Sports fans who stayed up late to watch the Monday Night Football game were rewarded with some late fourth quarter excitement. Drew Bledsoe scored toward the end of the fourth quarter putting the Boys down six points. There were three minutes on the clock when the Eagles got the ball back. The Eagles get stuffed on the first down and Dallas calls a time out to stop the clock. We're all thinking that if the Cowboys can force three-and-out, they can get the ball back with about two minutes left. Donovan McNabb steps back to throw--interception under pressure and it's run back for a touchdown. Now the Eagles are losing 21-20 and they have to do something. McNabb gets knocked out with an injury, his backup puts them at about the Cowboy's 40 for a kick in the waining seconds. Certainly a long attempt, but not unheard of. David Ackers kicks it straight but the ball falls just short of the goal post by maybe a yard or two. Cowboys win and the Eagles are now 4-5 and wondering what happened
to their Superbowl run.

Of course, you missed all that if you went to bed earlier like a sensible person.

The Eagles may yet get their revenge on the Cowboys. The creep during the pregame quoted Jerry Jones as saying that he would take Terrell Owens. While it's true Bill Parcels might be the only coach that can tame him, be carefule what you wish for Mr. Jones. Besides, before TO reports to camp he'll probably have to fight a steel cage match with Keshawn Johnson or something.
