Excuse me, who do the Giants play?

The Giants? The New York "football" Giants?

What? They didn't make the playoffs??

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

I don't see the Eagles getting past the Packers though.

Roger Staubach
Terry Bradshaw
Phil Simms
Jeff Hostetler
Eli Manning
Peyton Manning
Donovan McNab

JoltinJoe knows how to shut the average Eagles fan up.

NFC: 8:00 PM (ET) Seattle or New Orleans or Green Bay at Atlanta (FOX-TV)

NFC: 1:00 PM (ET) Philadelphia or Seattle or New Orleans at Chicago (FOX-TV)

So that means if the Eagles win, they go to Chicago?

I'd have to believe that the Seahawks and Saints are huge Eagles fans this week. Who wants to go to Chicago in January?

Not really. But D1B and I know how to press Joe's buttons, albeit on different subjects!

And New York still sucks.

Mr. Hooper: Can you, boys and girls, use the words "Eagles" and "Super Bowl" in the same sentence?

First Boy: Sure. How many Super Bowls have the Eagles lost?

Mr. Hooper: Very good.

Girl: The Eagles have never won a Super Bowl.

Mr. Hooper: Right you are. How about you?

Second Boy: How come the Eagles have never won a Super Bowl?

Mr. Hooper: Because. Just because.

It actually eases my pain.

Too bad baseball didn't rename their championship in 1967 like football did. Then we could lop off twenty of the Yankees championships and pretend they never existed.

If it makes you feel better, I'll acknowledge that the Eagles have won 3 NFL championships in 78 years.

Ok, let's do that. So let's see. The team with the most baseball championships since 1967 would be ... let's check, hold on a second ...

The Yankees with 7!

No doubt. And you'd be acknowledging that sports, even football, existed before 1967. Just trying to help you with your selective memory.

Heck, the pre-merger NY Football Giants were a wildly successful team. I'd be proud of that fact if I was a Giants fan.

It may be selective, but it ain't memory.

None of us here were around to remember the Eagles' last NFL title.

Well, maybe Ivytalk because he's so old.

So just to be clear, the Giants are not in the playoffs, again, this year?

I dunno. My dad talks about it. I like listening to Chuck Bednarik talk about it. Plus, I love the iconic photo that season of Concrete Charlie shortening up Frank Gifford's career.

The last time they beat the Eagles was the week Barack Obama was elected. He probably doesn't want to talk about it.

Agreed. Nobody else was even close to 11 losses in the NFL Championship game.

[JoltinJoe]

The only team in Philly worth rooting is the Penn Quakers. Heck, the Quakers have won many more Ivy League football titles than the total numbers of championships won by Philly's four major professional sports teams, combined.

Go Penn!

I just checked - yup, the Giants indeed did not make the playoffs again this year.

Tell that to Cliff Lee and his wife. Just don't spit when you talk.
