Sportsbet,
>>Why are so many people jealous of the Eagles? It never ceases to amaze me.
I'm not sure about anybody else but it has nothing to do with jealously in my case. More with the ever growing trend of choreographed celebration. Even in that area I'm more forgiving than many of my old-school conservative friends. I tolerate and even like most of TO's TD stuff. It's just the playing to the camera "skits" on the sidelines I think is silly. My wife teaches middle schoolers in DC, I go to the recesses sometimes to help out, throw the ball around, etc. You would not believe how directly this stuff transfers to the school yard. We have to wait on each kid if he scores so he can do his dance. But, like everything else, soon that will become the norm and someone else will push the envelope and years from now those playground kids will be all grown up saying, "look at that defensive team doing the entire dance number from "Thriller" because they downed the ball inside the 20...when I was a boy we just pulled a sharpie or cell phone outta our socks".
I'm also aware that I'm be a little hypocritical because when I was a kid, we'd slapping our knees together like Billy White Shoes Johnson and it wasn't quite the end of civil society...but my dad sure didn't like it.
Eagle are having a great year. Must be a lot of fun for you. Looks like TO is the missing link to push them over the edge. I'm a Skins tix holder and this weekend could get ugly quick in Philly. Pitt vs Philly in the Bowl?
