Kudos to Philly Sports Teams and Fans

An estimated 1,500 Philly sports fans and good Samaritans lined up to give blood in exchange for sports jerseys yesterday at the Wachovia Center. It was quite a scene to see so many dedicated individuals looking to help save lives yesterday.

Kudos should be given to the American Red Cross for running a smooth blood drive and to the Philadelphia Flyers, Philadelphia 76ers, Philadelphia Wings, and Philadelphia Phantoms for offering up free replica jerseys for all donors. This is their third year holding this blood drive. It's a win-win for all people involved and I hope it will continue and grow throughout the years.

Oh Well

Well, I stand corrected. Having predicted a playoff victory for the Eagles today, I must say that the Cards are deserving of a Super Bowl berth.

The Cardinals' offense was on a roll, and their defense, though not dominant, held their own. The Eagles gave a good fight, but got outplayed.

Some mysteries from the game:

-What happened to David Akers? He missed a field goal, extra point, and kicked a kick off out of bounds.

-What was Quentin Demps doing out there? He got burned several times and had a ridiculous penalty.

-How was there no pass interference on the Eagles' last pass of the game to Kevin Curtis? Maybe it wasn't a hack job, but seemed noticeable enough that a flag should have been called.

Well, whatever, I'm not going to go all sour grapes up in here. Eagles lost, time to move on.
