Eagles 23, Giants 20

I'm just going to go ahead and say what everybody else is obviously thinking:

The biggest reason the Eagles won their playoff game today against the New York Giants?

#10.

Koy Detmer.

KOY.

IS.

OUR.

BOY.

See. David Akers knows. And that's not a typo in that picture. David Akers just doesn't feel the need to pronounce "ing" in its entirety when talking.

I missed the poor sadsack excuse for an NFL quarterback. He was clean of his neckbeard for today's game, but that's ok. I'm sure he can probably grow it back instantly at will. I expect the usual scuzz and fuzz stretching three inches below his chinstrap next week against New Orleans. I was actually planning on praising the virtues of Koy even if the Eagles didn't need a last second field goal to win (this entry would be funnier if all Koy did was hold for three extra points or something), but that makes it better anyway.

And speaking of the New Orleans game, can you ever remember the Eagles playing a game in which their opponent would so clearly be the sentimental favorite for 99% of the country? I mean damn, the Eagles had a good Cinderella story going this season, but New Orleans? Forget it. We might be stuck with more idiotic "Eagles fans are horrible people" stories this week just to remind us who the good guys are.
