I shed a tear this past Sunday, last week of red zone...that shit was my crack!

Btw...must say the eagles found a diamond in foles...and the D really picked up in nov! I'm rooting for them to go far...and I love chip Kelly's offence!

Thanks! "A diamond in the rough" I would say is definitely a good way to describe Nick Foles. Chip Kelly has exceeded all expectations this year. Most realistic fans here thought the team would do no better then 6-10 or possibly 7-9. The rest is gravy. I used to have the NFL Sunday Ticket which was like digital crack for me.

Cool. congrats that your team made it to the playoffs. I'm actually rooting for your next opponent next weekend as I would rather face saints than the 49ers.

Thanks buddy! I think the Eagles have a good shot at beating the Saints. Especially when they play outside their home dome. The Saints are almost a completely different team then. Not taking them lightly though. Anytime you have a hall of famer like Drew Breeze and some of the weapons he has playing, its going to be a fight.

Realistically speaking, I honestly don't know if the birds can beat San Fran. I definitely don't think they can beat your Seahawks at home. Short of a total collapse, I think the Seahawks are Super Bowl bound.

Eagle has transitioned to a legitimate franchise quarterback in Foles. Its time to put the pieces together and get its offense going. Eagles can take over NFC East for years to come, like what Bilichick was able to do with Tom Brady. Any time with top notch quarterback is always a contender. Look at Green Bay, they have a future Hall of Famer and the team won that superbowl with his arm. Look at Denver and they have 4 10 touch down receivers, a great line and a formerly great defense that is over the hill this year. They still have a great chance to take it home because they have a hall of famer quarterback. So if Foles can be the next Bree or Rogers, than Eagles will play late in January annually.

As for the Seahawks, they can definitely be beaten at home as AZ show how that can be done. That loss hopefully wake them up. All the teams in the playoffs are very good. And in any given Sunday, anything can happen. So as a hawks fan, I would rather that they have the easiest road. And that road would have Saints coming to visit as they are the weaker team compare to 49ers. In may opinion, the biggest threat to Seahawks winning the superbowl is not Denver, but the 9ers as they have a defense that is as dominating as the Seahawks, a great offensive line and running game. A good QB and some good weapons on the outside. Denver, as I mentioned, has older defense. Champ Bailey is a shell of his former self . And Von Miller is out. In playoffs, its the defense will carry the team.

Unfortun

Unfortunately, International Diplomacy doesn't work that way.
It may easier for you to suggest and troll.. but after all we are talking about International Relations.. Its not like two kids slapping each other...

Indian media and members here are talking like kids. Why not just follow the law and let the legal process sort itself out.

Did you know what LAW is? ........ or the avg american also know?

DID US Law said it can arrest any UN member ? please let me know if you now LAW or any of your US personal know its own law ......

 

[boomslang]

She's a consul, not a diplomat. She has no diplomatic immunity. She's toast !!

Your diplomat is no UN member. She was arrested, charged and now free on bail. Her passport has been confiscated.

Stop supporting human trafficking in America.

Application for transfer of Devyani to UN still under review: US - The Times of India


WASHINGTON: The US is still reviewing the application for the transfer of senior Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade to UN and issue the necessary documents for full diplomatic immunity, a top official said here, giving no timeline for its decision.

"It is under review. We cannot predict when that review will be complete," said a state department spokesperson on Tuesday in response to a question on the status of the UN request to grant full diplomatic status to Khobragade.

The state department had received her application from the United Nations in New York on December 20. Normally, the state department takes a decision on this very quickly, but this time the US is taking an unusually long time.

"We cannot compare this to previous requests as each request is evaluated on its own merits," the spokesperson said.

Khobragade was arrested on December 12 on charges of visa fraud and misrepresentation. At the time of her arrest, she was deputy consul general at the Indian Consulate in New York.

The US says, in this capacity, she did not had full diplomatic immunity.

Days after her arrest, the Indian government has transferred Khobragade to the permanent mission of India to the United Nations (UN), with the view that this would give her the necessary diplomatic immunity from arrest.

India has strongly objected to her arrest, and in protest has withdrawn many of the diplomatic privileges granted to the American diplomats in India.

As one enters the New Year, the Indian diplomat continues to remain in the US without diplomatic immunity. She is currently on bail bond of $250,000 and her passport is in possession of the court.

The average American? We have it on good authority from a famous ex-Vice President of the country, Dan Quayle, that "USA is the greatest planet on Earth"!

@thesolar65 Enjoy ...for you !!!

Same 'Dumb' Dan Quayle who spelled ' potato as ' potatoe' ???

I guess he was 'one' of the 'many' retarded American politicians .... whose self obsession is beyond measure ...!!!

You must be stupid enough to choose to 'quote' moron like your ex vice president Dan Quayle ....!!!

Guess you don't have much choice there ....

Dan Quayle ....Your Famously stupid ex Vice president ....

I guess India should just roll over and let US take the moral high ground. Or sit back and think about how to deal it sensibly !

Either way .. empty threats like we will arrest the gay US ambassador as a response is too childish !

Devyani Khobragade case: India awaits authorised US response, to pursue privilege issue | NDTV.com


New Delhi: Ignoring assertions by unnamed US officials that the case against senior diplomat Devyani Khobragade will not be withdrawn, India today said it would continue to "seriously" pursue any misuse of diplomatic privileges by the US diplomats in India.

Dismissing reports from New York quoting US officials to say that they are going ahead with the indictment of Khobragade on charges of visa fraud, the Spokesperson in the External Affairs Ministry said in "pluralistic democracy" there were many voices but the government will respond to "designated channel" which was US State Department in this case.

He said the US State Department has conveyed that a process was on to look into the entire arrest incident and India was "awaiting for an authorised response" and asserted that there was a "reflection of regret" which was conveyed both by US Secretary of State John Kerry and the State Department.

Asked about delay in submission of details by the US Embassy about the Indian staff employed by its missions and individual US diplomats, he said, the government was still awaiting details required the Embassy, which has requested some more time in view of the holiday season.

"We are processing lot of information and variety of thoughts and make no mistake, we are serious about processing and pursuing this matter," he said.

India's demand for these submissions was made in the wake of the arrest and strip-search of Khobragade, the 39-year-old 1999-batch IFS officer, on December 12 on the charges of underpaying her domestic help.

Meanwhile, the ministry was also investigating the "leads" it has got on the misuse of diplomatic privilege in signing-off the tax exemption for the air ticket purchased to "evacuate" from here to New York the family of Khobragade's absconding domestic help Sangeeta Richard.

It is understood that the government knows the identity of the US diplomat who has used his privilege to sign-off the tax exemption for Sangeeta's family. It is now investigating as to who purchased the ticket, which was issued by the official travel agent of the US Embassy.

Asked if the UN had informed the US State Department that the Indian diplomat had full immunity at the time of arrest as she was accredited as "Adviser" to it, the Spokesperson said,"I will find it very surprising that an international organisation does not, periodically, inform host government about those who they have accredited".

Since the UN accreditation happened on August 26, it is assumed that the host country was aware of Khobragade's status, he said, adding that the Indian diplomat repeatedly kept telling the US authorities at the time of arrest that she has diplomatic immunity as the Deputy Consul General.

No point in time was she asked if she had additional immunity, the Spokesperson said, asserting that the "victim (Khobragade) cannot be blamed" for not talking about her additional immunity.

He also noted that government has "set in motion" the process of monitoring and assessing the inputs and details it has sought from American Embassy by setting up a special group, comprising inter-divisional experts, including from legal, financial and human resources departments of MEA which will meet regularly and "may be on daily basis, if need be".

With India deciding to enforce strict reciprocity about the privileges enjoyed by American diplomats posted in the country, the government has withdrawn extra privileges enjoyed by American Ambassador Nancy Powell and other diplomats such as special access at Indian airports
