Bye-bye birdies

On an NFL weekend that was particularly unkind to teams with winged mascots, an Eagles fan, ironically, soared in the Pride Point challenge. I would, of course, trade my 4-0 week and 12 PPs to be able to wear my Jim McMahon Zubaz hat one more time and watch the Eagles play Chicago in the NFC Championship game. But these things are out of my hands.

Other successful pickers this week: Big Thunder, Maxipriest, and Snoop, each at 3-1. Joey D. admitted that he had made picks contrary to the rest of the group in an attempt to climb up the standings, but that backfired when he went 0-4 and became the second person in history to receive negative pride (-5 points is the penalty for hanging a goose-egg).

Comments:
The problem is that there's really nothing to complain about with that game. The Eagles had every chance to comeback/win that game (down to the dramatic opposing team fumble with 3 min to go in the game). They just weren't in step on Sat. As a fellow Eagles fan, I mourn with you. Not to mention effing up my night. However, we were playing with house money at that point.
