  • I've never gotten over TO

    And that whole fiasco. I still believe the Eagles would've won a Super Bowl with him, had the FO handled it better. He was the best player I watched play on the Eagles (I'm too young to really remember Reggie) and his time here was way too brief. 2004 was the most fun I've ever had watching football, and that is a distant memory right now.

    Good lord, that season was ridiculously good.

    I remember being at the Packers game with my sister and the Eagles could literally score at will. And the Packers were not a bad team that year. I think the Packers had won six straight coming into that game. Honestly, it was such a blowout it got a little boring.

      Wasn't it 35-0 at halftime? And the Packers had the second best record in the NFC at the time, I believe.

      I'm just seeing all these TO highlights this week, and it's bitter sweet. Mostly bitter.

        People were even doing the TO chant at work.

        Joe Banner may have saved the Eagles some money on the cap, but he cost the team a shitload of cash for jersey sales and the real good chance of finally bringing the Lombardi to Philly.
        John Erlichman, one of President Richard Nixon's closest aides, has admitted America's "War on Drugs" was a hoax designed to vilify and disrupt "the antiwar left and black people" when it was launched in 1971.

          Well you weren't too young to remember Dawkins.

            I love Dawkins. But Owens is one of the top 5 greatest receivers ever.

              Really is a joke that Tony Dungy made the HOF and TO didn't.

                Marvin over TO is silly. TO has better numbers and is a better person. Marvin Harrison is still a criminal to this day and I wouldn't be shocked if he didn't even show up to his enshrinement.

                  Not really ... because comparing the statistics of receivers who played when it was run first, pass second, and when you could bump and run all the way down the field ... to those who played in the more recent offenses and under the pass-slanted rules, is apples to oranges.

                  EDITED TO ADD: But Owens should be in the HOF, and certainly as worthy as Harrison.

                  EDITED AGAIN TO ADD - The same applies to statistics for DB's.

                    I agree. Dawkins is a top 5 safety all time as well.

                    Ronnie Lott, Dawkins, Reed, Polamalu ...

                      Are you sure you just aren't getting dreamy about TO while replaying the shirtless sit-ups interview in your mind at night?

                          Hardly. You just couldn't man up and admit it so I thought I would point it out for you.

                            Remember when you couldn't man up after Nova lost year? The whole board laughed at you, you fucking pussy.

                              This is true.

                              Take the homer out of the equation and I'm a big Dawkins supporter. I'm not big into stats, but if that's what people like to consider, Dawkins has all the tackling statistics by a mile over everyone but Lott. Plus all the intangibles. Those stats apply to any area and yet stats don't tell the whole story, I agree.
