The season has gone down the toilet.

Let's hope Santa Claus isn't making an appearance tonight

1. I'm guessing there will be a few snowballs hitting the field.
They might need to have TWO JUDGES in the basement courtroom. ;)

2. They got rid of the Eagles Court
When they built the Linc they made it so there was no "700 Level" seats. They figured there was a perceived notion that anyone with seats in the 700 level had the right to behave like assholes and cause trouble.

About a year into the season at the Linc they found that folks behaved better and they got rid of the court.

4. Sad sight: An Eagles short-bus for sale
Someone is selling a short school bus that they had painted Eagles green and decorated with Eagles slogans. It's parked at a gas station at a local intersection.

So sad.

All I have to look forward to is the Phils and our brand new 38-year-old closer.

6. You know, just because the Eagles aren't doing well this year...
...doesn't mean I'm going to toss all my Eagles stuff into the fire. I love my team - even wore my Eagles Jacket to work today (it's great for snowy days.

I'm a true fan that bleeds Eagle Green. I love them when they are amazing, like last season and I love them when they suck up a storm like this year. Bandwagoners need to find a new team to cheer on like the Dallas Cowboys - half their fans are a bunch of bandwagoneers. You can tell because they hobble around from all the times they've jumped on and off the wagon.

8. I am a Phils diehard and an Eagles bandwagoner
Not a pro football fan is the problem - only interested when the Birds are doing well.

I've had to read up on what's going on, because clients always want to know what I think about the whole TO thing.

I recently added a client who wanted to talk baseball, so I finally didn't feel so dumb (I'm much more comfortable with my female clients, who don't talk sports!)

My good heavens, we have like two veterans on the offensive and defensive lines! Everyone is hurt, it is a wonder we are doing as well as we are.

I love my Eagles too Lynn, win or lose I support all my boys! :)

9. oh I hope so
because it's suppose to snow throughout the night and you just know that Eagles fans are gearing up to throw snowballs. Fortunately it's not a division rival we're playing.

10. WOO-HOO!! A Snow Bowl!
I love games in the snow, no matter who is playing the game always turns out to be fun, enjoyable, and good for a few laughs. So I will be tuning in and watching tonight, just for the fun of it.

And for all you Philly diehards out there, don't despair. Yeah, this year is pretty well trashed, but next year, especially if you trade TO wisely(hint, trade to AZ for Larry Fitzgerald), you folks will be right back in the hunt for the SuperBowl. Don't let those fairweather fans get you down, OK.

15. I hope we'll be ok there...
We managed to contain LT really, really well (negative yards through most of the game)...but half our d-line is rookies :/

I've got to hope...
