I don’t think I’ve ever been less disappointed by an Eagles playoff loss than I was tonight. They played a good game. They had a couple of opportunities that they didn’t take advantage of, but that’s always the way it goes. (I just hope Stephen A. Smith doesn’t find a way to turn this game into an anti-Jeff-Garcia rant. UPDATE: Whew. He didn’t, although even his “Let’s give him credit” column might set a new record for backhanded compliments.)
If the Saints are making life even a little bit easier for the folks in New Orleans, more power to ’em. I just hope that the national attention helps remind us what still needs to be done down there. Especially since certain independent Senators have decided not to aggressively investigate said situation, but that’s a rant for another day.
Congratulations to both teams on good seasons.
