Well, as long as we're banging on a decidedly non-Lake-related thread, here's my $.02...

Okay, I'm an anomaly -- An Eagles fan raised as a Sox fan (thanks to a transplanted father), and you've struck a cord. Although I was not a big T.O. fan while he was a 'Niner, I must say that he is money. But let's not take my word for any of this, let's look at the stats.

Pats Receivers:

Rec yds Avg. TDs
Givens 24 443 18.5 1
Patten 20 357 17.9 4

Owens 34 596 17.5 8

While we're at it, a little QB comparison

Comp/Att % yds y/game TD INT RAT
Brady 104/172 60.5 1389 231.5 6 4 87.1
McNabb 140/213 65.7 1753 292.2 13 3 105.6

So...love him or hate him, you cannot deny T.O.'s remarkable contribution. He's turned a marginal receiver (Pinkston) into a weapon...made the TEs viable again...opened up the middle for all sorts of possibilities -- and that's without catching a single ball.

Granted, we're not even at mid-season, BUT, if things shake out the way they SHOULD (which rarely happens), we'll see the best team from each conference meet in the big game. The Pats are hands-down winners of the AFC, and no one can argue that the Eagles are the cream of the NFC. If we paired the two this Sunday, I'd have to bet on the Pats -- they're just too complete. BUT, as we all know, once the playoffs arrive, any team can beat any other. All bets are off.

But I digress -- HOW 'BOUT DEM SOX!

Why do I keep looking at the title of this thread and expect to hear, "April Fool!"

Boy it's been a fun ride. I wish the MVP could have been a team award.

What an historic game! What a team.
Hopefully we don’t lose all the free agents.
Now that the series is over we can get back to the lake. We get three channels at the camp. Maine, Maine and Maine. No Sox coverage, ever.

Speaking of April fools.

On April 11 2005 at the home opener the SOX raise the WORLD CHAMP FLAG. And WHO is the visiting team that has to stand there and watch??

None other than the New York Yanks. They will be thinking "is this an April fools joke?"

[glennsteely]

They are some impressive stats huh? I am truly happy that the Sox won. I have been to Fenway and have always held a spot for them in my heart. The Eagles and Pats.....YEA that would be a game.....
