This past weekend the Eagles upset the heavily favored Giants on their way to the NFC Championship game against the Cardinals (Note: Have the Cardinals ever won anything, what's going on!?!?!?) Unfortunately, I was unable to watch the game live (it aired at 2am local time), but from all the highlights that I read and watched it was a tremendous game. What makes it even more tremendous - the Giants lost! Yes!!!! This has to be the greatest year of Philadelphia sports of my lifetime. It's a shame I'm not back in Brooklyn right now - it's much harder to tease snooty Giant fans online... Anyways, this is a happy day for Philly fans everywhere :)
On a related note, many of the Eagles have pledged not to shave their facial hair "to keep the Eagles hot" and many fans are joining them. I'm not sure if this is a testament to Philly fans' solidarity with their team or their dirty hygenic habits. Either way, count me in. Here is a current picture of me and then one of my father and our facial hair. (I tried talking my sister into it, but no dice...)
