The Streets of Philadelphia

And the comparison between the 2008 Eagles and the 2007 Giants comes to an end. Because to think you are similar to champions, you have to, um, win a championship.

Who’s The No. 1 Seed?

If Johnny Mathis were to write this blog entry for me, he would probably start it off with something like, “It’s beginning to feel a lot like last year, everywhere you go.”
