Overview

Genuine fans take the best team moments with the less than great, and know that the games that are best forgotten make the good moments truly shine. This monumental book of the Philadelphia Eagles documents all the best moments and personalities in the history of the team, but also unmasks the regrettably awful and the unflinchingly ugly. In entertaining—and unsparing—fashion, this book sparkles with Eagles highlights and lowlights, from wonderful and wacky memories to the famous and infamous. Such moments include the 1960 Championship game where the Eagles managed to defeat the Packers, as well as the Terrell Owens saga and the untimely death of Jerome Brown. Whether providing fond memories, goose bumps, or laughs, this portrait of the team is sure to appeal to the fan who has been through it all.
