Nothing says Happy New Year like seeing the Cowboys get whooped by the second worst team in football, while the Eagles clinch the NFC East (for the 5th time in 6 years, baby!) and take down Atlanta with a full lineup of 2nd & 3rd string players. Playoffs, here we come!

I’m intrigued by this meme, even though I’m pretty sure its some sort of spam. But it’s not about a mortgage or a penis enhancement, so I’ll play along. Especially since, as a nonprofit fundraiser, I’ve got a vested interest in how people think about giving.
