Jingle Home Hard and Die Alone All The Way: A Set Hike! Festivus Special

Festivus arrives early as the Set Hike! crew celebrates the Eagles clinching the NFC East by arguing about Pro Bowls, economics, Christmas movies, Midwest accents, and whether watching a game “hard enough” affects the outcome. Computer Scott returns for another Make-A-Wish–caliber appearance, Stat Boy deploys an irresponsible number of monitors, and Josh Johnson is officially declared one of the Three Wise Men of the NFC East. Somewhere in between fights, field goals, and Die Hard comparisons, the Eagles look like a defense-led playoff team — or possibly Home Alone with shoulder pads.
