Despite the lack of Super Bowls, Philly is a football town. The Eagles are religion in the regions surrounded the 215 and The Linc on Sundays in the fall are a Thunderdome sanctuary. Our liturgy is a united one: Fuck the Cowboys, amirite?
With the NFL Draft at the Art Museum this past weekend, the city was in the national football spotlight.
It was a chance for Eagles fans to spit shine their image, which gets a bad rap nationally despite the fact that other fan bases have way more violent raps. And, damn, did it rise to the occasion.via the 700 Level:
Despite 250,000 united boos at Rodger Goodell, no one was arrested at the NFL Draft in Philly, according to Philly police. There weren’t even any Draft-related citations issued, despite the amount of beer-drinking done on the Parkway over the weekend.
The bar is now set high for the draft in Dallas next year.
Your move, Cowboys fans.
