So you'd think Eagles fans would be happy about their team beating the Bears last night to bring their record to 6-4. You'd think wrong, judging by today's WIP morning show. I think Angelo Cataldi was one of the more optimistic ones.
My favorite was the guy who called to complain about the team, identifying himself as a decades-long season-ticket holder, and complaining that he might have to buy tickets for as many as three home playoff games.
First of all, there's no way in the world the Eagles will have more than one home playoff game this year- they're not catching the Saints or Vikings for either of the first-round byes, and the only way they'd host a championship game is if they're the third seed and the top two seeds both lose in the second round (it happened last year, but don't bet on it again.) Second of all... shouldn't you be happy about your team being the playoffs?
Even if that's a lot to pay for tickets, couldn't you, you know, sell them, for a profit? For an Eagles fan who, unlike you, doesn't hate the team?
