Eagle Fan Remorse

If I had one wish, it would not be for a huge dork, two women at the same time, or a million dollars. It would be for there to have never been a such thing as football. This isn't hyperbole. I am speaking from the bottom of my heart. I wish there was never football, never a National Football League, never the Philadelphia Eagles.

I cannot think of one thing that has caused me as much pain as football. If a woman caused me this much pain, I'd turn gay. If an enemy caused me this much pain, I'd thank God for the second ammendment and I'd blow his sorry *** away.

You want to hear about all the good times football has given me? The best football memory of my entire life? I don't have any. Everytime I thought I was happy, that feeling quickly subsided in a few minutes as the impending doom of not eventually winning the Superbowl that year crept into the deepest, darkest portions of my mind. The part I don't admit to myself, let alone my friends, family, or strangers on the internet. As I smoked a huge cigar and drank Dom after the 2004 NFC Championship Game, deep down I knew. I knew.

The Eagles will never win the Superbowl. All the posts, the false bravado over the years; it was just a futile attempt to cover up the obvious.

If I had my way, football would have never existed. There would be no memory of Rod Martin (a guy the Eagles cut in training camp) getting 3 INTs in the Superbowl in 1980. No memory of Cunningham getting injured and watching guys off the street waste the worst defense in NFL history. No memory of ND Kalu missing that damn punt by INCHES in 2001. No memory of paying 1000 dollars to go to the last game EVER played in Veterans Stadium, against a team that CAN'T WIN IN THE COLD... No memory of Westbrook getting injured in a meaningless game at the end of the 2003 season, then watching the worst offensive playoff performance one could ever imagine. THREE STINKING POINTS!?!? No memory of a Superbowl that the Patriots were BEGGING us to win, being pissed away or should I say, puked away...

In my alternate world, Andy Reid is a fat Morman teaching high school history. Donovan McNabb is a porn star who specializes in scat porn where he pukes all over hot chicks before he does them. Brian Dawkins is an outstanding member of society. I'm sorry, I can't bring myself to say a bad word about Brian Dawkins.

I've had enough. A man can only be pushed so far.

If I ever post again about the Eagles winning the Superbowl, please link this thread to remind me of my true feelings.

Thanks for your time.

Its only football... that is too deep.... some deep rooted stuff right there

I take no happiness in other teams fans agony. In a strange way when I see the eagles lose yesterday the way they did, I feel for their fans. I know I shouldnt feel that way but being a diehard of the worst kind I hate to see people have that much agony. Suffering through a loss like last years at washington or 04 against philly, it tears you apart, at least me anyway. I sometimes wonder why it affects me so much and I become depressed, but it is a waste of time because I cant change who I am, It hurts something awful when we lose big games and then having to listen to the overbearing media tear us a new one, and everyone gets there shots in......

So I hate to see anyone feeling the way I know I feel when we have losses that way. It makes for a tough week, for the eagles fans its two weeks, and I dont envy them, I dont want that feeling back this year at all. It beats me up too much so I cant take joy in others having it.

Hmmm, I think I take more pleasure in others' pain than I do in my own good fortune. Schadenfreude. Yes, it's a sickness.

Agreed...that guy needs a valium.

Not too much difference between some of the people on this board after a bad loss.

Don't feel sorry for this fan! He is the enemy. He has wished ill will on our Cowboys. Our pain is his pleasure. So I see it as my duty to revel in his misery.
He is evil and it is just that he suffers!

Or even after a win.

Yo YoMick, is the New York media coverage annointing the Giants as Super Bowl bound just yet? They will probably start 6-2 since the Texans are up for them next. If Dallas can have an identical record it will make that rematch in Jersey in 5 weeks time most meaningful, division championship even perhaps.

 

[dbair1967]

yeah... let them finish 8-8 or 9-7 with no playoffs

nah...the more losses the merrier for me...I want them to go 4-12 or 5-11

6-10 wouldnt look so bad either

very admirable of you.....But that doesnt sound like your having any fun.

Hey, im never obnoxious to another fans face when the team is down, i know when the tide turns they will be able to give it back to me one day, but i am not totally letting them off the hook. nothing wrong with a little ribbing.

Reality,

I love that picture of that cat. That's got to be the look on Steeler fans face after watching their franchise QB being exposed for who he really is!!!

nah.... LOL..... let them wallow in mediocrity forever with little chance of getting better... no GOOD draft picks

Yeah.. I dont watch much local news... but what I have seen... the sports segments right after the weather is they have the Giants on their way.... they put alot of stock in beating us with Drew at Qb... that wont be the case 2nd time around though
