I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure that I'm the bored's senior member. One of the few that was there for the last championship. Actually, one that was in attendance at Franklin Field that memorable day.
As such, I've been overjoyed ever since the clock hit 00:00 last Sunday night. I made my "Never a Motherfucking Doubt" post and celebrated with all my bored brothers. It was, without a doubt, just plain great. I read all your posts of joy and smiled, laughed and shared in your joy.
This afternoon, I'm watching the parade with Mrs. OB. The overhead camera pans the huge crowd around the Art Museum and I turn to her to say, "See, this is what I've been talking about all these years. This championship isn't for me; it isn't for the team. All I ever wanted was to have this championship for my beloved City of Philadelphia".
The only problem was, it took me two times to get the words out. The first time I was completely choked up and could only mutter something unintelligible through some tears. I did better the second time.
I will always love Gomer for what he, more than anyone, has brought to my Philadelphia.
Thank you Iggles for this. We've deserved it for a long time, and now we have it.
Feels good. Let's have another!
