Throw another log on the Eagles-Phillies rivalry
There’s another angle to the Cliff Lee story – actually two of them – that involve the Eagles.
Look for Fox to play up the New York-Philly rivalry as they set the backdrop for Sunday’s crucial battle between the Giants and Eagles for first place in the NFC East.
It’s a natural story line, Gotham City looking to exact a little revenge on the Big Pretzel.
And then there is this. I happen to be among those who believe it bothers the Eagles to no end when the Phillies are the limelight.
Not only is all Philly abuzz with the Lee deal, it’s literally the talk of the sports universe.
And all of this as the Eagles prepare for what could very well be a make-or-break game with the Giants.
Don’t be surprised if the Eagles make a pre-emptive strike to get the spotlight back. Can you say contract extension for Michael Vick.
That would do it.
