An open letter to Philly

I think what you did to the Redskins last night was unusually cruel, even for a division rival. You score 27 points in the first half, and then after halftime you can't even manage to put any points on the board, or even attempt a field goal against hapless Washington.

Haven't the Redskin fans suffered enough? Their coach is a lame duck and their owner is probably more concerned about his fantasy team than his football team at this point. The team gets perpetually warned that their name and logo could get taken away for political correctness.

By not scoring, you are giving these poor fans false hope that their team is still in the game when they actually aren't. You leave them looking for a silver lining when there isn't much there. Show some mercy and end the game sooner. You could provide a clear and firm signal that the game is out of reach so these hard-working folks can know that the game is over and they can leave before the 4th quarter to beat the traffic and get to bed a little earlier. Instead, your naughty Eagles are toying with their prey in Washington. It's like watching a child play with it's food for an hour and a half. Or more like watching a monkey pick its butt.

If Philly, after reading this you are still convinced you did nothing wrong, then look in the mirror and ask yourself ... what would Breesus do?
