Because they mean something to their city -- indeed, they are almost the only thing the rich, white and poor, black parts of it have in common -- that's why. WHO DAT???

I would imagine the same goes for, let's say, the Eagles (who, by the way, did win the 1960 NFL championship, before there was a Super Bowl).

1. Because they have soul, unlike the loser Eagles who attack Santa Claus.
:P

3. There are two sides to the Santa Claus story
the way Philly fans tell it, the Santa in question was booed off the field not for being Santa, but for giving a proor performance (i.e. being smashed out of his gourd).

4. If that were true, they'd boo themselves out of the stands.
(I know the real Santa story, but it's not as much fun to tell).

12. Oh give 'em a break. At least there's no "Eagles Court" in the new stadium!
in fact, no Section 700 at all.

7. Yes, they do. It's called the Tulane Green Wave. I believe they play in Conference USA.
