The thing about being a Philadelphia Eagles fan or a journalist covering the team is you’re never short of a few compadres. Football is awesome. It connects people from diverse backgrounds, ages, affiliations, geographic areas, and belief systems.
One thing we can agree on is that we love our Birds. We love our game. We love Eagles of the past and present, and we even love the Eagles who haven’t joined the team yet.
Something as simple as a win on Sunday can carry an entire fan base through a rough week. Something as simple as a hello on the way to work can inspire a young fan.

That’s so cool. That young Eagles fan will never forget those moments.
Stories about athletes failing or making bad judgment calls are run on every platform. Every news channel will recycle that story for hours on end. These stories aren’t told enough. It’s hot outside. Players are headed to work and another grueling practice, but they stopped for a moment. They took some time to make a young Birds fan’s day a little brighter.
We’ve said it before. This is a team full of characters, but lucky for us, they’re character guys. It makes it so easy to cheer for these guys. It makes one feel like there is nothing better than being an Eagles fan.
