For a stretch of years I have been picking the Eagles to win the NFC East. Is it blind loyalty or is it the fact that the Eagles have been playing the role of the top dog in the division for almost as long as Andy Reid has been in town? Call me a homer but the fact is the Eagles have been the best team year in and year out every year in the NFC East, even the disastrous post Super Bowl year they probably had the best talent top to bottom but injuries (and personal conflicts) derailed that season form the start. This year will be no different.

Imagine you are playing a game of poker with your buddies. You have no good cards. Even the cards you have that are usually good seem to not help you out in any way, shape, or form. What do you do? What if you rearranged the cards in your hand? Doesn't work, does it? Even when you switch cards with the dealer, the cards you get in return seem even worse than what you had before. And surely enough those cards will later help one of your buddies take the pot.

You either like him or have complete disdain for him.  Like him or not, shouldn't Denver Nuggets coach George Karl be Coach of the Year?
