Right here!

My dad was an avid Eagles/Phillies nut, so I had no choice but to be a nut from day one.  We bleed Eagles green in winter, bright Phillies red in summer.  We are in the 'Really Loud But Respectful' category of fans.  Before anyone comments, the booing and throwing snowballs at Santa incident happened back in 1968 (against your Vikes, Pugmom!) for a reason, but it is brought up so often, it seems like it happened last year.  Anyway, I have liked the Vikings as a 2nd team since 5th grade.  I had a crush on a classmate he was a big fan of them.  He used to draw the Viking emblem for me.  I wore my Tarkenton jersey to impress him.  Didn't work, I was still just one of the 'guys.'  

As for the Eagles, I saw them once in preseason against the Dolphins years ago, and once here in Seattle against the Seahawks.  Would love to go back to Philly and see a game at the Lincoln.  The tone has been positive about their chances for this year; we'll see.  To quote a comic strip:  THIS is their year, and THIS time we REALLY mean it.
