can we get back to football, plz?!

i'm so sick and tired of baseball and whatever else is on. after basketball, i don't care anymore!! it's all about the NFL! draft! free agents! ota! training camp! FOOTBALL!!

things don't always work out how you wanted

...well, sports-wise @ the moment...after that embarrassin loss to the Chicago Bears last Sunday where we were out-played and out-coached, the Philadelphia Eagles bounced back in a, i wouldn't call it a 4th quarter comeback, rally to beat the Houston Texans. the Texans did have the lead to start the 2nd half but TE Brent Celek made a spectacular play to extend the ball for a 1st down durin a 3rd and 19 play. the officials, doin the best job as always, marked him down before the line so good ol' Andy Reid tossed his red flag...with the encouragement and support of the entire stadium of course (yes, i was there encouragin!! :D)

so call reversed and QB Michael Vick threw a short TD pass to the left for FB Owen Schmitt to seal the win. the game ended around 11:30 for us and i didn't get home 'til almost 12:30 am...eek! but well worth it for the win, specially a Thursday game (boo!) that did lead to this Sunday bein a little stressed free and enjoyin some NFC football

i, and many Eagles fans, was hopin for a few things to happen yesterday:
-Dallas Cowboys to lose to the home team, Indianapolis Colts...but yet QB Peyton Manning struggled in overtime and they kicked a 40+ yarder and won it 38-35...boo!!
-New York Giants to lose to the Washington Redskins (highly unlikely, i know) so we can have sole posession of the NFC east but again, the Skins got blown out, 7-31
-Chicago Bears to lose to the Detroit Lions, again, another unlikely outcome and unlikely it was...even though the Lions came closer than the Skins
-Green Bay Packers to also lose to the San Francisco 49ers but...GB have Aaron Rodgers and SF has
-New Orleans Saints to lose to the Cincinnati Bengals but that's also unlikely, not highly, but unlikely since Terrell Owens is a fag and the Bengals are goin nowhere :)
-last is the reignin NFC leader, the Atlanta Falcons to lose to the Tampa Bay Bucaneers, which was close, but no cigars...arrr!

so there you have it...i can't expect everythin to go smoothly in life...shit happens. it sucks, but i'm dealin with it. i'm hopin it'll all work out soon but i know my position. so does the Birds, and that's half a game on top of the NFC east...leaders are N-Bears, S-Falcons, E-Eagles, W-Rams (yes, the St. Louis Rams)

g'luck next week against Dallas! VENGEANCE!

dwindlin down to 53...

as the Philadelphia Eagles prepare for Thursday night game against the New York Jets, they are also preparin to cut their 75 man roster down to 53. with 5 players gone already:

G - Greg Isdaner

G - Zipp Duncan

...we also traded FB converted from RB Charles Scott

to the Arizona Cardinals for CB Jorrick Calvin

can't forget rookie DE Ricky Sapp gettin placed on IR for some knee issue, so in returned we picked up another DE, Pannel Egboh, from the Houston Texans

...can't wait to see what the Birds have in stored from now 'til September 12th!!
