Drew Brees Weekly Press Conf. 10-7-15

Some you know that I grew up as an Eagles fan. When they came to NO in 1980 and lost the Superbowl to Oakland, a freaking wild card team, that was the end for me. I knew that there was almost zero chance of moving back there, I decided to become a Saints fan.

Older Philly sports fans will remember how awful all of the Phila. sports teams were for decades. The Phillies won pennants in 1915 and 1950 and lost both World Series. There was a long standing sense of frustration within the fan base. More recently, the Phillies have won World Series, the Flyers have won the Stanley Cup, the Sixers had their championships. But the Eagles have never won a Superbowl. So now, it's not surprising that the Eagles fans are ******.

Decades of frustration followed by a championship...sound familiar? When I came over from the dark side, it only took 29 years. :hihi:
