Nobody beats the Wiz

In a town where negativity rules, the Eagles are the rulebreaker. Desperate for any kind of Championship from the four sports, the Eagles have shown us one thing. What its like to win again. Given Philly confidence that hasn't been felt since 1983. The last time a Philadelphia franchise won a title.

Which brings me to this pain staking topic. In a league of parity, are the Eagles good enough to win it all? In years past when you look at the winners of the Vince Lombardi Trophy, one thing standout from all the rest. A player that makes the difference in a game. The Ravens led by Ray Lewis. The Rams led by Kurt Warner. The Patriots led by Tom Brady. Is Donovan McNabb that type of player?

History says he's not. Alas, there is a darkhorse ridng the Eagles triumphs. His name - Brian Westbrook. A man who made Division IAA & Atlantic 10 look silly.

Six rushing TD's 2 receiving makes "The Wizard" a formidable opponet. Dare I say we have a game-breaker in our midst. A replica of WIlbert Montgomery if you will. In the weeks to come, the NFL may witness the most underrated players in the NFL. .
