Eagles 20, Packers 17

I know... this is old news... but what an amazing game. To bad I spent the entire game watching the stats roll by on NFL.com(munist). Over the past few years my interest in the NFL has waned a bit. Partly due to my growing interest in college football. The thing that frustrates me now is that if I want to listen to a game over the web they want to charge me some ungodly amount... it's just streaming audio... most good radio stations provide it for free. Now this is the first year they have charged and I am sure they are banking it all. I think they must have decided that radios had no right to broadcast a description of their game. And for heaven's sake don't share any footage with ESPN so they can broadcast it over ESPNMotion. I guess it might break them if their fans that don't live in the US could actually watch a highlight or hear a game once-in-awhile. I mean shoot, I don't live in the US... I have no right to watch or listen to an NFL without their written permission probably. Anyway... that's not really what I wanted to blog about.

My cousin is the punter for the Eagles. He had a really good game. The thing is no one ever really notices the punter until he screws up or gets one blocked. If you watched the game you may not have even noticed that in the OT he kicked the ball 50 yards and then ran down the field and got the tackle only allowing a 15 yard return. It's his rookie year and I am excited for him. I really hope he gets a Super Bowl Ring. That would be cool.

I should probably note that my favorite NFL team is Da Bears... They always will be my favorite team too... even though they suck and next year doesn't look good either. So... for now... GO EAGLES!!
