We got your popcorn, right HERE, Pal!
WELCOME TO T.O. SUNDAY and boy did the crowds turn out for the free beer (yes, you heard that right!) and free popcorn that the Fox NFL pregame show provided for Eagles fans outside the Linc before today's Eagles-Cowboys game. The 4:15 p.m. start almost guarantees that the 700 level faithful will be a staggering mob by game time.
Best line from the pre-game show goes to Joe Buck who said of Philadelphia, "This is a town that holds a grudge longer than Tony Soprano and they won't be happy until they make T.O. cry like Johnny Sacs." T.O. had advised football fans to "bring popcorn" to today's showdown. Eagles fans are bringing popcorn and an addytood.
HALFTIME UPDATE:
DALLAS 21- EAGLES 17
T.O. hasn't done dick, and yet the Cowboys lead by four. If the game is decided by a single play, so far, it will be Dallas defensive tackle DeMarcus Ware's 69 yard touchdown rumble after a tipped pass from Donovan McNabb fell in his arms and L.J. Smith made a push instead of a tackle.
UPDATE
Hank "Who" Baskett has 112 yards and a touchdown. T.O. has one reception for nine yards.
EAGLES 24- DALLAS 21
