Fly Eagles Fly...

The Eagles are 4-0 going into today gainst Carolina. T.O. is everything adverstised and McNabb is having a Pro Bowl-type year. I haven't mentioned anything about them because I'm being cautiously optimistic. Three straight NFC Chamionship games, three straight losses to weaker opponents. That hurts.

This what it's like to be a birds fan; Imagine meeting a beautiful girl who is smokin' hot, has the same interests as you and you have a passionate affair for 6-months. One day she just leaves with no forewarning. She just breaks your heart. It takes you half a year to even stop crying at the thought of her. You finally get to the point that you can go on without her and maybe even date someone else. Out of the blue she calls you again and the relationship becomes torrid again. Then after six more months she up and leaves, same as before. You feel worse this time because you've told yourself that this time it was forever. Six months later she calls...

That is what being a birds fan is like. This time it feels different though...

At the beginning of the season, it looked as though the schedule would be brutal, now it looks as though the schedule is among the easiest in the NFC. The Giants are playing decent ball but the birds whooped their asses on opening day. The Steelers and Ravens should be a test but the birds defense is awesome and McNabb is throwing the ball to 7 different receivers every game. Making the playoffs is not enough, making it to the NFC Championship game again is not enough, the Superbowl is the only goal.

BTW, they also have the hottest cheerleaders in the business.
