BREAKING: 2 more Philadelphia Eagles stories from Lancaster County fans-HN

Frank Brooks of Lancaster has a routine when it comes to the Philadelphia Eagles.

When his team plays on a Sunday, that’s all there is.

“I plan every Sunday around when the game starts,” the 70-year-old said. “My wife knows come kickoff time, I am in front of the TV in my living room. No watching snippets of the game anywhere else; no family gatherings, errands, honey-do stuff, etc.

“I am planted in front of the TV.”

Super Bowl Eagles Football

He said his fandom doesn’t include jerseys and memorabilia. He won’t be watching in his green-and-white man cave.

“I don’t have any of that stuff,” he said. “I just sit in front of the TV and watch the game.”

So there’s no doubt where he will be this evening when the Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

“Live always seems to have a rosier glow if they win,” he said. “After the Commanders beat down (in the NFC Championship Game), the glow was absolutely radiant.”

JUST MISSED

Don Moore of Clay Township has been an avid Eagles fan for more than 50 years and was a season ticket holder when he lived in the Philadelphia area.

Moore wrote in an email that his youngest daughter, Meredith, was a cheerleader for the team as the Eagles rose to prominence under coach Andy Reid in the early 2000s.

“I remember her saying at the end of each season, ‘Dad, do you want to put money down on Super Bowl tickets?’ and I would promptly send in the money,” Moore wrote.

The Eagles made it to the NFC Championship Game four straight seasons (2001-04) — infamously losing the first three, two of them at home.

CBS just made a lot of Eagles fans across Pennsylvania happy

“It was just my luck, her last year for cheerleading was ’03 and the Eagles went to the Super Bowl in ’04,” Moore wrote.

When Moore retired and moved to Lancaster County he wrote that he “ensured one wall of my ‘man cave’ is a preferment of the Philadelphia Eagles. Go Birds !!”
