Amazing what never winning a Super Bowl does to a franchise.

:popcorn:

:wow:

[madinmaryland]

1. Just needed to add this...

:rofl:

[Auggie]

25. LOL

Brilliant

[NNadir]

2. Phillies, um, going to the dogs...

...they may have bit off more than they can chew...but if you ask me why, well I'd have to bite...

...well enough jawboning, this story will have some teeth and set the fur flying I'm sure.

They're going to be dogged by this for sure.

This must be why the city is located in a Penn.

I have a knawing suspicion this is going to turn out bad and that they're barking up the wrong tree.

...if they can just get TO back, they'd be in um, interesting, shape, probably better shape than Donovan McNabb...I guess they'll just have a shot of the hair of the dog that bit them.

[charlie and algernon]

3. heh, McNabb must LOVE that

:rofl:

Kolb gets hurt and the Eagles go insane. Sure shows what confidence, or lack thereof, they have in McNabb

[madinmaryland]

4. Heh! Every road game the Eaglets have to play will make the Vet

look like a kindergarten room at nap time!

[charlie and algernon]

7. hell, PHILLY fans have never been shy to boo their own

The Linc will be an interesting place this season.

[mvd]

5. I'm ashamed to be an Eagles fan right now

x(

[madinmaryland]

6. As a Cowboys fan, at least I know the Eaglets fans can't joke about

the Cowboys signing of players with arrests the last couple of years!

:D

8. The Eagles are dead to me now.

I just informed my husband, who's a huge Eagles fan. He doesn't quite believe it.

[Aristus]

9. Hide your dogs, Philadelphia!

Michael Vick is coming to town!

[mix]

10. A good match.

[Twillig]

11. "Amazing what never winning a Super Bowl does to a franchise."

As a Vikings fan, I cannot gainsay your words.

"We" are still not clear of the RMS Favre-tanic.
Start the season now, please.

[madinmaryland]

12. Vikings and Bills. Four failures each. BTW....

:evilgrin:

:hi:

[Twillig]

16. BTW, I fucking know. AND if the Cowboys hadn't cheated to win

that NFC championship game, it would have five losses for the Vikings.

Thank you very much, you're welcome to a super bowl loss on us.

[lost-in-nj]

13. MIM old news

I knew this at 8am this morning by watching ESPN


so a Super Bowl is out of the question
to many ref calls...

lost


GO GIANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

( cough) sorry

[madinmaryland]

14. Amazing that it took nearly 12 hours to break, after it broke in Jersey.

I would have thought it would have been commented about on CNN/SI, ESPN, or the Sports forum at some point during the day. Seems a bit odd to me, that something like that in a state like NJ, that news would not have gone viral.

Oh well.

How you been, Gorn?

[lost-in-nj]

17. missing

the "old days"

how are you???

lost/gorn

[sasquatch]

15. I wonder what position he's going to play

[KG]

18. Left Out

[sasquatch]

19. Sounds like a plan

[flvegan]

20. Tackling dummy.

[TZ]

21. Heh.

:thumbsup:

[MilesColtrane]

22. Instead of 44-6, it's now 6-8.

(That's the number of dogs Vick was estimated to have killed)

[Zavulon]

23. Philly did all of us a big favor.

Just imagine the endless accusations of collusion and racism that would be flying around if nobody signed him.

[Dogtown]

24. Shameful

They should change their name to "The Philadelphia Pit-bulls".

[LanternWaste]

26. Sunday's won't be the same this fall.... :(

Doggonit... my convictions tell me I now have to begin a boycott of all things NFL. Which sucks. It really, really sucks. It sucks oil and sludge through a razor-filled straw.

I won't lay the responsibility on the Philly franchise alone-- the lion's share goes to the commissioner for reinstating the schmuck.

Sunday's won't be the same this fall.... :(
