Weekend Recap: Iggles take over first place, Flyers win in shootout, Denzel Washington is EVERYWHERE

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.

The Flyers pulled off a solid win in Washington with a 5-4 shootout win. Boucher was in net, and the goals came from Giroux, Richards, Carter, and Nodl. Briere buried his shootout turn, and Boucher stopped Semin, Backstrom, and Ovechkin. Good victory, although they did go 1-9 on PowerPlay opportunities.

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

NFL Season

Is this the weirdest NFL season in a long time? Or is it just me? No undefeated teams. The Cowboys and the Vikings are both 1-3 (thankfully). And there's no standout stars. I'm currently invested in a Fantasy League with my friends. I'm currently in a solid 7th out of 8 with a 2-3 record. I've got the second most points in the league, but can't seem to get a good matchup. Everyone is equal and it's because of the equality of teams in the NFL. So I just wanted to point out a few things.

Teams with Problems

THE 49'ers- Don't worry. They claim they're gonna win the NFC West. Yeah, sure. And I shit Babe Ruth autographed baseballs. If your gonna make that kind of a claim win a fucking game. The West is full of inept teams who seem to get big wins one week, then blow an easy one the next. Frank Gore and Vernon Davis are the only players on their team that have impressed me. You guys beat yourselves on turnovers, bad defense, bad play calling and decisions, and poorer execution. Stop kicking your own ass and we might believe you.

Vikings- Nothing gives me greater pleasure than watching them lose games. Especially when they could have won them. Let us all agree that Brett Favre is a piece of shit pervert who can't keep his cock in his pants. Brad Childress will obviously do anything to save his job. Randy Moss, who wanted out of Minnesota when he was traded to the Raiders, was unhappy and unwanted on the high-power Patriots. Why would you bring him back? He's a god damn head case. You guys are on the fast track to being the worst team in the NFC North.

Cowboys- I almost hate "the Boys" as much as the Vikings. A bunch of stuck up, overpaid, assholes, coached by a wuss, playing for the biggest asshole- Jerry Jones. Let's get a new stadium. Then we'll get to the Superbowl and have a home field advantage. Not. Shut yo mouth! Tony Homo is the most overrated player in football. Your defense is old. You ain't. Going nowhere. You will be stopped now. Your Cowboys for life.

Green Bay- It's hard to talk bad about my own team. Yes I'm not an Eagles fan. But the Pack, who were considered a legitimate contender, are now ruined with injuries. Nick Barnett and Ryan Grant out for the season. Grant is more of a blow to them since he rushed for 1,200 yards the past two seasons (with a horrific O-line). Jermichael Finley, who has become Rodgers' new favorite target, is out 3 weeks for surgery. Donald Lee, Finley's backup is out for 2 weeks. Rodgers suffered a concussion on the last play of the Redskins game and may miss the next game. I couldn't even tell you our backup's name. But Clay Matthews has a good shot at being the Defensive Player of the Year if he stays healthy. C'mon guys. Get it together.

Teams with Potential

Detroit- Yeah they suck right? Well I see them as a team who will be jumping up the ranks soon. Matthew Stafford who? Shaun Hill has turned into a great replacement. Maybe better than Stafford. Calvin Johnson is finally getting receptions. Jahvid Best looked like a beast before he hurt his toe. They gave the Eagles, Chicago and Green Bay a good scare. And racked up 44 on the Rams. We should look at the stats. Other than their defense, they ain't bad.

Texans- Schaub has been up and down but it's hard to argue with 4,000 passing yards last season. Arian Foster is possibly the best back in the league. If they can get it together they might win an all 3-2 AFC south.

Chiefs- I'm still not a believer, but I'm getting there. They beat a helpless looking Charger's team who can't win even if Philip Rivers throws for 400 yards weekly. Then a bad Browns team and handily beat the woeful Niner's. But they looked pretty pathetic against the Colts. Four field goals no TD's. Their defense is real but I'm still waiting for Cassel to prove he's a playoff able QB.

Eagles- As long as Vick comes back healthy and ready to run they'll win the East. No team in that division looks like they have their shit together. Their O-line looks pretty shitty so far, but with Vick at the helm they don't need to be. They're young and they want to win. Bad. They wanna prove the national media wrong. And with good reason. Fuck McNabb. Philly's fans are great. Hopefully they won't suffer any more injuries. Now if they only knew how to call a play on third down.

Well thats about all I can say now. I'll leave you with one thing. WHY THE FUCK DO THEY EVEN HAVE A PRO BOWL? Have you ever watched it? Ten minutes of it? It's boring, means nothing, and they players don't care. Either put it before the Superbowl or give it a purpose. Hawaii here she comes.

Oh yeah? Does anyone loves the Cigar guy as much as me?

Phuck the Vikings, Love Philly
