I understand a few of you are Eagle fans. Well, they came into town this weekend to play my boys, the 2003 Superbowl champs (who have only won 1 game this year). Chick was, of course, harassing me all week about how big of a blowout it was going to be. 42-0 was his prediction and when I asked for a little respect he said "ok. 42-3."
There's no doubt the birds are a better team this year but there's always room for an upset. I drove to Mom and Pop's to watch the game thinking Chick would be there since he lives next door. Do you know what he did instead? He went to Disney to, get this, watch a golf tournament??!! He wouldn't even dignify my Bucs by watching the game! NO RESPECT (not that they deserve any this year). Well, it came back to bite him in the a$$.
The temperature on the field was close to 105 (I told you it was still hot here). I had my phone close to text message the man. Message 1: Bucs lead 7-0. Message 2: Bucs lead 14-0, McNabb 3 interceptions, 1 fumble.
Chick's reply: quiet as a church mouse. Finally got a response: Oh nooooo... I'm coming home
I had to leave after the 3rd quarter but Pop said as soon as Chick pulled up he barely had time to shut the car off as he ran into the house. That was when the Eagles scored the go ahead touchdown that was surely the game winner. That was until there were 3 seconds left and, well I'll let our kicker take it from here with a little help from our Mexican announcer:
"You know what was funny," Bryant said, "as I was lining up to kick it, Bidwell (placeholder) turns around and says, 'Man, just have fun.' And that's what I did."
62-yard field goal -- the third-longest in NFL history!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! Bucs pull the upset!
Last text message to the Eagles greatest fan:
Blessed are the meek for they shall win football games (well, 2 anyway)
But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like... well... never mind.
If ya can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen (before you throw up)

AMAZING !!!! A team wins it's second game of the year and that makes their year. This team is so bad that even Mickey and Minnie were at The Funai Classic Golf Tournament. I guess it a big deal when the Eagles lose a game....or is it a bigger surprise when the Yuc's win one game. Things taht make you go hmmmmmmm.
