Philadelphia Eagles roundup: Rodney McLeod gets married, Michael Buffer

Michael Buffer weighed in on a Philadelphia Eagles rookie recently, and Rodney McLeod ties the knot. It’s all here on this edition of ‘The Roundup’.

Michael Buffer, the owner of quite possibly one of the most famous voices in the history of announcing, weighed in on a Philadelphia Eagles rookie recently. That and Rodney McLeod‘s wedding are the subject of this edition of ‘The Roundup’.

Let’s begin with Philly’s own Hall of Fame sports and entertainment announcer, Mr. Buffer.

Most of us will never know what it’s like to make millions of dollars just for having a nice voice. Here are some of the most famous voices in Philly’s history. Try Boyz II Men, Phyllis Hyman, Teddy Pendergrass, Tammi Terrell, Merrill Reese, Kevin Hart and Meek Mill on for size.

We could name more, but that would take all day. Here’s the thing though. Michael Buffer may have one of the most famous voices of them all.

Eagles fans and writers recently spent some of their Spring and Summer debating a Bleeding Green Nation poll that started some talk about what a cool nickname would be for JJ Arcega-Whiteside. When, he joined the conversation himself, things really got interesting.

Buffer, then, took things over the edge on the first day of training camp with a tweet of his own.

Here’s that tweet from Buffer’s official Twitter account. Take a look.

Let’s move on one of the happiest moments of a young man or woman’s life, marriage.

It’s been a rough year for Eagles safety Rodney McLeod, at least professionally. His 2018 regular season ended after just three weeks. On September 29th of last year, he was placed on injured reserve after undergoing surgery to repair a torn MCL he suffered in the regular season’s third week.

It’s been a long road back, but McLeod will be on the field again in 2019. Not only that, he’ll probably be out there with a smile on his face. On Tuesday, a photo of Mr. and Mrs. McLeod popped up on his Instagram account.

Take a gander.

On Wednesday, he was present and accounted for at work. Training camp began on Wednesday, July 24th, and McLeod was there. If he’s healthy, and, it appears that he is, both he and Malcolm Jenkins will form one might be one of the best safety duos in the NFL.

The new season began for McLeod as best as it could. Now, we’ll see where things go from here.
