Gameday Thoughts

Last night I went to a get-together with some old friends. One guy I hadn't seen in years. His name is Marty and he's a Raiders fan. Omen?

This morning I'm driving around and the last song on the radio "A Little Help From My Friends" by Joe Cocker. The Eagles need some help from our friends in Oakland, Houston, and New York. Omen?

It all probably means nothing, but some tough losses have put me in a position where I have to look for anything positive. When you don't take care of business you are left to watch the scoreboard and hope.

It makes the day fun in the sense that you have to watch several different games and they all matter. It sucks because you have to rely on other teams to help you out.

All we can do is watch and hope. And then take care of business when 4:15 rolls around. My nightmare scenario is to have things go our way early in the day and then for the Eagles to choke against Dallas.

Please Eagles...please...beat the friggin' Cowboys. No matter what else happens I want us to win today and keep Dallas out of the postseason. That's the Christmas present I want from the guys in green.
