Ron Swanson talking about birthdays.
While I do believe it is nice that Carolina is getting some recognition, I’d feel better about this prediction if it weren’t coming from a paper that actually used this picture:

While this is funny, I just can’t take a print publication that used this seriously.
If these predictions were coming from a publication like Sports Illustrated or the NY Times, I’d feel better…. Well, about as good as one can feel about a meaningless prediction.
Go Cocks!

If Michael Vick doesn’t get killed tomorrow when we play the Steelers, we might be okay.
This guy most definitely had to have posted one of the hateful comments on Steve Smith’s Facebook page.
Before I say anything, I’m sure that MOST New York Giants fans aren’t like this loony individual.
For those of you that don’t know, the Philadelphia Eagles signed Steve Smith, a free agent wide receiver that was a beloved New York Giant. He was on the team that won the Super Bowl and he went to the Pro Bowl in 09.
Anyway, I was made aware of his Facebook page and that many Giants fans are upset. Rightfully so. It sucks losing a beloved member of your organization to your bitter rival.
Little did I know. There were comments saying they hope he breaks his legs into pieces and some saying that they hope he breaks his neck. These aren’t actually all that shocking. People are stupid. Especially on the internet.
But one comment in particular stuck with me.
“i am going to kill your first born child.”
Let’s take a step back here and try to evaluate this persons thought process leading up to these events.
He’s probably sitting at home. Maybe he’s watching ESPN, or listening to WFAN in New York, or maybe he’s on Facebook or Twitter. Suddenly he see’s that Steve Smith has signed with the Philadelphia Eagles.
So what is the first thing he does? What is the first thing that comes to this persons mind? Go to Mr. Smith’s Facebook page and threaten to kill his first born child.
Can you imagine being SO upset about a player on your team signing with your rival, that you would go on his Facebook Fan page and threaten his first born child? I’m a Penguins fan, and yeah, Jagr and Talbot going to the Flyers sucked. But I got over it in like two seconds. Maybe I’m just a rational human being. I don’t know.
Clearly this person doesn’t know that making such threats is illegal. Hopefully he gets a surprise visit from the police telling him to cut that shit out.
It’s football people.
Plus, the Giants suck anyway.
Fly Eagles Fly
Wow.
What a weekend to be an Eagles fan.
Nnamdi Asomugha. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Cullen Jenkins. Jason Babin. Man.
Cowboys and Giants fans will tell you that these moves don’t mean much. Building your team via free agency (which the Eagles aren’t doing) isn’t the way to go about things. It’s doomed to fail.
They’re all in denial.
Are the Eagles now the team to beat in the NFC as some are saying? No. The Packers still have Aaron Rodgers and that steroid freak Clay Matthews, not to mention a plethora of great young Wide Receivers. They’re still the gold standard at the moment. But are the Eagles close behind them?
You bet your ass they are.
With the moves the Eagles have made in the last few days, anything less than a Super Bowl is a failure.
So here are my thoughts on what has transpired thus far concerning the Eagles:
So how far can this Eagles team go? I’d be lying if I didn’t say they had potential to win the Super Bowl, but I also know better than to say these free agent signings put them over the top. Nnamdi, DRC, Jenkins, and Babin are nice, but this team will only go as far as Vick takes them. Near the end of the year, Vick struggled. Part of that was due to offensive line play (something that probably improves with Jamaal Jackson returning), but there were times when he made some bad mistakes. If he continues his progression as a true QB, he can lead the Eagles to the promised land. Obviously the linebackers are a huge concern, as are the health of guys like Cullen Jenkins.
It’s going to be a fun year though.
Fly Eagles Fly.
someone posted this on twitter and I felt the need to repost here
I don’t care you if hate football.
I dare you to pretend this isn’t awesome.

words cant explain the feeling I get when I see this.
this is the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life
lol thanks to the eagles the packers were able to get into the playoffs as 8th seed cause the giants lost. it was amazing to see that but they ended up losing in the 1st round so when i hear dramatic and inspiring music put to this, i kinda just laugh. idk why but i just do.
The Miracle in the New Meadowlands.
