I only saw the last Eagle's touchdown and concluded that we need new refs and announcers.  Really?  OMG.  I don't know much about football as I never had much interest like my dad and sister and aunties, but still...really? 

Congratulations Eagles.  Goes to show you, never give up...success is on the horizon.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Bryan, wait until you see how this changes the city.  Even the cheese-steaks will taste better! ;D

Nice win, wife's numbers won $125 and I won $75. I was pulling for Philly tho no dedicated dog one way or the other; however, I didn't see why there was even any discussion over the Eagle's last touchdown....the dude had FOUR footsteps down over five yards and then clearly broke plane...if they challenged that as possession and called it back I'd never watch again if that's where the rules / officiating had gotten to.

My wife was bored with the announcers.  Al Michaels is just plain boring, no pizzaz.  And I liked Chris Collinsworth as a player, but I feel that he inserts his personal opinions too much into his color commentating.  He is definitely not pro-west coast.  Joe Buck would have been the only worse selection.

The "catch rulings" are in for some significant overview this coming off-season.  But I did find that the explanation given for the way the officials ruled on the last TD play was also the way I viewed it.  Some of the recent rules regarding "a completed forward pass" have been subject to a lot of interpretation, and therefore inconsistent.  And with the use of replay at 'frame by frame' speed that is available to the viewers, any argument could be supported for a questionable call.  And if one were to view the last play on a wide-view overhead angle, there could have been several flags thrown, for fouls on both sides.

Congratulations to the Eagles, Nick Foles, and Philadelphia; very deserving champions!!

All,
I'm "super" happy that the Eagles won! As a life long So. Arizonan loved watching our former Az Wildcat Nick Foles lead them to victory!!! What a game. I agree with John, all that talk about the last touchdown was silly!!! Huge difference between a regular rushing play and a scoring run..seems to me he clearly had possession and then broke the plane on the rush.....oh well..great game!!!
My wife and daughters won about $120 bucks in the pools at the party, but somehow seemed to forget that I gave them $75 or so to enter....all good, cuz everyone had a blast ;D

Well being from Mass. I was pulling for Pat's but it was a great game and pretty darn close could have gone either way but Eagles deserved it they played well !!!! One of there touchdowns was a bit shaky though you have to admit  !!!  Congrats !!!    John Taylor

Been an Eagles fan for a long time as I live only about an hour or so north of the city. Finally some vindication for a franchise that has produced some very good football teams over the years but never got over the hump. Hope it doesn't take another 67 years for a championship, as I won't make it.

Good one Joe, " commemorative Penn Greenie!" Nick Foles really kept his cool in the last quarter and to boot, made some real gutsy completion plays. Brady seemed to be relying on winning by doing everything perfect, being methodical and not taking any chances. He came pretty close...

Always liked Al Micheals. You can have Chris Collinsworth. Indeed to opinionated(kinda like me) and seems to show favoritism. Got beat as a wide reciever for the Bengales twice in super bowls by the 49'ers, back in the 80's. When he commentates on Niner games, seems like he ever got over it.

had to ask!  http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=24316.0

Yes Alan, you know me too well, but it need to be under these terms ;D

First, we already have one, its called the Spinfisher.
That reel has Green, White and Silver and the added plus,  its one of your favorite... a spinner ;) ;D

Anything over 100, having serial numbers, I would not be interested and of course I would need to fight with Decker for that #1 spot ;D.
Tony could make as many as he wish, but only 100 with serial numbers and only sold here.
The reel could be a 706 or 707 with some unique upgrades in there...I prefer the 707... just a thought ;D

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

tell tony!!!!   ;D
Tony is probably discussing it already 😄.
Seriously though, if this is going to happen, number 1 needs to go to you.
I would be good with having number 3😁...who knows, we might have a chance😏

Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.
