Hey friend long time no talk. I'm ready but not excited, to leary to get excited. Fox is on live already with the pre-game show and Simineou is limping pretty badly. I'm stuck in they plowed my street and my car is, well you know, buried!
I'm with ya, FRiend! I've got to head out to dig the car out myself. We got the one snow plow yesterday around 4, and that will likely be it for this "Sam Katz leaning division". John Street has a plan for the snow removal, you know, it's called "August".
Having lost the three in a row, I'm throwing caution to the wind. I went out Friday and bought champagne (domestic of course) and some Martinellis for the kids. I've got a victory cigar picked out and will probably fish-tail around the neighborhood in the Eagles Green Ford, doing the horn and singing the fight song off key.
I can't really get my head around what it will be like to lose again.
Let's take comfort in this: Worst case scenario, the Falcons are up by 21 at half time, the game continues to deteriorate, Mac takes a blind side hit and is carried off the field in a stretcher, and the fans have a total melt down and respond with a barrage of snowballs that would put the Giants fans to shame, giving the haters fresh amunition for the next 20 years.
Well, it couldn't be THAT bad, so just incase, I'll take solace in that (an Eagles fan's survival kit).
I have a quiet confidence going into the game, but getting this monkey off our backs will be every bit as good as going to the Super Bowl.
