Web Content Writing for Yack.com Summer, 1999 Author's Note: Working on contract for Yack.com in San Francisco, I was asked to write short descriptive content to accompany NFL football schedules. Now, I didn't and still don't know diddly about professional sports. At the desk right next to me, inaccessible through his Walkman headphones, sat a guy with an encyclopedic knowledge of football, all the players and the teams. Yack had him writing about music and film, two subjects I know a lot more about. The editors were well aware of this. True to my pledge that "I can write anything," I plunged ahead flying totally blind. The result has to be some of the finest b.s. ever to hit the web. Apparently the editors were pleased. Next they had me take on baseball. -RSM
NY Giants The Giants may have had a mediocre season last year, but Philadelphia's was altogether dismal. The eagle may get out of this one without losing too many feathers.
Philly @ Chicago The Bears and the Eagles ought to just go out for pizza and skip the game judging by both teams' standings last year.
Philly @ Carolina Another match between two teams with very so-so records last year. It will likely be a joust between a de-clawed cat and a bird with a penchant for eating winery mice.
St. Louis @ Philly The Rams will be packing up the Arch and squeezing it into a carry on bag for this game against the Eagles. Philadelphia, for its part, will be gathering tree-sized branches, twigs, and carpet fabric for its largest-ever welcoming nest.
