FINALLY!

This morning, I began looking up packages to fly to Jacksonville, FL. Why? Because my Philadelphia Eagles are going to the Super Bowl. The least expensive package that I've found is just slightly over $2000. I can't afford that. I guess, I have to settle for watching it on television like most normal people.

The Angst Is Over

I was so nervous & anxious about Sunday's game, that I chose not to post anything about the Eagles for fear of jinxing them. I didn't do my usual trash talk. I didn't brag. I didn't flood the NFL forums with Eagle cheers. I did, however, go into an Atlanta Falcons group and trash talk. It didn't mean much because the group was empty.

I feared that if I got overly pumped up & exciting, that I'd be setting myself up for a huge letdown. My heart wouldn't have lasted for a 4th straight NFC Championship defeat. I would've cried for weeks had we lost. I was so ridden with angst that I didn't watch any sports programming in the days preceding the game. I didn't want to hear anything any "Know-It-All" Sports Analyst had to say (ahem Merrill Hoge!).

After that first TD, my fears went away. And when Brian Dawkins intercepted Micheal Vick, I knew the game was over. THANK YOU GOD!!

Nobody gives us a chance against the New England Patriots. That's ok. Nobody gave New England a chance when they played the St. Louis Rams in the Super Bowl back in 2001 either. I like our chances. :)

[Edit] The Eagles fans are going crazy. Ty has made an Eagles layout template. I would've never thought of showing my dedication in such a creative manner. How funny. E - A - G - L - E - S...EAGLES! [/Edit]

[Edit- 1/25/04] Trent has a wonderful post referencing the struggles that black quarterbacks (Donovan McNabb in particular) have had to endure while attempting to make their mark at history the NFL. [/Edit]

One More Thing

I wanted the Steelers to win so bad...for selfish motives. I wanted revenge in the Super Bowl. Dang!

Oh yea...have I mentioned that Jerome Bettis is fine?...The Bus is kinda hot!

Congrats to the Eagles! I really enjoyed the game.

Now for "The Bus"....I have ALWAYS thought he is fine, since like, FOREVER! I used to make a point to watch the Steelers play only to see him.
