I've been able to stay away from most of it. I've clicked off channels quickly enough that I haven't had to endure much. Radio talk shows I listen to really haven't been bombarding me with it, so that's been easy enough. I'm surprised but I haven't heard from Eagles fans I know.
Then this morning I saw the Foles "I'm going to Disney ..." spot on TV, blah blah blah, at least your wife's cute, but STFU.
Anyhow ... started thinking about the Disney commercials.
Small thing, but right along with all of our stories, stats, comparisons and comebacks we've shared to help digest this shit sammich, remember one more thing the Eagles can't ever do before we did.
Phil Simms, you just won the Super Bowl. Whattaya gonna do next?

Maybe this season desensitized me to Giants related trauma. I've put this entire season out of mind.
I'm fine letting the Eagles fans enjoy their win. I work with a lot of Eagles fans (we have a philly office) and my in-laws are mostly Eagles fans. No one has been obnoxious to me yet.
What bothers me more is that I thought it was a shitty Superbowl and I can't complain about it without being called biased. I like Defense and there was none of that on Sunday. I'd much rather see a 14-7 game then that arena league scrimmage we saw on Sunday.

I will say that the fact I have seen this coming for the last month has helped. I was more upset when the Eagles beat Atlanta than I was Sunday night. That was the game they should have lost and didnt. New Orleans would have given them a better game in NFC title round so when the Minnesota Miracle happened I figured they were going to the super bowl. I didnt trust New England or really anyone from the AFC this year.
They had to win sometime.

RE: Eagle Fans - the guy eating horse shit really speaks for their fanbase.
Yesterday I turned off the radio and played the Ipod driving to the boat. Beautiful day of fishing, 12hrs away from any eagles mentions. A mostly clear mind outside of saying "shitbirds" to myself about 90 times.
Then driving home there's 4 of them walking to the bar in new green jerseys. I beeped to get their attention and flipped them off. I should be a bigger person, but I'm not, I'm just not. Then I realized there is going to be a lot of new green jerseys and "lifelong" fans coming out of the woodwork. I tell myself "Well maybe they'll stop being such massive c***'s now that they've won". But I think we all know that ain't happening.
The thing is, having won four SB's, it's over pretty quickly. Sure the memories last, but that's not outwardly shown.
The Eagle chants and and crap will turn into a distant memory practically after their parade.......
Welcome to 2018 and having a target on your back.
Everybody is back to square one!

My wife of all people is telling me I need to get over it.
I'm calling law offices today.
Ugh.
I'm prepared to move on and let the 2017 season die the death it deserves but God help us all if the NFL puts us in Philadelphia next year's opening Thursday night. Aside from having little to no confidence we would win, we would be subjected to their banner ceremony, start out 0-1 in the division. Please send Dallas!
The amazing number of things showing Philly fans behaving horrible around the city, the shit-eater, the vandalism ... just makes me despise that franchise even more, if that's possible.
It's a different world now.
Couldn't have said it better..
The weirdest thing is its just like when the Giants are in the Super Bowl or win. I drove my girlfriend today to the train station down in Absecon, I expected that area to have Eagle stuff all over the place but there was absolutely nothing, except for one sign.
I guess the crazies who need to flip cars and dance on Taxi cabs are just in the cities.
My 22 year old sister passed away so the Eagles winning the Super Bowl isnt my main concern right now. I still of course wish they didnt win because that was one of the funnier things in sports going.
With all of their close calls with McNabb, Dawkins and Westbrook I feel as if their drought could've gone just a tad longer and they should've suffered longer.
I mean what did Eagle fans do the four nights the Giants won their Super Bowls? What, does their 1 Super Bowl (puke) have more value than the Giants 4?
Which is it?
Also, its hard to avoid the BBIers who rooted for the Eagles, They're almost as annoying as the real eagle fans.
& to make matters worse, I have to come here & read 'Giants fans' telling me they rooted for the Eagles because they hate the Patriots more or, my favorite one yet, we should root for our NFC East rivals when we're eliminated.
Nothing matters anymore. This sucks. And it's going to continue to suck. I'm going to avoid all things sports on Thursday.

This pretty much is spot on with my feelings. I need to vent a little. Here is my list of GFY awards:
Matt Ryan - You had the game in Philly won, but you came up small yet again. Shocker. Hey Matt Ryan, GFY.
Marcus Williams - That was without a doubt the worst attempt at a tackle and the worst situational awareness that has ever been displayed in an NFL game. Hey Marcus Williams, GFY.
Minnesota Vikings - I don't even know where to start here. You didn't deserve to beat the Saints and you cheated the rest of the country out of a real NFC title game. No one cares about your 'miracle'. All it did was lead to even greater heartbreak for your fans, which makes it a disaster. You are the Titanic and the Hindenburg of the NFL. Browns fans are happy they don't root for your team.
Just give up. You shared your tortured existence with us and it sucks. Hey Minnesota Vikings, GFY.
Brandin Cooks - You are the Marcus Williams of offense. WTF is up with trying to hurdle a defender that is standing up? Also, note for next season: You are not in the NBA. You don't catch a ball and wait for the play to develop. That's how you get (or should I say - got) ear-holed. You make me sick. Hey Brandin Cooks, GFY.
Matt Patricia - It's like the city of Detroit has not been through enough shit, now they get you. That was the best you could do? I know players play, but 41 points in the Super Bowl? No pass rush? I am so tired of your quirkiness. You are not a developer and you are not working for a tech start-up. Shave the damn beard, cut your hair and at the very least dress business casual at your press conference ... and apologize to the world for that shit show on Sunday. Hey Matt Patricia, GFY.
Bill Belichick - Really. You couldn't put Malcolm Butler in on defense just to see if it would slow the natural disaster of your defense on Sunday? It was sooooo important that he was made to suffer - along with everyone not rooting for the Eagles? That's a total Redskins move.
Congratulations on a point made. /sarcasm You're the GOAT and a defensive guy. 41 points. No pass rush? You didn't have any answers in that brilliant mind of yours?
Not your best night, Bill. I have too much respect for a GFY. I'm just disappointed.
Philadelphia Eagles and their Fans - Go Fuck Yourselves.
I didn’t mind seeing a shoot out. I’m always grateful when the game is competitive with a thrilling ending. And I was glad we got to see one great defensive play st the end. Oh, and seeing the missed kicks was thrilling too.

Me too. Plus the hand wringing already over losing both coordinators, esp. MikeyD. Of course the Butler 'Organization policy over football need' decision is the main noise. I love when there is dessension on or re the Patriots; it turns there fans inside out.

You need to let it go it’s really not that important. Two years ago I would of been in the same boat as you the 17 months ago my wife of 22 years passed unexpectedly and since that time my 20 year old daughter has been battling major health issues and has had 4 surgeries. So yes I was hoping the eagles would lose it’s not the end of the world.
As bad as this may seem there is a lot worse things that could happen
I could actually collect. We’re not that far apart!

I'm in my mid to late 30s. I have a family. I have a job. This really shouldn't put me in such a funk, but it has. I hate the Philadelphia Eagles more than any other team in organized sports. Hell, Duke men's basketball + USC football + Dallas Cowboys & we're still nowhere close to my level of hatred for the Eagles. I wanted to die knowing that that freaking franchise & their miserable little fans never tasted Super Bowl success.

Well said. When you start burying loved ones and have to battle illness and disease (self and with loved ones), the winners of football games just doesn’t seem that important. Even the Eagles, Cowboys, and Redskins. I guess when you are younger, you haven’t been there and done it (enough) to realize this simple lesson.
And I blame the fucking Giants for not stopping them along the way.
Great job 3-13
Fuck football

Of course you're right. And I'm sorry to hear about your personal issues. All the best.
I like to think we are all 'Chris in Philly', except for those BBIers that pulled for the Shit Birds. SMDH. Can we round them up and ban them or at least give them their own chat room?
You nailed it. Football will never be the same. Not sure what the long-term impact will be on my interest in the NFL. I really enjoy other fans' misery. It must be a personality defect on my behalf.
Actually, I think you witnessed the birth of a lifelong front-runner.
