Springsteen and the Super Bowl
Aug 12, 2008 Eagles Rumors
Finally, the NFL appears to be making intelligent decisions about the half-time show. Honestly, did anyone not enjoy Tom Petty last year?
I have no doubt that the Boss will put on an outstanding show. Maybe the years of Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, and assorted teenie boppers are behind us. That would be nice.

Super Bowl XLII Lessons
Feb 4, 2008 Eagles Rumors
More than anything this January and February should teach us that nothing is impossible in the modern NFL. Nothing is inevitable, no team incapable of scoring an upset.
And there is no magic formula for success, no matter how hard we try to look for it. The New York Giants have a lot of talent, but they have looked absolutely miserable at times this season. Two months ago I had a Giants’ friend say this to me: “for the first time, today I started thinking about the Giants’ future without Eli.”
If this Giants’ team can win the Super Bowl, who isn’t a contender next year?

Suck it, Belichick
Feb 4, 2008 Eagles Rumors
And though the Giants’ victory is a tragedy in my world, I still find solace in a Patriots loss. Watching Belichick ignore Mike Carey’s pleas to stay on the sideline, abandon his team and leave the field with time on the clock was staggering. What an asshole.
Seeing the Patriots fail is something that brings me happiness, and I feel no guilt over this. Will they suffer the curse of the Super Bowl loser? God I hope so.
Super Bowl
Feb 4, 2008 Eagles Rumors
I am ill-prepared to live in a world where Eli Manning is a Super Bowl MVP. I’m shaken.
Dealing with my many friends who are Giants’ fans will be difficult for the next year. I always had the Eli jokes to trump whatever insults they threw my way. I’m not sure what I have to hang my hat on any more.
At least Shockey didn’t catch the game-winning touchdown.
Today sucks.
