Thanksgiving just passed and I said how thankful I was for my wife and kids and my family's health and well being among other things. Christmas is fast approaching and I got a glimpse of my present early. I'm thankful for the eight games scheduled on Christmas day. Three NFL games and five NBA games, I'm just hopeful they're good games and not trainwrecks. Nothing is as it should be with a Thursday game in the NFL. Inevitably, some fourth string receiver is going to go off and wreak havoc on your fantasy lineup. It's like bizarro world on Thursday night football where good players suddenly are hit by kryptonite and start getting outplayed by bench players. In the NBA every game is a tossup, LeBron just got outplayed by Dillon Brooks...I give up trying to make sense of it.
Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo is going to be shopping for a pressure washer after the Eagles' Black Friday loss to the Chicago Bears. The Moorestown police say that fans vandalized Patullo's home with eggs and that there's video on social media and that the investigation is ongoing.
My question for the police is are you sure it was fans and not the owners of the Eagles? I mean the Eagles are paying the most for their offense this year and that offense ranks in the bottom third of the league across the board. Bottom third in yards (24th), passing (23rd), rushing (22nd), and scoring (19th). Quite frankly, I'm surprised they're 19th in scoring, I was thinking dead last. This is the year of inconsistency in the NFL, unless you're a fan of the Broncos. Sean Payton doesn't win pretty but he gets the job done.
Patullo said, "When you talk about what happened, ultimately you want to be able to separate job from your family. That line was crossed. It was an unfortunate incident and that was the part that happened. Us as a family, we know we've got to stick together. We've had a great experience here in Philadelphia. It's a very special, unique place to work and I look forward to all the more games we have and finishing strong in the season."
It's nice that dude is remaining positive after a personal attack but these are the same fans that booed Santa Claus and cheered loudly as Michael Irving was severely injured. I remember visiting Philadelphia as a teenager and going to Franklin Mills Mall and being told I can't wear my Dolphins jacket inside because 'we don't need any drama'. In college I had a chart of fan tolerance which I should bring back and update...LA and Miami are still the most tolerant, in other words it's not big deal if you wear an opposing jersey. I would strongly advise against that at Raiders and Eagles games, Eagles fans are not above vandalizing their own coaches.
