But the Eagles only have to do it once.  Just one time.

I'm flat out picking Eagles. You can't NOT in my position. They really could win. In with a shot despite the Belly and Brady thing. The fact it's against the greatest coach and player of all time. Who beat the Eagles in the superbowl ten years ago. In the context of injuries galore and coming from last in the NFC East the year before. It's too dramatic and magical not to get swept up in.

    It's an exciting time ... however,  your team has been high in contention from the get-go.  The Packers made a late run at it in 2010/11 so it was a constant 'lose-or-go-home attitude.  It was only when we got to the SB that I genuinely believed we could win it.  And we beat a great team (Pittsburgh) to cap it all off.

    The Foles thing has been the red-herring.  No one was foreseeing what has transpired.  That's the magical bit.  Written off as a questionable stand-in,  Foles can be the hero.

    True. From about week 5 or so when they were 4-1 having only lost to KC everyone was positive. Then they beat the Panthers and from there it's been superbowl run this and superbowl run that.

    I do remember that year. Matter of fact that was the year I fell in love with the Eagles, watching Vick. And who did you beat in Wild Card week? In those days Rodgers wasn't yet the mythical superstar he is now. I was actually living in the states and was a bit like you, once they got there it seemed like it was theirs... in the leadup though, they were just another wild card team.

    Foles is a funny one for Eagles faithful. A lot of people got on his bandwagon when he started for us cos of the ridiculous numbers in his breakout year. Most knew he didn't have that killer instinct... and had some holes in his game. After he was booted, Philly sports radio has laughed at him for two years and how bad he was under Fisher. Even when he was signed as backup most had a giggle. When he took over from Wentz, the naysayers pretty much all still wrote him off. His biggest critic ate his words this week... but maintains that Foles isn't a superstar. And that the game he played last weekend shouldn't be expected with any regularity. As much as we're singing his praises... it WAS just one good game. People were ready to crown Keenum as the Vikings starter for next season until he laid an egg against the Eagles. Now he's back in the pack again. I'm confident if Foles throws three picks, people will most certainly let him fade back into quarterback obscurity.

    Surely you wouldn't listen to that when there's heaps of streaming radio stations.

    I’m now a casual so I’m hoping to work, which means I should be home to watch it at 2pm.

    Gotta try and avoid the scores tho ?

    Cousins out, Smith in. The money they paid for Smith could have been spent on Kirk a couple of years ago and they'd have a younger, better QB. Muppets.

    Zebras can get [censored] - one penalty against the Pats (on a punt return). Clearly they never hold. Cheats were also smiling after a Pats TD - they don't even try to hide it.

    I have an awful feeling I'm going to be cutting and pasting this in a few days.

    Here's the annual Super Bowl Prop Bets Podcast with Bill Simmons & Cousin Sal

    The podcast starts off with a story about a very interesting encounter that Bill Simmons had earlier in the week and they then discuss many of the 140 prob bets. 

    I haven't listened to the majority of the podcast yet but it's usually good for a laugh.

    3 - JV7,  Gorgoroth

    I really should be picking the Pats to win as that's who I would pick if I had to put money on the game.  But to make it interesting and because I really would like the Eagles to win I'll go for an historic Philadelphia victory. 

    Eagles 24  Pats 21

    Gronk to score first TD.

    Cox or Ertz MVP.

    Brady to throw an interception and get sacked twice.

    Ajayi to score twice.

    Sooo... to even have a chance of winning the picks I have to take Pats. Which is what I feel is THE pick. I reckon 60% chance they win, 40% chance Eagles win.

    In a dome so it'll be very very high scoring. Eagles have enough weapons, and Brady will torch Eagles' secondary.

    Pats 42 Eagles 37

    The latest 30 for 30 (The Two Bills) is worth a look in preparation for the SB ... it may not be up for long but being a doco,  it could be. 

    Tells the story of the unique relationship between Bill Parcells & Bill Belichick ...

    Yeah good luck @Dappa Dan

    The Eagles can win but they can't afford any costly errors against these Patriots.   The game isn't over till it's over either.

    Can't give up a 5 yard penalty in the redzone against the Pats ... excellent drive by the Eagles & Foles but only 3 points.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
