NFL: September 13 Philadelphia Eagles Vs Carolina Panthers, originally uploaded by Walter G. Arce
Eagles fans had been waiting around months for meaningful football to finally return to Philadelphia and on Sunday we finally got our wish. Things started out a bit slow for the Birds and the joy of the pigskin wasn't quickly apparent, but that all changed in a snap. Now I'm not a loud person, I'm fairly calm for the most part, but when Trent Cole bum-rushed Jake Delhomme and Victor Abiamiri picked up the ball, diving gracefully into the end zone, I was jumping out of my chair screaming. Only moments later it happened again when DeSean Jackson made football look easy, going untouched to the end zone for an 85-yard punt return. It was a thing of beauty and those two plays welcomed football back into our lives with the type of electricity that can only be felt on the gridiron. [video of DeSean's return below]
Now I'm not saying that as a knock on any other sport, but football has that bone-crunching action and speed that is simply unmatched. DeSean Jackson is a joy to watch any time he gets the ball in his hands. It's looking more and more like Andy really got it right with this one.
