Tracking Andy Reid & TO After the Quarter
Okay, the Eagles are entering their second quarter of the season this weekend. And, heck, they've built on the most exciting preseason ever by starting with the most exciting season in at least a decade. Geez, this is at least two seasons in a row where we as Philly fans get to look forward to more than just beating the Cowboys. And, what's also better than last year's performance in the first quarter is that our team is pretty darned healthy right about now (someone knock on wood, please).
I thought this would be a good time to not forget about TO and our beloved, Andy, though. No, not just because AR wrote this recent wonderful piece on how special the media is (which was an apologetic on why he has been so boring in press conferences over the past five years). But, if you'll recall in the preseason's TO "tights" episode, AR did promise that if TO scored 15 TD's, AR would personally wear the forbidden tights to practice. So, what's he got, 5 so far? Project that over 3 more quaters and it looks like AR will be wearing tights in practice by the end of the season. What is even more pleasant is that TO has been a good boy so far (do you still have that wood nearby?). Combine that with the mutual love affair between him and the fans so far (one of the highlights of attending those first two games was watching that relationship click), and we've got Philly's all-time favorite athlete who will not be topped if the Birds can capture the Superbowl in January.
Fly, Eagles, Fly!
