Passenger Trains > Philadelphia Iggles ride Amtrak

I just turned on the computer now and received this.  It's too late to go and watch for the train, now...

The Eagles lost 23-20.

don't F%#!N remind me ... i still haven't cleaned up the puke from watchin that damn game ...

These guys are so big, they appreciate the space and the ability to walk around.

Sounds like they, or the Giants. Patriots, Jets etc would make a great Amtrak commercial. Long line of 300 pound guys boarding a train...

"When you're this big, you appreciate our bigger seats.  Ride Amtrak.  First class seats at coach prices"

Realistically, any time New England plays the Jets or Giants, or any team among the New Yorks, Philadelphia, Baltimore, or Washington plays another of those teams, the road team ought to be "flying" Amtrak. Philly vs. New England is marginal in that regard.
