The 9 Stages Of Watching An Eagles Game From First Down To The Last Breath Of Your Life

Twitter

I don't know if you heard, but the Philadelphia Eagles won their first Super Bowl last year. It was kind of a big deal. The city of Philadelphia burned to the ground. Truly an iconic moment.

Philadelphia sports fans take their games very seriously. And every Eagles game this season has been no exception. Every game comes down to the wire. Yet in the distance, we always hear faithful apostles of the Birds screaming, "Big Dick Nick!

Watching an Eagles game is no cakewalk. Here's what Eagles fans had to say about sitting down with a beer on the couch on a Sunday night.

1. Optimism.

Giphy

Eagles fans will shit talk whatever team they're playing, no matter if they actually believe the Birds have a chance of clinching the win. But these are our boys, and they're the best in the country, even if they're ranked last.

2. Screaming.

Giphy

That first touchdown, field goal, or two-point conversion is always cause for celebration. Doesn't matter if it's the first score of the game or the Eagles are down by 21 and this renews the hopes of fans everywhere. You will jump up. You'll probably spill your beer. But it's all worth it. #BDN

3. Hope.

Giphy

The clock is running down. They might get it, but it probably depends on whether or not the other team fucks up. You're leaning in so far you might fall off of the couch. You're experiencing an emotional rollercoaster. Some have reported they couldn't breathe.

4. Stress and anxiety.

Giphy

They were in the lead. And then they probably weren't. You haven't given up hope, but it feels like you're fighting for your life. The Philly Special includes a lot of expletives. Maybe you throw your Wawa hoagie at the TV. My mom's Apple Watch sent her a notification that said, "Increased heart rate alert!" Yes, it really is that deep.

5. "I can't eat."

Giphy

Someone probably brought a tray from Philly Pretzel Factory. Or you might have the half of the Wawa hoagie left that you didn't throw at the TV. You have to go to the bathroom, but you would rather shit yourself than miss out on this. Xfinity Live is on the verge of burning down for the 923849th week in a row.

6. "F*CK!"

Giphy

Cody Parkey. That's all I have to say.

7. "I LOVE MY CITY!"

Tears may be streaming down your face. If you live in a row home, you're probably banging on the wall. You vow to wear green every day of your life. You would die for Nick Foles. You can't wait to drive down 76 tomorrow night on your way home from work and see Boathouse Row lit up in green lights. If you know you know.

8. Then you remember...next Sunday.

Giphy

7 days to recover, decide what you're going to wear, figure out where you're watching the game, and maybe invest in a stress ball.

9. FLY, EAGLES FLY!

Giphy

No matter where you are, start screaming "E-A-..." and you know someone will join in. The Eagles can bring this city together and it can set it on fire. And you wouldn't want to miss out on any of it.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Fibonacci Sequence Examples: 7 Beautiful Instances In Nature

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
