As a die hard Philadelphia fan, I would like to laugh in the face of every television corporate exec who prays for championship match ups between big market teams. [Lowest Rated Series Ever](http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/mlb/2000/world_series/news/2000/10/27/series_ratings_ap/) So evidently evey single person not in New York, Northern Jersey and Connecticut was out doing something else with their life other than watching this unholy union between two demon spawn. Tomorrow morning the guy you pass on the street corner, the guy in the suit with the coffee cup, could be one of several high ranking Fox execs! 😉 ---

Well, **Grendel** , this other Philly sports die hard fan watched it, in that vain hope that something neat would happen. Like, y’know, spontanous combustion or Chuck Knoblach playing second. An attack on the Five Boroughs by those aliens from _Independence Day_ would’ve been nice, too. Ahh well, at least the **Eagles** are going to flatten the New Jersey Giants on Sunday… ---

New JERSEY Giants? INFIDEL! They’re going to CRUSH the Eagles. ---

My one friend from New York was praying for a no hitter by Leiter. My other friend was praying for Jeter to hit for the cycle. Me? I was praying for a natural disaster. Godzilla or Mothra, earthquake or typhoon, locusts or plague, it didn’t matter to me. I wasn’t feeling picky. Now I am praying that on Sunday there will be no natural disaster in New York. Specifically, no “Thunder and Lightning”. I really hope the Iggles and Donovan McNabb coughcoughbestyoungQBintheleaguecoughcough kick some behind. I mean, that’s not too much to ask is it? I have been a good boy this year! ---

That’s strange, 'cause I swear that “NJ” on their helmets looks an awful lot like an “NY”. ---

Considering the educational status of most New Jerseyites, I wouldn’t be surprised if they accidentally put a Y in place of a J. ---

I knew that Satan was celebrating for the Yanks. Then I realized that our SDMB Satan was celebrating for them as well. ---
