Well I get to spend the birthday of that really really nice guy who got in trouble for telling people to be good to each other at my girlfriend's house. It's a great opportunity for me to get drunk with her family and make an ass of myself. But supposively there's going to be a ping pong table and that should alleviate some of the akwardness.
It's a bittersweet time to be a Philly sports fan right now. The Sixers and Flyers are the absolute drek of their respective leagues. The Sixers just traded a future hall of famer and the face of their franchise for a decade for a slightly above average point guard, a washed up forward and two low first draft picks. Like Bill Simmons of ESPN has been saying it is getting 50 cents for a dollar. Furthermore, the guy making the draft picks is the guy responsible for making the Sixers the worst team in the league.
I won't waste any bandwidth on hockey and the Flyers.
The big story in Philadelphia right now is the showdown being played on the birthday of that really really nice guy who got in trouble for telling people to be good to each other between the birds and the cowboys. Romo vs. the Homo(well according to Terrell Owens). If you look at the game objectively, the ebb and flow and the intangibles seemingly favor the Cowboys. It is a revenge game, they are at home, the Eagles have won 2 consecative division road games with this game being a 3rd straight and the Cowboys are thirsty for a division title.
However, I think most Eagle fans are cautiously optimistic for good reason. They are in a position they have no right being in. Just a few weeks ago, nobody expect to even compete for a playoff spot, let alone control their own destiny for the division. Everyone's expectations were lowered signifigantly. Now they are playing well again and the expectations have been surpassed. And it is not like the Cowboys defense is playing great. They've allowed the fullback to score 6 TD's in the last 2 games. The have no cover safeties. If you can contain their pass rush, they can be beaten downfield, like in the first game between the two.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES! ! ! !
