They're baaaaack! You know'em. You love'em. Those loyal Philadelphia Eagles fans who continue to honor the team with extreme fandom no matter what the cost or record. This year will be no different than past years in our undying loyalty to the team with the best record in the NFL in the past five years. Can your team boast such a consistent winning percentage? NOOOO!
So bring it and bring "mucho smacko" as our spanish speaking friends say, 'cause we have months of smack to give (all free of charge of course).
In honor of the start of camp and the pending season I have decided to make a sacrifice to the "gods of football." There is a 2004 Absolute Brad Johnson GU Jersey card for sale by me on Ebay here - Brad "who am I, where am I, who ordered the veal cutlet" Johnson . There is one day left and no bidders. It starts at $2. If the card does not sell I will burn it and display the charred remains right here.
So what's it gonna be Bucs fans? Will you let the man who won your 1 ring and then faded back to mediocrity burn, or will you save this priceless
piece of history?
Of course an Eagles fan could buy it and seal the card's fate.
Eagles fans get free shipping.
Bring it...'nuff said.

If I win - BURN IT ... no need to ship it.
...and they're off!
Entire Philadelphia Eagles All-Time Roster Super Bowl Rings: Zero
Burn the card if you like...it won't take away from the fact he has more rings than McChoke, err, I mean McNabb.
Here's to you Cowpokie fans and why we all despise your team.
So You're A Born C**kroach
We Take It Anywhere
has one more super bowl ring than does any Eagle player. Reid was last seen shining Gruden's shoes and the bucs players were
hangin out at their second home...Lincoln Finacial field.
The NFC sucked big time last year and you all still couldn't get it done. You had one of the "greatest" recievers off all time and you
still have only the hair on your knuckle to show for it.
You will get punked this year and punked hard. I only wish that you all have enough wins to met us on the playoffs this year but Im
sure you won't, and if you do manage to squeak out past the oh so powerful Cowgirls and redskins, you will probably get punked
by the NFC South in the first round before you even get a sniff of our stadium.
Guess who has an offense this year?? Yep thats right, along with the same D that shut you all out the last time we played you. You won't
even see the bucs this year because they are so fast and will be blowing the doors off so fast that the third stringers will be in during
garbage time.
wait, the time is 3:21 EST and Shaun Kings STILL has more rings than your enitire team and also has more of a chance to win another
We own you , and you know it, why not just give up like your boy McNadd did?? You booed him when he joined your team and you
will boo him when he leaves your team! Check your fingers Eagle fans...NADA (that spanish for "you suck"!)
Thanks

Talk about poor responses.
A few months ago you were pissin' and moanin' about what a tough schedule the Bucs will have.
Your ring is tarnished. King left for greener pastures. Johnson pissed it away as we all knew he would and Reid would spit on Gruden's shoes as soon as look at them.
The Bucs still have two more years to get back to the playoffs. By then the ESPN announcers will say "and the one hit wonder Tampa Bay Bucs have finally crawled back into the playoffs, but far too late to establish credibility for their Super Bowl win."
Enjoy your continued rerun on the "bright orange gay pirate Steve Young Vinny Testaverde" days.
BTW - Shaun King is not listed on any NFL roster. I'd say the Bucs chances are closer to his.
At least you'll be able to buy tickets for cheap again this year. I may take the drive myself....I like to watch Pop Warner football.
GO EAGLES!!!!!
Andy Reid would give any portion of his anatomy (and hell, let's admit, he's got a LOT to give!) to trade places with Gruden. Reid will go down as the biggest choke-time coach in history, with McNabb as the biggest choking QB in history - how many chances will it take him to close escrow?
You talk about your Eagles' current playoff runs, but discount the fact the Bucs had their own run of playoff appearances as well. Just happens the Bucs SEALED A SUPER BOWL WIN while the eagles, having the most talented players in the league last year, couldn't play as a team and win it all.
Yes the Bucs have been awful the last 2 years - losing those 4 draft picks in the first and second rounds 2 years in a row has hurt - but a tradeoff gladly taken to win the Lombardi.
Hmm...would I have preferred to not win it all, and been competitive the last 2 years, or the situation the Bucs are in (super bowl trophy and all)? I think even you, eagle fans, know the answer.
Not the Bucs ... I will bet either you or Axtell that the Bucs will have a losing record this season.
<< <i>they do have a coach whose sneer and luck ran out >>
Better than having a coach who never ran out of philly cheesteak sandiwches and never got a ring huh?
go falcons
<< <i>sorry to break up the circle jerk, but you do realize the eagles will be 0-1 after week 1, right?
go falcons >>
Are the falcons going to be able to put together back to back winning seasons this year? I mean it would be the first time in history of the franchise and all.

<< <i>I love it, you give Gemmy hell for bringing up all the "yankee history", yet when a team has a weak history, you're all over it. Waffles, can we bring up history or not?
About the only other team that has a shot in the NFC south is Carolina and Vick owns them...
Brian >>
C'mon is your memory that bad?
And yes, the Falcons will go 9-7 or better...
Brian
You had to admit, though, it's pretty interesting that they've never had back to back winning seasons, though. And I think they are the team that is most dependent on a single player (vick), much more so than any other team in the NFL.
Also, I've heard reports he still is having difficulties with the west coast offense...I know it's the first week of camp and all, but the troubles I am hearing are supposedly deep and troubling.
Why does Mora insist on running an offense down Vick's throat that he obviously isn't going to pick up? Isn't the mark of a good coach being able to mold your coaching strategy on the talent around him?
Ron Mexico...err, Michael Vick will never live up to the expectations. He does not have it in him.
He does however have the capacity to spot an STD in a crowd.
<< <i>cornholio - lil wager on week one? >>
it depends on what you want to wager. if money, i'll think about it, but probably won't. i try to avoid betting $ on my teams as it can be tough to differentiate what i want to happen from what i think will happen. though vegas will probably consider the game close to 50/50. i'll bet something harmless like an "avatar" or "signature picture" bet though.

You had better brush up on your Bucs history. One playoff appearance in the first how many years? You guys rode that one for another 10 years, but hey old habits die hard right?
I would trade the Eagles record of success for the Bucs record any day. The Lombardi Trophy will come to Philly and the whole record will put the Bucs to shame. It's another Elway story, keep trying and finally succeed. It makes the hungry years more valuable.
Keep enjoying your cheap win while you suffer miserably through another losing season.
What you do not understand is that Eagles fans have been there and can relate to Bucs fans. The Bucs will begin their 30th season and most of those 30 years have been miserable.
I won't go back to the old days, where the last true expansion teams (along with the Seahawks) the Bucs went from losing it's first 26 games to NFC championship in 3 years. Unreal...those were the days when the other teams didn't have to give up any players to the expansion teams, and the new teams were forced to struggle to find players...and it (obviously showed).
That being said, after a long run of awfulness, the Bucs under new owner Malcom Glazer returned to the playoffs in 1997. Playoff appearances in 1999, 2000, 2001, and of course the run in 2002. So hardly a one year run.
that is what I meant ... some of the anti-Philly guys were good sports last year, so we will add you to the list as well.
Axtell - wanna bet on the Bucs record next year? Over/under 8 wins?
Sure hope you don't write history books for a living.
Listen, the Bucs first 25 years were dismal and as a fan you have to face up to that.
You don't have the option of parsing a year here or there.
Fact is the last five years have been the only competitive years in Bucs history, and resulted in a cheap win that will not come for another 30 years.
If you would like to forget the "old days" then pick an older team.
No money bets for me but something "harmless" - Count me in on that one - Maybe something like the winning team's picture in all posts from the minute after the loss on Monday Night to the start of the losing team's next game - which would be approximately one week. I think a beautiful Eagles team photo would look great in Brian's posts. I wouldn't like posting a Falcon's team photo for a week, but I could hack it. However if I had to post a Cowboy's team photo for a week, I would literally be non-stop puking the whole week.
The Falcons are good but they're not ready to beat the Eagles.
Is it a go Brian?
<< <i>

>>
Man, did you even read my post? Within three years of their inception (1976) they were in the NFC championship game. After that, they had playoff appearances in 1980 and 1982. Hardly dismal. Buccaneer ownership (at the time) was ridiculously cheap, and wouldn't resign the team's best QB ever (Doug Williams) because the owner was an alleged bigot, but more so because he didn't want to spend the money.
Yes, after that 1982 campaign, the team suffered 15 years of misery, the 'Yucs' and whatnot...that reputation was deserved not because of the players, but ownership's inability or unwillingness to sign talent. Steve Young sat the bench for 2 years, and Bo Jackson should have signed with the team (but he told them not to draft him). I don't blame either player for not wanting to be there - it was an awful time.

You tell me I need to revisit my history...now I am going to give you a pass, since you obviously don't follow the Bucs, but to say the last 5 are their first competitive years, well, you just don't know your football.
I am not sure where you are saying I parsed a single year. If you are referring to my initial post regarding their 1979 run that ended 9 points short of a super bowl appearance, I apologize for not including the 2 years after that.
As far as it being a 'cheap' win...not sure what you mean by that. A 12-4 regular season record that many experts called the most dominating defense they'd ever seen with comparisons to the vaunted steel curtain and the bears team of 85. Destroying opponents in the postseason. Drilling the Eagles (at their house), then culminating with a demolition of the best offense in football (hell the Bucs' D nearly outscored Oakland's offense). Hardly a 'cheap' win...it was the culmination of one of the most dominating performances in recent history.

I'm not deluded like stalin is - I fully expect a trying and tough year to get to 8 wins. I've said it numerous times. We need another speed receiver, Galloway, while speedy, just isn't the long-term answer. He'll get hurt again this year, and Cadillac will need a year to acclimate to the NFL.
But with as watered down as the NFC is nowadays, I could see possibly (maybe) the Bucs sneaking to 9-7...which could very well earn them a playoff spot. It will all depend on how good (or bad) carolina and NO turn out to be this year.
Okay!
Hey - I like your Falcons team. They are a class act and Mora no doubt in my mind has the potential to be one of the best coaches in the league. But the Eagles already are looking so focused in training camp. Sort of like a hungry lion focusing in on an antelope!
Steve
rookie and a bunch of 3rd stringers!
I just can't believe how many times Eagles fan shows up here, only to be rooting for a team in December who show up wearing a
dress. McNadd, QUIT last year in the biggest game of his career! How can you root for that team??
Because you don't want to face facts.....the bucs will dominate! Barring injury, I think 16-0 is possible with this team. No make that
19-0!
You can grab the ring order forms and save yourself sometime later..where is says "team" you can fill in
Tampa Bay Bucs
yeah baby, I smell something and its smells like a dead Dumte Culpepper...when do the Vikes crew show up?
BUCS BUCS BUCS
JS
19-0! >>>
Stalin - I thought you said you were going to stop using crack cocaine.
Man you and spammy should be great friends! Spammy was recently quoted as saying he believed the yankees would end the season this year with the best record in the AL!
have got the missing link. This WILL be a domination year. Back in 2002 nobody picked them either and you know what...they didn't
play one game in the playoffs that was close!! When is the last time THAT was done??
well it will be done this year..ok so maybe 16-0 is a bit optimistic, afterall anything can happen on any given sunday, but this team
is going to be thrusty and scary. D Brooks and Monte are going to be kicking some major behind and there is some major firepower
on the other side of the ball.
we really didn't even have a running game in 2002 either.....dang!!
The Eagles are scared! They play in perhaps the sissiest division,but they know when they have to travel south and play the NFC South
they just can't win...you will have to go 12-4, 13-3 again this year, just to make sure you don't lose in the first round....I doubt you all
will win 10 this year.
Plus McNad is on the cover of Madden 06...and you know what that means!!! Where is Koy Detmer these days?
JS
Can I ask you, what personell has changed that drastically between last year's club and this years? Throw in all the skill position guys on defense are a year older, and you honestly think they'll win 12 or 14 games?
I don't think that being honest about your team's chances makes you less of a fan...let alone on the band wagon. Would I like the Bucs to win 12 games? Sure. Am I going to bet money on that happening? Uhm, no.
Stalin, how much money have you bet on the Bucs winning the super bowl this year? By your own admissions, you have them winning the super bowl. They are what, 40 to 1 odds? If you put up $1000 on the Bucs, you'd return a ton!
I believe the Bucs to be a year away from returning to a playoff caliber team. That somehow makes me less of a fan Joe?
Yes sir - scared like a pride of hungry lions on the prowl for some fresh meat. The Eagles are going to be eating lots of fresh meat starting with the Falcons on Monday Night Football.
GO EAGLES!!!!!
<< <i>You tell me I need to revisit my history...now I am going to give you a pass, since you obviously don't follow the Bucs >>
No Ax.....you get the pass.
I have lived in or within 100 miles of Tampa since 1993, which means that I do follow the Bucs and have even attended several games.
To "parse" is to cut pieces from statements and claim them as individually valid.
Just because the Bucs were bad under Hugh Culverhouse because he was cheap doesn't mean their record does not exist. They had a superstar coach in John McKay and the chance to develop young players but still did nothing.
I can accept your invalidation of the Eagles pre-1967 championships before negating any of the Bucs 30 years.
You must then know what a tremendous job McKay did in overcoming the ridiculous rules that new NFL franchises used to be forced to go through in sorting through castoffs to try to assemble a team.
Yes, for a period of 15 years, the Bucs were miserable. I have never denied that (wondering where you came up with it?) But barely 3 years after their inception, they were successful, making the playoffs 3 of 4 years (1979, 80, 82), and the NFC championship in 79. Bookending that was a string of playoff appearences culminating in the super bowl win in 2002.
Just not sure where you say they have had 30 bad years, where it's been more like 15?
A healthy Galloway with and Mike Clayton with one year under his belt
Griese with one years experience under Gruden
A RUNNING GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kick butt rookie tight end (steal of the draft)
O line is still a concern but when you FINALLY have to respect the run, then you can control that
I liked our chances last year, but half the offense got hurt the first 3 weeks of the season!!
Watch out baby!

Without an O line, I don't care who you have back there. Why do you think Denver can put anyone behind their Oline and succeed?

GO BUCS
05 Champs
It's one thing to be a fan. but for you to sit there and accuse others who don't share your view that the Bucs are solid playoff contenders as 'bandwagoners' well, sir, I don't know what to tell you.
Yes every year is a hopeful one. But if you say 'we're going to go 12-4 this year!' and have no legitimate shot at doing so, are you any more a fan?
You root for whatever team you want in whatever week and Ill take the bucs, at home on the road, in the heat in the cold..
they are for real and Im sorry that you can't see that. What you can't root for the seahawks or somthing?
BUCS BUCS BUCS!!!!!!!!!!!
JS
I root for the Bucs every week.
But I am also a realist who knows that the trade for Gruden robbed this team of a vast amount of high quality draft picks for 2 years...and that lack of influx of good, young talent has resulted in the past 2 years.
You talk about injuries - EVERY team suffers injuries. Hanging your hat on that is just foolish. Every team goes through it. The Patriots used 40 (!) starters last year, yet they adapted to many, many starters going out for significant periods of time (Ty Law, anyone?) and still won it all.
I am still trying to understand how my being realistic about this season, and anticipating no better than a 9-7 makes me less of a fan of the Bucs and your rants of the team going undefeated?
The bucs lost in the first 4 weeks:
#1 and #2 receivers
TE
starting RB
starting QB
you think NE could do anything minus Dillion and Brady?
The bucs got nailed by key injuries last year and were still in the playoff hunt deep into the season. Im willing to bet that Caddy will be
a lot better than Garner would of been and Ill even bet that Galloway continues to put up the numbers he did at the end of last
season.
Show me a team that made the playoffs with a back up RB and a 3rd and 4th string WR will ya?
Walk the plank Ax!
JS
and soflphillyfan. those videos you show make me laugh. those are some real bright eagles fans there?
not much to talk about right now. i am a little overconfident with the cowboys this year. so im gonna wait and see the first couple of weeks. camp is looking like they are going to the playoffs as long as julius jones stays healthy this year.
would worry more about when MeShawn is going to implode!
JJ is a beast and I hope he has a monster year. I am well stocked in his rookie cards
