I have been a die-hard Philly Sports fan since I could crawl in subirban Philadelphia as a child. I never give up on my teams, and I never write them off until they do it to themselves.
There was no doubt in my mind that the Iggles would pull this off. I am not a gambler, but in my office, I even told folks last week (before the clilncher) that, if they played the pools, etc., then my upset pick of the week would be Detroit over Dallas. See, Larry, I am a phan of the Iggles and whoever is playing the Cowboys!
And now, Spring Training is less than two months off, and I am getting ready to root-on the Phightin’ Phils!
One thing that many of my friends out here do ahve to admit – Philadelphia is a great sports town – as long as their teams are winning!
Happy New Year and all the best to you in 2007!
