Brother in law is a South Jersey native and diehard Eagles fan.  They're bringing up my two nephews with mixed fandoms;  Red Sox, Celtics, & Eagles.

Needless to say, the family dynamic is going to be quite interesting for the next few weeks.

Last night, had a brief dream that the Super Bowl was being played, and Pats apparently started off well, but then the final score was Eagles 49, Patriots 20...  :o

Had to wake up from that nightmare  :laugh:

This past week felt kind of stress free since the SB isn't today, BUT now this upcoming week will feel nerve-wracking and tense. Can only imagine how the players feel in this time...

The Eagles have an elite and deep defensive line. They get interior pressure better than probably any other team in the league which is absolutely crucial against the Patriots. That said, I feel strangely confident about this game.

Was more worried about the Jags. Pats in a laugher.

Not Pats-Eagles related, but WOW.

Alex Smith traded to Washington Redskins for a player and picks.  :o

Dear Pats,

Can you PLEASE win the SB by a comfortable margin if you do.

My 19 year old heart really can't handle all these last minute thrills/heart attacks over the years   

 :laugh:

They said this last year, it was finally the one we could breathe through. LOL lets just enjoy the game.
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

So this happened.  Gotta love all these stories that come out of the woodwork during SB week.

Tom Brady has a scar on his quad from being bitten by a dog after practice. Some military members were using Patriots facilities and Brady happened to raise his arms above his head which cued one of their dogs to go at him. The handler grabbed the dog but it still got his leg.

So the way I initially saw it on Twitter, it made it sound like it happened today but now it seems like it happened in training camp a few years ago.  Either way, just a crazy story.

Thanks for your support. Now if only we could somehow turn back time and erase those Tyree and Manningham catches ... ;D

Not that there was much doubt, but Gronkowski has cleared the concussion protocol and will play in the Super Bowl.

Hopefully Brady and the Pats will be able to take advantage of this mismatch early in the game rather than falling behind by 25 points like last year!

I have a lot of hope they will take advantage of it. Philly is really good at taking wide receivers out of games but are not very good at slowing down TEs and running backs catching balls out of the backfield. Gronk, Lewis, and White should have big games. Also see a lot of WR screens happening. Hoping for a nice 10-14 point win.
