Cowboys - Eagles

Cowboys and Eagles, if you're going for ratings this is the game you want. NFC East rivals, The South vs. The East Coast. Romo vs. McNabb.

For most fans this is a who do you hate the least game. Unless you live in Texas, you're probably sick of Jerry Jones and his multimillion dollar stadium. How lucky was he to be able to host a playoff game and show off his stadium one more time. It's kind of like a $10,000 watch. Do you need one, of course not. But if you have enough money to buy one for yourself, your mom and dad, brother and sister, agent, high school coach, and a back up watch just in case, would you buy one, ok maybe. I'll give Jones credit though, I don't think any owner loves his team more than he does.

I never have liked Donovan McNabb, no good reason really. He was a little ornery when he was younger, and he still is a little. We all remember Rush Limbaugh's comments awhile ago. Limbaugh tried making a point that should have been saved for his own show. I don't defend what he did, but I also hold McNabb accountable for not trying to diffuse the situation while taking the high road. He let the public and media build Limbaugh's comments into something they weren't. It created lots of tension not only in the sports world but throughout the country, LIKE PENNSYLVANIA. In a World where racism happens, we have to learn to move on when we can rather than let it linger on the news channels.

Back to football, McNabb is a Pro Bowl quarterback who's only missing a Super Bowl ring. The only reason I have a slight desire to see the Eagles pull this out is because I drafted McNabb and DeSean Jackson in my fantasy football league this year. They were my bread and butter and I want to see them be successful. I admit that this is a major NFL fan foul. There is rule of ethics in Fantasy Football that can be difficult to follow. You don't want to draft players from your favorite team, that makes you a homer. The great challenge is to draft players you dislike or who are on teams you dislike. It's like hedging your bet. But as you may have already noticed it has backfired on me this year. So what needs to happen is the Cowboys need to win handily, not to give me any hope or feel any grief for the McNabb to Jackson 60 point combo.

I'm a closet Cowboys fan since Parcell's coached them and I like Tony Romo's story. However, 'Coach Wade'...you're fired (hand gesture a la Trumph). Eagles romp the Boys secondary while McNabb throws for 350.
