Play: “To Victory” – 300 Soundtrack

Update: What is this?  Well, two weeks ago when the Eagles played the Steelers, there was a highlight of a play when #20 Brian Dawkins had his feet tied up by a defender, but launched himself through the air to strip the ball from Steelers quarterback Ben Roesthlisberger. When I saw the replay in slow motion, it reminded me exactly of a scene in 300 where a Spartan flies through the air to hack a  Persian, (like you do). (The scene is in the trailer) So I whipped up this dumb photoshop.  I will now add the video. The best closeup starts at 1:03.

#20, Brian Dawkins is an old guy for the Eagles. Some. had claimed he was slowing down this season and should be replaced.

For some reason, I’m disproportionately amused when something I’m already interested in reaches the radar of the the uber-arcane blog Language Log. It’s happened before, of course. Today, the tensions between the Philadelphia Eagles and CB Lito Sheppard crossed over into the the world of the wordy when Lito got into some edgy expressionism.

Funny pic of the day: Schilling rocking the McNabb jersey out in public. I thought he hated Philly? Actually I guess McNabb will hate Philly soon, too…

I keep telling myself I’m getting back east for an Eagles game one of these years. When I do, I’ll be paying a broker some fat markup. Eagles tickets for this season sold out in 10 minutes.
