I ...Here's my theory about the "overdose" incident. I think it was a ploy by Mr. T.O. to get his name back in the news. Had anyone heard his name recently before the incident? How about anything about him since preseason? No, me either. That's why he "overdosed," I mean combined medications.<BR/><BR/>As an aside, I ran into T.O. in the Atlanta airport he was definitely incognito and wasn't keen to even saying hello (I know athletes don't want to be bothered, so I say hello, offer a handshake, and move on). So some of his "boys" came up to me and said "Don't blow him up." Evidently his "crew" is not educated enough to know the difference between an Italian and an Iraqi. Probably the same for him because all he sees is himself and occasionally his son.chitown italianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005966579859344446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160142226265803812006-10-06T09:43:00.000-04:002006-10-06T09:43:00.000-04:00I don't like McNabb much nor do I like the city of...<I>I don't like McNabb much nor do I like the city of Philly's fans.

We are the most passionate fans in the country, bar none. <BR/><BR/>That rubs people the wrong way, because we boo "our own". But we support our Eagles, through thick and thin. We're loyal, and we demand nothing but loyalty in return.<BR/><BR/>If you were one of us, you'd understand. But you're not, and you never can be, even if you started rooting for the Eagles, right now. It's part of being born and bred in the Delaware Valley ... and we know the posers when we see/hear them.<BR/><BR/>So, you can hate the playa, but you cannot hate the game.<BR/><BR/>Brien "Fly, Eagles, fly ..."Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17646494642859915601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160081278719822072006-10-05T16:47:00.000-04:002006-10-05T16:47:00.000-04:00Here's a few potential signs:"You can't spell TOOL...Here's a few potential signs:<BR/><BR/>"You can't spell TOOL without T.O."<BR/><BR/>"Little T.O.

ESPN is unbearable to watch, with Ed Werder following his every move. Report on the actual games! You know, the action on the field. What a novel idea.<BR/><BR/>I am curious, though - how did TO get treated "unfairly" in Philly? He signed a 7 year contract, I believe, and tried to wiggle his way out of it after only one year.Worldwide Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392063253787919708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160073910867836642006-10-05T14:45:00.000-04:002006-10-05T14:45:00.000-04:00id acually like to say i like TOmy brilliant mind ...id acually like to say i like TO<BR/><BR/>my brilliant mind just had to come up with a great sign tho<BR/><BR/>i think he was the victim (wow TO a victim) of police being really really stupid<BR/><BR/>but my sign is still hilarious, just admit itGuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160073543101392592006-10-05T14:39:00.000-04:002006-10-05T14:39:00.000-04:00TotallyExceedinglyRidiculousRetardEndsLife?Overdos...Totally<BR/>Exceedingly<BR/>Ridiculous<BR/>Retard<BR/>Ends<BR/>Life?<BR/><BR/>Overdose<BR/>When<BR/>Everyone<BR/>Never<BR/>Sympathizes!GuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160071170786534532006-10-05T13:59:00.000-04:002006-10-05T13:59:00.000-04:00Profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm has an interesti...Profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm has an interesting post up about how Fox is going to "take precautions" at the pre-game show on Sunday. To Fox, I say good luck. They can probably get rid of signs but how do they expect to get people to stop chanting? I will be at the game and would love to take the Totally Overdosed sign in but that sounds like alot of work. BTW - can I post a comment from my cellphone? I would post all the good/funny signs if I can figure out how.<BR/><BR/>Finally, in my opinion, I think Dan is right with his Game of the Year comment, up till now. Not because of TO (though that doesn't hurt) but because it's a HUGE division rivalry with 1st place on the line. It may only be week 5 but division games are always important. That being said I hope the fans remember that the game is more important than some nut-job and if the Eagles lose than it all doesn't matter.DPrinzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662900474409470681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160070368233561382006-10-05T13:46:00.000-04:002006-10-05T13:46:00.000-04:00Game of the year?

Is this what you're trying to accomplish?<BR/><BR/>Is DAL/PHI a good match-up? Absolutely.
