How I Know For Sure That "Invincible" Is About A Philadelphia Eagle...



Our hero, Vince Papale's team goes 4-10.

Philly sports stories just don't end in championships terribly often. Art imitates life, I suppose.

That being said, I cannot wait to see this thing.

The reviews look good. Mark Wahlberg has gone from a joke in my mind to one of my favorite actors. Greg Kinnear looks like he really got into the role of Dick Vermeil, and they even enlisted the guy that played Grama in "Rounders". Seems like a recipe for success.

We'll see tonight!

UPDATE: Bill Simmons has come out of what seems like a yearlong funk and written one of his three greatest columns ever.

It's a masterpiece about a road trip he and his buddies took to Lambeau Field in beautiful Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Transcendant stuff, to be sure. Here's my favorite part:

We've passed at least 10 signs for cheese-related stores or foods so far. You have to hand it to Wisconsin: The people here have listened to every health-related study from the past 25 years -- watch out for fried foods, butter and cheese, beware of heavy beer, make sure you eat enough vegetables and fruit, try to exercise as much as possible -- and basically said, "You know what? If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I love Wisconsin.

Please read it all...
