Former Fox Sports personality Emmanuel Acho had a lot to say regarding the Philadelphia Eagles’ trade with the Baltimore Ravens.
Despite losing Lane Johnson to retirement this week, Philadelphia agreed to send two-time Pro Bowl center Cam Jurgens and a 2027 seventh-rounder to Baltimore in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick.
After this trade was announced, Acho posted a questionable video online that shows him jump-roping before he cuts his workout short and offers his stance on Philly’s apparent rebuild.
“The Eagles are in a rebuild. No Lane Johnson, no Cam Jurgens, Landon Dickerson is probably done or going to retire mid-season, 80% of the offensive line has changed over since the Super Bowl. This version of the Eagles’ Super Bowl window is closed. We got to accept that truth. Howie Roseman is looking at this season as a sunk cost.”

While Acho’s analysis may have been fine, NFL fans are convinced he staged this entire video to make it seem like a live reaction.
“Did you set your camera up, grab a jump rope, and fake a reaction? Why not just make a regular video talking about the trade?” one fan replied.
“You set that camera up, started jump roping and made this video….” a second fan wrote.
“He set his phone up grabbed a jump rope and faked a reaction to a trade,” another fan commented.
Where can fans get more of Acho?
Acho worked for Fox Sports, earning a Sports Emmy for his work on “Speak for Yourself.” He then hosted a show with LeSean McCoy called “The Facility” before being let go by the network.
Now, Acho hosts a talk show called “Speakeasy” that’s available on YouTube and other major platforms.
Judging by this week’s social media video, Acho still knows how to create viral content.
