Bored Yet! So we are now feeling the results of the Phillies playoff run and have nothing to watch. Remember years before in October we got use to the Sunday football, and at least two hockey games a week. Now since the Phillies dominated October, here in November we are lossing our minds. With the Flyers having four days off, and the Eagles sucking we have nothing else to talk about. Who would have thought that the Eagles not knowing if there is a tie or not still be in the news? Sadly it is and I can't stand it. Just hang in there for two more days and FLyers play again on Friday. We will get through this.

And we are heading into a tie?
Now I have seen a tie football game before but I have never seen it end in a tie. I guess when the worst goes against the worst you get a really weird result. Sadly enough the Eagles have not lost but didn’t win another game. Today’s game to me signifies everything that is wrong with this team. When you can not beat a team that has the worst record in the NFL and you are stuck just sitting on the sidelines asking yourselves what the hell is going on. The Eagles just simply didn’t come out playing today, no heart, and nor confidence.
Goofs
Donovan McNabb
Andy Reid
Jeffrey Lurie
Pros
None that I can see.
Goofs: McNabb has been the quarterback of this team since I was in high school and I think its time to realize that he is not a championship quarterback. McNabb only can get us to the playoffs and that’s it. He is a professional choke artist and simply enough doesn’t know how to keep down his own lunch when in stressful situation. McNabb throws us due to stress; I throw up every time I see him play. Andy Reid has the same problem to stuck in on speed and gear that we can’t make it any further. It is sad that we continue to see the fat ass with his menu on the sidelines not keeping an eye on the clock but rather eye on the food stands. Get rid of them both and you will get a championship. As for management the failure is all Mr. Lurie the chairman of the Eagles Organization. He has a lot of power and control in what happens to these people and does nothing. Time to leave your precious sky box and join the fans of this city or be forcible removed.
Sadly this season seems to be slipping farther and farther away with playoff spot in sight. On the Eagles website a poll that 8,000 people already voted on overwhelmingly say this team needs to be shaken up. So let’s go Flyers and put this crazy season of Eagles behind us. By the way really fan on Philly isn’t wearing green, they are still wearing RED.

Time Out!
With the Eagle season now in doubt the Flyers are the only team that can carry Philadelphia into another championship. Have you stopped laughing yet? Ok before you pee yourself. The Flyers just seem not to care or sadly admit that they SUCK. NHL hasn’t been the same since the lockout and it looks like hockey is being replaced faster then ever before. When I was a kid you always heard about the Flyers and them being a contender. Even in 1993 the Phillies only gained a little respect and then quickly lost it when they lost. Has the city of Philadelphia turned entirely red and will soon move very far away from the Green and Orange? I hope so because this is just a shame. Tonight’s game against the Penguins was good, but again a lost. A lost in our own division will be very hard to overcome in March when the Flyers are trying to make it to the post season. On a sad note this seems to be an ongoing trend for the Philadelphia and I was hoping the Phillies shattered it all together but we are returning to this complete downward spiral. Flyers and Eagles SUCK!

It gets not better then Philly!
It will be a parade that we will never forget. Either it was the crowded streets, the emotion from the stadium, or the words used by the Philly Players that will always stand out. Never before have I seen such emotion, and relief in the face of so many people. I am proud to be a Philadelphia fan today and rightfully so. Already talks about free agents and who is expected to win next year has taken over the radio waves. But for Philly they had yesterday to enjoy the moment, and it was a moment that will never be short lived.
The Flyers won their last game of the month of October and salvaging the month with a better win/loss record. The hero from that game was that of Jeff Carter who seems to be on fire lately. Flyers are in a better place now then they were at the start of this season. On Sunday the Flyers will take on the Oilers in their first game of the month of November. This is a team that is exactly tied with the same amount of points as both teams look for an edge. Hopefully the Flyers take some luck from the Phillies and come up big against the Oilers.
The Eagles are west tomorrow taking on Seattle where ever win is important. Dallas will be taking on the Giants a game which many fans hope both teams lose, but really hoping Dallas actually wins it. Many fans are calling on the Eagles to win a championship as the pressure shifts towards Seattle as Eagles have all eyes on them. Can the Eagles continue their road to the postseason and have some Philly magic also. Only time will tell. Until then it’s going to be a great Sunday, so enjoy Philly.

PHINALLY!
Every Phillies fan from the past and present can finally say we are the champions. I remember game 1 in my dorm room with my rally rag from the year before and how we cheered them on throughout everything, only to be rewarded with the greatest prize in baseball. Tonight is a night where I saw grown men cry and Philadelphia take to the streets. Tonight is a night where I saw all those Phillies fans that came before us take their final bow and say “it is your time.” From the call from Harry Kalas to the fireworks the city of champions has returned.
Pros
World Series Champions the Philadelphia Phillies
American League Champions Tampa Bay Rays
Goofs
Priceless
Pros: For the Rays this is a season where they can build a dynasty off of, and look toward the future. This is a team none for its tough attitude and its fighting spirit, and that kind of play will one day win them the greatest championship in baseball but not tonight. The Rays brought everything they had to the table but unfornatntley wasn’t enough. Philadelphia Phillies are the World Champions and that my friend explains it all. Either it was the Jamie Moyer show dominating this season on the mound, or the big come back in NY when the Phillies stumped the Mets, or when it was Shane Victorino hitting a grand slam off of CC Sabathia I don’t know exactly what it was but here they are champions of baseball.
Goofs: Good baseball does not have any goofs!
The Phillies this season took us away from the real world. Putting all are worries to the side and cheering for a victory that many feel it was personal. No matter what you’re economic problems are, or the job you have that you may hate, tonight all are negativity all our problems didn’t matter for two hours. Tonight there was more things that united us, rather then divided us. A city that finally has come home and a championship that will forever be bidding memory. My friends I have seen many games, and I have always wanted to be part of the good old days my father talks about, finally I am. Thank You Phillies!
