***OK, OK, so this post is not TECHNICALLY about a mascot, but thought I would share my thoughts in red, following the Eagles head coach, Andy Reid's press conference this afternoon, the first time he spoke since the Eagles' season ended....I wonder what Swoop or even Air Swoop thought (haha - mascot mention!!)
REAL SWOOP vs. AIR SWOOP
Dissecting andy reid quotes from press conference, and what they really meant....
Andy Reid: Appreciate your patience, thought it was important to take a step back and evaluate. ohh...this should be good!!
Reid: "We've got to do better at home throughout the season." wait but it is ok to lose all of the away games??
AR: My primary goal here is to win games for the team and city. I'm juggling many players, personalities (and pizzas) - team needs to hang together.
Reid: I think Vick understands importance of turnovers. Offseason of study is important. umm...he "thinks" Vick understands the importance of turnovers?? Somebody get out there and make SURE he understands turnovers ASAP!
AR: We will attack free agency and the Draft aggressively as we always do. ohhh great.
Reid: "I'm very optimistic going forward, I'm very optimistic about next year." really? that's good to hear!!
Reid: "i'm not a very patient person when it comes to and winning. We're in the game and we want to win." oh good, i thought when you are in the game you want to lose....it all makes sense now!
Reid: you can take all the stats you want, but the bottom line is we weren't good enough. i'm not sure what stats say the eagles were good this season...anyone??
Reid: Toward the end of the season, everyone "started to pull together and play as a football team." sounds like someone needed some more preseason games!
AR: at 8-8, you'd better look in the mirror first. wait, is there a big enough mirror for this??
