OMG! Did you see the story on NBC where one of the guys who was shoveling out the Linc for the game got frostbite and is now lying in the hospital? He might have to lose his fingers and toes. They asked him why he did it and he said he wanted to help, he wanted to help McNabb and TO get to the Superbowl. They asked him what he wanted, he said all he wants is for them to win. It was sooo sad!

WIP was reporting last night that TO went into the bubble with a trainer to work on cutting drills. He came out with a good sweat going and said (not sure the exact wording, but this is close): "See! Nobody thought I could do it."

I'm almost sure he'll play.

Last night on 3 CBS, Beasley Reese (sp?) said TO did straight out drills without cutting and was up to full speed in the straight-away drills

I guess cutting's the real key, but if he really can run at full speed, and he's willing to take the risk of playing, he could catch a few balls.

Maybe they'll just use him on the old playground: "Okay, everybody go deep." plays.:lol:

They said TO was noticeably limping. That's usually not a good sign. I wonder if a wounded TO playing is more of an asset to the Eagles or a liability. Remember, Randy Moss on a limp was a shell of himself, getting easily handled by Lito Sheppard.

I was just on TO's website. Someone asked if he was willing to risk his career and his longterm well-being by playing in the Superbowl. He replied "DO U BELIEVE N MIRACLES OR BETTER YET, DO U BELIEVE N GOD?"

Good luck, TO. *crosses fingers*

I thought that it was "You run down to the red car, and cut hard across the street. You, go down to the green car, and then head towards the house with the funny tree in front of it." :confused:

I think TO will play if it is up to TO.......but............what if it's up to Reid. He'd probably bench him if the doctors are saying no!

eek

I think even a TO at less than 100% is still a great decoy!

:D

From ESPN.com:

As of Friday, the Philadelphia Eagles plan to have Terrell Owens gradually rejoin team practice Wednesday and to use him as the third receiver in Super Bowl XXXIX on Feb. 6, team sources told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio.

Those plans are contingent on the star receiver not suffering any setbacks in his rehabilitation from leg injuries, as is Owens' vow to ESPN's Michael Irvin on Thursday that he definitely will play when the Eagles take on the New England Patriots.

Things were looking good Friday, when Owens ran and cut on the Eagles' indoor field for the second straight day, according to Paolantonio.

Todd Pinkston and Freddie Mitchell are expected to be Philly's first two options at receiver even if Owens gets the go-ahead to play.

TO said he not only expects to play but plans on playing like himself. Everyone said he looked great in practice. :eek:

TO is not human. :lol: :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:

Is it me or do you really see a big difference between the attitudes of the Eagles and Pats. The Pats seem so tense, it's like they are very uncomfortable in the hands-down favorite role. They're blowing every little thing out of proportion and seem like they're desperate to be the underdog. They're all talking about how no one respects them... everyone is picking them to win! The Eagles on the other hand seem all relaxed and goofy. McNabb's talking about all different kinds of soup. Dhani Jones is handing bow ties to everyone. All of them are holding camcorders everywhere documenting the whole experience. It's all fun and laughter.

From the philly papers yesterday:
IF YOU listen to Bostonians, Super Bowl XXXIX is already in the bag.

Their coach is a genius and the quarterback is the second-coming of Joe
Montana. They had the longest winning streak in NFL history and they won
two of the last three championships.

So what?

The Super Bowl is bigger than mere individuals. It's bigger than
statistics and strategy. The Super Bowl is about the verities of life,
the balance of all that is right and good in the universe.

Thanks to a modest measure of omniscience, Blitz Package offers these 10
reasons the New England Patriots don't deserve to win the Super Bowl.

* 1. The Pats, surely the most boring team in professional sports, have
drained the fun out of the game and replaced it with machine-like
proficiency. It's like rooting for a robot.

* 2. The town's most popular politician lost the White House to the most
unpopular president in the history of American politics, and now it
wants us to trust it with the Lombardi Trophy? I don't think so.

* 3. New England is a region, not a city. Get yourself a city, then come
back and play.

* 4. This is a perfect opportunity to end all this nonsense about a
"dynasty."

* 5. Pretty boy Tom Brady, who said he wants to be a U.S. senator
someday, allowed himself to be used as a tool of the Republican Party by
sitting next to Laura Bush at last year's State of the Union address. At
the time, he had never bothered to vote in an election. Super Bowl
trophies are not for opportunistic hypocrites.

* 6. Their cheerleaders lack sufficient boobage.

* 7. New England, Old England, whatever - Philadelphia fought two wars
to rid itself of the crown, and now we're going to let those Tory
________________ walk off with the Super Bowl?

* 8. Their fans are smug dilettantes who never supported the team until
it was a winner.

* 9. With a win, Bill Belichick will surpass St. Vince Lombardi's
post-season coaching record. If this happens, life as we know it will
cease to exist.

* 10. Boston already used up its share of sports miracles.

Wake me when it's over

Belichick must've learned public relations from Karl Rove. He has his
team so "on-message" that he prohibits his assistants from talking to
the press, lest they stray off topic. The New York Daily News reported
that even Charlie Weis, the Patriots' offensive coordinator who's
leaving next season to coach at Notre Dame, has been denied permission
to talk to reporters.

Meanwhile, Belichick is the most unquotable being in the
English-speaking world. Asked about the praise that's heaped on his
team, he said, "Criticisms are made. Accolades are given. What I try to
focus on is our future opportunities and achievements."

No surprise: As a youth, Belichick was a golf caddy for Spiro Agnew.

Ha-ha... oh, shut up

"In the Senate, the vote to confirm Condoleezza Rice as the next
secretary of state was 85-13 in favor. 85-13! No, I'm sorry, that's what
the score of the Super Bowl is going to be when the Patriots beat the
Eagles."

- Jay Leno

Swoop this

The Boston Herald, grasping for any possible edge in the big game,
reports that human mascots are 18-7 in Super Bowl matchups with animal
mascots.

However, this is the first Super Bowl featuring a matchup between a
flesh-ripping, razor-taloned, winged beast of terror and a
knickers-wearing dandy in a tri-corner beanie.

Breakfast of champions

If some nitwit was crazy enough to shell out $28,000 for the Virgin Mary
on a grilled- cheese sandwich, how much would you pay for an Eagles logo
in a bowl of Apple Jacks?

As of last night, the going price on eBay was about 10 bucks, plus
shipping, but not including the milk.

The green Eagle logo is hard to discern at first, but stare at the
photos on the popular online auction site long enough and you'll spot
the open beak in the soggy cereal.

Is it an omen?

The seller, an Eagles fan named Caryl from Reading, thinks so. She
doesn't want her last name printed because she's worried she'll be
swamped with calls from fanatics looking for a lucky charm.

It was Caryl's teen-age daughter who spied the Eagle. It took Caryl
about two seconds to think it might be worth something on eBay. The
buyer gets the cereal, already dried and dumped into a plastic bag, and
the bowl. Some re-assembly may be required.

"I already have 11 bids on it," she said. "I just did it to be funny,
but who knows? It might be an omen!"

Dubious moments in Boston sports history

Oct. 21, 2004.

The Boston Red Sox win their first World Series in 89 years. During the
celebration, Boston police open fire on fans, killing a 21-year-old
woman.
