Why the Eagles will win on Sunday
Recently the Linc was noted as the third most Vegetarian Friendly NFL site in the whole country, and even Bleeding Green Nation took note. For those out there who are trying to make sense of a team that's played this badly somehow being in the playoffs, veggie-friendliness is the "X" factor that finally makes it all make sense!
As I predicted they would back at the beginning of October, the 2008 Phillies went all the way to a championship, partially due to playing and coaching, but mostly due to their fantastic array of vegetarian and vegan options at CB park. In that Daily News article (about the Phillies having the #1 ballpark in the country for veggie options) I noted that "the Eagles are showing promise" because their venue, Lincoln Financial Field, introduced veggie burgers and veggie dogs this season.
Well, it's paying off: Recently the Linc was noted as the third most Vegetarian Friendly NFL site in the whole country, and even Bleeding Green Nation took note. For those out there who are trying to make sense of a team that's played this badly somehow being in the playoffs, veggie-friendliness is the "X" factor that finally makes it all make sense!
So it seems obvious that due to this the Eagles will beat the Vikings, even though they're not at the Linc- hey, it's a karma thing, not a localized phenomenon. The question is how far they can go in this playoff run. If they had grabbed the #1 spot in this survey they'd be a cinch for the Super Bowl. But #3 would probably only be big enough for a division title... if that.
But wait - there's still hope! Open the Linc on Sunday for remote viewing of the Vikings game and have the concessionaires from the ballpark bring a couple truckloads of veggie cheesesteaks, mock-chicken cheesesteaks and crabless crab cakes to supplement the veggie burgers and dogs, and we could extend this improbable season even more improbably!
Come on, Eagles! Show your true colors - green, that is - and let's make Philadelphia history again!
