Just remember Rocky didn't win because he actually beat Apollo Creed. He won because he went the distance in the ring. He won because he proved to himself that he wasn't just "another bum from the street." Honestly, I'm not even setting my expectations that high for the Eagles. But it is fitting to see that most "All-American" Patriots fans exhibit the self-congratulation and arrogance of the Champ's character -- makes the analogy a little stronger. And I love a good underdog story. We'll see what happens Sunday. ;-) Hey now. Just remember Rocky didn’t win because he actually beat Apollo Creed. He won because he went the distance in the ring.

Honestly, I’m not even setting my expectations that high for the Eagles. But it is fitting to see that most “All-American” Patriots fans exhibit the self-congratulation and arrogance of the Champ’s character — makes the analogy a little stronger. And I love a good underdog story.

We’ll see what happens Sunday. ;-)

Nuts! Take a look at the Eagles stats this year and list the defenses they played that were anywhere near the top of the league...guess what? You can count them on one hand and they lost two of those games. All I want to see is TO go across the middle and have the hardest hitting machine in the NFL clean him up. Just a little trash-talking, good luck! :) You’re nuts I tell you! Nuts!
