Can You Spot An Eagles Fan?

We are the rowdiest out there.

My family is made up of die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fans. Philly can tend to get a bad reputation for our tenacious fans. But, it is because we love our city. We could not imagine cheering for anyone else. Each year they may give us hope and let us down, but throughout the season we cherish the time we spend being on edge waiting to see if the Eagles will make the playoffs. Here are some times, even my family, shook our heads at our fellow Eagles fans. These are the times that fans were maybe a little too passionate.

1. It all started in 1968 when our fans threw snowballs at Santa.

2. In 1998, we installed a jail below Veteran Stadium along with our own judge to preside over our rowdiest fans.

3. No one will forget in 1999 when the whole fan base cheered when the Cowboys quarterback, Irvin, was carted off the field with a career-ending injury.

These are the classic examples. We consistently boo our players, we consistently boo all of the fans who are not wearing the Eagles green. We've thrown batteries at players and Santa Claus. We will continue to cheer for our team in any way that will inspire them. We just want a championship. We just want one year to go our way. When Andy Reid was fired there was hope in Chip Kelly. Now Chip Kelly is gone, so there is room for improvement and possibly room for some more hope. Every season brings hope and every season usually brings disappointment. But maybe Wentzslyvania will help us turn the corner. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Fly Eagles Fly.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
