The franchise is one of the few remaining to have its own old school fight song: “Fly Eagles Fly,” is the defining chant of Philadelphia, and it is so far superior to the mean-spirited and vindictive “Yankees Suck!” of Boston as to make comparison between the two insulting. Eagles fans have remained unbelievably loyal over the past 44 years of disappointment since the Eagles last won the NFL title, a championship earned so long ago that the it was not yet called the Super Bowl...
