Soooo....hmm...the Eagles...well what can i say? To lose to the Giants??? The arch-rivals? Eagles fans are typically taught from early on that the Giants and Cowboys are fierce foes, and while individual players may be admired from afar - never, ever root for them and in fact, a deep dislike is preferred. ::sigh:: And Trotter's injury - not good. But there were some awesome blocks from the offensive line and Westbrook was all over the place and who can say enough about Lewis' one-handed catch or the defense and dang but McMahon can throw bullets and run and leap and take hits and jump right back up (wonder how he's feeling today...<yikes>) - ....so grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr to this loss.
What is it about football that i enjoy so much? i've wondered that often. Maybe because i've been watching since five months old? Maybe the sheer competition? Maybe the exciting plays and tension? i'm not a statistics junky, i can't tell you the numbers that each player wears, sometimes i don't even know the names of the new guys for months, that is all unimportant...but i do know great block, i can pick out holding and clipping, i get crazy excited with a break-away run or a "Hail Mary" pass...when B.Dawkins comes out of nowhere and bats down balls or makes a block that rattles teeth, or Kearse, or Trotter...i can holler with the best of them..my stomach tenses when Westbrook is plowing through a pile o'guys and when McNabb or McMahon are scrambling i'm usually saying "look out, look out"...LOL..crazy. Who knows.
ps: it's nice that the Eagles have two QBs with Irish last names...
