Now I understand his comments :-)

the end of the season let down they are famous for

you mean that part where none of the starters played more than a quarter? now I'm positive you don't have a television.

are you STILL trying to save some face? my "second rams super bowl" comment was a direct response to your (stupid) assertion they had won two. I can't believe we're even still discussing this.

I think you are a very confused person. I admitted I misspoke. You are the other hand made a silly comment and yet all you can do is spew insults and obsess over my penis

Right now I am rubbing your nose in your misstatement. Let's review your statement:

Libertarian4Bush: "find that second st louis rams super bowl yet?"

So have you found that second St. Louis Rams Superbowl yet?

So now your excuse for the Eagles late season let down year after year after year is NONE of the starters played more than a quarter. Clearly honesty is not something you strive for.

And you want to tell us the Steelers can't?

We're not talking about can or can't..we're talking about a coaching decision based on the most likely chance of success.

I wouldn't say there's a lack of celebration on the Pats website, sure there's no video, but the front page is all about them being the AFC champs, including links to buy their AFC champs gear and a link to by the 2 DVD set on their 21 game win streak. Seems to be plenty of celebration.

Go to the Eagles website: you are greeted by a video of an Eagle doing a dance routine (looks like a funky chicken variant) and then when you go to the main website you see an animated Eagle going a fairly stiff dance routine. What does dancing have to do with football? Like I said, if the football thing does not work out the Eagles could get some chorus line work. Maybe they can do a cancan dance on kickoffs, that would be special.

:-)

Funny, I went back to the website and the opening funky chicken dance is gone and so is the animated dancing Eagle (it was there earlier today). Guess they decided to change their image.

I went to both. The video on the Eagles site was them celebrating the win Sunday afternoon, all clips from Fox. Although they seem to have gotten rid of it now.

Of course that's all PR department stuff anyway, nobody that will actually be on the field on the 6th was involved in that, except maybe the mascot.

The video I saw had a dancing Eagle (in full custom dress) dancing his way out of a giant Eagles helmet with lots of theatrical smoke - reminded me of a Vegas show or maybe a drag show from the movie "Priscilla of the desert".

I think I have had about as much fun as can be had with this issue.

What the hell was thinking by ticking off Harrison? I'm sure the other receivers on his team are really glad he did that.

let me guess, you're a christian. or wait, wait - let me try again. (you read somewhere that) the eagles fans booed a crackhead, so that makes it okay to take joy in someone's injury.

???

You've got to lay off the Yuengling this early in the day, my friend.

Really? How is that possible? The Patriots have to worry about only two people in green. McNabb and Westbrook.

The Eagles have demonstrated that they can spread it around. They could probably pull a fan from the stands and give him three or more receptions.

The Eagles defense has great depth, and Jim Johnson is a defensive genius. The relatively immobile Tom Brady is in for a long day if the Eagles come with various blitz packages, which I'm sure is in the game plan.

The Eagles have 3 Pro Bowl defensive backs.

The Eagles are much better against the run with the reaquisition of Trotter.

Donovan McNabb is a nightmare against defensive schemes, and a few well-placed scrambles can throw an opponent's game plan out the window.

Westbrook is one of the most underrated players in the NFL......he will be a superstar barring any catastrophic injury.

God doesn't like Ted Kennedy and his ilk (laughing)

You don't have to look that high up to find a whole passle of people who hate him around here. I don't understand how he keeps getting re-elected.

I think it will be a great game. My understanding is that the the line thinks so, as the Eagles are 7 point underdogs.

....but in all fairness, I doubt God is a big fan of the corrupt political machine that runs Philly.

Re: Post 2216:

The writer lists the attributes of half-a-dozen Eagles, some of which are Pro-Bowlers.

This makes my point that the Eagles are a collection of superb athletes but the Patriots are a TEAM.
