About TheEaglesSuck.com

Hi, thanks for visiting TheEaglesSuck.com (unless you're an e-GALS fan)!
My name is Chris Martin and I despise the eagles like no other sports team on this earth (lame fans, sub par cheerleading squad, those horrific Chunky Soup commercials with Donovan McNabb’s mom, etc.). As you can see, I don't bother capitalizing "eagles", since it's just not worth my time.

My extreme dislike for the eagles began from my childhood days in Fleetwood, Pennsylvania, about 50 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Currently, I live in Manhattan, but growing up I cheered for all the Philadelphia teams, including the Phillies, Sixers, and Flyers. We usually made it down to “The Vet” at least once a year to root on the likes of Pete Rose, Michael Jack Schmidt, Von Hayes, and Juan Samuel in baseball. That homerun by Joe Carter in the 1993 World Series off “The Wild Thing” was a killer! I was also a huge fan of the Sixers and Charles Barkley, not to mention Rick Tocchet and the Flyers.

The one deviation was the eagles. My dad has been a Cowboy fan his entire life, so what can I say, I was somewhat “brainwashed”. So, for all you eagle delinquents that like to brandish me as a “bandwagoner”, try something new and accurate.

As you can imagine, about 99% of my friends and schoolmates liked the eagles. It was pretty tough in middle school and high school. The eagles had a dominating defense with Reggie White and Jerome Brown, and Randall “Rocket” Cunningham leading the way at QB (never won a playoff game). Regardless of their success, they never won a Super Bowl during that timeframe, in fact, they never even reached one.

During that same time, my beloved Dallas Cowboys had fallen on tough times. During Troy Aikman’s rookie season in 1989, the Cowboys only won one game, against the Washington Redskins, which I remember fondly on that Thanksgiving day. The tables quickly changed when I entered college to see the Cowboys win three Super Bowls in four seasons (1993, 1994, and 1996). To this day, I still keep in close contact with several of my high school friends, and I continue to remind them of how much the eagles SUCK.

If you take great enjoyment in each and every loss suffered by the eagles, feel free to join in the discussion on the blog links for each of the games on the map below. The eagles suck.

Take care...Chris Martin

Hill's Corner - I'm BACK!

Sunday, April 6. 2008

That’s right fan’s…I’m back. After months of stress and long hours at my real job (yes I know it’s hard to believe I can’t earn a living from my commentary on this site), I have returned to once again provide you with weekly words to live by.

So what makes me return now you ask? Well, things have been slowing down at the office so my 12-hour days seem to be over, which allows me a little more time to put something together for your enjoyment. So I’ve been thinking for a couple of weeks that I need to get in gear and submit something.

But last night I was motivated by what I saw on TV. I just happened across another installment of “America’s Game” on the NFL network. Last night’s episode chronicled the 1992 Dallas Cowboys (Super Bowl Champions) – perhaps the greatest single season team in NFL history. Eagles fans may not be familiar with this series since it recaps the seasons of all the Super Bowl winning teams, but it’s classic NFL films work and is very well done.

For some reason, my FiOS guide never has a program description for this show, so I always have to actually click on it to see what team is on. It occurred to me that I had also recently seen another “America’s Game” that covered the 1995 Dallas Cowboys (also Super Bowl Champions). And that over the past several months I recalled seeing recaps of the three other Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys teams. What made me laugh out loud is that I have a 5 out of 41 chance of seeing Dallas featured on any given episode while eagles have a ZERO percent chance of seeing the hapless Birds on the program because as we all know…THE EAGLES SUCK!

Anyway, since it has been so long, I’ve got lots to talk about so this may jump around a bit. But I think I should start with the most pressing pop culture issue….
