I did some commenting on the700level.com today, probably my favorite all-Philly sports blog. In one, I started yelling at a guy who went by the name of “fitzgerald owns the eagles”. He just would not stop his arrogance and a**holery! I also finished by making my case for Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb to stay. Here you go, from “Game Day: Eagles at Cardinals for the NFC Championship”:
“I have a few things I feel I need to address.
1. FItzgerald, either go **** yourself, or go **** him, because if you’re refreshing this page every 10 minutes in the basement of your mother’s house in New York, still bitter over last week, or in Dallas, still bitter because Tony Homo is an overrated choke artist, under a Cardinals fan alias, then you deserve to have your team go 0-16 for the rest of your life. And if you actually are a Cardinals fan, then that’s even worse. Get your own damn blog, you ***hole! Oh, that’s right! There only were 17 Cardinals fans before they made the playoffs!
2. Before the “Thanksgiving Resurgence” I probably wouldn’t have disagreed to fire Reid and trade McNabb. I might not have agreed, but I wouldn’t have disagreed. But now, I think the resurgence has to have bought them another season. Before Thanksgiving, they already were five feet under. Then, they were playing Washington, with just one foot still in the grave. If they won, they’d have all but secured a playoff spot, and held off their inevitable death a little longer. But they lost, and not only did they shoot themselves in the foot, but slipped to 5.999 feet underground, as well. We, as fans of this inconsistent team that we hate to love, were rewarded with another week of “Fire Reid and McNabb” talk. And then, the miracles came. We realized Houston had a chance to win. They did. We realized that awful team in Oakland they call the Raiders had a chance to win. They, for reasons still unknown, did. For that, we were rewarded with facing and beating up on Taint Jackson. Then getting revenge on the Plaxicos. Then attempt to form a cross-Penn Super Bowl. And win a Super Bowl. And get McNabb into the Hall of Fame. And stop all those bandwagon-ing Cardinals fans. Sure, we didn’t make it on those last four, but we came so far. And that’s good enough for me.
Ok, I think that’s enough for now. I think of more rants to go on later.”
The second of the two comments was on “Nope. Inconsistent Eagles Lose Another NFC Championship Game,” which really is the best name that could have been used in this situation. Yes, I much would have preferred to read, “Eagles On to Super Bowl,” but now I have a reason to be depressed! And reading blogs and blogging really does help heal the pain of another failed Super Bowl run. But, in any case, my comment was based on the previous comment, short, sweet, and to the point:
“I swear, if I see “fitzgerald owns the eagles” here, I am going to ****ing kill something, probably him.”
And to express the feelings of my fellow fans of this failed freakin’ team, I’ve decided to post some of my other favorite comments.
- “Remember when we almost had Fitz this off season?”
- “put the phillies banner back up please”
- “I’m just shocked. Shocked. And why? Haven’t we expected Reid and McNabb to come up short? Only this time, the defense came up small too as if we needed a cruel twist. Yet when Jackson caught that ball, especially considering the Redskins game, I really and truly thought we could do it. Dammit.”
- “game was exactly what the eagles do to you every time. get you so close…have the comeback that you think you can actually win the game…then come up so small when it matters and lose so that everyone has their heart ripped out”
- “yes, one play doesnt change the game. but avant was RAPED on third and 6 with 9 minutes left in the second quarter, curtis was TACKLED before the ball got there (both of those plays could have gone for TDs), and hightowers ankle was down before he reached the goal line. add all that up, and 3 plays change the game.”
- “getting 6 points in the first half and not being able to punch at least one td in hurt the team as well…Should have had way more points going into halftime”
- “*Inserts Phillies World Series DVD*”
- “pitchers and catchers report on Feb 14th”
- re: previous: “valentines day. bummer.”
- “…Today was just another subtle flavor in the bouquet of misery that comes with following this team…. it was surprising to see the defense come out flat, giving up more ypc than in the Giants and Vikes games (to Edge, a has-been and Hightower, a never-will-be). The 3rd quarter was simply heroic, on both sides of the ball.”
- “T.J. Houshmandzadeh is a free agent.”
- “How about a Flyers/Sixers banner?”
- “…I guess I thought I would feel different after that first big blow. Like “no big deal, we won the World Series.” But I don’t feel any different. I feel exactly the same as I did after the Panthers game and the Tampa game. I feel like ****. I am sad. I am disappointed. I pissed that I spent 5 months riding an emotional rollercoaster with this team just for them to fall flat at the end.”
- “…hopefully no more greg lewis. I think I say that every January.”
- “When was the last time we had a GREAT tight end?
And nobody say Chad Lewis”
- ” Hold it!!! Fitzgerald is still running through the Eagles secondary and scored another TD!!! I’m not impressed with the Steelers or Ravens. The Arizona Cardinals are going to win the Super Bowl. Let that sink in!!!” (For this one, I really need to tell you who said it.) ~ fitzgerald owns the eagles (**coughing** f***ing bastard **coughing**) Excuse me, how rude. I coughed on you over the Internet, while cursing someone out.
- Re: previous: “Sad, sad Cardinals fan. He’s not impressed with the Steelers or the Ravens? We’ll see how impressed you are when they remove Kurt Warner’s head from his body. Those are two very tough f-ing teams.”
- “We are the Bills of the late 90s because of this constant disappointment.”
- “Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of fans..Go Giants”
- Re: previous: “Oh, I’m sorry, how did the giants season end this year? I forgot”
- Also re: previous: “Well, it happened to you first… Giants fans talking smack. Hilarious.”
- “I saw a poll on philly.com that said that 20% of people thought it was McNabb’s fault. Anyone who thinks this is on McNabb has an IQ of below 30. He played a 2nd half that was as good as any quarterback ever in a clutch game. If not for Greg Lewis being, well, Greg Lewis, McNabb would have had over 425 yards passing. This one was simply the Eagles coming in with a terrible game plan, and the Cards having a solid game plan. Andy Reid proved yet again that he is the Marty Schottenheimer of the NFC.”
- “my name is larry fitzgerald and i am an eagle killer… I eat pieces of **** like the eagles for breakfast.”
- Re: previous: “You eat pieces of **** for breakfast?”
- Also re: previous: “Larry: I see your Pitt education served you well. Try capitalization and punctuation.”
- “Like I said…ever the bridesmaid never the bride. That’s what you get for taking the Cardinals for granted. Just a reminder to cancel your Tampa reservations. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA” ~ another a**hole Cardinals fan (Reach) no, wait… what?!?!?! holy crap! he’s a f***ing giants fan! still, an a**hole, but still… why is he making fun of us?
- Re: previous: “‘That’s what you get for taking the Cardinals for granted’ Have you even been paying attention the past week?? Only an idiot would say that was the issue here. You fairweather cardinals fans need to read a book or something, christ.”
- “The trolls on here are just bitter that their teams didn’t make it this far. And don’t try to tell me that they are Cards fans, because until I actually meet one in person, I don’t believe they exist.” ~ doubleh
- “I’m getting tired of this “No one believed we could do it or gave us a shot at winning” bullshit the Cards and their fans are slinging. A ton of national pundits picked them to win this game and I, for one, thought they were a huge threat because they came into this game playing so hot. Go out and celebrate, you morons. Your team is going to the Super Bowl for the first time in–ever–and you’re posting on a Philly blog” ~ doubleh
- “my name is kurt warner and i am an eagle killer… times 2”
- Re: previous: “Everyone knows Kurt wouldn’t be on here. He’s drawing Jesus as we speak.”
- “The NYG made it this far last season…oh yes, and won the SB for the third time. Meanwhile, the crappy birds are 1 for 5 in NFC championship games and lost the only two SBs they have been to. Hey you guys still have the Phillies!!!” ~ Reach
- “Reach: That was last season. We’re talking about this season in which you are back to Eli choking in playoff games” ~ doubleh
- “@doubleh you as an eagles’ fans should not be talking about choking in the playoffs. The bottom line is that Eli has one more Lombardi trophy than McNabb will ever have. Perhaps if Andy spent more time preparing as opposed to eating, the Birds would have won.” ~ Reach
- “Reach: I’m just saying it’s a bit hypocritical of you to come here pointing fingers, considering both our teams are now out. I don’t care about your past SB wins; this was about this season. Eli Manning has a ring, yes, I know–but he also has an very undeserved MVP Trophy that should have gone to his fucking defense. And who gives a shit if Andy Reid is fat? He can’t win the big one, I get you. But Bill Cowher went 15 years before he finally won one. It ain’t easy. If it was, everyone would have a trophy. Jeezus.” ~ doubleh
- “Watching McGahee go off the field, phil simms made some very smart and respectful comments. Take a clue, Aikman.”
Sorry this is so long, but I really need something to heal the pain. Read what you want. Don’t read what you don’t. The point is that you’re here. Which paves the way for the Usually Useless Official Philosophy:
“I don’t really care if you read, just come and check it out every once in a while! Something might have been posted since you checked last month!”
