Eagles vs Cowboys

I had to fly down to North Carolina for work on Thursday and Friday (I hate leaving Meghan alone even if it's just for one night). When I got home Friday evening I wasn't there more than a half an hour before Jon called - and as tired as I was I always have time to talk to my boy. He commences to tell me that he just got a voicemail from one of his friends stating that he would give Jon his two Eagles tickets if Jon would give him two of his Flyers tickets. ........ wait, what!?! .......

This game is one of the biggest in years, mainly because of Terrell Owens coming back to the Linc as a division rival with the hated Cowboys. I wasn't going to miss the chance to go to the game - no way. Especially when it's free.

I had to attend an engagement party on Saturday for one of my friends so I couldn't go up to Philly until Sunday morning. I ended up leaving my place around 8:30ish and got to Jon & Rachel's at 11:00. 2 1/2 hour drive isn't too bad.

Once I got there we instantly packed up what we needed for the game, I gave Jon his birthday gifts: a box of 10 glass cased Rocky Patel cigars (1992) and this cool old school leather helmet with the Eagles logo on the front and back. He got a lot of attention because of that thing.

I don't want to write a book so let me break it down. We got on TV during the pregame show, drank Single Barrel Jack Daniels (soooo smooth), smoked Opus X's (spicy, rich, headspinner, delicious), enjoyed the beautiful sunshine, got into the stadium, saw an absolutely amazing game in which the Eagles won and TO was a non-factor .... it was perfect. The game ended with Lito Sheppard returning an INT 102 yards for a TD - the pass was inteded for, you guessed it, TO ....... Perfect.

There are some pictures of the game linked here -
PICS

There are a couple that stand out to me - but my favorite Eagle (Dawkins) having an interception is one of the best. In the middle you'll see a couple Eagles sacking Bledsoe - that was the theme of the game as they did it 7 times!

Last but not least - I can't let you go without showing you some pic's of poor Owens .... please feel sorry for this guy, we all know he'd feel sorry for you. (yes, that is dripping with sarcasm)

He literally dropped this pass on purpose - as Lewis was going to crush him if he caught it.
Because kids may see this site I can't show you the ones of him cussing at his coaches and teammates so you get to see him sitting like a big baby - cry us a river TO.
