Eagles owner used disgusting Sєxual reference to argue why Tush Push should be kept in crucial NFL meeting

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie reportedly made a crude Sєxual analogy when discussing the ‘tush push’ on Wednesday at a fiery league meeting.

Lurie spoke for nearly an hour at a session that included NFL owners and team and league executives, as he argued against banning the short-yardage play which has become a staple for the Eagles (the vote to ban the play was ultimately unsuccessful).

And according to ESPN’s Seth Wickersham, Lurie at one point said it was ‘like a wet dream for a teenage boy’ to create the play.

In Wickersham’s paraphrasing of the incident, Lurie reportedly boasted that the ‘play that was so successful that the only way for it to be stopped was for it to be banned.’ 

Lurie was later scolded by NFL Executive Vice President of football operations Troy Vincent, who noted there were women in the meeting.

49ers owner Jed York reportedly had some pointed words for Lurie as well, asking him ‘how much more s***’ he needed to say amid his lengthy speech.

Ultimately, the vote to ban the controversial play failed following a tally of 22-10, falling two votes shy of the 24 needed to ban the play.

Eagles icon Jason Kelce was also in Minnesota to defend the merits of the play.

And the former center was seen smiling and hugging Eagles staff after the vote had concluded.  

The Packers led the charge to ban the play over the past year, even changing the wording of late in a refreshed bid to convince owners.

While the initial proposal in March referred to a ban on players pushing their teammate from behind ‘immediately at the snap,’ the new proposal does not specifically use the word ‘snap’ at all.

‘Prohibits an offensive player from pushing, pulling, lifting or ᴀssisting the runner except by individually blocking opponents for him,’ the proposal reads in the updated ‘Effect’ section.

The new proposal also entirely replaced one section – which referred specifically to the snap – with a more simplified line: ‘ᴀssist the runner except by individually blocking opponents for him.’

Ultimately, the play was preserved, with ESPN’s Adam Schefter later revealing who voted against a ban.

In addition to the Eagles, the Ravens, Browns, Lions, Jaguars, Dolphins, Patriots, Saints, Jets and тιтans voted against a ban.

Notably, Saints coach Kellen Moore is a former ᴀssistant of Eagles coach Nick Sirianni.

Meanwhile, the Colts and Cardinals (led by former Sirianni ᴀssistants Shane Steichen and Jonathon Gannon respectively) voted to ban the play.
