Iggles tied at half  
can they really pull this off?  
I’m afraid to hope

Congrats to the Pats.

Who gives a rat’s ass?  
Ooh! They can throw a football!  
Overpaid morons.

Screw the Patriots  
Reynolds and a grizzly were  
The real winners.

Iggles blew it  
We will revel in their pain  
In fair New England

I am most surprised  
That I can compose these verses  
Being so shitfaced

Please insert a “The”  
In the line before “Iggles”  
Boy, am I hammered

Let’s talk about ads  
They’re the only part of the  
Game that I enjoy.

Like I said before,  
Federal Express was the  
best- just like they said.

Mickey Rooney’s ass:  
Was it worse than the sexy  
Chick Tobasco used?

Mastercard unites  
Charlie, Giant, Mr. Clean.  
I am unimpressed.

Fox’s _24_  
Ads were great, unlike last years’  
Spots for CBS.

Anheuser-Busch spends  
Over ten million this year,  
And they end up with

Talking cockatoo,  
Non-horse Clydesdales, Cedric’s dance  
And some weird new beer.

Strangest contest tie:  
Volvo’s space trip, and McD’s  
Auctioned Lincoln fry.

[CareerBuilder.com](http://CareerBuilder.com)  
Has some funny commercials  
Set in an office.

Funny subtle gag:  
Yeknom Enterprises name  
Of the company.

Pepsi has some ads  
Featuring popular songs  
Spilling out of pop.

Strangest thing in ad:  
Gwen Stefani sampling from  
_Fiddler on the Roof_.

The Visa Check Card:  
Spider-Man and Underdog  
Together at last.

Rugby Gladys Knight,  
Santa Claus for Emerald Nuts,  
bunch of other stuff.

That’s the end of that.  
This helped me remember some:

Tried to stick the name  
Of monkey co. in haiku.  
That was a mistake.

They’re a website with  
A six-syllable name.  
Can’t start one with that.

In hindsight, should have  
Apostrophed name as such:

A quite boring game  
Not the blowout I had thought  
At least it ends well.

Nothing more pleasant  
Than to see the dreams of fans  
In Philly snuffed out.

Hope they fall apart  
25 more years sounds right  
Until their next taste.

Why the bad karma?  
Maybe the drunk behavior  
Your fans are famous for.

Philly fans are rude  
And very mean to others.  
HA HA!! Eagles lost!

You know, the Celtics

Another Trophy?

Cookoff disaster!

Fourth out of four.

Donovan McNabb-  
Quit throwing the damn football  
To the Patriots!

Dear Bill Belichick,  
You are the _Patriots_ coach  
Get back over there!

Only thing better  
Than a Giants big game win  
Is an Eagles loss.

Three title games lost  
And now a blown Super Bowl  
New name is EagLLLLes.  
Hey CBCD,  
Where abouts do you hail from?  
Share a beer next year?
