Are You Ready For Some Football?

Philadelphians are raised to despise Dallas. So when the Eagles play the Cowboys on Monday Night Football, you can be sure half the city will report late to work on Tuesday.

When the Eagles lose to Dallas on Monday Night Football, you can be sure half the city will report late to work on Tuesday in a really foul mood.

The score sounded more like a WNBA final... 41-37. It was a great battle. But who scores 37 points and loses a football game?

Donovan McNabb was jovial when it was over. That's one thing that has always bothered me about him. He smiles as much in victory as he does in defeat. Perspective and an even-temper may suit him well in his personal life but for an Eagles quarterback those are unacceptable qualities.

If you lose to your nemesis 41-37 you should at least kick the Gatorade keg.

The Eagles actually have a chance this year. We'll see if they blow it...again.

I sure hope they don't. If I have to endure drunk men with Philly accents singing the Eagles fight song for the next 15 weeks, there better be a championship when it's over.

Can't stand either of those teams, as I am a fan of the World Champion NY Football Giants but being in Vegas couldn't help placing down some doug. Took the Eagles +7 and now I head to the MGM sports book to accept my winnings, smiling like McNabb after a loss.
