Once is not enough

Having just attended the first of two Eagles open practices, I find that I'm left wanting more. The first practice was cool but not as awe inspiring as in previous years. Am I becoming jaded to the Rock music ballet that Chip Kelly runs? Or am I distracted by the revolving door of Eagles players coming and going. Here come those doubts again, rushing in crowing out my thoughts of Championships and Super Bowls. No amount of rock music can cover up the play or lack of it on the field. And it's starts up front with the offense line. Can the backs-up step up, will a returning former player have his act together? Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts and minds of football players, the Chipper knows! That's how I'm going to deal the the doubting demons. I just push them way in the back of my mind and repeat "The Chipper knows, The Chipper knows" over and over till the last pre season game is over and they take the field for real. No matter what happens I'll be their for every game good, bad, ugly. How about you, will I see you in the parking lot?
