Panthers-Eagles: First Quarter Action

Jeff Garcia starts for the Eagles. As often occurs, the coach's short-team needs outweigh the long-term benefits of finding out of A.J. Feeley can do his dad proud. I suppose it's much ado about nothing, but is there anything to be gained by starting Jeff Garcia?

I don't have a terribly nice television, but did the start of the game look like the wind is blowing down from the tire fire?

As the starters are listed, I recall a conversation I had a co-worker today. I would like to name my first child "Slotheny" after my favorite two vices. Perhaps this will help my child do well in sports and support his old man. After all, I refuse to change my last name to Marinovich.

Not to be an ass, but isn't the poor young businesswoman that ends up in the wrong airport washroom while fixing her contacts already 'away'?

Jeff Garcia just hit a wide-open patch of grass. I expect this to be a pattern for the first half. To his credit, it really was wide-open; the ground just dropped it.

"They're not booing; they're saying, 'Contract testicular cancer...ooo.'"

At the 10:00 mark, the punters are looking sharp so far.

Update 1: There we go! I really enjoy when 11 people can successfully improvise like that 40+ yard pass play. That's one great way football goes from droning to drama.

Hey, when does Keyshawn Johnson get his penis back? Does he have visitation rights? He hasn't been the cock of the walk for an awfully long time. I hope his publicist is keeping an eye on him.

Let NFL Hits bring you the hottest trends: Steve Smith is pretty good. Also, he has the best strut this side of John Travolta. (Hey, as long as it's throwback night...) Try watching the replays of that touchdown later tonight without hearing the Bee Gees. I dare you.

Update 2: Speaking of enjoying an unexpected moment, Tony lays out Philly fans by injecting a cautious tone into the McNabb recovery. I hope he likes green tagging on his bus.

Please excuse me; I need to step out for a moment to buy an Xbox 360, about $200 in accessories, and Halo 3. Thanks for your patience.
