Eagle's Schedule and Predictions.

They are subject to change depending on who they gain in the draft, trade and FA and who they lose due to release, trade or injury.

Week 1: vs Jacksonville Jaguars

CMON MANNNNNNNN!!!!!

Win.

Week 2: @ Indianapolis Colts

Tough luck....AHH THE PUNS. Anyway....its primetime. Plus, the Colts are home. I just dont see them losing this game. They have a good all around team and they just outweigh the Eagles by a small amount. Im thinking they take it for those reasons.

Loss

Week 3: vs Washington Redskins

Desean gets shut down. RG3 gets sacked 3 times. Score over 20 for each team....still a good game though.

Win

Week 4: @ San Fran 49ers

The Eagles are usually a good team on the road and I believe they will be this year too. Its just not easy going across the country, then playing one of the best teams in the NFL right now. They match up well against us on both sides of the ball.

Loss

Week 5: St. Louis Rams

This game will be closer than a lot of people may think. The Rams arent that bad of a team at all...and have two top 15 picks this year, if they keep them. That being said, the Eagles win at home.

Win

Week 6: vs NYG

After going 500 up until this point in the season...Im thinking they finally get a streak going here for primetime. Im just not worried about the Giants, unless Super Eli is revived this year.

Win

Week 7: BYE WEEK

Week 8: @ Arizona Cardinals

Alright now this is getting a little out of hand. Yet, they continue to lose on the road here some how. The Cardinals want revenge for last year and this time the tables have turned. Another year under Bruce Arians will also help.

Loss

Week 9: @ Houston Texans

I see this year's Texans team, as last year's Eagles. Bad team with good players, drafting top 5 with new coach who came from college(although Bill O' Brien coached in the NFL prior and Chip Kelly did not)to revive a team that needs it a whole lot. However, the Eagles will take it to them as they need the win more at this time. It will be a tough one though for sure.

Win

Week 10: vs Carolina Panthers

This is actually the toughest prediction Ive had to do so far. I will say this though. Even the DBs before the draft can keep up with their receivers as they are now...or even if they do draft well I dont think one guy and Jason Avant can really destroy Cary Williams, Bradley Fletcher and Brandon Boykin. Theyre good against the run as well and I dont see DeAngelo Williams tearing it up.

Win

Week 11: @ Green Bay Packers

Last year was last year. This year they have Aaron Rodgers and probably have a similar feeling of revenge as the Cardinals did earlier. After a good game against the Panthers, they go against the determined, experienced Packers. It wont end well. But it will start a learning experience for the Eagles coaches and players. Im just being realistic.

Loss.

Week 12: vs Tennessee Titans

Who cares? Its the Tennessee Titans...they dont have shit. They're bums. No worries. Im just being realistic.

Win

Week 13: @ Dallas Cowboys

You really think that 'Murica's team is going to lose at THEIR stadium at THEIR GAME on 'MURICA's HOLIDAY? Nah....I know its hard for me to say too.....and I will be sad to see it. Im sure itll be entertaining. Voice your hatred and disowning for me in the comments below.

Loss

Week 14: vs Seattle Seahawks

The NFL is a very weird thing. Last year the team on a great winning streak got whooped by the inferior Vikings 48-20....this is the NFL, where shit happens. Why do I say that? Well...the Eagles get a lot of rest and the Seahawks have to travel across the country. Plus, they have a short week going into this game. Im thinking that maybe just MAYBE! The Eagles take advantage of that and they beat the Seahawks. I know for a fact, as of right now and after the draft, the Seahawks are a superior team all around. Not on December 7, 2014 though. If this was in Seattle though, no way the Eagles win. The Eagles use the fans and the Seahawks dreariness against them.

Win

Week 15: vs Dallas Cowboys

Sweet, sweet revenge! The angry, confident Eagles take it to the Cowboys after an amazing win over the Seahawks the week before. Causing a split and tying with them for lead in the NFC East.

Win

Week 16: @ Washington Redskins

After almost a full season of being with the new coaching staff and new players...the Redskins will be a much formidable foe this week than earlier. This time Desean Jackson fills up the stat sheet and the score board for the fans in his new home. That doesnt mean they win this game though.

Win.

Week 17: @ NYG

This will be a lot like the last game they played. Nothing to worry about....but again, if Super Eli shows up, it could end up a lot different.

Win

Overall record: 11-5

NFC East Champions, 3rd seed in the NFC. Beats the Cowboys in the Wild Card. Wins against the 49ers in the playoffs. Loses in the NFC Championship game against the Seattle Seahawks. Creating the first Super Bowl since 1993-1994 that the same two teams play against one another back to back. I have the Broncos winning that one and Peyton Manning running away with his Lombardi Trophy while Eli looks on in jealousy, like this...

 I won two super bowls first, you know. Gosh!

Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey Series Premiere Review

"Your God is too small!"

As are we...

While most of you were probably busy watching the Zombie Soap Opera that The Walking Dead has become, Fox revealed Cosmos to us. Cosmos is produced by Seth MacFarlane, don't know who he is? Here let me help you.

He made this

Thats right. The same guy who brought you Family Guy, American Dad and the much less popular, The Cleveland show, brings us Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey. Cosmos: ASO is a reboot of the show Cosmos: A Personal Voyage from 1980. It gave us a tour through the elements and theories of our universe. Today it is the same, but it is assumed that what we learned in the past 30 years, in both technology, effects and about the universe, will be added. The original series was well-received and narrated by Carl Sagan. This one is narrated by Neil deGrasse Tyson.

The first part of the episode takes us through the universe on the Spaceship of Imagination. It started with our planet, Earth, then continued through our Solar System, followed by the Milky Way, to the Local Cluster until it reached as far out as we humans had knowledge of. After that Tyson threw in a theory that we are just a bubble in an ocean full of other bubbles with their own universes. Each one, just as big as ours.

Still following?

"Are you feeling small yet?"

Ever felt that people judged you for your beliefs? Well it happened many years ago as well. The next segment followed an Italian monk named Giordano Bruno. His name may not sound familiar because he lived in between the times of Copernicus and Galileo. The animation was a great way to display what occurred over casting someone to do it in real life. This is where Seth MacFarlane's experience came in handy. He does some voices during the segment while Tyson depicts the story. 

Bruno was banished by many for describing that the Earth nor the Sun was the center of the universe. He believed that the Sun was just another star and the other stars had their own planets like ours. In the 16th Century, to think like this was seen as blasphemy. For these beliefs Bruno was burned at the stake. 

Bruno didn't question that God was real or the religions of that time. He just wanted for people to question their own way of thinking. He wanted for people to open their minds to much bigger possibiliites. Afterwards, Galileo discovered he was correct all along. 

Yeah...nice job religious people

"We are made of star stuff"

In the final segment, which was the most interesting part of the episode, Tyson uses a Cosmic Calendar to show off the span the life of our universe. Utilizing the normal calendar we have today, starting with January 1st and ending on December 31st, gave a comprehensible perspective of the beginning of time to today, while using a lot of somewhat cheap somewhat nice CGI.

Starting off with the big bang in January the universe was dark. After a while energy was pulled together to make stars. Then supernovas occured....which helped all things come to life. Thats right we are made from the energy of dying stars, at least thats what I got out of it. 

You see that big one towards the middle there? Hes going to be a REAL asshole

Around April or 4.5 billion years ago, our Sun was born. Then large rocks slowly began to revolve around it. At first our planet was hot but then it cooled and water formed on Earth. Tyson goes on to talk about how no one quite knows how life first formed. However, the first to drag itself on earth was the Ichthyostega(do your best to pronounce that).

In mid-December the dinosaurs walked the earth. In fact, it wasn't until the last day of the year that we, humans, lifted ourselves from all fours and walked on this planet. All the biggest people you can think of lived and died within a minute of this moment. Buddah was born seven seconds ago, Jesus Christ, five. So, do you feel small yet? Just thinking about that makes you realize that our time has only just begun. We are so young and immature. We have so much to learn.

Tyson concluded by paying homage to the original narrator, Carl Sagan. He talked about his achievements and how even though he was so successful, he invited a young Neil deGrasse Tyson to speak with him and also how inspired Tyson was to become the man he is today. 

THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS

I've loved shows like this since I was a very small boy. I remember Sam Neill hosting a similar show to it and being attached to the television the whole time it was on. In school, when astronomy and similar topics were discussed, I paid close attention. When those movies that were so slow and boring were on, I never fell asleep. I loved hearing about space. This show reminds me of those times. It gave me that eye-widening reaction I always get when hearing or reading about outer space.

I couldnt think of a better person to host this show other than Neil deGrasse Tyson. Seth MacFarlane proved he could make a show that wasn't just about crude humor. The commercial breaks seemed to come out of nowhere and right when things were getting good, but I guess Fox has to make money right? I'll watch the rerun on National Geographic and I cant wait for next week's episode. Sorry, The Walking Dead. Looks like I have a new favorite Sunday show.
