Eagles fans already know the answer: “The Eagles.”
That had to hurt a little to say, but you’re not wrong.
Not at all, I was born here. I own a Rodney Peete jersey. Pain is the default and this ain’t it.
Yeah, I used to make fun of Philly for having a statue to a fictional champion because they couldn’t win a real one.
That’s what Rocky was about,” [Stallone] said. “Having the opportunity. Not to win. Not to set records. Not someday to be made into a statue. But just the opportunity to run the race and see if you can finish.” The statue, he added, “is not about me. It’s about you. Because inside of every one of you, there’s a real Rocky.”
Long-time Philadelphia Inquirer writer Clark DeLeon, posted the following observation after attending the unveiling ceremony:
“…Among the thousands who crammed into the green leafy area on the north side of the front steps of the Art Museum Friday evening, dodging rush hour traffic to see and hear Sylvester Stallone speak at the unveiling of the Rocky statue, I must have heard five foreign languages spoken by those who eagerly sought to get a glimpse.
“I heard Chinese, I heard German, I heard what could have been Serb or Croatian, I heard Philippino….
“I’m not saying that Philadelphia isn’t a cosmopolitan city, but in my lifetime of walking its streets, I’ve never heard so many different foreign languages in such a short time."
Edit: punctuation.
The Lions if they can stay healthy.
The talking heads are sleeping on the Lions forgetting that down the stretch they had to start 3rd and 4th stringers just to put a defense on the field.
But I really do think it is our year.
People forget the offense improved after Dan Campbell fired his first OC and started calling plays himself BEFORE promoting Ben Johnson to OC.
I think they’re definitely going to make it interesting.
Obviously the most likely candidate is the Kansas City Chiefs.
What other team has played in five of the last six Super Bowls? What other team has won three of the last six Super Bowls?
And they basically own the AFC Championship game now too.
