Can Eagles Continue This Town’s Winning Ways?

The city of champions?

New York? Fugetaboutit!

Boston? No wicked way!

Philadelphia? Yo!

Just 2 1/2 months after the Phillies ended Philadelphia’s 25-year championship drought by winning the World Series, the Eagles are two victories away from capturing their first Super Bowl title.

“The city of Philadelphia is buzzing; this team is buzzing,” Donovan McNabb said after leading the Eagles to a 23-11 victory over the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants on Sunday.

Fans in this sports-crazed town are downright delirious. They’re walking around chanting “E-A-G-L-E-S” in bars, on sidewalks and anywhere they feel like exercising their vocal cords.

An estimated two million people packed downtown sidewalks to witness the Phillies’ victory parade on Broad Street on Halloween. Who would’ve thought that might be a dress rehearsal?

“The Phillies got it started. The Eagles are next,” said Joe Swanski, one of the many fans who made the trip to Giants Stadium. “Everything happens in threes, so the Flyers will win the Stanley Cup.”
