Eagles vs. Giants

People write me letters all the time, or they stop me at the convenience store and ask, "why are you a Saints fan?" I refuse to answer them.

But let's examine the Eagles-Giants game at little closer.

Eagles fans are like that annoying kid who lives a couple of blocks away who always comes over and ruins your basketball or kickball game by bragging and trying way too hard even though he stinks at both games. You know the type: you tell him you just got a puppy, and he tells you he just got a mini-bike. You tell him your family is going to the Boardwalk and he tells you his family owns the Boardwalk.

Giants fans are however an entirely different beast. They're like the rich kid down the street who's mom is always driving him around in their new European car and she looks and acts like she's all hot and everything and you know that's just horrible to contemplate, plus he always has the best sports equipment. Which you could live with except he is always reminding you of both. Girls think he's cute which is hard to fathom because he's such a dork. The problem with this kid is he's obnoxious but he usually plants himself on the winning team so there is no way to throttle his obnoxiousness back.

I am glad the Eagles beat the Giants because listening to Eagles fans gloat will be a needed change from listening to Giants fans gloat. I'll probably root for the Cardinals next week because they're like regular people - they lose almost all the time but sometimes they get a shot.

By the way, just like in baseball and the AL, I really don't recognize the AFC so I can't write about it.
