Whoa, a rematch? [checks NFL.com...] Yup, looks like the Iggles are back in the Super Bowl vs. the Pats again.
Can't reasonably say they're "my team" anymore since they got rid of McNabb, Owens, Westbrook, Andy Reid... heck, even Duce Staley (Duuuuce!). And B. Dawk! Baddest ass free safety of all time. I think most/all those guys are probably retired now. Been a long time since I watched sports.
Don't even know who's on the Eagles anymore. Probably just Jon Runyan, he was like the only guy they never got rid of (edit:
just looked him up... looks like he retired, then was actually in the U.S. House of Representatives for four years. And now he's a VP with the NFL. What an interesting career path).
(edit 2:
In a Sports Illustrated magazine in October 2006, Runyan was ranked second on a list of the Dirtiest Players in the NFL.[12] Bills linebacker Shawne Merriman stated that Runyan "was one of the dirtiest players I've ever been against in my whole entire life. He was real good at being dirty". lol...)
Anyway, hopefully whoever their quarterback is doesn't get sick and start puking up Campbell's chunky soup like McNabb did the first time around. That was a major bummer in XXXIX...
McNabb's out of the league, Brady's still cleaning up. I always liked McNabb... hard not to root for Brady at least a little bit though. Always rooted for the Patriots whenever it was anybody other than the Eagles they were playing. Gotta respect the opponent that beats you fair and square.
...
Looks like McNabb retired as an Eagle. That's nice.
Then got fired from ESPN due to sexual harassment allegations. Kind of a weird one, like Tiger Woods (wholesome public image, followed by sexual allegations. Weird when you see those disconnects between public and private).
