It's football time again... - Page 15

The Eagles will be sending Brett Favre lots of thank you cards this week. The Eagles found their game towards the end of the fourth quarter, but Favre's airball in OT made it possible for Akers's game-winning FG.

Bring on the Panthers!

"Why no Philadelphia Eagles, YOU go to the NFC Championship game. I INSIST." - Brett Favre.

That's it. Irrefutable proof that this season, the Eagles have initiated the largest systemized bribery ring in NFL history. Refs, Brian Mitchell, and now Favre.

Granted, the Eagles got lucky tonight...and have been fortunate in that they've weathered a so-so offense and a beat-up defense...but they're not THAT lucky. They're a good team. Good enough to beat Carolina next Sunday night.

Fourteen minutes in between my post and Syc's newest one...I suppose that's enough time to confirm that the check cleared.

Hmm...

I know...you're just mad b/c you're not getting the free cheesesteak I offered you at the beginning of the season.

I believe that Favre just made an abrupt on-the-field decision to change careers and cash out his pension plan. Not that I'm complaining, but QBs for Central Bucks West wouldn't have made that throw.

If the Eagles lose to Carolina, expect a razor-blade shortage in the Philly area, because _nobody_ will be able to handle it.

I blame the Green Bay coaches for handing the game to the Eagles. The way the game was progressing, they should have continued to hammer Green down the Eagles' throats.

vsp · 01-12-2004, 09:52 AM

I believe that yesterday's game was a bit of social concern in the NFL, and that Favre and his coaches were very desirous of a black quarterback to do well.

I still say that the Chiefs are the best half of a football team in the NFL.

But there won't be a Chiefs/Rams SuperBowl this year.

I want a Colts-Panthers SB. The Colts, because I picked them to win the thing, and the Panthers, because my faith in God's existence can only take so many body blows.

THERE IS A GOD!!!!

That was an ugly ugly game. Carolina was solid though, and they deserve that trip to Houston.

Nah. Nothing's proven. The Eagles just suck ass.

At least my sister, who lives in Rhode Island, will be spared the difficult decision of who to root for ...

Two teams I like facing each other in the Super Bowl... I must be living right. It's only happened a handful of times since the late seventies, which is when I started watching the game, and I had a stretch of nearly 20 consecutive years where the team I wanted to win the Super Bowl _always_ lost. XXXI (Green Bay - New England in '97) was the first time I didn't have an active rooting interest -- i.e. I didn't have a motherfucking Cowboys, Giants, motherfucking Raiders, Redskins, motherfucking 49ers or Steelers to root against.

'86 doesn't really count, because even the Patriots knew they didn't belong on the field against the Bears that year...
