Good point, I agree, the World Series win would've been overlooked. Whether Phillies fans admit it or not, this is still a football town. I think it's ironic that the Phillies won it all before the Eagles considering the phils went 14 years between playoff berths-(93-07), & The Eagles have been to the NFC Championship game 5 times this decade. The Phils have shown a strong commitment 2 winning ever since '03, when there were plans 2 open Cit.Bank.Park, & they went after Jim Thome in free agency.

With the Eagles, eventhough they've consistantly won games, the only year they went balls out in free agency is '04-(they went after Javon Kearse & T.O.). It's a shame because most teams that get 2 a Super Bowl & lose by 3 points try 2 keep the team together & add the extra piece 2 put them over the top. That's why it hurts that we made it 2 the NFC Championship game again this year, but yet we let Dawkins, Buckhalter, Thomas, Lewis, Runyan-(probably), all leave, & we still need a WR as well...

Since I'm a diehard Philly sports fan, it hurts that sometimes I think Andy Reid & the whole Eagles franchise is cocky, when they talk 2 the media, with the coaching, etc. They Phillies are more fan-friendly, from Charlie Manuel on down 2 the players. Part of it could be that Jeffrey Lurie & this ownership group aren't from around here, while Ed Montgomery is, so theres that sense of hometown starvation for a title-(kinda like how it was wonderful that Jamie Moyer is from here & he got a title).

That's why it was inevitable the Phils beat the Eagles 2 the punch, & when I attended Game 4 of the World Series last year, when I went down Broad St. 2 party on 10/29/08, & when I went 2 the Phillies Championship Parade on 10/31/08, you could tell that this franchise will try 2 win another one, if not 4 themselves, 4 us, the fans. The Eagles sometimes seem, they don't exactly care about a title, just as long as they're competitive, the merchandise sells & there's 60,000 fans on the waiting list

1 thing a team never gets tired of is winning, because it's a taste that never gets old, or goes sour,so that's why The Phils will always hold a soft spot in my heart because I'm 30 yrs.old, & I was 5 yrs.old when the 76ers won it all-(so i don't remember it) & in '08 I finally attended a Championship Parade 4 my team,I didn't have 2 hear "City of losers" anymore,& the moment Victorino smacked a GrandSlam Homer off of C.C.Sabathia,I knew we had a legitimate chance 2 have a dream season,& we did.

as much as i agree with you, im never gona say im glad the eagles didnt win the superbowl
