Big Deal, they still loss. Isn't this the point of the first two

Looking and performing are altogether different aspects, or don't

You are responding like a true Eagle Fan, or more liken to a staunch
Republican, i.e., no matter what the platform or who is running, you
will always vote Republican.  Cunningham has always shown us signs
of greatness, but they are for the most part, fleeting moments,
never seasons worth. Another viewpoint.

Have you heard the expression, "You're way off base!"?, well I am
further from living a shallow life. If you call me shallow, someone who has a 
pc at home and enjoys sports (especially football) and truly enjoys fan
fervent reactions to their team and/or favorite NFL players, and it
is based soley on the region they live in relation to the teams 
location/city/state, I find rather humorous.  My life is very
diversified, I enjoy photograhy and entering my photographs in local
contests, going to movies, working on my SUN network (at work), going out 
to eat, relaxing at home, especially on Sundays while watching the all 
pregame, ESPN football programs. I also have plenty of time for 
romancing, so if my life is shallow, then yours must be the pits. 

And no, I will not reciprocate in a flame war with you because if
you are to beleive everything you read and see, then you must be the
shallow person. Now, can you we discuss football and the elements that
make football a great game.
