I have been inputting my orders for the campaign game first turn since July 4, 2009. I'm getting close. In another month or two, I might be able to run the turn!

Your 'boys only won because I turned on the game in the 4th Q. Whenever I watch a game, my team loses [8|]. That's why I didn't watch today.

I turned on your game with Seattle up 14-10. Blam! 34 yard pass to Cooper, followed shortly by touchdown. 17-14 Dallas. I changed the channel. A few minutes later I changed back. Prescott had just thrown an INT. No matter; Dallas got the ball back and scored to make it 24-14. I turned it off, but the damage was done. [:@]

Next week I won't watch at all.

That is soooo not happening...

I grew up watching the Eagles and Phillies lose. It wasn't until I was 17 that one of them had a winning record. (With only 1 exception).

Good luck vs LA. They can be had.
The Eagles have no chance vs the Saints because they have 3 backup cornerbacks starting. None of them are as good as the 3 they had last season. [:(]

Why didn't you become a Flyers fan then? They've been pretty good for a while at least?

I can't believe that I'm going to say something positive about the Eagles. Please don't make me...ugh. Fine. Here it is: The Eagles have pluck and really good tenacious D. The Saints CAN be had-we did it to 'em (as Philly did to the Rams in week 15). Cowboys-Eagles NFC Championship in Jerry World? I'd have to go personally.

Hockey was small time until 1974 when the Flyers won the Cup.

Thank you, but I really don't see the Eagles winning without an Act of God (or the officials, which is the same thing).
The Eagle linebackers aren't as athletic as the Cowboy ones. The corners will either get beat deep or beat underneath.
They did sign a corner off of the Saints practice squad; maybe he can give them some insight. [8|]

In Philly, the absolute worst thing in the world is to lose to Dallas. Nothing else comes close. Nothing. People gasped when the Eagles drafted a tight end whose first name is 'Dallas'. This goes back to Tom Landry's 'America's Team' thing.

Oh, I know. I know.

I did my residency and then stayed on the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania (New Bolton Center). Was out there for 5 years. All the time as a thoroughly vilified member of the Cowboys faithful. About the worst place I could be: an hour and a half North of D.C., 30 minutes from Philly and about an hour and a half from NY. Still, I got through it in one piece and kept the faith.

I still call some friends of mine in Philly whenever the Cowboys beat 'em (like we did twice this year BTW [:'(]). They usually don't answer. [:D]

Philly fans are the worst. No offense, it's just they're a boorish, rude and crude bunch like no other. Only stadium in the league with a judge and pokey in the stadium itself to corral the rowdies. Only stadium crowd that booed Santa and threw battery-infused snowballs at him. For the most part, they don't deserve the hard work, dedication and sacrifice of their team. Nothing personal, mind you-but they're pigs. At least the ones I've seen at the games I attended.

I've never been to an Eagles game, but people say the fans here aren't as bad as in NY. Dallas fans do seem less rowdy than both.
I wonder if Jimmy Johnson has forgiven us for the snowballs yet.

I dunno. I have never been to Philly, but going into The Black Hole wearing Broncos orange is akin to wearing the Star of David in Mecca [X(] Those Raiders fans are...something else.
