The Lives of Brian
Posted by BMT on December 23rd, 2009
This Sunday marks the return to Philly of former Eagles fan favorite, Brian Dawkins. When he decided to take the money and go to Denver, Eagles fans acted like their wives had just left them. Well for at least one day in December they’ll have their old lady back in town, except this time she’ll be playing for the other team. I guess Brian Dawkins’ return to face the Eagles is sort of like your wife leaving you for a richer guy and then offering to have sex with you a few months later. Except now she’s a man.
The bright side is that the thousands of commercialized zombies fans who felt slighted for having spent so much on their Dawkins #20 jerseys now have an occasion to wear them that seems almost appropriate. I suppose now that Dawkins will actually be on the field, the act of wearing a shirt that cost $100 with another man’s name on it won’t feel so gay weird.
The return that Eagles fans should be more interested in will be that of Brian Westbrook. After suffering what surely is irreparable brain damage, Westbrook is now fit to return to the act of exchanging his mental health and longevity for a fat ass paycheck. Nobody’s really missed Westbrook as the Eagles have won 5 in a row. The combination of LeSean McCoy and Leonard Weaver has proven more than adequate in handling the Eagles’ weekly rushing workload of 5-7 carries. With Dawkins’ aging body relegating him to run support and Westbrook back in the offensive backfield, the game-with-a-game melodrama could be worth watching. Go Brian.

Hi. I just noticed that your site looks like it has a few code errors at the very top of your website’s page. I’m not sure if everybody is getting this same bugginess when browsing your blog? I am employing a totally different browser than most people, referred to as Opera, so that is what might be causing it? I just wanted to make sure you know. Thanks for posting some great postings and I’ll try to return back with a completely different browser to check things out!
