Andy Reid benching Donovan McNabb reminds me why I hate to love the Eagles
Shoot me now and put me out of my misery. The Oilers left my hometown Houston when I was a kid...wasn't that enough pain for one person to endure?
The Lord blessed me with an orthopedic surgery residency in Philadelphia at my beloved Temple University Hospital. My entire life changed. Temple Sports Medicine seemed to take care of every big name athlete on the philly scene.
Coach Chaney ruled the sidelines at McGonigle Hall. Soon the Sixers drafted an under sized kid out of Georgetown named Allen Iverson. Lenny Dykstra was a wild man and Darren Daulton, wow that guy 'owned' Manayunk. Randall Cunningham was well Randall Cunningham...need I say more? I ate my first soft pretzel and learned how to properly order a steak sandwich without getting cussed out for taking too long.
Needless to say, 'Illadelphia' hooked me. And now I can't kick this 'heroin'-like addiction that I have for the Eagles. I hate them. I love them. I hate them....all on the very same Sunday afternoon.
I think that Coach Reid benched Donovan (see how I'm on a first name basis as if we're BFF's?) just to make my reflux act up. Now Coach says that Donovan is 'my guy' and will start on Thanksgiving Thursday as I sit on the couch with my pants unbuttoned trying to breath.
The Eagles are trying to kill me...they know I've got reflux!
