Another New York Optimist


If the Steve Selby article in the NY Post (Philly has a snowball's chance in hell) wasn't enough, we've also uncovered Gary Myers of the NY Daily News who clairvoyantly titled his spot: 


The article obviously sucks or sucked (tense), but Jesus, what kind of headline is that?  Snappy leads are supposed to grab attention through clever word play or double entendres!  

Believe me..?  

BELIEVE ME..?

Uh, oh, watch out! Gary's getting serious!  Gary's fucking crazy!  AHHHHH!

Imagine if the article was titled:

Eagles won't beat the Giants on Sunday

Editor: "This article isn't persuasive enough.  We need something CONVINCING!  We don't need Giants fans pissing their pants with worry."

Gary Myers, "How about I preface it with, I BELIEVE!?  Like, take ownership of it, you know?"

Editor: "Like, I believe (comma for emphasis) you're a fucking douchebag?"

Gary Myers, "Exactly."

Editor: "Run it."

If anyone is interested, Gary Myers email is gmyers@nydailynews.com

I love the tag: New York Columnist Hacks.

These guys are such douches. I started to read a couple of guys' demonstrative pieces on how the Eagles can't lose this upcoming week, but it made me uneasy. I just want Sunday to be here now.

I can't recall a time any Philadelphia columnist made any kind of bold proclamation like that. Maybe they're just smarter than we give them credit for.

This is the one I read that made me uneasy, it was from ESPN.

Goes to show you, nobody knows jack about picking games.
Nobody. Not former players, not sports columnists, not know it all radio guys like FatCessa...nobody.
FU strahan, Meyers, Selby, Francesa...The Eagles pulled a no-vaseline train on the Giants TWICE within a month. Now you chumps are gonna have to spend the next 3 weeks writing/taking calls and getting emails about how YOUR team sucks and how great the Eagles are. It will be even sweeter if the Eagles can win it all.

Just read the Gene Wojo article. It's beyond me why these guys make predictions like that for NFL games. The NFL is the least predictable league in all of sports.

Wow, just read Myers' article, and he gave the Eagles not 1 ounce of credit for their success over the Cowboys or Vikings.

Um...maybe the Eagles' D had something to do with Tony Romo being so awful? No.........
