Probable kiss of death: Go Giants
See I'm a Packer fan and if the Giants beat the Eagles it helps my team by giving them a bit of wiggle room. So I will apologize to Giants fans in advance and say Go Giants, beat the Eagles.
Truth be told, I don't really like either team, but as I said, my motives are selfish.

1. Yo Bluzmann
what's wrong with selfish motivation? I want my Iggles to romp and stomp tonight, with no apologies. With the Saints (My other team) giving me a heart attack two weeks in a row I could use a blowout from Andy's Birds.

8. Yes
I was born in Philly, Granpaw used to take me to Eagle games in the early 60's, returned their in the 80's for a tour in the Navy. Have spent most of the past 20 years living near New Orleans, picked up the fandom of the Saints by mass inundation of media but never let go of the Eagles.

9. Well it's a good thing you didn't move a lot...
You'd have 5 teams.

OK--- here's the question. You're on a boat and it's sinking. You have to push one team in the water to survive... Which one is it.

10. I did move a lot
I was in the Navy for 24 years. I never became a Falcons Fan, never became a Chargers Fan, never became a Redskins fan, never became a 49ers or Raiders fan (although I'm currently suffering for Darren McFadden.) I was born an Eagle Fan and am daily bombarded with positive Saints info and have been for years. They've been a fun team to keep up with in the good and bad years and their hardcore fans are an insane never ending soap opera.

I'll let the teams play a game, the winner gets to stay in the (apparently very big) boat.

5. I guess it was the kiss of death
But console yourself. East Texas' Team is no longer in first place.

Now, I'll tell you what, Bluzeman. If you wait until the first day of baseball season to say "Go Giants," then we'll see about getting it the proper mojo to make it work.
