No, not really . . . I do love my Eagles, but I sure got a kick out of George Carlin’s comparison of baseball and football.
“Baseball is a 19th century pastoral game.
Football is a 20th century technological struggle.
Baseball is played on a diamond. In a park – the baseball park.
Football is played on a gridiron in a stadium (sometimes called ‘Soldier Field’ or ‘War Memorial Stadium’).
Baseball has the 7th inning stretch.
Football has the 2 minute warning.
Baseball has no time limit. We don’t know when it’s gonna end. We might have extra innings!
Football is rigidly timed and it will end even if we have to go to sudden death.
Finally, the objectives of the 2 games are totally different:
In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the ‘field general’, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his receivers with a deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he moves his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack which punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy’s defensive line. . .
In baseball, the object is to go home. And to be safe – “I hope I’ll be safe at home!”
Good stuff.

Hey kate, that’s hilarious! however, it’s totally stupid, because quite frankly, I would rather see the Eagles win the super bowl than the Phils the World Series, but both would be nice. I lufs you,
