Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Chip Kelly is very sure of himself. So when the Eagles coach turns up the smug-meter and starts running a little pompous and egotistical, its just par for the course. That said, something caught my ear at Kellys season-ending press conference, a veiled shot at his general manager Howie Roseman. Kelly said Roseman was good at handling the salary cap, on the surface a compliment to anyone who doesnt understand the inner-workings of the Eagles. To those who do, however, it was a clear shot at Roseman, a glorified money man who has risen through the ranks of the organization and now fashions himself as a football guy despite no prior experience as a player, coach or scout. For me to stand there and say, I think paragraph five of his contract should mean this, instead of this. Thats not my forte, not my strength, Kelly said when queried about his relationship with Roseman. Im not going to delve into that and say, I think his signing bonus should be this, but lets retroactive that and only make it for injury in the third and fourth year. Thats not my strength. I understand it, but thats really what (Roseman) does an outstanding job of that. I think since Ive been here one of the attractive things about this job, there are not cap issues. You dont look at it and go, Oh, my God. Were going to have to cut 12 players because were going to be $40 million over the cap. (Roseman) does an outstanding job of that. Thats his training. To anyone who knows Roseman and what makes him tick, thats as passive aggressive as it gets. Kelly further aggravated his insecure GM when he called now-ousted vice president of player personnel Tom Gamble an outstanding football man. Two different sources who know Roseman well said he was seething after Kellys statements, which marginalized him in the personnel aspect of the business. Kelly is a lot like Jim Harbaugh, though. Its football 24-7 for Chip and the ex-49ers coach and both underestimated the political savvy of their respective general managers. Harbaugh is now at the University of Michigan because of his miscalculations with Trent Baalke and this dust-up in Philadelphia could signal the beginning of the end for Kelly with the Eagles. Roseman is a shark that probably missed his calling in life, a take-no- prisoners operative in the mold of Rahm Emanuel. At 39, hes the youngest GM in football but dont let his boyish looks fool you, the list of executives who have lost power struggles with him is stunning: Joe Banner, Tom Heckert, Jason Licht, Ryan Grigson, Louis Riddick, and now Gamble. When Kelly made his move, Roseman had his people quickly leak the fact that the New York Jets were looking to talk to him about their vacant general manager position, conveniently leaving out the fact that the Jets did indeed want to talk to Roseman but it was about Eagles pro personnel director Rick Meuller. That little nugget certainly got to Philadelphia owner Jeffrey Lurie, who already considered Roseman his indispensable right-hand man on the football side of things, something that could have been validated by the feigned Jets interest. Gamble, meanwhile, was Kellys most trusted advisor on the football side, a man with nearly 30 years of NFL experience who paid the price for the coachs insolence by being fired on New Years Eve. Described as a mutual parting of the ways, Gamble was actually escorted from the NovaCare complex by security, a high-profile pawn in a game of inside baseball between Roseman and Kelly. A game which Roseman won. It was Gamble who had Kellys ear when it came to talent and the coach was given final say on the 53-man roster when he was hired in 2013, meaning Gamble had more say over who was playing for the Eagles this season than Roseman. And that wasnt about to change because Kelly has little respect for Roseman when it comes to player evaluation. Others have speculated that Roseman was also concerned that Kelly was so popular in the city that he could eventually flex his muscles to oust him and elevate Gamble to GM. A December swoon and a poorly perceived 2014 draft hurt Kellys reputation a bit and Roseman pounced, using that, along with the coachs own hubris, to fortify a power base that will only grow from here.

"I dont know where we would be without him," McClendon said. "Hes done a tremendous job for us and (Wednesday) was no different." Logan Morrison drove in two runs in Seattles big sixth inning, Young pitched seven strong innings and the Mariners beat the Houston Astros 5-2 to complete a three-game sweep. The 35-year-old Young has bounced back after missing the 2013 season after shoulder surgery. His eight wins are second on the team behind ace Felix Hernandez and he has a 3.11 ERA. Its the first time hes won eight games since winning nine in 2007. The Mariners were down by two before a four-run sixth inning, highlighted by Morrisons double to right field off Brad Peacock (2-5) that put them on top. James Jones scored on a wild pitch in the inning and John Buck had an RBI single. Young (8-4) allowed two hits -- both solo homers -- and struck out a season-high eight. It was his most strikeouts since he fanned nine against Colorado in 2012. Fernando Rodney pitched a scoreless ninth for his 24th save. "For the most part I made very good pitches," Young said. "I kept them off balance, really had two good off-speed pitches today and good fastball command. I was pleased." Marwin Gonzalez and rookie Kike Hernandez homered for the Astros. Hernandez has three hits and two RBIs in two games since being called up from the minors. Dustin Ackley had three hits for the second straight game after snapping an 0-for-21 skid on Tuesday night, and Jones had a hit to finish the series with eight hits, six runs and two RBIs. Seattle has scored 11 runs in the sixth inning in the last two games after managing just 31 runs in that inning in the first 83 games this season. The Mariners couldnt get anything going against Peacock until the sixth inning. Jones got things started with a single with one out, and Peacock plunked Cano and walked Kyle Seager on four pitches to load the bases. Jones cut the lead to one when he scored on a wild pitch, and Morrisons two-run double gave Seattle a 3-2 lead. Bucks run-scoring ssingle pushed the lead to 4-2 and chased Peacock.dddddddddddd. "He just lost command," manager Bo Porter said. "Lost command of the strike zone. He was in a complete groove and what we felt like complete control of the game then had the hit batter where he held on to a cut fastball too long and then was not able to get back in the zone." Peacock allowed six hits and four runs in 5 1-3 innings. He was replaced by Anthony Bass, who was making his first appearance since May 10 after being reinstated from the disabled list on Wednesday. Bass allowed a single by Ackley with two outs before retiring Brad Miller to end the inning. Robinson Cano hit a two-out double in the seventh and scored on a single by Kyle Seager to push the lead to 5-2. Young didnt allow a hit until Gonzalezs homer to right field with one out in the third inning. It was the second home run of the series for Gonzalez, who recently became Houstons everyday shortstop when opening day starter Jonathan Villar was optioned to Triple-A. He got right back on track after that, retiring the next seven batters. Houstons didnt get another hit until the home run by Hernandez with two outs in the fifth made it 2-0. Young has given up 14 home runs this season, which leads the team, but 11 of those homers have been solo shots. Peacock allowed a single to Dustin Ackley with two outs in the second inning before retiring the next six batters. John Buck singled with two outs in the fourth, but Peacock still faced the minimum in that inning when he was out trying to stretch it into a double. Jose Altuve grabbed the less-than-perfect throw from rookie left fielder Domingo Santana and crawled to the bag for the out. Peacock threw a perfect fifth inning and struck out Endy Chavez to start the sixth before the trouble began.
