What is an Eagles fan?

In all seriousness this question could be viewed in a multitude of angles and the answers could very well extend into the high thousands,

When someone says " Randall4ever" is NOT an Eagles fan it makes for a very good debate,

Randall4ever is a passionate Eagles fan with not only knowledge of the team he follows but knowledge of the NFL as a whole,

Jerome Brown,Heath Sherman,Sikahema,Mcmahon,Peete,Detmer Koy and Ty,most fans today would say who?

Those are just examples of a few less known Eagle players who have all contributed to the years of sorrow a lot of Eagles fans suffered through,the list goes on of such players who were either major contenders towards superstardom or just fizzled out of sight quickly to be forgotten,

Randall4ever has been there through all of it,many times hiding the fact of being an Eagles fan due to place of residency and most often due to lackluster play,but through it all Randall4ever rarely ever missed an Eagles game even knowing they had no chance of stopping Roger Craig or Otis Anderson just to name a couple lesser known high profiled opponents,

Randall4ever suffered along with thousands of other die hard Eagles fans when the team looked poised and ready to win it all with one of the best defenses ever and a young dynamic QB who took the league by storm,

We also suffered a loss to a team with older players on their way out in a game where most of us thought we would claim our 1st SB trophy in 1980,that hurt deeply,

What is a real Eagle fan?

Simply put this cant be answered without some degree of objection,is it based on passion?knowledge?how many Keith Byars posters you have?maybe its based on how many times you bless yourself each time you pass the tree in the small town in Florida where Jerome Brown crashed his car and passed away at such an early and unforunate way,Randall4ever passed that tree 100s of times as family members reside near the tree,

Perhaps the green colored jerseys make you a fan?Was is Dick Vermeil?Bednarick?Jaworski?maybe it was AJ Feeley?

Perhaps the jail at the Vet made you curious and attracted you to the Eagles?

Possible that a hatred for the NY Giants stemned your love for the Eagles?Americas team? What the fuck could a team from Dallas Texas ever be considered Americas team?is there a liberty bell in Dallas?

Being an Eagles fan could be construed as anyone that follows the team and wishes for success,passion comes with how much devotion you put in,are you willing to suffer through the lowest of lows for years and years and years,decades?

Do you fall to your knees and cry aloud with less then 2 minutes to go in the Superbowl finally knowing your Eagles have finally made it to the ellusive promised land?do tears immediately come to eyes anytime you see the last 30 seconds of SB win and the 1st minute after the win?

Can you passionately post negative comings or goings about your team that you know cannot be controlled but unfortunately cant be advoided?

Being an Eagles fan can be anything it wants to be,being an Eagles fan is everything you put into it and accepting everything that comes with it,both good and bad,,

If being an Eagles fan is bad then Randall4ever never wants to be GOOD!
