Maxwell guarantees Eagles will play in SB

DanMetroMan : 5/29/2015 12:53 pm
Byron Maxwell

"VRENTAS: Is that similarity in the team culture a big reason why you believe the Eagles will go to the Super Bowl this year?

MAXWELL: We will, though.

VRENTAS: That sounds kind of like a guarantee.

MAXWELL: You can take that as a guarantee. That’s just me believing in my team and the product we’re going to put out there on the field. I really do believe that. I have no choice but to think that way."

will soon realize that he wont have Chancellor/Thomas covering for him while Sherman takes care of one side.

I am looking forward to Beckham lighting his ass up.
Someone show him

the Eagle Trophy case!
well he doesn't actually claim that they will win the SB  
ron mexico : 5/29/2015 12:59 pm : link
Just that they will make it there

To be fair,

Too early to tell

but they have Thurmond now too.
Since Messier made his guarantee

they have become cheapened and meaningless
Huh??

Creativity deals in abstracts. This is a certifiable fact.

because players never did guarantees until Messier did (Ali wasn't on a team)that's what made it so unusual and memorable plus he backed it up. Since then 3rd string DB's are making guarantees that no one remembers

It's called being unbiased. Were you a huge fan of the countdown clock Fatman? Did you think that was a great idea?

Yup. It's a talent, I suppose....
I'm a bigger fan..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 5/29/2015 1:23 pm : link
of things like the countdown clock than having role players give guarantees of the team's success.

At least that stuff mainly stays in house.

But hey, let's make the jackass comments of an Eagle about the giants. That makes sense.
What's he supposed to say?  
oghwga : 5/29/2015 1:29 pm : link
That he believes they'll be mediocre?

That to me is perfectly reasonable.
or he could have qualified it like most thinking players do

Are declaring yourselves to be mediocre and guaranteeing a Super Bowl appearance really the only options? Again, read the whole thing.
Not sure what people want players to say.  
illmatic : 5/29/2015 1:36 pm : link
That it definitely won't happen this year since they've never won one before? I hope all of the Giants players think they're good enough to be going to the super bowl this year too. I want them to have that sort of confidence.
Eagles haven't had a super bowl  
djm : 5/29/2015 1:38 pm : link
since the super bowl had them...

that line is inspired by the movie "deep cover"--anyone remember the actual line in that movie?

Never forget the quote of the 21st century, from January 2012:  
Go Terps : 5/29/2015 1:39 pm : link
""It's hard because you feel like you're better than they are," McCoy said later to a handful of reporters. "But that's just words. They're actually doing it."

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if I had unlimited funds I'd get a pilots license and a plane do I could fly a banner with this quote over Philadelphia 24/7 like a B52 during the Cold War. Let the Eagle fans think about it while they're at work, banging their chicks, raising their kids, whatever. Let their food turn to ashes in their mouths.

Joe Namath preceded Messier by 25 years.

Well she pretty much kept asking him if that's what he was saying. Still seems pretty harmless to me.
