But what they’ve just achieved is something far rarer and more significant.
By no means am I to ever be mistaken for a Philadelphia Eagles fan.
I’d sooner be called a Communist or a vegan.
But what I am is a fan of dignity.
On behalf of all Patriots fans, I welcome Philly to the club.
We should make jackets.
Which was pretty much all of them.
That’s just one example.
With the Patriots Dynasty, there are at minimum a half dozen.
In 2004 the Colts got the league to restrict physical play from defensive backs even further.
To an extent that would’ve gotten Blount arrested charges of Mayhem.
The Ravens got them to change Ineligible Receiver rule in 2015.
Then circled back when Belichick sent Shea McClellin leapfrogging over the Ravens' center to block a kick.
That’s just off the top of my head.
I’m sure there are others.
Which is apparently too much to ask in this day and age.
And Buddy Ryan’s 46 Defense.
Eventually someone figured out a way to scheme around these innovations and they went extinct.
I hope the NFL rejects this proposal.
Anyway, congratulations to the Eagles.
You’ve made it.
