Ha. Nope.  I knew the schedule for months.  We all did.  I said it then.  We just didn’t know the weekly breakdown.  I know this is an 8-8, 10-6 at best team.  Period.  Nothing we did in FA and certainly the draft changed that for me. 

What is a Mediterranean Diet?  Might I ask?

Lots of veggies, seafood, grains, light on other meats and sugar.  Its delicious and savory.  Good for the heart and cholesterol which both cause problems in my lineage.

I like Les, but him busting my balls about the AZ game not being a west coast game seems petty. 

It's a long flight.  I've done it far too frequently.   No, it's not LA.  But, it's not that far from it.  It's a difference of about 45 minutes in the air heading west, about 30 minutes different heading east.

Lions Bye Weeks have been Week 5, Week 5, Week 6 and Week 7 the last 4 years. Sucks to be them 

In 1999, Andy's first season, we had sucked so bad the year before, our bye was week 16.

I wonder what happens to Lamar Jackson in year 3 and a full off-season (for the most part) of teams being able to gameplan for him. Was he a flash in the pan or is he going to be able to keep up his MVP pace.  He has more weapons, their running game is going to be really tough to stop.  Be interesting to see.  The NFL caught on to Vick, RG3 and even Kaepernick.  All play the exact same came as Lamar does.  

Not to mention his style of play is not sustainable without injuries.  He got rocked multiple times last year and popped right back up. He’s tiny.  History proves that something’s gotta give.  Not that I’m cheering for any of this, but I am sick and tired of the national love affair with this guy (as if it hasn’t been done before) after 1 season.

I always liked Henry Winkler, but him portraying a biker gang leader and tough guy in Happy Days at 5’6” was pretty ridiculous — Gilligan’s Island-level ridiculous.

I will always remember his guest appearance on the Mary Tyler Moore show (as the pitiful guy who Rhoda brings to Mary’s dinner party after being fired) as one of the best in sitcom history.

That’s about a 4.5-5.5 hour flight depending on the weather factor it could be more. I do it to visit family back in philly. It’s easier going East to west rather than the opposite way

He was hilarious in Waterboy.  

Oh. Look who’s part of the Twitter World now.  

Naw I’m still not on there yet lol. I had to change the time though it’s 4.5-5.5 but usually you get stuck on the run way coming into Phoenix.

Winkler is fantastic in the HBO show "Barry". Highly recommend it. Great show.

Not necessarily.  I’m sure some of the opponents will purchase something before they play us.  At least we aren’t playing any teams when they come off of their Best Buy.

I lived in utah driven through arizona many times and ive also lived on the west coast, Arizona is not west coast, that would be like calling ohio east coast. Close but no salami.

Had a choice between taking a job with Amazon as a senior manager Seattle, but with frequent travel to Phoenix. I ended up turning it down and staying with my employer in Boston. But I think I would have liked Phoenix.

If you want something that will really scare the crap out of you, you need to visit the Bronze Fonz if you haven't done it.

it depends on what part of Phoenix you were going to visit/live. Phoenix has a lot of suburbs.  central Phoenix isn’t where you wanna live. Tempe is the college area. But if you’re in like Glendale or Scottsdale or Mesa or paradise valley or chandler then it’s really nice. Even have Rita’s water ice out there now. A lot of east coast transplants so you can get a little taste of home. But you would love the weather 9 out of the 12 months out of the year. end of May til end of August it’s bad except for monsoon days. Seattle is pretty amazing. Just couldn’t ever live there with how much it rains.

Hope everyone is staying sane and healthy. 
 

Saw PA extended their stay at home order until June 4th. MD governor came on yesterday anticipating he lifts it next week but now I’m having my doubts. Just flat out over this in every way possible. Not trying to undermine life but this way of life can’t continue too much longer.

It is still a long flight from Philly, but it's one less Time Zone than coming all the way to the West Coast would be.  So that's something.

Actually it depended on the time of the year. Right now we are same time as California. But since the game is December 20th, Arizona stays at the same time but California moves an hour behind us as daylight savings ending. If it was September or October like it has been the past couple times the eagles have come out here then it is basically the same time. 

its not an easy flight. It’s 4.5-5.5 hours. During that time of the year there’s a lot of snow birds so the airport gets crazy and there’s typically delays into sky harbor. 
 

if fans are allowed by then i actually recommend if you were traveling for one game to do that one. It’ll be like low 70s during That time. The weather is amazing and there’s a bunch going on in Scottsdale and Phoenix areas. 

Man that schedule on paper looks tough. Not just the way it's worked out but the teams on our schedule (which I know we knew already).

I wish I could.  That, or the SF game would be fun.  But I can't get away either of those two weeks.

I've made three games in the last couple of years.  (Chargers, Rams, & Rams.)  And while I had to watch the Wentz injury, we did win all three games.  And Eagles fans owned the stadium all three times.  So I can survive not getting to a game this year.
