It's certain that Eagles fans at bars will be pounced on by local TV news for incite into the big game. It's also certain most will offer nothing more than drunken cheers.

Morning Bytes: Inane lead-up to Eagles-Giants

Peeking in on the electronic media in the run-up to the Eagles-Giants divisional playoff game Sunday at the Meadowlands

WHA-TV: (Late in its 6 p.m. local newscast:)

ANCHOR JIM RATT: OK, now that we've spent 28 minutes on apartment fires, police crime scenes and snow scares, we're about to go live to our own Kathy Parmesano, who's at a Northeast Philadelphia bar where Eagles fans are watching the big game with Minnesota. Kathy?

KP: That's right, Jim. It's really quite a remarkable scene here. Eagles fans are not only wearing green jerseys and drinking beer, but they're also cheering loudly when their team does something good!

JR: Wow, amazing. Be safe, Kathy. How do they feel?

KP: Let's ask one. I have with me here Bill Overdue of Hatboro. So, Bill, how do you think Andy McNabb is doing today?

BO: We're goin' all the way, baby! WHOOOOO!

KP: Ooh, I think the Eagles just got a goal. How do you feel about that?

BO: We're goin' all the way, baby! WHOOOOO!

KP: Well, as you can see, Jim, a very knowledgeable crowd here at Busty McStupid's. Back to you. And let's go, Eagles!

WACK-AM (Midweek morning talk-radio chat:)

HUGHES TOBY ARIGHTER: We're back. All week we'll be previewing the big game between our Eagles and those stinking Giants. Leah, why don't you say something crude and salacious to pump up our audience's testosterone levels, not to mention our ratings?

LEAH: Johnson!

HTA: Ha-ha-ha. Whoa, girl! Anyway, we're looking for reactions to our question of the day: Who do you hate more? Donovan McNabb or Saddam Hussein? Let's go to Richie from Fishtown.

RFF: Yo, how Hughes doin'?

HTA: Ha-ha-ha. Funny stuff, Richie.

RFF: Gettin' back to the question, the Eagles suck and I hate Hussein and McNabb. But at least Hussein never smiled when the Coalition was kickin' Republican Guard butt.

HTA: That's a very solid point.

LEAH: That's what she said!

HTA: Ha-ha-ha. Whew! Next up is Dimmie from Haddonfield. Go ahead, Dimmie.
