Deal or No Deal

As I count down the days to the Eagles home opener on Sept 16, I think about how much it's going to cost me for the year. I'm lucky to be able to buy tickets from my buddy Bobby Cavanaugh for face value vs what others sell them for. A quick check of the ticket sites shows that tickets in my section for the home opener where going for between $105 - $179 and $79 for a SRO. I got a deal! Then there is the parking. Parking in the lots next to the stadium is $54-$59 bucks. Parking across the street at Jetro is about $25. Another deal! Food & drinks are hard to calculate because everyone is different. Some people don't arrive until 1/2 before the game with that puzzled look on their face, Like where do I park? Not sure why these jerks even both to show. There is no way to park the car, walk to the stadium and get thru the gauntlet of pad down artists in a 1/2 hour! Some people like to make a day of it and arrive early set up their grill, and play in the parking lot, my kind of people. They could be eating hot dogs, they could be eating burgers, or ribs, or they could be eating filet mignon steak sandwiches with a shrimp, musses and clam salad if they eat at Cav's. The cost of parking in Jetro and getting all you can eat and drink at Cav's is about the same as just parking next to the stadium! Now that's a deal that I can live with for the entire year! Don't overpay eat at Cav's and I'll see you in the parking lot!"

Crazy is as Crazy Does

What the hell was Andy thinking! Didn't the last three games teach him anything about a balanced attack? Wasn't it windy enough? Wasn't the receiving corps depleted enough? Wasn't Westbrook healthy enough. What the hell was he thinking? Who gos to the 5 & 10 store when your shopping for a playoff berth? It's just crazy. Here's how Webster defines crazy:full of cracks or flaws: Unsound; also crooked, askew- sound familiar. I know I fit this second part of the definition: Mad (I'm mad as hell about the loss) Insane (why do I yell he's open to the TV), Impractical (I keep buying Eagles gear which I won't wear when they lose), Distracted with desire or excitement (I can't wait for the next game, what a homer). And to think I was feeling bad about creating a Holiday sweatshirt to show my feelings "Ho Ho Ho Andy must Go" embellished with holiday graphics.

Maybe I should include my feelings about Marty Mornhinweg on the back of the shirt. Mmmm something like "Marty Mornhinweg - Crazy is as Crazy does." Or "Prevent Marty in 2009." If I could only rime Mornhiweg. Hey help me out. Send me your best slogan about Marty so I can add it to the back of the shirt.
