Video: Phil Allen is my hero
Phil Allen is a Philadelphia sports fan. He's kinda known in Philly circles and one of the most passionate fans around. Recently, I was chatting with James (co-worker over at Joystiq) about E-A-G-L-E-S: The Movie and I realized I didn't have it! So I rectified that and uploaded the above segment (my favorite portion of the film) for all of the internet to enjoy.
It's no secret that Philly hates Dallas -- the Eagles-Giants rivalry is way older but, as a kid who grew up in the '90s, I grew up hating Dallas. And the above video is the best explanation for how the city of Dallas was founded. Ever.
"I don't make friends with Cowboys fans. I wouldn't even make a baby with a Cowboys fan. Please." Awesome.
Today may be the most important day ever
Seriously, there's something going on tonight that could shake the very Earth we live on. If there's one thing I absolutely hate with all of my being, it's the Dallas Cowboys. I hate everything about them: their players, that mummified corpse Jerry Jones, and, most importantly, their fans. America's team? Give me a friggin' break.
Tonight is Monday Night Football, where the Eagles will be taking on the Cowboys. Their last match-up had the Eagles winning 10-6 and following last week's game, everyone here is pumped to see the Eagles come out throwing the ball well. We don't have to worry about a good running game. We've got Brian Westbrook.
So, basically, if you ever talk to me on these internets, don't expect me to be around between 8pm and midnight ET tonight. I've already got some beers, and a lot of delicious finger foods. Man, I'm pumped! And with the Phillies sweeping the Brewers and the Mets choking like the Mets always do, I'm finally feeling like being a Philadelphia sports fan isn't the most painful thing on the planet. Awesome!
But, alas, we must focus on tonight. What do you say? E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!
