Westbrook Play Upsets Nerds Like Me
Alycia Lane wasn’t the only one allegedly delivering a stiff punch to the face over the weekend. Yes, the Eagles had their biggest win of the season yesterday, a 10-6 upset over the Cowboys that kept the team’s meager playoff hopes alive — and therefore probably delays the misery of Philadelphia fans for one more week. Let’s focus for now on the play Brian Westbrook made with just over two minutes to play, though. Check the video highlights and you’ll see Westbrook cut past two Cowboys defenders, seemingly headed in for a touchdown. On the one yard line, though, he stops and lies down so the Eagles can run out the clock and clinch the victory. Clearly, it was a smart play. But it was also the semifinals of the fantasy football playoffs for most leagues. Since our friend with the impressive traps is on a bunch of teams in the fantasy playoffs, there are tons of football nerds smarting from the loss of six points — and, possibly, the game — yesterday. Brian Westbrook, you owe a ton of people a drink. |

Pish posh. All the people that Westbrook carried into the playoffs on his knees (that he can’t practice on) owe him a drink. Smartest play ever.
Get over it man. Fantasy football is for losers. Real football is all that matters. Westbrook did exactly what he should have done.
I have never been prouder to be an Eagles fan. This was this single most unselfish, team oriented, intelligent play I have ever seen in the NFL. Watch it. Remember it. You may never see it again. My sincerest congratulations to Mr. Westbrook.
Eagles suck.
Eagles suck. I mean it so much I may as well say it 3 times.
