First, let me start by making the following disclaimers:

  1. The Eagles are not a very good football team
  2. The Eagles are not a playoff team as of the moment
  3. I doubt that the Eagles even COULD make the playoffs
  4. Donovan McNabb is having his most inconsistent season as an Eagle
  5. The Eagles have had terrible special teams play all season

We were forced to endure a frustrating painful pathetic exciting game against the Washington Redskins yesterday. The very overrated 5-3 Washington Redskins squared off against a very under achieving Eagles team in a game that will never be included in the archives of the NFL’s greatest games.

  • In the words of Jen: “yum-yum”; we love breakfast buffets; now we’re off to the Smithsonians. Dinosaurs and space ships are on John’s itinerary!
  • Bon Jovi tickets are mine; got them for 1/4 of the original “tweeted” price; behind the stage but I’ll take them!
  • Wow! Flyers win another against the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-2; a very encouraging sign after a very bad loss to the Devils on Thursday night!
  • The Big Cat is finally installed and on the PROWL!

As Eric Lindros announces his retirement today in London, Ontario – I find myself reflecting on what was an intensely exhilarating, frustrating and controversial 8 years as a Philadelphia Flyer. From the moment that Larry Bertuzzi awarded the “Next One” to the Flyers in a bizarre arbitration case, the hopes of an entire city starved for another Stanley Cup were placed on the broad shoulders of the man-child from Canada. Short of winning a Stanley Cup (which of course he never did), there was almost no chance that he was going to fulfill the gargantuan expectations that befell him. What he did give us however was a story almost as epic as many of the great Greek tragedies.
