Armstrong Williams is completely right, and Rush is right on many points too.

I've been an Eagles fan for many years, I've followed them as close as any die-hard fan does. The fact about the Eagles for the past few years is that the defense HAS carried the team. In the past few years, look at the number of Pro Bowl quality defensive players that have played for the Eagles: Brian Dawkins, Blaine Bishop, Troy Vincent, Bobby Taylor, Al Harris, Hugh Douglas, Jerimiah Trotter, Corey Simon, Hollis Thomas, and Nate Wayne. Meanwhile, on the offense, there's Donovan and a few suspect Pro Bowl linemen. Donovan has never carried the Eagles, he's only carried the Eagles offense. Without those defensive players the Eagles don't even make the playoffs, hell, they don't even get 8 wins. In fact, watch Eagles games from the past two years. You watch the Eagles defense and it's just pure mayhem. At certain points you can swear you see certain guys running away for their dear lives, on top of that, you're almost laughing your ass off watching plays where Jim Johnson blitz's, like one for example where his two starting Pro Bowl cornerbacks blitz at the same time off both corners, the QB sees one, turns around to run, and gets nailed by other. Then, after the 4 and out, you watch Brian Mitchell have a great return. Then you watch McNabb and the offense come out, and struggle. In fact, the offense struggles against almost every defense in the league. Passes are off, guys are out of position, it's just horrible to watch, almost painful.

So, Rush was half right. Now I dare anyone to find evidence of a major network admitting that. Ain't gonna happen.

They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
