No love from Philly My answer: The game was played in September. The Eagles were better then; the Saints, I feel, are better now. Plus, I didn't see one of you birds taking note of the fact that the Giants, who beat the Iggles not once but twice -- and quite convincingly, too -- were ranked four spots lower... |

MNF 2000 should schtick to basics In his defense, Dennis Miller seems like a nice guy, and he did a good job memorizing little snappers from the press books and probably conversations with the teams' p.r. staffs as well. Is this really football knowledge, or just a student cramming for an exam? |
