Looking for Eagles' Season Tickets? Just Hang in There...

For those of my fellow diehard Eagles fans who have a yearning to own a season ticket, you may have to wait a little while to obtain them.

As a matter of fact, if you recently put your name on the waiting list to be eligible to purchase a ticket, then according to various sources such as this AOL Sports article you will have to wait approximately 4,000 years to obatin one.

So good luck in getting one and give me a call in 6007 when you get your Iggles tixx in the mail. (Hopefully the Birds will have won a a Super Bowl by then...)

You Otta-watch the Phils Triple-A Squad

In case you were busy doing other things, like watching the Sixers sit idle at the free agent table or catching the latest injury update at Eagles' training camp, the Phils Triple-A Ottawa Lynx team is suffering through this season with a record of 46-72, a mere 21 1/2 games out of first place. Youch.

On the bright side, there is much to be hopeful for in the way of future entries into the Phillies' Classic Names of Fame, as found on the Lynx' roster, such as:
  • Our old buddies Eude Brito, Yoel Hernandez, and Fabio Castro
  • Dusty Wathan, son of former Royal John Wathan
  • Bubba Nelson, who may be drunk in this photo
  • Gookie Dawkins (real name Travis, no apparent relation to Mookie Wilson)
So while there's not much hope in the way of winning as far as the Lynx go this year, at least we have some great names in the waiting.
