Such is life as a Philadelphia sports fan.


Sports / Saturday, January 13th, 2007

On November, 19th after a devastating loss to the Titans where we lost Donovan, I said the season was over and our Superbowl was now on Christmas day against the Cowboys. It’s 2 months later and we got that Superbowl victory and much, much more. A sweep of the Cowboys, an unheard of 3 game road win streak against divisional opponents in the midst of a 6 game win streak where we somehow won the NFC East AND a wild card playoff game. This loss sure is painful, but I really couldn’t have asked for any more than this Eagles team gave us. It was a great run, filled with a lot of hope, but we knew the real Superbowl was just a dream and it was finally time to wake up.
