When the Eagles got their first Superbowl win 7 years ago, they were the talk of the town for a little while…but one time may just be a _fluke._ The Eagles are now a TWO TIME Championship team. You think they have earned respect as a serious franchise? ---

Agreed. Kylie and Jason are a good romantic team. ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > AND Mahomes played about as poorly as he ever has - even when you couldn’t directly blame the pressure. On that Dejean pick-6, that was 90% Mahomes fault. He was scrambling, but that was a run of the mill play for him normally, but he completely spaced out on the coverage. And this was early in the game. There’s a great espn article explaining what the Eagles defense did on this play.

> [@SuntanLotion](#): > > Whats a strip sack? The reason it’s a specific term is because you don’t have to tackle the quarterback. Normally, a sack is when you tackle the quarterback behind the line on a passing play. But if you knock the ball out of his hands while he’s standing upright, that loss of possession counts as a sack even though he was never down by contact. Thus calling it a strip sack. ---

My oldest daughter moved from Kansas City to Philadelphia a couple of months ago and now lives on South 15th Street, just a block from Broad. She rooted for the Eagles and had a blast celebrating when the entire city went wild. I’m starting to think she’s a Super Bowl good-luck charm! I’m planning to move to Philly myself this year—my house in Florida is already on the market. Here’s hoping I don’t jinx the Birds next season. ---

When I was in uni, I had a roommate from Philly. Decent dude, but unreliable. Big Eagles fan. Trashed our TV by throwing a brick at it when the Eagles lost. ---

I came down from MA to go to the parade yesterday and it was unbelievable. At first my daughter and I tried to meet up with my brother & his son, but we were on opposite sides of Broad St so that proved impossible. We wound up watching from Pine & Broad. My personal high point was when Zack Braun shotgunned 4 beers while his bus was stopped opposite us. And Jalen could not have cemented the crowd more than when he said he’d never climb the Rocky steps until he could do it as a world champion. An amazingly fun time.
