I just want it over. **Intaglio** has been my ear pretty much every other hour about the _Iggles_. After the Stupor Bowl, maybe I’ll get to rest for a bit… 😉 😛 ---

Yeah, we have a real skyline now, _but at what cost?!?!_ ( 😉 ) Besides, at least [Billy gets dressed up](http://www.actionsportsamerica.com/images/billy.jpg) for the hometown teams… Esprix ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Jerrybear \* > I am also surprised that there is not at least one weekend off between the conference championships and the Super Bowl. It seems like at least one time, there were TWO weekends off. There’s never been two weekends of no football in between the AFC/NFC championships (or before that, the AFL/NFL title games) and the Super Bowl. The norm has been one weekend off in between: that is, the Super Bowl would be played two weeks after the conference championships. On several occasions, there’s only been a week in between (no weekend off). It has generally made for a livelier game: according to a radio commentator this morning, the average margin of victory in Super Bowls without an extra week was 9 points; in the others, it was 17. It just seems that one team or the other usually gets emotionally flat in between games, with the extra week. This, IMHO, is especially true when the Super Bowl team was perhaps not the most talented team in its conference, but got hot at the right time. ---

Count your blessings, intaglio; at least Philly made the NFC championship game. You could be a Colts fan. Then you would know the depths of humilitation and ignomious shame. ---

Longtime Bucs fan here. Just stopped in to say - Losers!! Nice 4 point favorites! Where are your precious Eagles now? Good riddance to you and your rat infested toilet of a home field and your backstabbing, hooligan fans, who likely won’t be able to afford seats at your new generic cookie-cutter of a stadium. And the Colts? The Dungy curse is on you! Prepare for 7 years of might-have-beens! Your playoff humiliation was only an appetizer! I dedicate our Super Bowl berth to our former colleagues in the NFC Central, all of whom are at home now with the bitter ashes of their season scattered about their feet. This goes doubly so for the filthy, filthy Packers. [Aku] HA ha ha ha ha [/Aku] ---

RTA: This is one Colts fan who will gladly take the Dungy curse over the worthless, gutless Mora curse. Jack: It’s their first Super Bowl. Be gentle. 😃 ---

Fuckin’ VET! They can’t implode it because of the subway tunnels and other geological reasons. They have to take it down piece by piece, welders and wrecking balls. We don’t even get the pleasure of blowing the goddam thing to smitherenes. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fucking-philadelphia-eagles/149696.md?page=2)
