It's a bird, it's a... oh, wait, it is a bird. And while I am talking about the Philadelphia bird, I'm NOT referring to a finger or any body part for that matter.
Contratulations Philadelphia Eagles! The transgretions of this season are forgiven as you have done all that I have asked of you. You have made progress over last year. Even if you lose the Superbowl, I will be okay with that. Sure, it would be nice if you'd go ahead and win while you were there, but I'd be okay with a second straight NFC title win AND a Superbowl win next year, too.
So are there signs to be noticed here?
Could the matching 27-10 winning score from today and the 27-10 losing score from Superbowl XV mean that the loss of the past will be overcome by the victory of today and beyond?
Does the fact that in 1980 the Eagles won the NFC title game (thereby heading to the Superbowl) AND the Phillies went to the World Series mean that this will also be a good year for the Phillies?
Okay so these are probably coincidences only a fan would notice and cite, but it gives me something to look forward to in the closing days of the football season and the soon-to-arrive baseball season.
