The lucky Eagles socks are now 4 for 4

I’ve mentioned elsewhere (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb...threadid=146833) that I have a very powerful pair of lucky socks. Certain QB-protecting rituals were performed (the nature of which I’m not at liberty to describe) and yesterday’s game ups my streak to 4 for 4.

Iggles fans – you’re welcome.

Please please please keep the lucky sock ritual going. Only 6 more to go.

Every year since I was old enough to remember, my dad has been promising to take me to the Super Bowl if the Eagles were in it. For much of my life, this has been a joke of a promise.

But let me tell you, he was sweating pretty hard at halftime of the NFC championship game last year.
