On Tuesday, Eagles quarterback Michael Vick celebrated his 32nd birthday. To commemorate the occasion, the division rival Cowboys sent along the following congratulatory tweet:
Happy Birthday Michael Vick from #CowboysNation we can't wait til November, can you?!? twitter.com/dallascowboys/…

Predictably, the Eagles weren't impressed, but were more than happy to point out that, you know, Philly crushed Dallas last season. Twice.

The Eagles won 34-7 in the Week 8 matchup, and outscored the Cowboys 20-7 in Week 16, when Dallas was desperately trying to make the playoffs. (In the end, both clubs finished 8-8 and watched the postseason from their respective couches.)
This fall, the teams will meet at the Linc in Week 10 (November 11) and again in Dallas three weeks later (December 2). Clearly, this is all Tony Romo's fault.
