Emails Exchanged Between WWOD? and an Eagles fan on Monday, About Sunday

FredEx4Life: Bittersweet Sunday. Happy for Chad or pissed about the Jets? I'm obviously happy the Eagles are in but not so much about the fact that the Andy & Donovan show will back for at least another year.

WWOD?: I am happy for Chad. For what it's worth. At the very least, that win further solidifies everything that was great about him when he was a Jet. Three playoff appearances and consistency. I'd take it now. That's for sure. By the second half, we knew the Jets weren't going to the playoffs and I think the worst thing that could have happened would have been a meaningless fourth quarter score to send the game to OT and then a win. Which would have ended the Dolphins' season and sent the Pats to the playoffs. That would have been terrible.

And, honestly, hold onto Andy and Donovan while you can. They may not be best-ever great but this team has been good to very good for a long time. They may make way too many mistakes to ever get too confident and they may have missed their best chances to win it all but you've been able to watch a lot of Eagles playoff games. Mostly because of those two guys. That is something.

Of course, this is coming from a Knicks/Jets/Mets fan who has never had a team win a championship since he's been old enough to know the difference. So, maybe my sights are set a little low.

Also .... I just saw online that the sixers are up 72-36 at halftime on your boys. What the F? How the hell do they already have 72 points?

that was the worst loss of the season. it won't get nearly the attention that blowout to the C's in november got because only seventy-five people actually watched last night's game since it wasn't on national television, but it was the worst. getting beat up by the best team in the conference is one thing, getting shellacked by the 08 Sixers is something else entirely. last night was the low point for me. thanks, for that.

at least the suns/lakers game helped me wash the knicks stink from my eyeballs. lets go mets.
