I've held out long enough. This is gonna be my one (pre-game) super bowl post. I could go on and on about the eagles, but i won't. i could go on and on about my lack of definate plans (HD big screen in columbia? friend's house in h-town? bar in h-town? it's totally up in the air). Instead, I give you this, from my friend BJ who works for former Philly mayor, current state governor, and passionate sports fan Ed Rendell. His email, in its entirety follows:
Well for those of you who have never seen state government from the inside,
let me give you a glimpse. The recent highlights include:
--trying to devise a travel schedule that would have allowed the leader of
PA see both the Steelers and Eagles conference championship games in person
--trying to pass a security clearance to obtain a "Homeland Security Badge"
to watch both playoff games from the sideline (thanks, WATERS) [Editor's note: this refers to the infamous Wawa incident]
--having an intense debate with senior government officials on whether or
not moving our budget address to avoid the championship parade would jinx
the Eagles
--listening to Joe Banner get yelled at because they booked "shitty" hotels
--planning a rally for tomorrow in which the leader of the state is
contemplating having me dress up in an Eagle outfit and run around because
he liked my rendition of the fight song and the "Swoop" at the staff
Christmas party
It has reached a state of complete BEDLAM.
