No worries, it’s all good, and yes hopefully Philly gets these next two!

Apologies — I thought Mizzo wrote this. I could’ve sworn that was up there yesterday. Anyway — great piece. Philly is definitely trying to get out of that conversation.

^Temple3, I know that’s Bob Marley…I always open my stories with a lyric or something meaningful from Langston Hughes.

I think you mean Vinitieri. Klecko’s like Tebow — along for the ride.

Mizzo:

Quickly: You know that that’s Bob’s line. Lauryn just borrowed it — in a complimentary (luv her some baby Rohan) kinda way.

Since you’ve taken the “Way Back Machine” all the way back to 1948, you’ve gotta save some Syndrome Sympathy for the Minnesota Vikings.

Four Super Bowl losses under Bud Grant. A heart attack-inducing loss to the Dallas Cowboys on the Pass Interference Touchdown pass from Staubach to Drew Pearson. A devastating loss to the 1998 Atlanta Falcons after Hall of Famer Gary Anderson misses his ONLY KICK OF THE SEASON. How about the 1987 Vikings — the Wildcard squad that knocked off the Saints and the vaunted 49ers (in San Francisco) only to lose by a TD to the Washington Redskins? Remember Wade Wilson, Darrin Nelson and Anthony Carter? I know you do!

The Minnesota Vikings just have to get some love. Four SB losses. The Purple People Eaters. Chuck Foreman with more spin moves than Karl Rove. Paul Krause, the NFL’s career INT leader. The old Metropolitan Stadium and those FRIGID FROZEN TUNDRA games that defined the old NFC Norris. Remember? I know you do!

Also Mizzo.

Every NFL team that klecko has played on won a championship when he was there.

Pats and colts.

Klecko is the eagle’s good luck charm!!!

LOL!!!

I love the site so much you’ve converted me from someone who used to like Donovan well enough into a true fan. I’m rooting for the Eagles now and everything…

But “Titletown”? C’mon nah.
Let’s have some respect for the tradition of the game. There can be only one.

That said… Go Philly.

Yeah that would be something.

Just to play a little game……the philies won the WS in ’80 no switch the numbers around and they win in ’08.

The eagles won there first championship in 1948……if they win the super bowl it will be 48 years since they won their last championship in 1960.

Also if you take the 1960 championship and flip the last 2 digits around you get ’09.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm could it be???

Could the AFL soul not only be the last team that won a championship in the AFL. Also be the team that ended the 25 year philly championship curse???

HAHA this is Fun Mizzo………I feel like Miss. Cleo.
