Wow. The Eagles, or Pheebles, as we like to call them here in the basement, have put together one of the most impressive swan dives in recent history. The Pennsylvania Highway Patrol had to scrape them off the road after a life in the fast lane collision with a semi tractor trailer hauling 48 caged Panthers on their way to a circus. Is that Bill Clinton working as a cop, now?
Anyway, welcome to the Doormat Division Philly! We have stocked up on frozen cheese steaks in your honor and the beer, though flat, is actually cold today thanks to a replacement refrigerator we picked up at a yard sale this week. It's a frosty 42 in there now. The old one was humping along at about 62 degrees. Not so good for the bean dip. It was kinda pink, but it tasted OK. What did Oscar Madison say? "It's either very new cheese or very old meat."
Y'know, it's kinda a trend like if ya think about it. Ever since Donovan (Hurdy Gurgy Man) McNabb came to Philly the pundits have predicted a Philly Super Bowl almost every year. Why do they do that? Why do they pick the Eagles to go to the big game every stinking year? How many times have we seen them do a swan dive now? In the last four years, at least four times. They may not be the worst team ever, but they have to be the most underperforming franchise in history.
And speaking of meat, let's get to the grisly, fatty, flabby truth here and take a big bite out of this weeks spinning, frozen turkey.

Gentlemen, make your predictions!
Wow, some real corkers this week. Panthers- Cheaps is the game of the week, but Cardinals-Jets not far behind. Jaguars-Buffalo also Doormat Class ball. Brownies-Raiders WHOA. Brownies could win 2 in a row...if the Raiders turn it over 7 times, which is not out of the question.
ReplyDeleteSaints still have Falcons number.
ReplyDeleteLambs will be slaughterted by Niners.

Brownies could win two in a row and Pansies are poised to make it 3-in-a-row. Yow.
ReplyDeleteHey, Eggchair, I hope you are right. Would love to see Washington tank the Giants. They looked very good on Thanksgiving Day. That new quarterback, whatshisname III plays exciting football. And I hope NO beats Atlanta as you predict.
Hey, Wacko, Brownies vs Raydurzz might be horrendous. Gotta watch it!
ReplyDeleteyep, that's gonna be must-see TV in the Basement. Raydurz are just in tatters.
ReplyDeleteAmazingly, I went 6-1 last week, as I'm usually bad at these unless there's money on it.

I cannot believe I picked the Saints. I really honestly have to go over this twice. I thought I'd picked the Falcons. I'm hopeless.
ReplyDeletethat's supposed to say Falcons 31. geez. arrghhhh
ReplyDeleteWow, the PHeebles really did find a way to lose last night. Amazing, just amazing. And how about those Rams? Copernicus, or whatever the new QB guy in SF is, looks like a future great player, but right now they need to get to the Super Bowl, or even the NFC Conference game. I say put smith back in there. But, now that Harbaugh has juggled them around like this, any change will create a sense of chaos and indecision in SF resulting in a crash landing in the playoffs...if they get there. What will SF do?
ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of doing, boy, did Indy do Detroit there at the end. Is this some kind of record for high scoring games lost in the last minute by Detroit? This season deserves a documentary film. Maybe we can get Ken Burns to do it. Lots of whimsical black and white shots of decaying Detroit with that nice soft-voice narrator and the violin playing and the sounds of factory machinery clanging away while we watch footage of Detroit finding a way to lose every week...
The Loins are a potential Moldy Carpet finalist.
