Got milk ads are usually not flattering for anyone. White substance smeared across a large man's lip is usually not a picture I'd like to see. However, I would enjoy seeing a "got foreign policy ad" if it included sarah palin with a russian dressing mustache. Just a thought.

Not a big Eagles fan...but...have followed Donovan from the beginning...he "had" potential and it is slipping away...thanks to the ever-stoic Andy Reid....I have decided to just blame his coaching or lack of! Love the Palin reference!!

Fun drinking game for Friday: drink every time she says "Alaska." GET BLACKOUT! I wish I was there to imbibe with you all. I really didn't think the playcalling or overall offense was so bad, considering they didn't have the guy who accounts for 80 % (it seems) of it. 20 points, almost 27, is not so bad against a decent Bears D, on thes road, without your key player. In fact, it wan't a bad call near the goal line, but just Buckhalter not cutting back for just a little on the one dive. The whole offense could have been better, yes, but that's not what was bothering me.... KYLE ORTON THREW 3 TD'S IN ONE HALF! That senetence made my brain hurt. I still can't explain it. Anyway, I was more interested in checking out baseball scores and watching Penn State this weekend, so maybe the Eagles really aren't king of the nest anymore.

Andy Reid's play calling is nothing short of horrendous. Always has been, always will be. The most effective play calling the Eagles have had in recent memory was the stretch in 2006 when Andy Reid turned that responsibility over to Marty Morhinweg.

The Giants suck, Stev. They touch each other in the shower. Just kinda commenting on how weird things seem THIS week. The Chiefs still suck, but them beating the Broncos is still weird. Paul, Spiro Agnew should shoot you in the face with balsamic vinagarette.

Ya know, that game was frustrating and my blame goes all towards Andy Reid. It was classic "hey let's use timeouts when we should save some" Reid doing what he does best. That and calling the running plays back to back. It does prove that Westbrook is an integral part of the team, but I don't agree that he is the only thing carrying the team. The offense still worked well, just not as tight as usual. A big problem with that is the play calling. Sarah Palin should be shot in the face with Russian Dressing by Dick Cheney.

I'd hardly call Washington the dominant force in the NFC East. New York is still undefeated with a constantly improving Cube, a volitile though consistent (and now helthy) deep threat in Burress and an impressive D despite the losses of Osi and Strahan. Also, let's not forget that they're the reason thousands of third-world children are now wearing defunct 19-0 t-shirts. And though Washington delivered an impressive win over the Cowboys, it still wasn't a wipeout. The Chiefs/Broncos game this week and Dolphins/Pats game last week show that most flukes are likely to occur within a division since the teams meet atleast twice each year.
