Where have I been?

In case you were wondering why my posts have been few and far between, my passion for writing about Philly sports has waned.

It was a fun experience over the past few years writing for Phillypurge.com and I enjoyed most of it.

Due to the deteriorating condition of our nation and our economy I have been inspired to write about some other things; the nation, the economy, politics, news, you name it.

You can catch my new website at www.adamscircus.com

I hope to see all of you there. Thank you to all of you for supporting Phillypurge.com over the past few years.

Headed to the desert

Eagles dismantle the Giants 23-11 and head to the NFC Championship



For anybody who remembers the 2000 playoff game between the Giants and Eagles you have to still remain bitter over it.

The Giants reportedly stole the Eagles' offensive plays through tapping of the phones and refused to sell tickets to the Eagles fans.

That still burns my ass until today. Vindication occurred yesterday as the Eagles with McNabb at the helm knocked off the defending Super Bowl champs in their stadium. It felt far more better than two years ago when the Birds knocked them off with Garcia at the helm. The defining image of the Giants fan sleeping yesterday capped off a wonderful game and an amazing playoff run thus far.

In a playoff run that looks eerily similar to the Phillies' playoff run the star are aligning just the right way for the Eagles. This is the year of the underdog as with the exception of the Steelers, three of the top four seeds in the playoffs have been jettisoned in the Divisional Round. The Titans, Giants, and Panthers all bit the dust.

With the way the Eagles' defense is playing it doesn't matter if they struggle in the redzone. Head to Arizona and put the pressure on Warner and game, set, match.

It's going to be a fun week as the Eagles have now made it to the NFC Title game for the 5th consecutive time with McNabb and Reid together.
