Reporter ejected from press box by Eagles after he was reportedly talking too loud

While a fairly meaningless Philadelphia Eagles-Dallas Cowboys game was going on Sunday, reporters were suddenly fired up when a fellow reporter was ejected from the press box.

What was the offense committed by Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Jeff McLane? He was … talking too loud.

Apparently, according to an account by Philadelphia Daily News reporter Les Bowen, McLane and others were talking too loud, were admonished and McLane disagreed with the admonishment. Here’s Bowen’s tweets on what happened:

Bowen wasn’t happy to see that one of his colleagues was ejected from the press box during a game, something you practically never see.

And the drama in the press box ended up getting more attention from Eagles reporters on Twitter than the game itself, which was mostly a snoozer as Mark Sanchez played most of it for a disinterested Dallas team.

Bowen identified Eagles senior vice president Anne Gordon as the one who had McLane ejected.

So 2017 is off to a good start for the relationship between the Eagles and the Philadelphia media.
