A Sunday Pilgrimage: Six Days, Several Prayers and the Super Bowl

by Anthony L. Gargano

From the co-author of the bestselling The Great Philadelphia Fan Book comes an insiders' look, coupled with the players and fans view of recent success and failures of football's longest suffering team. They won their last championship in 1960, and since then have had only two other chances at another; in 1981 when they lost to the Oakland Raiders, and again in 2005, when they suffered a heart breaking defeat to the New england Patriots. Anthony L. Gargano takes you on a six day trip to the Promised Land - Jacksonville, site of the 2005 Super Bowl. During the ride you'll experience the heart and soul of the fans, players, coaches, the author and his closest friends.

[Jimmy Head · Rating 5 out of 5]

Suffering Philadelphia Eagles fans have no better chronicler than The Cuz, Antney Gargano. The 2005 Superbowl loss to the New England Patriots was made more painful by the vomit of Quarterback Donovan McNabb after his unforced errors in the first half, then the no-hurry offense of Coach Andy Reed as the game clock frittered away in the fourth quarter.
Cheating Enemy Genius Bill Belichick turned to his assistant coach and said, "We're ahead in this game, right?"
Aargh!
