Now I deliberately avoid "professional" movie reviewers because a) its completely subjective and b) I so often disagree with them...(too many people fawning over movies that "supposed" to be good, because their either artsy or foreign and too much frowning over regular movies...
So here is my prediction about Invincible: It will be good, heart-warming and probably a bit too contrived. It is after-all a Disney-produced sports movie...and I figure it this way, I've seen The Rookie, and Miracle, and few other true-story inspired flicks...he'll be a doin' his thing, not terribly unhappy with his life, then get smacked with an opportunity, have to be pushed a little, they be looked down on, maybe have some creeping self doubt, a friend will give him a much needed boost, and he'll perform some strategic feat to lift his team to an improbable victory...Wanna bet me?
Look, Vince Papale was the epitome of Philly underdog and he made good on a fantasy that thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of area Philly guys have dreamed about...being that over-the-hill, weekend athlete who somehow makes it big; and he did during the Rocky heyday.
You know what, even though I think I know whats coming, I probably will enjoy the hell out of it cause its the E-A-G-L-E-S bay-bee. I'll give you my review after I see it.

Micc,
Concur with the Eagle's assessment. First team looked sharp and McNabb seems to be in good spirits and has put some "zip" on his throws.
As for my Steelers, I think Big Ben is still doped up from the antibiotics. To say that he was "pleased" with the Steelers first team effort makes us wonder if Ben is "too happy" on the field.
Oh well, that is why they play the game of football. See you on the grid iron.

thanks for stoppin' by man...the Steelers should be fine again this year...so long as Ben doesn't STAY satisfied with zero pt production...
