Multiple former Philadelphia Eagles lost their talk show on Monday.
In a report from The Athletic, it was revealed that the Fox Sports network, FS1, has decided to axe multiple shows. One of those shows, The Facility, was the home to former athletes who once suited up for the Eagles at a point in time.
The most notable is LeSean McCoy. Just last year, McCoy was inducted into the Eagles’ Hall of Fame. After a successful career as a top NFL running back, McCoy earned himself a spot on FS1’s network due to his unfiltered takes on football.
McCoy’s NFL career started in 2009, when he was drafted in the second round by the Eagles. He played the first six seasons of his career with the Eagles before getting shockingly traded to the Buffalo Bills ahead of the 2015 NFL season. Before leaving Philadelphia, McCoy made franchise history in the rushing game.
The veteran running back spent four seasons with the Bills before he had one-year stints with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Although he wasn’t a starter for the two organizations, he won both of his Super Bowl rings then.

As for Emmanuel Acho, he started his media career in 2016. He landed at Fox Sports in 2020, where he became a prominent face for the brand.
Before his media career, Acho was a sixth-round pick out of Texas in 2012. He started his NFL career with the Cleveland Browns in 2012. During the Eagles’ 2013 offseason, Acho was a member of the team after being traded by the Browns. He didn’t make final cuts initially, but he was signed back for a second stint after he joined the New York Giants’ practice squad.
Acho played for the Eagles until 2015. Once he wrapped up his second stint in Philadelphia, he began working on his media venture.
The former quarterback Chase Daniel will join Acho and McCoy. Daniel spent one season with the Eagles in 2016 as the backup to then-rookie Carson Wentz. When Daniel joined the Eagles in 2016, he signed a three-season deal with the team. He was slated to back up Sam Bradford, who was suddenly traded to the Minnesota Vikings during the offseason.
Ahead of Daniel’s second season with the Eagles, he was released, which led him to join the New Orleans Saints. Daniel was replaced by Nick Foles, who would later help the Eagles win their first Super Bowl in franchise history.
The next move for Daniel, McCoy, and Acho is unclear.
