The Eagles will probably bench a few players with the division secure, the Cowboys coming in next week and the Falcons gaining HF advantage throughout the playoffs.

Holy hell, a Democrat that I agree with!

Gov.: Eagles shift shows U.S. 'nation of wusses' (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5960674)

The city of Philadelphia is set to host the NFL's first Tuesday night game in 64 years, and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell (D) couldn't be more upset about it.

"It goes against everything that football is all about," Rendell said Monday on a Philadelphia-area sports talk radio show.

"My biggest beef is that this is part of what's happened in this country," Rendell said. "I think we've become wussies."

"We've become a nation of wusses. The Chinese are kicking our butt in everything," Rendell added. "If this was in China do you think the Chinese would have called off the game? People would have been marching down to the stadium, they would have walked and they would have been doing calculus on the way down."

Reid should've listened to me and benched Vick.  :-)

Now he has an injured leg, albeit minor, going into the Cowboys' game.
