He has been rooting for the team since its inception in 1933! He looked pretty good when NBC showed his picture on TV.

..there's a clip of his reaction to the win....and I truly hope it extends his life for a few more years.

I know they won the NFL title in 1960, but there's only one 1st SB win.

"Yeah, startin' to look more like a fish..."

. . . eat shit, Chris Collinsworth, you insufferable, incompetent, overpaid horse's ass.

I have decided not to watch another game with Collinsworth as a commentator.

I'm so freaking happy they lost I can't even tell you.

Everyone knows that Brady voted for Trump right? I love he LOST to the team from the Birthplace of the CONSTITUTION ... Brilliant!

RIGHT BEFORE that strip sack I posted on my team's message board in teh game thread "BRADY'S CRAZY LUCK RUNS OUT NOW!!!" ... then BOOOOOOM ... Brady Fumble that effectively ended the game next play!!!

I freaking LOVED IT!!!

Eat s**t, Tuck Rule Brady!!!

will deflate their balls!

That was pretty sad listening to him. What a putz.

Congratulation Philli's fans. Now go out there and get arrested.

So YAY!

Congratulations to the Eagles fans, good job, well played tonight!

And have another upset victory for the underdogs

The Super Bowl went Blue!!!!


Eat it, insufferable smug cheater puke brady.

I don't mean to sound like a PIA, but I sure didn't want to see Mr. Arrogance win again. I'm from Pgh. and I know what a great quarterback is like. NEVER did I ever see arrogance in Terry Bradshaw. To this day, since he's now one of the announcers, he still doesn't act like he's better than anyone else. With Brady, that's all I saw. I'm happy for the Eagles & happy for Philladel;phia, asnd happy for awll the fans in Pennsylvania. GREAT GAME!

.....tisk...

Actually, it does seem impossible, but never-the-less...

Some head scratchers - why the Pats sat their all year corner Butler. The pass TO Brady.

And the shredding of the Pats D.

Like I said - best team tonight won. It was a whiplash game - the ball moved up and down the field so fast!

I DID want to see Bradys face after Foles made HIS catch for that TD though

that Philadelphia spoiled Brady, Belichick, Kraft, and Trump's night tonight. I fully expect Trump to tweet that New England won by the greatest amount ever since Super Bowls began. It really must have screwed with his version of reality tonight. I hope he lost a LOT of money wagering on his fellow fascists as well.

Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles and their fans. It's been a long time coming.

Donnie and his fascist pals in New England weren't supposed to lose. Trump must be planning to nuke Philly or something.

the Constitution - a document that was drafted and signed here in Philly.



(Philly don't play )

Were the underdogs for every game in the playoffs. Phinally!!!!

I heard the Eagles and the NE Patriots were in the Super Bowl about 10 years ago..

Congratulations! So what years were #1 and #2? "2004" and what's the other one?

Philly Eagles!

Was at my sister's house and am running on fumes this morning.

Our SB appearances were 1981 (against the Raiders), 2004 (against the Patriots), and of course last night against the Patriots.

my son.. he's the one who told me the Eagles and TNEP played about 10 years ago.

I had heard earlier on here it was "2005".. just off by a year. It was awhile ago.

Mahalo.. Love the Eagles!

Some Philadelphia Eagles players boycotting White House visit over Trump

And got a 2018 Conference champs shirt a couple weeks ago. Can now get a Super Bowl champs one!

The city was doing all sorts of wild things to not jinx it.

Saw the thread about the boycott! Maybe Brady can do the honors at the WH - 2 losers together!

I'd like to hear more about that!

Weird.. I just googled Brady and skipping out when President Obama had the NEP at the WH.. and saw he skipped last year when they won, too..

Oh well.. no chance this year!

Yay Eagles

Phila City Hall, the largest completely masonry building in the world, is topped by a statue of our commonwealth's founder, Wm Penn. Usually when Phila sports teams are involved in the playoffs, the statue gets adorned with the jersey of which ever team is playing. But this year, Mayor Kenney didn't do that so as not to "jinx" the team.

the cup run in 1997 after they did this -



And the Phillies had earlier missed out on the World Series in 1993 -

It worked!

were related to putting team hats and what not on the statue of Billy Penn on top of City Hall - like they did a few times for the Phillies and Flyers and they ended up with subsequent losses. I think that was why PECO said they didn't include any Eagles messages as part of their lighted message scroll on top of the building. They plan to add something now!

Here are some articles on the superstition preps -

I don't blame Philly for doing everything they could to break the losing streak!

What they did before wasn't working.. so let's do it differently this year.

snip// from first link..

(eschewing bragging), where William Penn, who was a big Quaker and scoured through a number of villages in what is now modern Germany, brought many Quakers here in the 1690s and later. They were abolitionists and many of their descendants are still here.

bragging isn't good.

Quakers sound like really nice people.

I just flashed that Nixon was one.. like trump is a "Christian" evidently.

They got that when they signed James Harrison after he pouted his way out of Pittsburgh. Harrison disrespected the Steelers, the Rooneys and most importantly, the Towel. Nothing turns out well for those who do that.

We were the only one left in the NL East without a SB title!

and the Superbowl was actually played in Feb., 2005.

2005 it is!

Chris Long, LaGarrette Blount and Malcolm Jenkins. The first two were with the Patriots last year and they didn't go (they made statements about it, too)

Let's see how many more won't go, either.

Congrats Eagles!!!

As someone who grewup hating all teams Philly, I enjoy the fact that the New England Panderers got humbled.

My houseful of Raiders fans were rooting for you

Damn, it's good to see those cheaters lose

Philly is going nuts. My older son he didn't believe this many fireworks existed in the Universe. And our friend Tommy V, whose only wish was to live long enough to see the Eagles play the Super Bowl, got his wish. And more.

Even my husband, born and bred in Philly, was speechless. Unreal! The Eagles really flew tonight. Right into the history books. Congrats to all.

I wish I were on Broad St right NOW! I lived in Center City a block away...WE DESERVE THE WIN!

We are a BLUE/DEM city ...Founding Fathers and history surrounded me growing up. My family has been there since the 1700s and we are immigrants, union workers and ALWAYS DEM!

Amazing!

will be late for work if they even go in at all knowing how thrilled the fans are.

They could maybe justify that due to the marginally freezing temps after the rain we got yesterday and then a temp drop.

City schools are open though and I'm sure many schools and businesses will have a larger than normal absentee rate - although people could still claim "the flu" which is running rampant here.

I still remember my school closing number (318) 37 years after my graduation. I prayed for that number to be called on the radio. It would go like this ; 315, 316, 317,319, 320....

Are you going into work? I doubt it will easy to focus on work for a few hours at least.

Good game by the Iggles. I knew the Pats were running on fumes - playing with smoke and mirrors all year.

since he doesn't associate with losers!

himself, too

get to spend the off season contemplating this loss and the fact that they traded away their next star quarterback....sad

The future is past.

I live in the Philly suburbs, and after the game last night lots of folks were running around the street, hollering and shooting off fireworks. I don't normally watch football, but even I watched last night. It was sweet to see the Patriots go down, since they are "Trump's team." It was even sweeter to see our hometown team win. Newly minted Eagles fan here!

but always did wonder if innovation could beat the rigid mindset of coaches that play by the rules. In the day, many wore fedoras, no?

Line up for 3 downs like the Maginot lines, then punt. Rush through the middle where all the players are.
Size and weight trumps speed. Only experienced players and coaches are any good. No one from outside
the big leagues understands anything about it.

Guess we saw where that mentality went. Home.

The Eagles won something? This is the peak of something. All bets are off.

Looking forward to all the sports hacks eating their words, today.
