If you had a difficult time dealing with the Eagles loss. Well look no further for help. We here at HammRadio.com will be giving you all the latest jokes about the loss and a look back at some of the fun features that got you pumped for the eventual win.
First, here's David Letterman's Top 10 Excuses for the Philadelphia Eagles (02/07):
10. "Spent two weeks practicing the coin toss." 9. "Discouraged by half time show's lack of nudity." 8. "We were missing 'Desperate Housewives'--who could think straight?" 7. "We're overwhelmed by the awe-inspiring metropolis that is Jacksonville." 6. "Oh, suddenly referees are too good to take bribes?!" 5. "Who really wants to get Gatorade dumped on them?" 4. "Should have campaigned harder in Ohio." 3. "It's totally unfair, the Patriots are really good." 2. "Maybe being from the land of cheese steaks ain't a good thing." 1. "When Tom Brady looked at us with those gorgeous eyes, we just melted."
Eagles Prayer
Our Father who art in the Linc, Donovan be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy "Bowl" be won, in Jacksonville as it was in Philly. Give us this week, our yearly win, and forgive us our pass interferences, as we forgive those who make field goals against us. Lead us NOT into interceptions, and deliver us thy trophy.
Amen!
Who is this one For?

As the city celebrates and the Birds prepare the first of what will hopefully be many Super Bowls in the Reid-McNabb era, I think it's appropriate to, remember all those past Eagles from our lifetime who never got a chance to play in this game but sure made their mark and helped make Eagle football and Eagles Fans what we are on this glorious day.
So without further adieu...- This one's for Randall "Let Me be Me" Cunningham and his Ugly Flap, because he was Mike Vick and Donnie Mac (and a 95-yard punter) before there was Mike Vick and Donnie Mac.
- This one's for Keith Byers, whose hit on Pepper Johnson was one that will always be remembered, they were, after all, college roommates, and Anthony Tony, the man with 2 first names.
- This one's for Ricky "For Who, For What" Watters, who gave Gruden the finger long before Chucky broke our hearts, and who refused to go over the middle long before Pinky "lost it in the lights."
- This one's for Buddy's Boys - the Greatest D ever assembled - Clyde, Seth, 'Dre "Dirty" Waters, Wes Hopkins, B & E , Mike Pitts, Izel "Toast" Jenkins, Mike Golic, Eric Allen, Ben Smith, and especially 1, 2, 3 J.B. #99. Bring it Home for Jerome.
- This one's for the late, great Minister of Defense, who won a Super Bowl in Green Bay, but deserved one in Philly. We know he's smiling down on Philly's faithful today.
- This one's for The Bounty Bowl, the Buddy Bowl, the Fog Bowl, The Body Bag Game, the Inch That Stole Christmas, 4th & 26th and all the other classics over the years.
- This one's for Mike Quick, Arkansas Fred Barnett and Calvin Williams, Chris T. Jones, Freddie Solomon, and Irving Fryar. It ain't, however, for James Thrash, Charles Johnson or Torrance Small. Sorry boys.
- This one's for Mike Mamula and his half-a-sack, Mike Mcmillan and all 5 foot 9 of him, Richie the K and his laminated sheet, the Doug Pederson Era, and Tommy Hutton who bobbled the snap on Monday Night in Dallas.
- This one's for Willie T, and Mike Zordich, two guys who could've played for Jim Johnson's defense any day.
- This one's for Guy McIntyre, only because he is forever Lou Tilly's "Guy in the Room."
- This one's for Stan Walters and Merrill, who proclaimed it Groundhog Day in ! December because "They give it to Smith and they stopped him AGAIN!!!"
- This one's for, Tony Bruno, Tom Brookshire, G Cobb, The Cuz, Big Daddy Gharam, Angelo, Arson Arnie and the rest of the Dirty 30 who always brightened the Monday morning drive because you knew someone was out there who shared your pain.
- And it's even for Wolfman Eskin, and his "Stone Cold Mortal Locks", always there to infuriate you on the ride home.
- This one's for Al Morganti, who created Wing Bowl and gave us something to talk about, care about and laugh about before all those Super Bowls the Eagles weren't in.
- This one's for Herm Edwards, who gave us "The Miracle at the Meadowlands."
- This one's for Vai Sikahema punching the goalposts and the ageless wisdom of B-Mitch.
- This one's for Bobby Hoying, who was Ben Roethlisberger before there was Ben Roethlisberger .
- This one's for "Who Framed" Roger Ruzek, Gary Anderson, and Chris Boniol, none of whom would stand a chance against David Akers in a street fight.
- This one's for Lester Holmes, Antone Davis and all the other draft busts that we'd like to forget.
- This one's for Bobby T and Troy V, who left just a little too soon but paved the way for Lito and Sheldon. It's not for Al Harris, who's still committing pass interference somewhere in Green Bay.
- This one's for Damon Moore, who chased and finally caught Ron Dixon at the 4-yard line as the Giants tried, but failed, to pull an 80-yard hook and ladder to prevent us from winning the division for the first time in decades.
- This one's for Brandon Whiting, who went to San Francisco in exchange for some guy named Owens.
- This one's for Duce, who, thankfully, took the Championship jinx with him across the state to Pittsburgh.
- This one's for the endless chants of DALLAS SUCKS, DALLAS SUCKS!!!
- But lastly, most of all, this one is for all the Philly Phaithful of Eagles Nation who've invested their blood, sweat, cheers and tears into this team and never s! topped believing that one day, some day, THIS DAY would arrive. How sweet it is!!!
Now let's go beat the Pats in Jacksonville!! E...A...G...L...E...S.......EAGLES!!!!!!!!!
