Funny, I haven't heard anything about bad Eagles fans (either in the national or local media). That isn't to say that there weren't any (but every team has its bad fans). It is unfortunate that things that happened 35 years ago (the snowball throwing at a drunken Santa Clause) have been perpetuated by the media. We are passionate. How else do you explain 30,000 un-ticketed fans making the trip.

Most of the "man on the street" interviews I saw last night and today, were of people who were heartbroken, but the talk was already of next year.

When the Eagles arrive today at 3:00 I am sure that the Airport will be swarmed with people who just want to say thanks for a great season.

Yeah, it hurts, especially when you are so emotionally invested in something, but it is, after all, just a game. And.......

There is always next year.
