That is, without a doubt, one of the dumbest and most esoteric things I’ve ever heard. People try way too damn hard to come up with these things, and other people read way too much into it when the 99 percent of the population that isn’t racist assholes uses the number 88 as the one between 87 and 89.

When I was a kid in the 1980s early 90s, ESPN would run the Super Bowl highlights marathon the night before that year’s game. My dad (an Eagles and Philadelphia sports fan since birth) would go out of his way to avoid the SB XV highlight show. I never understood it. It was one of the few moments of anything resembling…
I do not give a shit. The Eagles could line up 2 Girl Scouts, 2 Brownies and a Campfire girl and I would still root for them. I have been a fan since I found out what a football was. I love Philadelphia and I love the Eagles.
I’m guessing the roaring, bulging, crotch grabbing and epithet hurling were all before you even got into the stadium.
Amen, brother.
The enduring popularity of the Brian Dawkins jersey amazes me. He hasn’t played in Philly in seven years and his jersey is still the most popular one in town.
I don’t think there’s ever been a bleaker Super Bowl matchup than Eagles vs. Patriots. Talk about a real “whoever wins, we lose” situation.
Sadly, we’ve had almost 100 years of every Philly team losing and STILL don’t have a Super Bowl. Selling Philly’s collective soul to the devil for a Super Bowl win would be like trying to sell the soul of Jeffrey Dahmer. The devil would look at the deal, tell you he’s getting it anyway, and either offer you a two-pack…
Please explain this to the class, because I’m a 38-year white man who has lived in the south half his life and have no fucking idea how the number “88” — particularly in regards to Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s race car — is in any way a blatant and well-known piece of racist imagery.
Not sure where you people watch your movies, but at the theaters I go to there is always a crew (i.e., two ushers) standing next to a 55-gallon garbage can as the credits are rolling, just waiting for the place to clear out to go through the aisles and clean up. If I notice them and it’s convenient (i.e., they haven’t…
He’d certainly fit right in with ISIS, being the Ayatollah of Rock ‘n Rolla.
Well, that’s a fine idea unless it’s a black fraternity. Then it becomes a hate crime.

Why do we need Amsterdam when we’ve now got Denver?
The 75 percent number is actually lower than his usual rate.
The NFL just launched its next bounty investigation on the Redskins coaching staff.
The last time a quarterback drafted by the Chiefs led the team in passing yardage was 1980. In that 35-year span, they’ve drafted a total of 12 quarterbacks, including three this century. The last time they took a QB in the first round they had the seventh pick in a loaded draft that produced three Hall of Fame QBs,…
Even a lot of newer guns. If it’s a busload of them (probably a couple hundred), even at $100 or $200 a pop as a wholesale price, there’s a lot of money sitting in there if they’re in good condition and still fire.
A necessary move, and a good move to get anything back for a guy well past his prime, but still a sad day. It just leaves Carlos Ruiz and Ryan Howard as the last two links to the glory years. Too bad one of them is an aging fan favorite who can’t hit, and the other is Ryan Howard.
