Did anyone not cry when when they won it?

The ending was difficult to process.

I went to hug a friend of mine but I think he wasn't fully aware of what just happened for a moment. That was pure joy.
Now when I rewatch some of this stuff I get a little weepy from time to time.
Make sure it’s falls harmless
Look for a flag
Look for the time
Look for Eagles celebrating
Listen for some kind of sound confirmation too

Then one of the best statements ever: "This is the end of the game"--------
"We choose to go to the moon."

1. My wife started crying when Barnett recovered the fumble because she thought that was it. And she is only an Eagles fan by marriage indoctrination.
2. I knew it wasn't over but seeing her cry got to me a little.
3. Definitely cried when it was over. Called my dad and was just screaming nonsense into the phone. Facetimed my daughter who was at college in Atlanta and just going nuts. And just for fun I did 2 things I never do.... popped a bottle of champagne and lit a cigar.
This is either a stupid or obvious thing to say but its just a tremendous source of happiness for me on days when I need it.
And one last thing....the videos of people going nuts at their respective houses, parties or bars are even better than the game highlights for me. I'm just so happy for all of us.Last edited by Squire; 02-27-2018, 11:25 AM.

Originally posted by Squire View PostI decided that all those times/years of "trying to not jinx it" were BS and did a Costanza-opposite thing. Bought the cigars, champagne and had hotel reservations lined up for the eventual parade.
I know a lot of people on the board were not fortunate enough to share the moment with their parents. I cannot compensate for that, but I hope our happiness reaches out to all those who were not here to participate in the celebration. Happiness has been doubled! God bless all Eagles fans, present and departed.--------

I would have cried if they won in Jacksonville. I was home watching it by myself and the SB was a long time coming from 1980. This time was all joy. Get a little misty at some of the vids.
SB I said to myself this win has to happen, as if there were no other option. Couldn't imagine losing again with such long intervals between SB appearances.

(phew) And I Thought I Was The Only One Who Didn’t Cry
My wife and I watched the game and I thought there was no way I could avoid the water works if the Birds won. Instead I found myself walking around the living room, the dining room, the hall shouting things like “YES, they WON!!” and other things like it. Tossed in a few “Finally”s — but it wasn’t until she went to bed and I was watching the celebration that the tears finally came.
Of course, now I cry almost every time as I watch the AMAZING videos that keep coming out in Youtube and such.Last edited by Kelly Green; 02-27-2018, 12:43 PM."If I owned Texas and Hell, I'd rent out Texas and live in Hell!"
