Ski Mask Is The New Dog Mask
After last Sunday’s guy-wrenching outcome in Dallas, I had this whole big post written out. It was a huge rant (like most of the shit on our blog) about how the worst part of that fumble recovery call was the new trend it stripped us of: the ski mask.

After that loss to the Cowboys, it felt like the Eagles as a team, were dead in the water. They were physically done, we as fans were emotionally done. But, before I hit “publish” on my post about the ski mask trend dying too soon due to the season essentially being over, something stopped me. I realize now, it was the spirit of Big Dick Nick telling me not to concede just yet. I am so thankful I didn’t run that post…because WE ARE ALIVE AND WE ARE BACK.

A lot of colleges have a stupid turnover gimmick they use on the sidelines with a prop like this. The only really cool one was the turnover chain. But, by God, if they keep this thing rolling I will go from, “eh, turnover gimmicks seem corny” to “I am getting married in a ski mask”. They have stolen the game, and my ability to think rationally about the playoffs.
Just when you thought you were out, they pull me back in. I don’t even care, inject this team and the ski mask trend directly into my toes so it hits my veins in a hurry.
Dog masks are so last year.
