PHI 23, NYG 11

What can I say?

I was hoping this wouldn’t be my last Eagles blog for the season. And my boys did not let me down. We are exactly where the Giants were last year. 1 win away from the big one. Wow!

Being from Jersey, I know tons of Giants fans, but yesterday and today weren’t nearly as fun as I’d hoped. I had planned to talk lots of smack, but nearly everyone was super gracious. I actually had several Giants fans e-mail and text “Congratulations.” I know, right?… I didn’t realize my friends and family were such good sports … That’s no fun.

My friend Kenny (below) was not one of the people who called with congrats. He was pretty bitter. This is what Kenny wore thru most of the game.

But with about 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter he took off his jersey and switched into a Georgetown Basketball t-shirt. Some fan…After the game was over, he tried to kick me out of his house.

This is me trying to hold my ground.

You’ll notice that I don’t have my Eagles gear on, but that’s because I need to do laundry. I still wanted to feel like I was suited up so I grabbed the only other green and white t-shirt I have. Not exactly NFL apparel but it did the job ;) … And of course I had on my dog tags.

I am so gassed about next week! Bring on them Cardinals!!!

Record: Headed to the NFC Championship Game

I love you John McBride…

for sending me this… This is better than USA for Africa…

Things I want to make sure you saw:

  • Jerome Brown getting his official boogie on.
  • The ‘sound engineer’ with the Aaron Neville cut off shirt
  • Luis Zendejas’ rap at the 1:03 mark. It’s the best verse ever spit on wax — he is the undisputed G.O.A.T.
  • Randall Cunningham’s Flava-Flav “yeah boy-eee” at the 1:16 mark
  • The ‘cabbage patch’ dance break at the 1:25 mark during Reggie White’s verse:

Reggie White, Defensive End
Hit quarterbacks like they committed a sin
Like a good minister when I’m thru
I help them up and say God bless you

This is way too hilarious!

R.I.P. to Jerome Brown and Reggie White. Legends. Truly.

One Snuggie coming right up a.k.a. Jenny I guess you get to keep both of yours

So BFF DWJ took it upon herself to make me the best four-days-after-Christmas gift EVER! She’s recently taken up sewing and has created some awesome pieces. A really cool purse I wanna steal and a super duper cute skirt… but this is by far my fave. She read this post about stuff I almost bought off late night infomercials and decided to combine it with my one true love and create me a homemade Snuggie out of Philadelphia Eagles fleece.

Thank goodness she didn’t try and sew me an Eagles body shaper!

I may not be able to claim ownership of my Snuggie until tomorrow evening, but please believe it will be my new favorite thing. Please notice that the logos are upside down. I think this adds 100% more charm to it. I heart her and my new fave blanket. Here is her preview:

Stay tuned for photos of me in the Snuggie… Right on time for Wild Card weekend!!!

HILARIOUS!

PHI 44, DAL 6

Woooooo to the you-know-what-ing-Hoooooooo!!!!

I can’t believe what happened today really happened. Did Oakland really beat Tampa Bay? And then Chicago lost? And then did we totally and completely obliterate the Cowboys? As I was watching I was literally thinking, “I must be dreaming.”

But it was almost a disaster.

I was working in VA Beach this weekend so I watched the Giants game at the comics condo. All throughout the game the announcers kept talking about the implications of Oakland/TB and Houston/CHI, and previewing the Eagles/Cowboys game… But come 4:15, for some reason they’re showing Redskins/San Francisco. As if:

  • the last NFC playoff spot isn’t being decided at that very moment
  • this game has any playoff implications
  • anyone interested in NFC football would rather watch this game than Philly/Dallas

Come on, FOX! Regional coverage? On a day like today? Get it together! My show began at 7 and when the second game started I was nowhere near ready to roll out for the evening. But when I saw Clinton Portis on my screen instead of Brian Westbrook, I hopped myself in the shower packed my stuff, took out the garbage and used my nifty new GPS to find the sports bar the club manager suggested. No way was I gonna miss this game. I rolled into the place and it was full of Eagles fans all decked out. It was heaven. At that point we were up 10-3 and it only got better ;)

What occurred next looked like what you might imagine would happen if an NFL team played a Pop Warner squad. At 44-3 I had to leave for my show. I felt pretty sure we wouldn’t blow that lead ;) But just in case anything crazy happened, there was a nice table of Philly fans who took my cell number and promised to text me if/when anything significant happened. Nothing did and they just texted me when the game was over.

Now we’ve got a clean slate. Playoffs here we come!!! Bring on those Vikings. I am so gassed!

Record: 9-6-1

PHI 3, WAS 10

So… I was able to score tickets to tonite’s Eagles/Redskins game at FedEx. I just happen to know a disillusioned Skins season ticket holder who’d had enough after the Cincinatti loss. Thanks so much Alvin!!! Even though their playoff chances are slim, I bet he wishes he’d come tonite.

I went to the game with my “Sports & Home Repairs Boyfriend” Kenny. Since I don’t have a boyfriend of my own to fix things in my condo and go to sporting events with, I sometimes borrow my friends’ husbands… Kenny is a Giants fan. It would never have worked between us anyway ;)

I tell you one thing I’ve learned recently after having such great seats at the Eagles/Falcons and Lakers/Bucs games: I’m waaaay too out of shape not to be rich. We were running late this afternoon. In fact Kenny had to drop me off and then park so I wouldn’t miss kickoff. So I was kinda run/walking up the ramp… Do you have any idea how long and steep the walk up to the 400 section is? I’d much rather get into an arena and walk DOWN to my floor seats. I’m just saying. I can’t wait to make it big ;)

The photo below was taken early in the game while I was still optimistic about the outcome.  You can tell because the sun is still out… And the finger I have up is my thumb. Continue reading →
