With all of these BS Miami Heat/Philadelphia Eagles comparisons, I feel that it’s worth mentioning the 2004 Philadelphia Eagles, the forgotten team that won the NFC and lost to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 39 by three points.

Nobody remembers that team now. I blame the generation of NFL fans that were born in ’96-’98… but I digress.

In some circles, the 2011 Eagles are being referred to as the Miami Heat, and I have no idea why.

2004 Donovan McNabb >>>>> 2011 Michael Vick
2004 Terrell Owens >>>>> any of the Philadelphia wide receivers

But Troy, the defense back then isn’t as good as it is now! Are you kidding me, Troy?! The 2004 Eagles… REALLY?!

So what? McNabb and Owens were fire and ice… until, y’know, the whole WWE style feud began and verbal poo was flung back and forth between the two fellas.

None of that is worth mentioning, though, but I just wanted to bring up the 2004 Eagles just to bring them up. I enjoyed watching that team, and I hate that they are not even being mentioned nowadays. Maybe I’m over-generalizing, though.

Why do we have to label teams as such and such? Why can’t we just recognize them as prospective solid teams that might do this/that?
