Cori's Corner

Hosted by educator and football enthusiast Cori Middleton, this solo podcast breaks down the rules, strategies, and big moments of the NFL in a way that’s clear, hype, and actually makes sense — whether you’re brand new to football or a longtime fan who wants to go deeper. Each week, Cori teaches you the "why" behind the game: from formations and penalties to player matchups and coaching decisions.

    Eagles Collapse vs Rams, Lane Johnson Retires & Cowboys Are Rolling | Birds & The Boys Ep. 5

    Lane Johnson is officially retiring, the Philadelphia Eagles just blew a 20-10 lead against the Los Angeles Rams, and for the first time Cori is putting a loss directly on Nick Sirianni. Welcome to Episode 5 of Birds & The Boys. Cori and CJ break down another wild week of NFL football from both sides of the Eagles-Cowboys rivalry. On the Birds side, we discuss Lane Johnson’s retirement, Philadelphia’s growing injury problems, the offensive line struggles, Jalen Hurts, questionable fourth-down decisions, and whether Nick Sirianni’s situational coaching cost the Eagles a win against the Rams. Then it’s Boys Business. CJ breaks down the Cowboys’ 34-30 win over the Houston Texans, CeeDee Lamb’s monster 17-catch, 189-yard performance, Dak Prescott and the Dallas offense, George Pickens’ impact, and whether the Cowboys currently have the best offense in the NFC East. Then things get interesting. We rank the NFC East with the Giants, Cowboys, Eagles and Commanders, debate where Philadelphia belongs after falling to 2-2, and discuss whether Dallas should officially be considered the team to beat in the division right now. Plus, we make our picks for the upcoming NFL slate, includingEagles vs. Jaguars, Cowboys vs. Buccaneers, Ravens vs. Falcons, Bills vs. Rams and more. Two best friends. One Eagles fan. One Cowboys fan. And absolutely no agreement about the NFC East. Subscribe and join us every week for Birds & The Boys. #PhiladelphiaEagles #DallasCowboys #NFL #NFCEast #BirdsAndTheBoys
