Maybe It Just Wasn’t Meant To Be….
Over the years, I have learned that certain things just weren’t meant to be. As a kid, I always wanted a brand new baseball glove. I played every season for years and always used one my parents bought at a yard sale. It had to be 40 years old at the minimum. My little sister played softball one year with a brand new glove. A new glove for me to be proud of just wasn’t meant to be. In college, I spent a majority of my one class daydreaming about a believably good-looking girl that sat a row ahead of me, wondering what she looked like without all those annoying and frustrating clothes on but never found out. It just wasn’t meant to be. Life’s lessons never end because on Monday, I just realized another thing in my life that is not meant to be.
After suffering through a painful, horrific, and humiliating loss to the Washington Redskins Sunday, and trying to recoup from the loss, the hits just keep coming. Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook now has two fractured ribs. I don’t know who is in more pain; Westbrook or us Die Hard Eagles Fans.
Brian Westbrook is the heart and soul of the Eagles offense. No offense to QB Donovan McNabb but Westbrook is anything and everything to our offense. He instills fear in the minds of opposing defenses. Other teams have to account for him on every play. They have to spend all week game planning for how to stop him as a multi-level threat.Â
We know what the Eagles can do with and without “Westy”. We saw that for the 2nd half of the Steelers game and unfortunately the entire Bears game. With a current record of 2-3 and a 0-2 NFC East division record, can there be any worse time for this injury? My hopes and dreams of an Eagles Super bowl are fading by the second. Maybe it is just one more thing in our lives that is not meant to be.
With that said, “E-A-G-L-E-S!! EAGLES!!”
