More surprising win yesterday? Oakland over Philadelphia? Kansas City over Washington? How about Buffalo over the New York Dirty Sanchezes? All were unexpected, but because of some avian intervention, Oakland’s win over the suddenly-hapless Eagles takes the cake — or the bird feeder, as it were. What we have is Oakland unveiling their special teams secret weapon: a pigeon who is disciplined enough to stay in his lane during kick-off coverage. Because the Raiders aren’t used to that kind of attention to detail, Al Davis is expected to sign his feathered friend to a free agent contract that gives them the option of picking up an additional year.
In other news, did the Eagles really lose to Oakland while managing only nine points?
Until yesterday’s debacle, the Eagles had scoring totals of 38, 22, 34, and 33. The fact they were held without a touchdown against a team that had been giving up 23 points a game is one of life’s little mysteries, or simply the result of flat, uninspired play.
Your choice.
Oh, and it’s good to see that Michael Vick signing is being put to good use while paying such huge dividends, including the lovely storm of protest that follows him everywhere he goes. Philadelphia signed him because?
