Had it and lost it

by Duf Anything and Everything

I got to actually watch instead of just listen to my first Eagles game of the year last night. Witnessing the 27-7 loss to the Bears was not the best time to do it. In the first half the Eagles had some good things going. Saquon actually looked like the version of himself from 2024, running hard and effectively. Jalen actually showed some emotion and fire, something Eagles fans have always felt he was lacking. The Eagles scored with a split second left in the first half to bring the game to 10-7. However that was the end of the positivity.

The second half was pretty pathetic. The Eagles defense got torn up by Case Keenum, the Bears third string QB. The offense suddenly had no clue. Barkley couldn’t run anymore and they had a ton of 3 and outs. The 27-7 loss was in a word, embarrassing.

That being said, the fact that the Eagles were 2-0 coming into this game was misleading. They were fortunate to get those two wins, they certainly did not play impressive or consistent ball during that time period. Despite the various changes in the offense this year, including yet another new coordinator, it feels/looks like the same old song and dance. The defense seems to have lost it’s way as well.

I finished up my quest to level all of my characters in “Retail” WoW to the max level of 90 last night. That meant bringing 13 different toons from 80 to 90, 130 levels in total, a pretty sizeable task that I have worked on for most of 2026 in the spare time I have found to play.

Normally once you reach max level you turn to doing end game content but I chose a different path. Blizzard recently announced WoW Forever, a version of WoW Classic that is designed to be evergreen. Instead of releasing expansion after expansion it will be one game with a max level of 60 that will not increase. It’s something a large part of the community has been asking for for a long time and now it’s here.

So I jumped into WoW Forever which is in Beta right now and made a level 1 warrior to check things out. I didn’t have much time because I had to watch the Eagles stink up the field but I am looking forward to exploring this new flavor of WoW and see if it speaks to me.
