Don't get fooled. All this talk about TO is to take the media away from the other players and allow them to focus. In the world of stage magic they call this hiding the real motion behind the large motion.

You mean auto eroticism, onanism or just plain masturbation?

If you believe that the Eagles will win the Super Bowl with smoke and mirrors you're living in la-la land. It's about football.

Bye the way, how much are you seeing about the Patriots. Almost nothing. Everything in the media is about the Eagles. It's the Eagles that have to deal with the distractions and the T. O. issue is a major distraction. Having so much on the shoulders of one man sure indicates the Eagles aren't "a team". They're a collection of spoiled athletes.

No I mean making people pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

I don't believe they're going to win with smoke and mirrors, I'm pretty sure they're going to lose. I'm just saying don't let all this TO talk fool you into thinking they're a 1 guy team. They've still got McNabb and Westbrook, and Kearse and a solid defensive line.

You never see much about the Pats, they're players are very well schooled into not giving the kind of juicy sound bites the sports media craves, this makes them "boring" to cover (actually it makes them difficult to cover and the sports media are lazy, but they excuse it by saying the team is boring).

The Eagles are a team. And a pretty darn good team at that, just probably not good enough to beat the Pats for all the marbles.

What's with this Eagles wide-out mouthing off now that he's going to "have" something for Rodney Harrison? Are you sure you want to give Rodney something like that to be pissed off about????

[Libertarian4Bush]

first of all, you've made it clear that you have an axe to grind. this doesn't exactly set your credibility high to begin with. then, when you say stupid things like this:

indicates the Eagles aren't "a team".

it shows you haven't watched much football. or at least haven't learned from it. this team has won without westbrook, without owens, even without mcnabb (2 yrs ago). every year, they let go of popular players, and every year, they win the same number of games or more.

they may not necessarily beat the patriots, but to say they aren't a team is simply idiotic on its face.
