I was just thinking the other day about when and how I got into sports forums; it was back in 2000 not too long after I started my job in Harrisburg that I started posting on philly.com forums. I know some of you go back that far (or further) too. Well, I was thinking about that troll poster "Division Champions". Some of you remember him - he was a delusional Redskins fan (are there any other types of Redskins fans?) who liked to talk smack. The thing I was thinking about that is funny is how "Division Champions" came up with his moniker after the Redskins' 1999 NFC East title, the team's first in 8 years. If we were still on philly.com, I think he would have had to change his name...
NFC East titles since 2000:
Eagles: 6 - 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2010
Giants: 3 - 2000, 2005, 2008
Cowboys: 2 - 2007, 2009
Redskins - 0
As inept as the Eagles are this year, one thing I'll be thankful for is they aren't the Washington Redskins, a joke franchise since 1993 (5 winning seasons, 3 playoff seasons, 1 division title, 2 playoff wins, 1 home playoff game). "Division Champions" indeed.
