For god’s sake, what a pile of it. ”sit at the top”…what are you talking about? The Eagles only rival is the New York Giants. That rivalry was well established in the 1930’s, long before there was any notion of a “Dallas Cowboys”. Communities equidistant from where the Giants played and where the Eagles played had and have neighborhoods with as many Giants fans as Eagles fans. Only two divisions have three teams that were in existence in the same cities today as they were when the league was 10 teams in the 30’s. The only thing Giants and Eagles fans have in common is the knowledge that no team‘s fans enjoy beating them as much as Washington’s. The Cowboys have, during expansions and realignments, had the opportunity to get out of the division with the Eagles/Giants/(then)Commanders, in deference to geography and time zone, and the fact those three have two guaranteed exceedingly short road trips every season, but Cowboys owners, including Jerry, declined. The association with three NFL “blue bloods” is valuable. No one hates the Cowboys. “America’s Team” is a marketing moniker. The Dallas Cowboys are the NFL’s fans’ default team. They’re the team people say is their favorite when they don’t actually have a team to care about. Ask any Giants fans if they could defeat the Eagles or the Cowboys twice in one season 100% of them would say the Eagles. The “hate” talk in regard to the Cowboys is make believe. And every team plans to ”sit on top of” their division “many many years”. You’re an Eagles fan. They’re good. But every NFL fans knows the sun doesn’t shine on the same dog’s *** forever. Particularly in the NFC East.
