Who’d-a-thunk it? Turns out, when you play a few rounds of “I Don’t Trust Either Of You Motherfuckers” with the Philadelphia Eagles and the City of Philadelphia, you get awesome, hilarious results. When we last checked in on secret robotic villain/Iggles owner Jeffery Lurie, he claimed that he struck and “oral deal” (snarf) with John Street — a person known for high moral character and only the most morally pristine of business dealings — over $8M in back taxes owed to the city and now, obviously, badly needed. When the Nutter Adminsitration came a-calling, Lurie and his band of wordnumber-y stooges filed affadavits trying to establish the primacy of the ORAL DEAL. Now the City is countersuing, calling the Eagles out in the filing itself for being exactly the kind of sickening fucking crybabies you always knew they were, and whoa, shades of Eagles-vs.-Patriots here:

The Eagles would not petition, and no NFL Referee would allow the Eagles, to redo a play or try a different play from one done unsuccessfully earlier in the game. And, certainly the Eagles would not request, and no referee, let alone the NFL, would permit the Eagles, though the team, players and fans may wish differently, to redo a play or run a different play in a game completed years earlier, such as the NFC championship games in 2002-2004 (or even this year) or the Super Bowl in 2005.

In response, the Eagles have released their logo into the macrophysical realm to scream a high-pitched scream over the entire city, as shown in this amazing KYW 1060 graphic. We cannot hear that scream — or even see that Eagle fly — but rest assured, it’s killing us. Slowly.
