- For WHYY Digital Studios’ second episode, we talk to Philly fans about their passion, their history, and their infamous celebrations as we prepare for the Eagles Super Bowl matchup. The fans that the sports world loves-to-hate have a deeper story to tell, so we checked in with Glen Macnow, the author of the The Great Philadelphia Fan Book and Monty G, Philly’s #1 Hypeman, to get the full story. GO BIRDS!!!
Monty G needs a new scooter so he can get back out to games. You can support here:

Santa Claus was drunk and 2 hrs late to the game. The Eagles were losing. By the time Santa got there to help the fans cheer for their team. Snowballs reign down on him. Thx Santa lol
Am from northern England 🏴 the eagles 🦅 are my team I love ❤️ u
I love us! We're obnoxious but very passionate😭
The author of the book repeatedly says we got the win in 2017 but it was 2018. What a disgrace!
Philly fans aren't the first fans to behave like barbarians. They're just the first ones to take pride in it.
That horse was super racist
Last year was an all time Philly season. Lost the Super Bowl, lost the World Series, lost the MLS Cup game. What city can say that?
Just a game. Best not to get to emotional with sports
YO GO BURDDSSSSS🦅🦅🦅
When the Eagles were set to play Dallas Cowboys in the 1980 NFC Championship Game I left work on the Friday to get in line for the limited number of tix they were going to release; i was 3rd in line. The weather was bitterly cold; there were barrels for a fire and when they ran out of wood they started burning the Police barracks & the police were HELPING; by 2:00am there was already THOUSANDS in line and the brought the office staff in to open up early. There was a great spirit of comradely passing bota bags & flasks around. Two newspaper reporters interviewed the first 5. Leaving the Vet on that cold-ass Sunday after beating Dallas was just the best.
It's not just the Eagles early 21st century either:
Great story. As a Philly transplant, I just learned a lot!
Ny fans I know is up their for the most passionate fans with Philly.

Terribly written and reporter with terrible stereotypes, half stories, and blatant lies. Do better.
