Often, because we're movie buffs, we try to imagine ways to incorporate some of cinema's most memorable lines into a story about the Philadelphia Eagles. It almost never works, but today we've figured out how to do it (even if we're stretching).

"Fear lasts longer than love". Remember that? Credit A Bronx Tale for that. Now, the accuracy of that statement can be tested, but here's why we bring it up.

Eagles news: Saquon Barkley wins NFC Offensive Player of the Month.

This probably won't surprise anyone. The love shown to Saquon Barkley continues. His march through November began with a reverse hurdle that found its way into EA's Madden NFL game. It ended with him breaking two 70-yard TD runs during a primetime game vs. the Los Angeles Rams.

For his efforts, he has unsurprisingly been named NFC Offensive Player of the Month. LeBron James certainly wasn't shocked. Neither were we.

We could have written this story a month ago. Saquon's march to a possible MVP trophy continues. One of his teammates, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, earned a mention of a different sort.

Beat writers from around the NFL's landscape polled 110 players during the months of August and September. Voting was done anonymously, but the results were free to the public. Well, sort of...

You have to pay to get behind the paywall to read this one, but the Eagles are home to two of pro football's most annoying players. C.J. Gardner-Johnson took the top spot on the list. Our beloved Brandon Graham cracked the list in fourth place.

Oh, well... What can we say other than this? No one likes us... You know the rest...
