Sunday's signature Big Goofy Idea, though, was a bold one even for Campbell. He somehow managed to convince Philadelphia Eagles fans to boo their team off the field at halftime and then could only watch as the Eagles won them all back by the end of the game. The Eagles did this simply by changing their identity from offensive clown show to defensive monolith, and Campbell's Lions let it happen by refusing to change anything at all.
Oh, come on... come on! That is terrible! That is an absolutely terrible call that's going to decide this football game! If anything, it's an offensive push! You want to call a foul, that's an offensive foul... wow.
Things were rocky around the Eagles after a two-game slide. First, a 21-17 loss to the Denver Broncos on Oct. 4 -- just their second defeat in over a year. When reporters entered the home locker room afterward, it was silent and had a feel more normally associated with a postseason exit. "I think this team forgot how to lose," a reporter whispered.
'Who would've thought that a kid from Greenville, AL, with just one year of high school football experience, would go on to play professional football in the NFL for 11 incredible years!... As I step into the newest season of my life, please know this game has meant the world to me. The lessons learned on and off the field will stay with me forever.'
CAM JURGENS' WHITE Dodge Ram pickup truck crunches the gravel as he pulls up to his boyhood home on the outskirts of Pickrell, Nebraska, population 186. Three generations of Jurgens live on this half-mile of farmland with corn, cows and sky stretching as far as the eye can see. With tousled red hair, the 6-foot-3, 303-pound Philadelphia Eagles center walks through the door of the modest 1,400-square foot home.
