Da Eagles pulled off an impressive win to take command of first place in the NFC East last night over the rival Giants. I was at the game, and the stadium was pretty intense. The team did have some weaknesses, like dropped balls, bad penalty calls, and bad play calls, but the defense held strong and the offense scored when it needed to. We proved we're in the discussion for best in the NFC. Vick had 258 yds throwing and 34 rushing, with a rushing TD. LeSean McCoy turned in a great performance, running for 111 yards, none better than his 50 yard, game sealing TD on 4th and 1 with just over 4 minutes left in the game. It seemed like we weren't getting any calls our way, until that dumbass Eli handed us the game with that bonehead fumble.
The D forced 4 fumbles, recovered 2, and intercepted Eli three times, although Asante fumbled it away on one of the returns.

They also traded forwards Pat Maroon and David Laliberte to Anaheim for former Flyer Danny Syrvet (who scored our only goal in the Winter Classic last season) and prospect Rob Bordson.
The Flyers face off against the Canadiens tonight at 7 at the Wells Fargo Center, and I'd love to see some Philly revenge for that shitty 3-0 loss last week in Montreal.
Also, did anyone else love seeing the Vikings arguing on the sideline and all around shitting the bed against the Pack? The crowd chanting "Fire Childress" in the 4th quarter was especially sad.
Today, Joey Votto got named NL MVP with all but one first place vote. Halladay finished 6th, Werth 8th, Howard 10th, and Ruiz 17th. Gotta love Chooch gettin in there.
And if you saw any of us three writers (or Chronor, J-Dolla, and Tyrone) on Saturday night/Sunday morning, you know it was a great time. Denzel Photoshop to follow later in the week.
PHUCK NATIONAL TELEVISION FOR THE SECOND WEEK IN A ROW, LOVE PHILLY
