Cowboys/Eagles Game

[dis12]

Parcells was just on NFL Network talking about playing in Philly.  he mentioned that he wished people wouldn't throw eggs at their bus. ha.

Ha..that was Die-Hard. 

You'll have to stop over & try your aim.

I hope he has been practicing his egg tossing the past few weeks (we know he's tossed  everything else.

Hoorayyyyyyyyyy!!

[SunMo]

what the fans did is pretty clear, they cheered when he was first hurt (bad), got somewhat quiet when he stayed on the ground(appropriate), cheered when the stretcher came out (bad), gave him applause when they wheeled him off (appropriate).

to listen to some people, the fans went crazy with cheering the whole time.

It's funny how quiet this board gets leading up to 'big' games.

Let's make something out of nothing!

The profit margin on something from nothing is astounding.

[Eaglez]

Whatever. You knew that TO wasn't going to admit that he received it. I'd trust McNabb's veracity over TO anyday.

[Susquehanna Birder]

What's the cell service that TO did the commercial for? It certainly doesn't speak well for their coverage.

That's it. Maybe they should just take the clip of Owens saying, "I didn't get it" as their tag line.

"UNPRECEDENTED" SCENE COMING IN PHILLY

Since the official NFL-licensed buzzword as to the Albert Haynesworth suspension is "unprecedented," we're going to borrow it for a moment (and, hopefully, we won't have to pay a rights fee).

On Sunday, an "unprecedented" scene will unfold in Philadelphia.

Whether it's regarded as beautiful or hideous will be in the eye (or ear) of the beholder (or behearer . . . yeah, it ain't a word but wtf). 

Regardless, it will be "unprecedented."

We did a spot earlier this morning with our friends at WIP radio regarding our "Tuna wanted to cut T.O. in September" story, and it's obvious to us that Eagles fans are gearing up for a display aimed at so thoroughly unnerving Owens that he'll ultimately do something that will prompt coach Bill Parcells to cut him in October.

Also, we suggest that the folks with the Guinness Book of World Records get to Philly right now, because on Sunday we'll see a new standard set for the most people ever to simultaneously chant profane and/or obscene words.

"T.O. swallows!" appears to be a popular sentiment, but our money is on a repeated mantra of "F--k you, T.O!" whenever he catches a pass, drops a pass, and/or takes a breath.

Given that the folks at the FCC got their knickers in a knot over a half-second glimpse of Janet Jackson's right breast during halftime of the SUper Bowl, we wonder what they'll have to say about the language that will be broadcast nationally on Sunday, if FOX doesn't take appropriate precautions to block it?

On one hand, the network can argue that it has no control over what members of the public say and do.  On the other hand, the network reasonably can foresee that steps need to be taken to insulate viewers from having to hear that stuff.

In our view, FOX is on notice that salty language will be peppered throughout the game, so FOX should be taking steps to ensure that the audience isn't subjected to it.  Whether that means leaving the field microphones in the truck or installing soundproofing in the booth from which Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will call the game is something that the folks at FOX will have to decide.

Then there's the FOX pregame show, during which we're convinced that there will be a few creative signs and a few compelling chants from the open-air throng of folks in the background, who'll surely be reprising some of the phrases heard during the ESPN pregame and postgame on Monday night in Philly, especially since former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson is one of the members of the FOX cast.   

As to the folks who'll actually be at the game on Sunday, we strongly advise leaving anyone under 14 at home.  In addition to the new vocabulary words that Junior might learn (then again, if he's gone to other Eagles games he already knows them), pills and pill bottles and all sorts of other stuff will be flying through the air.  Plus, we believe that there's a legitimate risk of fans storming the field and/or various fights and riots throughout the stands. 

As one league insider mentioned to us this morning, the dumbest move of all was the decision of the schedule makers to make the game a 4:15 p.m. EDT affair, giving folks an extra three hours to get lubricated in the lot before kickoff.

And because this promises to be one of the biggest regular-season NFL spectacles we can ever recall, we'll be breaking from our Monday night routine and we'll be charting every second of the broadcast, with smart-ass comments from us and from our readers, via a special edition of the PFT Live Blog.
