AJ Brown called into a Philadelphia sports talk radio station to clear the air about his position with the Eagles.

On Friday afternoon, Brown called into WIP’s afternoon drive show with Ike Reese and Jack Fritz and said he intended to return.
“There’s no problem,” Brown said.
“I want to be here, it’s that simple. I love where I am, it’s that simple. Next question.”
“I’m the person this team needs because I’m willing to hold people accountable and make those around me better,” Brown said later. “But no one sees it. All you see is a little inflammation… No one works harder than me in that building, I can say that on that basis. ”
Mr Brown also called the idea that there was a “rift” with Mr Hertz fake news.
“I think that’s BS,” Brown said.
“I’m not going to go into my relationship with him on the air. It’s complete BS. It was fine during the six-game winning streak. They only started talking about it when we started losing.”
He also called the radio station and asked the host: You’re supposed to be supporting Philadelphia, but you’re not. Why do people make up so many rumors when most of them aren’t even true? These are rumors you made up and everyone believes them. ”
