  1. Hey everyone,

    I know it has been ages since I've posted, but I was watching the July 4 Wawa Welcome America: Independence Day celebration in Philly a week ago, and Jazzy really was on full display (along with the Roots). I DVR'd it and had a heck of a time trying to transfer to my computer - but it looks like someone beat me to the punch.

    Alas, they didn't allow embedding, so here's the link. Start watching at marker 5:55...Jazzy has a 5 minute solo. It was just awesome. Watching some of the guys on stage in just shock was great.

    Cheers!

  2. I thought that most eagles fans were willing to give Kolb the chance..

    Well here's an exaggerated analogy. The extremists in the Middle East get the most coverage, but tend to be the minority in the religions they profess. So do the loudest Eagles fans. They are a vocal minority who are controversial so they appeal to the press more than the rational fan.

  3. Yeah man...I just think it makes the case that Peyton's beatable when Dmac and the birds go for it in 2011!!!

    I just hope we keep DMac so we could make another run at it since ESPN's rumoring that he's on the trading block along with Vick and Kolb, Colts basically been in the same boat as us in that they usually dominate the NFL during the regular season over the last 10 years but come up short in the playoffs... As I think more about it, really though the one team you could compare the Colts of the '00s most to right now is the 1990s Atlanta Braves of baseball, they did win that one SB in '07 just like the Braves won one WS in '95 despite all the winning seasons....

    I'm with you on Donovan. I'm a big time loyalist to him...Larry Fitgerald was quoted yesterday at 610 WIP: "How do [the Eagles] turn a quarterback away that's taken you to the promise land every single year? I mean he's been in the league 11 years, eight playoff appearances. Name me another quarterback that's done that, besides Peyton Manning."

    I'd give him an extension akin to what Manning gets. Many years. I don't want Kolb and Vick's not worth it.

  4. I dated a girl and realized a similar 'situation' within the first few weeks of our relationship. I can't speak to much more, other than it may have caused our relationship to be very abbreviated....

    To this day my friends and I get a kick out of it all. I would say though that her issue was not as excessive as you seemed to describe.

    Usually a friend will remind me with one simple phrase, "Dental floss"........ Yeah, yuck.

  5. Yo Tim, how we see the "last posts since you visited"? I see that we can look at recently added, and also see new stuff for each subject of the forum (caught in the middle, willywood, etc) but how bout all inclusive?

    Thanks!

  6. Bulls ran out of gas in Game 7 but I gotta give it up to the Celtics for pulling it out, they're gonna have a tough time with the Magic though, I thought that the Sixers did a good job this year considering that Elton Brand missed most of the season, many critics thought they wouldn't even make the playoffs, if he's healthy and they try to bring Iverson back next year to go along with Iguodalia and T. Young, that'd be a nice lineup, they could make a run for the title

    I'd love to have Iverson back, but no one else would. I think the team has no chemistry and Brand has so far been a bad investment (they were losing awfully when he was healthy). I think having Iverson would be good for people like me, and for selling tickets, but I don't know if anyone believes that would position them towards a title since the team is run-and-gun with so many holes.

  7. I know there are quite a few MLB and NFL fans out there. I'm just reaching out to the group, seeing how you all feel, especially the other Philly natives. For those of you who don't know, Harry Kalas was one of the top (I'd say easily the number 1) baseball announcers in history. He was the Myron Cope, the Harry Caray of Philadelphia, but a bit more with all the national notoriety he also held as the voice of NFL films.

    I spent every summer of mine with Harry's voice tuned while playing outside or chilling inside. I let him take me on the amazing ride that was this past postseason. I didn't get to hear his final pitch live, as I was at the game, but I got to be there live, as he sung "High Hopes" with the crowd after we won the World Series.

    Harry Kalas died yesterday in the announcing booth an hour or so before the game in DC started between the Nationals and the Phils.

    I, and many of my family and friends, feel so lost without the deep, edged voice to guide us through our summers...
