The genius has spoken, again

Jason Mulgrew

A fellow Eagles fan - finally, someone understands me -


Come Monday, I may be dead. In a good way, in a bad way, but dead just the same. The most important day of my life will be this Sunday......... Super Bowl Sunday. If you're not from Philly, you just can't understand. I've tried to explain "it" to people, and they just look at me like I've just shot up some heroin and am trying to explain the theory of relativity (which I couldn't do straight, mind you).

As a city - we need this. Plain and simple. Nothing compares, nothing is as good, nothing is more important. I wish more than anything I could be there, be home, to watch this event actually happen. It's hard to even let myself think about it - because when I begin to get just a taste of the realization that the EAGLES ARE IN THE MOTHERFUCKING SUPERBOWL!!!!!!! - I just want to jump out of my skin with excitement. I can't believe this is actually happening. I'm not even really worried about us winning - hell I'd love it more than anything, but in my book they've already won. They finally made it. The last three heartbreaking years were awful, and I didn't think I'd survive a fourth. It's magical.

You can call me crazy, sad, pathetic, I don't care. It's us. We stand together, as one, to enjoy this magical, beautiful moment. I'm getting goose bumps just thinking about it.

Lord............ we need this one.
