Asked whether he will say anything to Eagles wide receiver Freddie Mitchell, who upset the Patriots' secondary last week when he said, "I've got something for him." (Harrison)
Philadelphia Eagles fans turned their passion for their team into a passion for buying and there are no signs of a slow-down. Online store NFLshop.com has moved 13,000 official Philadelphia Eagles hats and T-shirts, a three-day record...lets face it, Eagles supporters don't have many opportunities to buy Super Bowl gear...lets hope their purchases don't mark a memorable loss...
Tom Brady had a 103 degree fever the night before the playoff game with the Pittsburgh Steelers...no wonder the Patriots quarter-back was on fire.
Ben Roethlisberger, the Pittsburgh rookie quarterback, has won all fourteen of his NFL starts with his team winning fifteen in a row. Tom Brady has won all seven of his NFL career playoff starts with New England. One streak must end. Roethlisberger looks rusty but Steelers to edge it?...wait until Sunday.
The Philadelphia Eagles find themselves one win away from an elusive trip to the Super Bowl - for the fourth straight season. Michael Vick and the Atlanta Falcons are standing in their way. When the Eagles last took a Super Bowl title, there were barely any "X's" in the Roman numerals and people didn't even have cell phones... it was 1980..
The days of Superbowl domination are gone...or so we thought... With the introduction of the salary cap and other changes in the game the days of back to back Super Bowl wins or dominance (like the Steelers in the late 70's) are rare. Yet here we have a team...a real team...who could just bring that back. With their "big game" mentality the Patriots could be on their way - but should they stumble at Pittsburgh who's to say the Steelers won't start a mini dynasty of their own..
