Home Sweet Home

Got home last night around 2:30 a.m.; decided to drive down around 8 and needed to sift through the hurricane of my room to find enough shit to bring home with me.

Good to hear Mike Missanelli on 950 a few mins ago- that guy, for all his haters out there, is an awesome sports talk host. I interned at 950 over the summer on Danny Schwartzman's show which is right after Missanelli's, and everyone around the station likes the guy, too. I never met him personally.

Missanelli was talking about how this is kind of a shady year for the Eagles in that expectations are down because of the Phillies, which I find ridiculous. For a team that went to the NFC Championship game last year, expectations should be high and fans should be rabid. I know, the Phillies are good. Love the Phillies. That said, lets look at the premier sport in Philadelphia, and it's football. Missanelli is right though, things seem strangely calm this year, even at the Redskins game I went to.

Maybe they have gotten so close, so so close, so so many times, and we're sort of becoming immune to being excited about going to the playoffs. I can't think of another team in history that has come so close, so many times, for so long. You can say the Bills, but that was just a few years of coming SO close. This has been a prolonged period of disappointment.

Let's hope they don't put their heads in their asses come playoff time, because this team is talented. The next few years should be even better as these young guys on offense become a little more seasoned.
