Loved enjoying the game last night with great friends.
Sports ain't everybody's thing and I get that. Hell, I have lots of other interests: Music, Film, Disc Golf, Food, Comedy, Trivia, and Theater all quickly come to mind.
But man nights like the Eagles winning the SuperBowl make me feel sorry for folks that just blow off sports entirely.
There is something unique about having watched literally hundreds of games - lots and I mean LOTS of which are meaningless. However the time we all get to spend together before, during, and after those games is far from trivial.
All those games are remembered collectively as good times spent with my Eagles Family. Last Night is the Night that we will remember forever. It was great time and I am glad we got to experience it together.

2009 Topps #91 Jason Peters
When I returned to collecting a little over a decade ago I took an interest in just about any type of card, but I quickly realized that I had the most fun when I was focused on Baseball. My football collection is in pretty much a disarray but I was able to dig up a couple of Eagles cards.
The Jason Peters above is interesting to me, because he is a 14 year veteran of the NFL and has been with the Eagles for about a decade. Unfortunately for Peters he was injured and did not get to participate in the SuperBowl as a player. However I believe I saw a player bring out his jersey at some point during last nights game. Good stuff to see and it is always good to see the Lineman getting respect out there.
Fly Eagles Fly!

Totally agree on the "blow off sports" crowd ... it's like they want to be miserable.
ReplyDeleteOf course, some would say people who root for perennial losers, want to be miserable.
Congratulations to you and all of your Eagles buddies!
ReplyDeleteThat game was the best!
