"Dog Tale as Regards the "Philly Corner" Chapter of the Hangover. Reader Ernest Bowker of Vicksburg, Miss., only attended one Eagles game in his life, but it happened to be at the Vet, and it happened to be a playoff game against Detroit after the 1995 season. The Eagles, class franchise, spared no expense for halftime entertainment, and brought out the "Frisbee-Catching Dogs," your garden variety "Can't Miss" intermission program. Bowker writes: "The first one goes, and absolutely lights the place up. He's running 30-yard outs, jumping eight feet in the air, the trainer is putting the Frisbees right on the money, the dog is catching everything and the crowd is just going nuts. Then, the second dog goes. He doesn't do so well. The poor mutt drops a couple of Frisbees, the trainer throws a couple over his head -- it's just not a good day to be a doggie: Especially when the fans start BOOING! That's right. In true Philly fashion, the Eagles crowd booed the Frisbee-catching dog."
My view: If you don't want to hear the boos, then make the play, puppy. It's a tough world, kid"
