Fly, Eagles, Fly!


Underdogs to Atlanta. Underdogs to Minnesota. Underdogs to New England.

A team that never gave up on itself, even after its franchise player went down with a season-ending injury. A team that in fact embraced the underdog moniker.

Superbowl champions.

Yes, it's just a game. But the best games are those that inspire hope and confidence in all of us.

Congrats to the Philadelphia Eagles on an amazing season and brilliant Superbowl against a very worthy foe.

Updated 8 am with comment from Chris Casey on Facebook: NBC should be embarrassed by how their announcers called this game. Al [Michaels] and Chris [Collinsworth] seemed very disappointed that the Patriots lost. They questioned the validity of Eagles touchdowns and overlooked an equal number of calls that went the Patriots' way. Dare I say that the Eagles gave a great effort, played well, and won the game because they deserved to?

Most happy for Merrill Reese! The voice of the Eagles for what seems to have been my entire life! Radio is the only way to enjoy the Eagles.

I believe Pederson and Foles bot mentioned their appreciation. I will say that the flea flicker against Minnesota and the trick play in which Foles ended up as a receiver were divinely inspired.

So the lord Jesus Christ wanted the Eagles to win? Personally I don’t think he has anything to do with any football games lol but people want to look cool and religious by invoking his name

Fly Eagles Fly! Been waiting for this for a long time, Super Bowl Champions!

And Chris Casey is right, Collinsworth and Michaels were just awful.

Go Iggles!

Agree with 9:21. If Jesus gets thanked in PA for the Eagles victory, should Jesus be cursed by Pats fans for a tough defeat?

Bernie O'Hare said...

Um, No one has said that God is an Eagle. The coach and QB just thanked him. He is not on their side. They are on HIs side.

The eagles had the best team spirit all year, best coaching, and no premadonas, they were able to stay on offense for 4 quarters. They really did earn the victory by playing sound football.

I really hope people leave the horses alone during the Parade

I watched the super bowl and could not believe how the announcers wanted the patriots to win they were not neutral at all.

Congrats to the Eagles!
Glad I am not the only one who picked up Al and Chris's bias all night long. Even after the Eagles win, they were continuing to talk about Brady and no one or anything else.

Al Michaels' slipping dentures and resulting speech impediment were very distracting.

Collinsworth much like Brady is a Trump supporter.

4:13, this is America and they can support whomever they want. Any attempt to turn this into a political discussion will be deleted

Yes...I thought Collinworth was a real downer in the second half. Even when Eagles seemed to be moving the ball, he kept hyping the Patriots.

Both Collingsworth and Michaels were total fools when they both predicted the Ertz touchdown call would be reversed. They didn't even know the rule about when a pass receiver becomes a runner, and only needs to break the goal line plane to be a touchdown. An embarrassing gaffe for the smartass duo.
