E-A-G-L-E-S!

So the 5-6 Eagles ran the table, finishing 10-6, and winning the NFC East. I am still a little shocked at this turn of events. But I guess that's why they play the games.

Now with a home playoff game this weekend against the eminently-beatable N.Y. Giants, and a playoff bracket that could include winnable road games in New Orleans and Chicago (2 overrated teams), the streaking Iggles have as good a shot as any NFC playoff team to play in the Super Bowl. Perhaps even in a rematch against Thomas Brady and the Patriots of New England. Yikes!

I would have liked to have watched what turned out to be a battle of the Eagles' B team and the Atlanta Falcons, but the FOX Overlords opted to televise a game not involving quite as many birds. Fuckers.

This was a bit disconcerting as I drove at 85 MPH for about 50 miles to not watch the NFC East Champion Philadelphia Eagles. Even at 85 MPH in a 55 MPH zone, I was still getting passed by other vehicles. (What the shithell?)

However, I was totally unconcerned about being pulled over by a trooper. It was highly more likely that they'd see me tooling along in my Eagles jersey, and opt to give me a Mirabelli Escort. Anyways, the troopers were probably all watching the end of the Pats game.

Besides, I drive a flipping Honda Accord. Obviously, I'm going to drive it at high speeds at all times. To not do so would be uncivilized. It would be like buying high performance skis, and then spending all your time in the ski lodge. Or buying a Porsche for the expressed purpose of drug trafficking, and leaving it parked at an airport for a decade, a portion of which was not even spent as a guest of the Commonwealth. Just crazy talk.

A bonus to the Eagles' clinching (which came as the bastard Cowboys lost at home to the 3-13 Lions. hehe.) was that backup QB A.J. Feeley got to play the majority of the game, and he put up some serious stats. If Garcia gets hurt, there is no reason A.J. can't take over and move the offense.

Of course, A.J. will always be best known for his Heather Mitts connection.

Heather Mitts, of course, being the soccer player who is also the Most Attractive Female Professional Athlete Ever. Maybe she was even at the game, but I didn't get to see because of Fox. Craphead.

Anyways, I guess I will take solace in the fact that the NFC East Champion Philadelphia Eagles are, in fact, great. And will probably win the Super Bowl.
