will we ever win?

Owens is gone

The latest depressing chapter in Philadelphia sports history came to its familiar end today as the Eagles said good-bye to Terrell Owens. At the same time the announcement was being made, a small tremor shook the Delaware Valley as hope slammed into the earth at 3 times the speed of sound. Scientists said the impact could have been worse if this was a unique event, but because the Philadelphia region is overly familiar with these types of disasters there was only slight perturbations and most people just shrugged their shoulders and continued on with their day. Some experts said that if this type of situation had happened in the mid 80s shortly after Pete Rose and Moses Malone had taken their respective teams to championships, today's event might have had more of an impact. But many years of failure have passed since that era and the recent Eric Lindros event of 2000 left the region well prepared for the worst. "People have no memory of teams bringing in marquee players that bring home a championship, and we are very fortunate in that regard," another expert said, "This could have been a lot worse."
