Wow. The network bobbleheads were actually bobbleheads. Mike Irvin was vigorously shaking his head no to whether the Eagles were a playoff team, Ron Jaworski equally vigorously nodding yes.

Congrats to Ryan Howard. Let's see what we can get for Thome.

Birds fans, I think this is our 1979. T.O. was not our Pete Rose. I still think they need a Pete Rose, but I don't know who it is. I maintain that it should be a running back.

I agree - woo-hoo, good for him!!!


As for the Eagles, I'm trying to be optimistic. Trying.

You're from New Jersey, aren't you?

Since you're from Jersey, the solution is simple: there is an NFC East team that plays in your home state that is doing quite well right now - 6-2 and leading the division, I believe. Why look across the Delaware?

I scowl at you sir, scowl.

I'd rather look across the Delaware than into a swamp. And remember, any team with Jersey in the name is inferior to a team with Philadelphia in the name. This includes Jersey A.

Two more wins this season, two more Super Bowl wins, and about a dozen more NFL Championship Game appearances is a... curious... definition of "inferior".

What's the significance of 1979?

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

From '76-'78, the Phillies won the NL East, but didn't get to the world series. In '80, they won the series. In '79, they didn't make the playoffs. I'm not saying that the Eagles won't make the playoffs, but this may be a year when they don't go as far as in previous years (the next two weeks will be telling).
