Eagles-Cowboys rivalry not what it used to be - Philly.com
It is with a heavy heart that I announce that the Philadelphia Eagles-Dallas Cowboys rivalry is on life support. Dallas Week, especially when the game was being played in Philadelphia, used to be explosive - with effigies of Troy Aikman being eviscerated with chainsaws and your neighbors sporting those white T-shirts emblazoned with primitive blue sketching of the spikey-haired kid doing a tinkle on the Cowboy star.

Eric Allen will always bleed Eagles green
"If I’m ever able to get to the Hall of Fame, it’ll be because those guys who really pushed me and that fan base who didn’t want anything less than your best. I had fun in New Orleans and Oakland, but I’ll always be an Eagle." said Allen.

Uh… (cough cough)… What about London Fletcher’s consecutive game streak? – Blogging the bEast
Since 1998, London Fletcher has made 1714 tackles. He’s taken on countless fullbacks and pulling guards in the hole. Early in his career, he busted wedges on kickoff coverage.
