Hmmm... what could Coach Sherman's strategy be?

Perhaps he plans to lull the Rams AND the Eagles into a false sense of security... Yes, that MUST be it!

Oh well. At least we still get to watch Brett Favre and Bubba Franks in the Pro Bowl. And you, my friend, have earned yourself a delicious crabcake dinner. I shall, of course, settle up with you at your convenience. (After all, a gambling debt is a debt of honor.)

I'd considered sending you this as a Private Message, but I thought you'd get more mileage out of a public groveling.

Congratulations.

Yep...you're delusional.

I'll shoot you an e-mail or PM the next time I'm in Baltimore, which should be in the early spring.

Nah. And I hope you didn't take my PM in offense. A gentle ribbing...nothing more.

Favre simply had a very bad day. I think the better team won, but it should have been a hell of a lot closer. That game should not take away from the fact that he is a great QB, a lock for the Hall of Fame, and that he can handle pressure situations. He has already proven himself on many previous occasions.

As consolation, have a chuckle with this garbage printed in Monday's Philadelphia Daily News. (Granted, nobody should really read the Daily News, but I get humor out of it sometimes...plus it's tabloid-style, so it's easier to read on the El.)
