"I think Libertarian4Bush's point is that the Eagles have a history of losing the big one."
So did the Patriots until 2002 and let us not forget the Red Sox. Everything changes.
The best team from each league is in the Super Bowl. I think the Pats are better than the Eagles, but the game has yet to be played.
All of this flaming is unnecessary... and pointless.
But common (when talking sports) and fun. I just hope the Eagles bring their crying towels.
Your statement is right on the money except for one point. I do believe the best team from each league is in the Superbowl and either team could win. As for the flaming - what else is their to do in the two weeks before the game - trash talk before the Superbowl is an institution.
I do think this could be the Eagles' year. They are very strong but they still suffered from the end of the season let down they are famous for although they clearly snapped out of it in the playoffs. I am not a fan of Superbowl repeaters (unless it is the Redskins) so usually I hope for the repeater to be defeated but Philadelphia fans are so nasty and petty I think I will be forced into being a Pats fan. Trash Talk is all that is available in the two weeks before the Superbowl - it is fun to watch how the fans of the teams handle it. From my experience, the teams that talk the most trash are the teams that lose. When the Redskins lost the Superbowl in 1984 - that year they were doing a lot of trash talking (hey, they were repeaters). Go to the Eagles website - it is full of videos and animation of victory dances (the Eagles could always fall back on chorus line work) - you don't see that on the Pat's website.
