2 Down 14 to Go

Ok so we're 50/50 not great not bad. I see some light at the end of the offensive line tunnel. I just can't wait till the end of the year for them to gel. This Sunday is going to be the best weather  day of the week and I can't wait to get to my first tailgate of the year. I see Cav added an option to buy tailgate tickets in advance, smart move. Check it out Tailgate Party Pass. Any way with Vick out we get to see another QB which should make for an interesting day. Hope to see you in the parking lot.

Another Great Weekend of Fun

Started this weekend off early by going to the Eagles Pre-season game. Can't believe they wanted $25 to park for preseason games, when the Phillie's parking is $15-20. Boy do they rip off Eagles fans. Was a little late and missed the kick-off but was there in time for birds 1st touchdown, Whoo Hooo. The speaker in my section wasn't working so it was hard to hear the calls and of course I forgot the radio. Oh well had a great time any way. The weekend continued Saturday at a tailgate Fundraiser for the Fritz family. They recently lost their dad to a drunk driver. How sad is that! Met some some old friends and made some new ones. They had two bands. Michael LaComp and AJ Slick. If you get a chance to see AJ Slick, check them out they were awesome. A great showing of love and support for the Fritz family. We wish them well.

Is There Magic In Ron Mexico?

There's a lot of talk about the new "Dream Team" AKA Da Eagles. A lot of it has to do with the supposed reason that free agents are coming to Philly is to play with Mike Vick. Is the chance to play with a convicted felon that much of a draw? I guess I'm now in touch with the pro-athlete mindset. I actual more excited t see what Vince Young's got. He's from the same mold as Vick. Talented athlete lacking the discipline to do what it takes to be great. I can't wait to see what Andy's rehab clinic can do with this latest QB acquisition. This team is either going to be the "Dream Team" or our Worst Nightmare if they don't get the "O" line fixed. Maybe Andy knows that his QBs need to be good runners because they are going to be running away from defenses when there is no blocking up front. We saw last year  that even the magic of Mick Vick couldn't  make defenders disappear and what happens when the catch the QB. My crystal ball is cloudy right now so I'll take a look later. Hope to see you in the parking lot.

Yes Virginia there will be Football

OK so they settled and it's off to the free agent races. One problem the Eagles seemed to has missed the starting gate. The long talked about Kevin Kolb trade is still not done. It's kind of like a game of musical chairs and the Eagles are looking like they might lose there catbird seat. Ok I still think Kolb is going to AZ but I don't think we're getting as much as was talked about during the lock-out. As other QB's come off the board it limits where he can go and starts to bring his compensation down. At this point you would be lucky to get a 2nd rounder in return. Gone are the dreams of a 1st rounded plus a starter for this year. Oh Well I'm still dusting off my tailgating gear. After all I'm a homer and will go to the games no matter what. I just hate waiting till the 3rd game of the season to see them live. Till then I'll see you in the parking lot.

We Got Him

We Got Him or If you Mess with the Best You Die like the Rest

My own tribute to America's Special Forces. The Best there is, the Best there was, The best there will ever be!

Derby Day

Wow what an awesome weekend. The weather was great and at least the Phils won the game I went to. It was the 137 running of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday . I didn't do so well with my picks this year and after it was over I couldn't help but wonder why I didn't pick the Trifecta. I mean all the signs were there I just couldn't see them. First, Animal Kingdom, I love animals and often refer to myself as "King of the Forest." Nehro, one of my nick names is Gato Nero ( Black Cat in Italian.) and Mucho Macho Man, I was "Macho Man" at a Halloween party once!  Oh well better luck next year. Anywho, I also had a great time before the Phillie's game at Cav's Tailgate Party. As always the food was great and the crowd friendly. If you were there you can check out the pictures Cav's Tailgate Party.  Hope to see you at the next one.

They Are Who We Thought They Were

The wind was howling as the crowd huddled under the huge tent buzzing with activity. Not a negative word was spoken about the Birds chance that day. In the end the faithful fans hopes were crushed again. What did we expect. A win of course! We expect to defy the odds, spit into the wind, erase past history and cleanse our souls of the demons of past playoffs lost. Life truly is a circle. It's just that the ends don't always match up the way we want. The season began with a loss to the Packers and ended with a loss to the Packers, how fitting.

As the weekend approaches I find myself not really caring about any of the teams or the outcomes. It's no fun to watch without my Eagles. I tend to forget how cautious I was in the beginning of the season with so many new and untested players. I was one of the first to jump on the bandwagon when they started winning, and I rode it till the wheels fell off. In the end they turned out to be what we thought, young, dumb and full of inexperience. So as I gaze into the future I can't help feel like Charlie Brown and hope that Lucy takes a vacation next year.
Till then, I hope to see you in the parking lot soon.

Wildcard Weekend

Man what a tough road the birds have to travel. The Packers pose a big hurdle that the Eagles will have to clear if they want to be in Dallas this Feb. I can only hope the Packers "Thor" leaves his hammer back in Green Bay. Because of injuries both teams are not the same teams that met earlier in the season. I can only hope that the Eagles are not who we thought they were earlier in the year. No matter what I'll be there to see in up-close and in person. Will will you be watching from? Love to hear what you think our chances are. That's all  for now and I'll see you in the parking lot.
