It's good to be the Birds

I was out for dinner last night after the game and someone had an interesting epiphany about the NFL playoffs so far.
In the divisional round, teams with "bird" nicknames went undefeated. The Arizona Cardinals, Baltimore Ravens, and Philadelphia Eagles.
In fact, only one "bird" team has lost in the playoffs so far and that was the Atlanta Falcons who, of course were beaten by the Cardinals.
I sure it's meaningless, but interesting nonetheless.
The Tampa Connection
While we're talking about wierd coincidences, there's the Tampa connection.
In October, the Phillies beat the Tampa Bay Rays in the world series to end Philly's 25 year championship drought. To get into the postseason, the Eagles needed the Tampa Bay Bucs to lose to the Raiders... which they did. Finally, this year's superbowl is played in none other than Tampa Bay, Florida.
Has the city of Tampa become our good luck charm?

coincidence
in 1948 when the eagles won the chamionship, they went 9-2-1…a tie! the last time the cardinals were in a championship game before sunday…1948! my prediction: eagles 7, cardinals 0 with the low score due to a blizzard. Steve Van Buren will score the winning TD!
i live in FLA

wow that is weird
"My first and foremost goal is to win a Super Bowl. I also set goals in terms of having a type of year to make the Pro Bowl. If I'm going to the Pro Bowl, I know I'm making plays for the team." Brian Dawkins
And lightning vs. Flyers NHL semis in 2004, too.
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
never speak of that moment again…ever
