I wanna see the Eagles in the Super Bowl.

First off because they choked in the past three NFC championship games, and I can empathise with that (being a Vikings fan). So I want to finally see them in the Super Bowl after years of trying.

Secondly, I seriously don't want to see Michael Hype - err, I mean Vick in the SB.

GO EAGLES!!!!

And

GO STEELERS!!!!

1. I'm with you on the Steelers

But I'm rooting for the Falcons, which is probably why they are losing. But I really wouldn't have a problem with the Eagles making it to the Super Bowl. I think it's been something like 47 years since they won a championship.

2. Their last title

was in 1960. They beat Green Bay at Franklin Field in the only championship game Vince Lombardi ever lost.

5. January 20, 1981

The day Reagan was inaugurated and the hostages were released from Teheran, the Eagles lost 27-10 to the Raiders. The Superdome in New Orleans was wrapped in a huge yellow ribbon in honor of the hostages. It was in 1981, but from the 1980 NFL season.

7. No problem

I'll never forget it. I drove 25 hours each way to see my team get killed.
