Now we move on to the NFC East. I know, some of you have no idea what I am talking about in these posts, but a few people do, so I will keep going. This division is near and dear to my heart, so here it goes:
- Philadelphia Eagles: The Nexus. Certainly a force to be reckoned with, but has yet to claim the top prize. Got so desperate that they kicked out their strong leader that made them what they were for a charismatic and controversial younger star, returning from exile... The Nexus did it with CM Punk, kicking Wade Barrett out. The Super Bowl-less Eagles did it with Michael Vick, kicking my boy Donovan McNabb out. It is a fit. Still, no one knows how this team will do, but they are throwing all their faith behind their new leader, just like the young stars of the Nexus.
- New York Giants: Kane. The younger brother of the dominant Undertaker, who has won a title too, but everyone seems to forget it. When he is on, he is the best in the business. When he is off, it is almost painful to watch. Sounds just like Eli Manning to me. He is always overshadowed by big brother Peyton, even though they are tied with Super Bowl wins. The Giants have games where they look like world-beaters, then follow it up with dismal and disappointing performances. They are still intimidating, but are inconsistent. And no matter what, Eli will be compared to Peyton, just like in the picture below, Kane (on the left) can't escape being compared to his brother (right).
- Dallas Cowboys: Ted Dibiase (Sr. and Jr.): Doesn't the Million Dollar Man make sense for a team run by Jerry Jones. Nothing is out of reach, and everybody's got a price. Ted Dibiase Sr dominated the 1980s and 1990s as the Million Dollar Man, much like the Cowboys dominated the early 1990s and much of the NFL throughout history. However, this new verison, while loaded with potential and talent, just can't seem to get the job done. Ted Dibiase Jr hasn't gotten the job done either. He has great wrestling ability, but no character development at all. Can't rely on either to live up to the legacy of what came before.
- Washington Redskins: The Ultimate Warrior. Dominated in the past. Was fun to watch, tough as hell, and could beat anyone at any time. That was the Ultimate Warrior, and that was the Redskins of the 80s and early 90s. Then it all went to hell. Warrior got in disputes over money and left wrestling, become a super-conservative nutjob who pisses people off with everything he says. The Redskins were taken over by a nutjob who only cares about money and pisses people off with everything he says. Either way, neither Warrior nor the Redskins look to regain their once-great status any time soon. Warrior, however, was as tan as Mike Shanahan.
