deification of brett favre

Does anyone else share the opinion that the accolades thrown at Brett Favre are somewhat overdone? Fabulous during the first half of his career but only good (or good plus) since. He flat out lost too many games for the Packers (and Jets for that matter) during the latter part of his career to be in anyone's top ten list. My memory is not perfect, but didn't it seem like the Eagles were pretty much assured a victory anytime that they took on Favre and his gunslinger attitude during the Andy Reid era?

victories over SB champions

It seems to me that the Eagles have had pretty good luck against the eventual superbowl champions. They beat the Steelers in week three this year, they beat the Bucs the year the Bucs won it all, and I remember them being competitive with the Cowboys, Giants, and Redskins during the Buddy era. Are there any stats out there as to each team's record versus the eventual superbowl champions? Where do you think the Eagles rank?

Eagles-Niners Tickets

I am a transplanted Eagles fan living in the Bay Area. I have two tickets to Sunday's game against the Forty-Niners at Candlestick that I'm not going to be able to use but would love to sell to another Eagles fan. My sense is that the seats are decent (quite high up but on the 20 or 30 yard line). They cost me $99 apiece and I am happy to entertain any reasonable offer to keep them in the family. Please send an e-mail to dave.olson17@comcast.net and we can get things going.
