Eagles' A.J. Brown Sparks Controversy With In-Game Reading
What was Eagles' star receiver A.J. Brown doing on the bench during the team's playoff win against the Packers? Reading a book! Brown brought the book, 'Inner Excellence' by Jim Murphy, to the sidelines each week for a sense of peace. But why was he reading it? Was he frustrated or just focusing? Coach Nick Sirianni defended Brown, stating that he was 'definitely OK' with Brown's actions and encouraged his players to do what they need to put their minds in a place to play with detail and effort. Brown explained that he brings the book to every game and reads it because there are passages that bring him a sense of peace. The attention has been good for book sales, as 'Inner Excellence' took the top spot on Amazon's trending list.",\
