I will root for them against the KCC team. It’s freeing to not care about either team. Just calculating the number of gummies required to get thru Brady.
That team has been good for like 25 consecutive years and have been to 4 Super Bowls this century and the fans still act like they have to root for the Browns or something. Insufferable.
Eagles fan here, and yeah, that's valid (and about what most of us deserve tbh). In retrospect we were kinda obnoxious when the Eagles beat end-of-prime Brady in '17. If they beat prime Mahomes? People'll beg for Brady to come out of retirement just to shut the worst of us up.
This Super Bowl is a like a new AC/DC album. It'll probably be OK even if we've all heard the same beats and notes arranged in a different way before. When it's over, we'll sit there slightly disappointed that we expected anything better.
My comment on the posting of the news item below after it got dusty suddenly was:
"I am an old school fan of the DC team.
I have had major issues rooting for Eagles even though Saquon deserves a ring.
But dammit...I'm in tears and rooting for the damn Philly team now."
I'm going to eat well, hang out with some good people I haven't seen in a while, and probably complain about AI a lot. A good game would be a nice plus I guess?
I have more than a couple friends that are not watching the game because they are “protesting“ the two teams that are in it. I mean, what the hell else are you gonna do on Sunday evening?
To be fair, both teams are probably filled with MAGA loyalists, but it’s only the Chiefs players who wear it on their sleeves. That’s enough for me to hold my nose and root for the Iggles.
Iggles (admittedly almost all different players) declined to go to the White House in 18. Iggles owner is one of the most liberal in the league, Chiefs is big-time MAGA funder. And Donnie is rooting for the Chiefs. More than enough for me.
i'm afraid this game is gonna be like Broncos/Panthers. one team proves to just impregnable and it's not a *completel blowout* but it's over by the 3rd quarter
For the first time ever I am completely uninterested in the Super Bowl and have no plans to even watch. I don't want to waste 3 hours of my life being bombarded with stupid commercials and other banal bullshit. Not worth it. (Maybe I'd feel differently if the Bills or Commanders had made it in.)
I'm rooting for the Eagles to win on the condition that Butker pulls a Norwood. Trump will probably say it was good the next day and reverse it but that twerp needs some humiliation.
When Barkley runs for 200 yards and Hurts goes 11-21, 140 yards and 0 TD’s in a Super Bowl victory, the fans will be hurling slurs at the Tv when Jalen receives the trophy.
I’m a Philly transplant from yinzer country, but I still like saying it bc in my heart I’m just thinking about all the cool birds in the world (warblers, nuthatches, etc.). So yeah go birds.
I'm not watching the game. I wish both teams could lose. Id just rather the birds lose less at this point. Especially because they'd never go yuck it up with the slob in the white house, and he needs to experience that rejection
I'm not saying AD and Kyrie won't be good. But why TF did they never get Luka a legit center? Lively might end up being good, but he hasn't shown he can even stay on the court. I can't fathom how anyone can come to the decision to trade Luka f'ing Doncic.
Yah y'all been thru it for a long time 😭
A good friend of mine is from Philly. He was never a sports fan, but his dad was. His dad was a firefighter who died from cancer in his 50’s, and his station and neighborhood, and my friend, all use Philly sports to remember and honor him. Does that help?
I respect this. Know it’s now good against evil. Believe me…..you want the birds to destroy the red, racist radicals. And….when the birds win, they will decline the trip to the WH! 🖕🏻🍊🤡👹💩
I’m rooting for the lowest viewership in Superbowl history to send a loud and clear message to the board and the advertisers that acquiescence has consequences.
As a Giants fan, I've hated the Eagles all my life. And yet, at 42 years old, I can't help but appreciate them and their fans. But I won't go so far as saying "go birds". I'm probably rooting for Chiefs, and it will become evident as the game goes on.
I am about the same age as you & as a giants fan living in South Jerz and I'm reluctantly pulling for the iggles. Better Saquon does, the dumber the giants look.
The @nflbluesky.bsky.social is losing fans like Trump loses hair.
I’m done with the NFL. Cowering to a fascist, removing ‘End Racism’ from EZ’s when black players ARE THE LEAGUE is absolute, unadulterated weakness and is beyond shameful

But one of the Eagles' starters went to the school I used to teach at, so it would be pretty cool if he was on a Super Bowl winner.
+A fan base willing and able to climb some greased poles.
+The conclusion to the Giants off-season Hard Knocks that we deserve.
I'm not expecting the ratings to be all that great, even if the game is as close as I think it will be until Mahomes does his thing at the end.
"I am an old school fan of the DC team.

An embarrassing 0-0 tie at end of regulation
A 3-0 win in OT
Appreciate the half-assed support tho 🤝🏽
I can relate when it comes to dipshit owners... being a Sixers fan and all 😢 true suffering. Years and years of suffering 💔
Yah y'all been thru it for a long time 😭
#TrustTheProcess
If you’re at the Super Bowl #BOOOOOtrump
KC is a blue dot between 2 very red states.
40 years of hatred for the Flyers, Eagles, Sixers, and Phillies can’t just magically be undone. Not even for 4 hours.
*Does not apply to Donald Trump
Couldn’t care less.
