Go Iggles!

 

Ah yes, that is yours truly at the top of the stairs (of course)

The Philadelphia Eagles football team will be playing the San Francisco 49er's today at 3 PM EST for the National Football League championship.

The picture above was taken in the year 2001 when I worked at First Financial Bank in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. That was the year the Philadelphia Eagles were going to the Super Bowl in New Orleans. Unfortunately they lost but hey, always exciting when your hometown team goes to the Super Bowl.

I've always been a Philadelphia sports team fan from my preteen days in the early Fifties. I don't follow all the games closely during the season like I used to in those black and white TV days but when a Philadelphia team has a chance to win a national championship or World Series, I'm there!

I have a feeling the "Iggles" are going to the Super Bowl and completely roll over whoever the American League winner is.

Sports competition are so important to our mental health. We humanoids have a natural need for competition. Sports competition is also another way for us to get relief from the every day stresses and pressure of our daily lives.  If you're not a sports fan then something is the matter with you. My opinion of course but there it is. 

Go Eagles!

My co-workers Christine and Renee at First Financial Bank February 4, 2005, the last time the Philadelphia Eagles went to the Super Bowl - unfortunately they lost but not this time!

Super Bowl Sunday folks!

I don't usually watch the Super Bowl but I will this Sunday.  That's because the Philadelphia Eagles are in it. 

The last time I was this excited about the Eagles being in the Super Bowl was in 2005 when I worked at First Financial Bank in Downingtown. 

Somewhere in my 90,000 plus photos I have a picture of myself in my Eagles shirt but I can't find it now so this one will have to do of my friends Renee and Christine.

Folks, I'm convinced that the Eagles are going to win this Super Bowl. As a former resident of center city Philly, I wish I was there when the celebrations commence.

I was in Philly when the Philadelphia Flyers won the Stanley Cup.  Yep, I was right in the middle of it.

I was also living in Center City Philly when the Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series in 1980. What a night that was!  You could feel the electric energy flowing though you.

Unfortunately I won't be in center city Philly when the Eagles win the Super Bowl but I tell you what folks, my heart will be there.  

And this victory will be sweet because the Eagles (of course) are the underdogs. Philadelphia is almost always the underdog. Well, this time they're going to win and wipe that smirk right off the face of the Patriot's self-satisfied quarterback, Tom Brady.

Fly Eagles!
