Fly, Eagles, Fly

I'm not a huge football fan, and I don't know the rules of football half as well as I do baseball, But I do know a great game when I see it, and that was a great game. At first it looked like it was going to be a blowout for the Eagles, Then the Patriots came back, back, back, until it looked like they had it in the bag, once again.

And then,,,and then,

This was a game I am glad I watched. Part of me was rooting for the Patriots, right until the end, if for no other reason than the young daughter of a college friend is a huge fan. But, alas, it was Melinda's day to be disappointed, and Philadelphia's turn to celebrate.

As a Mets fan, I am well acquainted with losing, And I also know the joy of winning, no matter how unexpectedly.

So, fly, Philadelphia, fly. Enjoy it. Embrace it. Hold on to that joy!
