Here is a lame attempt to bash the Eagles and Donovan McNabb:
1. First this moron starts out by bashing Donovan McNabb for endorsing Campbell's Chunky Soup. Ignore the fact that New York Giants fan-favorite Michael Strahan also did a Chunky Soup commercial back in 2002. But aside from that, what does endorsing Campbell's Chunky Soup have to do with anything? Athletes endorse all sorts of ridiculous stuff. What's so bad about Chunky Soup? In fact, it's actually pretty damn good.
If you want to make fun of a Philadelphia athlete for advertisements that he's in, make fun of Chase Utley for endorsing Vaseline. Oh wait, Michael Strahan did that, too!
Chase Utley don't use cheese
Michael Strahan don't use jelly
2. Then, she takes a shot at McNabb for being a "Momma's Boy." While it's true McNabb has a close relationship with his mother, is this really something we should be mocking? Maybe this lady's right. Maybe we should glorify athletes like Adam Jones and Rae Carruth instead of genuinely good guys like McNabb. It makes sense, right? Amy Blair needs to take Eminem off her iPod and start listening to some Mr. T (for those of you missing this obscure reference)
And forgotten in this whole hate festival against McNabb and his relationship with his mother is the fact that Eli and his Dad are joined at the hip. Remember when Archie Manning came out crying about Eli going to the Chargers -- leading to the Manning-Rivers trade? Nothing wrong with that, I suppose...but Donovan, stop being a Momma's Boy. Come on, Mr. McSoupcans. How clever.
3. Amy Blair pretends as though the Eagles didn't earn their spot in the playoffs. Yes, they "sneaked" in. I'll admit, the Eagles got in against all odds...but they also won 4 of their last 5 games to get in...including a win over Amy's New York Giants in East Rutherford. Tony Romo also apparently shit the bed. That had nothing to do with the Eagles just flat out dominating the Cowboys in Week 17. Little bit of advice: Give credit where credit is due or just shut the fuck up and stop wasting our time.
4. According to Ms. Blair, the Giants are also an improved team since their Superbowl win. I didn't realize losing two of your best defensive players (Umenyiora and Strahan) and your biggest receiving threat (Plaxico Burress) led to an improved team. Giants are 8-1 this year with Plaxico. They're 4-3 without him. Now, maybe that has do to with Brandon Jacobs going down as well...we'll find out Sunday. But if you think Plaxico's absence won't make a difference in the playoffs, you're kidding yourself.
5. What's with the forced vulgarity? Do I curse? Fuck yeah I do. But Blair takes it to a new level. Examples:
"At the risk of beating a dead shitbird..."
This doesn't even make sense. Shitbird? Really? What does that even mean? Yeah, it's obviously a lame reference to the Eagles. Frankly, calling them the "Beagles" or the "Seagulls" is funnier than calling them the shitbirds...which isn't saying much.
"I'm all for superstition, but I'm not sure that looking like a fat homeless guy who just got his chin vomited on by Lindsay Lohan's cooter is exactly going to secure the win."
Ok. I'll admit, I laughed about the "looking like a fat homeless guy" line. But then the comment about having "his chin vomited on by Lindsay Lohan's cooter" was just unnecessary and not funny. This is a prime example of trying too hard and falling miserably short of comedy.
6. Lastly, Blair ends with a comment about throwing batteries at her. While I wouldn't put it past Philadelphia fans to do this to a player or opponent (her reference is supported in historical fact since Phillies fans did, indeed, throw batteries at J.D. Drew), I doubt we would waste any good batteries on this chick. She's not worth it. Just another uneducated Giants fan who wants to talk shit but doesn't know how. And trust me, I'm all for some trash talking, but can we keep some minimum level of intellect involved?
The Eagles and Giants have played twice this year already. Each team has won once. Personally, I think it will be a good game. I wouldn't expect anything less from a tough NFC East match-up.
