Philly fans: don’t be stupid

This week on NFL Sunday Countdown Cris Carter stated that the Philadelphia Eagles could not get a better coach than Andy Reid.

TJ had a comment about Eagles fans and Chris Berman told Philly fans “don’t be stupid.”

This is one week after the NFL Sunday Countdown crew questioned the Philadelphia Eagles coaching staff for their performance, which has been mediocre to say the best.

To the staff of NFL Sunday Countdown: don’t be stupid.  If the Philly fans can execute better than their Eagles I hope they  give the ESPN staff a nice warm welcome on Dec 15.  If you don’t like being criticized for not executing your [multi] million dollar job responsibilities then take your dress and go somewhere else.

Since ‘99 with Andy Reid the Philadelphia Eagles have gone 5-11, 11-5, 11-5, 12-4, 12-4, 13-3, 6-10, 10-6, 8-8,  and now are 5-4-1.

Superbowl wins: 0

If this is the best the Eagles can do I feel sorry for all of you.

Glacier National Park

My previous trip to Glacier didnt go past Avalanche Campground, this time we stayed for 3 days.

Outstanding views in this park

note; two panoramic pics are included with the photos / maps.  These photos are too small in flickr and are misplaced on all maps, they should be located more towards the north east side of st mary’s lake.
