The Universal Mo --Bob Brookover on the Eagles' win, The Philadelphia Inquirer, 12/31/06
The standard of "closing the door" not bound by any border, language, culture--or date on the calendar! Today, a sportswriter channels Mariano Rivera in describing the Philadelphia Eagles' win:
PHILADELPHIA - "Just as the paying customers anticipated, the NFC East title was hanging in the balance Sunday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field.
What excitement, what drama, what a way to spend New Year's Eve.
- Unlike two seasons ago, when the Eagles' reserves looked lost while playing the final two games after the team clinched home-field advantage throughout the playoffs,
- the backups put on a relief performance of Mariano Rivera proportions."
