Every game to me is important but Cowboys, Giants, Skins games have an extra oompf to them. I was born in philly. Im an Eagle fan to the core. I was around through the drek years of Kotite and Rhodes and Im here now when Reid has this team the best theyve ever been over the past 8 years. So when that ring does come, its going to be extra sweet.
Like I said, I haven't watched a game yet this season. For one thing, I just can't sit down and watch anything for 3 hours. I really became more and more disenchanted with the NFL late 80s-ish when the show became more about the officials than the players.
The game became more and more about money over the years, but free agency made it TOTALLY about money. You would NEVER see Tom Landry sign TO after that BS he pulled in the star at midfield when he was with the 49ers.
When I was a kid, most of players played because they loved the game. Face it, Johnny Unitas was the highest paid player one year at $15k. There was no money in it, really, so it had to be for the love of the game.
That's gone. Well, I love the game. I loved to play. I don't love what the NFL has made of it.
