So now I'm a huge Eagles fan. I love seeing stories about the different players and seeing different groups performing the Eagles theme song on TV. There are signs in many businesses cheering them on, and how about them changing the sign for Boston Market to Philly Market? There are lots of people dying their hair green.
I would not recognize any of the players if I bumped into them on the street or in the airport, even if they were un uniform, but I'm superimpressed that Chris Long, donated his entire 2017 base salary of $1million to the Philadelphia school district.
As soon as they won the opportunity to go the the Superbowl, pop ups shops aka tents showed up on many street corners selling t-shirts and other souvenirs.
It's easy to be seduced. Years ago, which may have been the last time the Eagles went to the Superbowl. I spent the season sending an Eagles something or other to my son in law school. Each time the Eagles were scheduled to play, I sent him a mini football, or shot glass or balloon. As with any good superstition, I continued to do it and they continued on a winning streak. I don't remember what year that was, but it sure was fun finding Eagles memorabilia to send in the mail. It's hard to know if the recipient had as much fun receiving as I did sending.
So this week, as a fair weather fan, I had to purchase a few t-shirts:
Go Eagles!!!
How about free WAWA coffee all day today (til kickoff) in PA, MD, NJ, DE & VA!
ReplyDeleteFair weather sports fan. I love that. Never heard of it. What am I if I only watch the superbowl and mostly for the commercials. My girlfriends and I are actually having a Superbowl sewing party. We sew with the game on the tv and eat of course. Enjoy your day and I hope your team wins!
ReplyDeleteI am on the same page. Seduced is the word!
