This week's PFT Power Rankings are out and here's what Mike Florio had to say about the Eagles.

28. Eagles: Best evidence that Garrett Reid wasn’t distributing steroids? The team’s won-loss record.

He's getting beat up pretty good by the looks of the comments. What a totally tasteless thing to say.

Some people...

It's no worse than people on here questioning Andy and his wife's parenting skills and stability inside the home.  Then again Florio is on a platform that demands more professionalism than what is demonstrated in TATE.  Ahh well, I smirked at the remark.

Florio being employed by NBC just makes it a joke. The lack of professionalism that is replacing journalism is a truly horrific thing.

Out of line for a national website and sports personality.  Not for a regular blow joe here on the EMB.

PFT Power Rankings

You should have stopped reading at about that point. PFT is a blog. Nothing more. Flunkio is a know nothing... he'd actually fit in here in TATE though... lol

Disgusting. Can someone find an email for NBC to write in official complaints about this? This is just as bad as Rob Parkers RG3 comments.

PFT breaks some stories now and then, but for the most part they're pretty awful. Not quite as awful as Bleacher Report, but pretty awful.

really?  Parker is a race baiting scumbag. Florio is just an idiot who thinks he can make a cheap joke.  Worlds apart.

I think making jokes at the expense of a recently deceased son of a coach is just as bad as race baiting. If you disagree with that then I think we should just agree to disagree.

I left a comment as did others in the blog, not rude, but pointed, and it was deleted. It looks like all subsequent comments after mine addressing the issue have been deleted also. What a classless act.

Bull****. That a way to excuse some of the stupid and hurtful **** people say on here. People need to be responsible for some of the **** they say MB or not.

They get 99% of their stuff from newspapers or TV networks in NFL cities.

I did some digging around, and I think if anyone wants to complain directly to NBC to avoid Florio's moderatoration this would be the place to go.

I don't see what the problem is. There's been some speculation about Garret and those steroids and he makes a good point. If the Eagles were all drugged up surely they would be able to make a tackle here and there.

Actually that's the saddest thing about this. The logic is severely flawed. One could easily argue that their supplier was cut off and that this explains the troubles. The comment itself is despicable, but the logic behind it is pathetic.

Florio is a classless a**.

The comment was tasteless, unprofessional.

You have to first be professional to later be unprofessional... lol

[eephraim]

Living in Canada I didn't even here about Parker's comments or even know who he was cause we don't get ESPN.

He should be fired immediately. No questions asked. WTF is wrong with TV executives these days?

Florio? Not so sure. It was a tasteless comment full of speculative BS but it's not like he hasn't pulled this crap before.

Exactly. Florio is a complete tool.

pft gets real lazy with their "articles" i always see things that real professional journalists wouldnt write.

Rob Parkers comments were racist and disrepectful, this was just a dark joke.

[cmart102]

well we at least know no one will read it if it's on PFT

[Marinomanx013]

I usually respect PFT as a handy source for a variety of stories, but Florio does get away with some pretty unprofessional comments. Good thing I don't consider him as a professional. But still... yeah, others do, so he doesn't need to be saying stuff like this, for sure.

[metalhead0043]

Yeah, that was pretty low. I stopped reading PFT a couple of years ago because of Florio's obvious bias against the Eagles and the fans. This just reaffirms what an arse he is.

His rating around #28 is about right, but thats just f'in class-less to say about someones son that passed just a few months back. I wish Andy would punch him in the face if he ever saw him

parker is rotten to his core and has put out this type of garbage consistently in his career, flurio is an idiot at his core who thought he could make a  bad joke.   I'm ok with agreeing to disagree.
