T.O.'s anti-climactic homecoming
Many Philadelphia Eagles fans readied themselves for today's home game against the Dallas Cowboys with great anticipation, looking to the T.O. homecoming as an opportunity to show the infamous former Eagles wide receiver some Philly cheer.
As so many things revolving around T.O. seem to end, the T.O. - Eagles reunion was lackluster. The controversy didn't live up to its pre-game hype, which is really not very surprising. Like a classic prize fight between two boxing champions, seldom does the sporting act itself live up to the hysteria before the contest.
I'm typing this blog before the game's over...it's actually early on in the third quarter now, and the Eagles are down. And I'm doing this to prove a point.
My not-so-difficult prediction:
Eagles win, pulling it out late in the game.
T.O. is as much a factor in the second half of the game as he was in the first. Which is to say, not a factor at all.
And Eagles fan are left wanting more. What's a win without a pound of flesh?
Another day, another game. On any given Sunday, I guess.
