Just to show we Eagles fans can laugh at ourselves...

Sure, it hurts like hell. Sadly, we in Philly are used to this sort of thing. You get a pretty thick skin being 4-12 in Championship Rounds since 1973, plus if you add all those losses like last Sunday's in pre-Championship rounds with us having the better team, it really goes up to 4-20-somethng.

Gotta keep our chins up and smile! Whatever happens here, we are EAGLE FANS! We're tough and have thick skin. We'd better, given the Philly Curse and the number of times we have relived last Sunday over the years!

Buck up, Eagles Fans! Like the Democrats, we must NEVER lose hope, even if the odds seem stacked against us!

We must NEVER give up supporting our teams, no matter how they perform. For THAT is the true definition of a fan, not how many championship rings their team has!

1. Eagles fans have nothing to be ashamed about .

And I tell you this as a Vikings fan.

98' NFC Championship game.....enuff said.

Besides, you guys have the QB who is the standard bearer for the "Democrats against Rush" movement.
