Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is “fine” and resting at home following a strange incident on Friday night, a source tells ESPN.com’s Tim McManus. As first reported by Mike Kaye of NJ.com, Goedert was sucker punched at a South Dakota restaurant.

A video posted on Sunday seems to corroborate that version of events (Twitter link). In the security footage, Goedert appears to be asking one patron to move away from him. Then, a second man walks into the frame and punches Goedert in the face. The suspected sucker puncher was arrested over the weekend.
Goedert was knocked out cold, but, thankfully, escaped any life-threatening injury. And, if the video pretty much tells the whole story, the tight end will not be in danger of league discipline.
Goedert, 25, broke out with 58 catches, 607 yards, and five touchdowns. The Eagles are counting on him to keep up the good work and give defenses fits in 2020 as he supports star Zach Ertz. And, if Goedert delivers, he’ll have an opportunity to secure a major payday – he’ll be extension-eligible after the season.
Football Gods hate this team what the heck
Didn’t the football “Gods” just give you a Super Bowl championship
even that year the whole team coudlnt stay healthy. that was just sheer force of will.
THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD
There are 0
Bostonfan4life… that is TRUTH!!
Funny that is technically incorrect for a christian.
It’s the joy of being from Philly. I’ve suffered with the Eagles for a long, long time (Franklin Field). I just freaking hope they stay healthy this year. If they do they’ll at least win the division with this abbreviated preseason affecting the three other new coaches. They’ll be faster.
Maybe someone will eventually figure out why
down goes dallas, down goes dallas, down goes dallas
If only that referred to the team, but it was still funny.
Anyone see this as an omen? Dallas is gonna get popped in the mouth this year.
I like it!
Surprised the media isn’t blaming a cop or trump over this
give it time
If anyone in this country still supports Trump you are a traitor. No question about it.
No not a traitor trump has that name badge all to himself trump supporters are just low IQ individuals who believe in things like Santa Claus and the Easter bunny and that Trump is their new lord and savior, he took over Jesus’s duties in case you missed it. Trump supporters are what we people who are capable of complex thought, call simple folk, not to many thoughts of deep introspection and self betterment run through a trump supporters head. They still think Hilary s coming to get their kids for her prostitution ring ran out of the New York pizza parlor. dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb super retarded people love trump and that’s all I have to say about that.
Yet they all think they are what God intended. It’s kind of amazing.
Are you ok, bro? Serious question. That’s a lot of hate and rage directed at anonymous fellow humans. You may not be a fan of Trump, Hillary, Obama, bush, Mother Theresa, Benito moussilini, mao ze dong, pol pot, pelosi, AOC, Stalin, Ghandi, MLK, or judge Judy. You may possibly hate them all, but they all are/were in the same class as you; HUMAN
Agreed. I wish politics wasn’t so personal. I think Trump supporters just feel disenfranchised and reached for whoever they thought could help.!
Trump with the EZ win because of actual morons like tigerd and stillers12
And Russians like you, I’m sure. Thanks Viktor.
And political idiots like you, tigerd, were why Gore, Kerry and Clinton lost (Romney, too, for that matter), even with the popular vote favoring Al and Hil. With all of the policies you and your ilk could attack, you just can’t resist going after the relative intelligence of the other side’s voters or of the opposing candidate himself. Political Stupidity 101.
And before anyone questions my bona fides, I wore a McGovern button as a ten-year old in 1972, supported Ford in ’76, voted for Anderson in ’80, and have voted third party, on the left, ever since in a safely D state. And every president in my lifetime has been a war criminal, Saint Jimmy, included.
I don’t disagree with you, sadly I think you’ll be disappointed with every president from here on out. I think the best people don’t want the job of president.
I really don’t think you did yourself any favors, or converted anybody intellectually with that rant. Anyhow, give it a break on the politics. We all have our beliefs and opinions. I want sports pages to talk sports.
Maybe not, but I saw someone behaving stupidly, and repeating a stupid practice I’d seen many times before, so I called it out. I probably shouldn’t have used the word idiot, but c’est la vie.
I just came from the latest Kaepernick post here, so I can understand your sentiment, but at this point in time, you’re going to find yourself out of luck for a while. The country is in just too much political flux right now, pro sports CAN’T avoid the COVID-19 debates, and the players just WON’T be put back in their apolitical box right now, not after the Floyd video. We’re all going to have to pick and choose, hunt and peck, when we want a non-political sports fix, at least until training camps – knock on wood – open.
