That's a violation. :flag: Stop referencing titles achieved before you were born.

The joy of winning a title is traveling the road of ups and downs that lead to it, it's the journey as much as it's the destination.

Gloating about something that happened before you were born, before you were old enough to understand, or weren't watching rings hollow.

I could switch teams to the Yankees if I wanted to; and then I could brag about 27 championships, everyone here could, but there would be nothing special or satisfying about it.

i wasn't gloating, just stating simple fact. And I wasn't saying it in a way to talk smack. Give the whole "you have to be alive in order to gloat about championships" a rest, PLEASE. I got the whole point you were trying to make over in the Giants-Eagles thread. :roll: Thats the first thing fans of other teams use when talking smack and its so lame and repetitive.

Being a philadelphia fan it must really suck only being alive for 2 championship...or is it 3 in the last 50+ years? Pretty sure there's a sixers championship in there somewhere right?

If you want I'll give you a whole list of NY championships for which I was alive for....

Yankees - '96, '98, '99, '00, '09
Giants - '90, '08
Rangers - '94

Being a philadelphia fan it must really suck only being alive for 1 championship...or is it 2? Pretty sure there's a sixers championship in there somewhere right?If you want I'll give you a whole list of NY championships for which I was alive for....

Yankees - '96, '98, '99, '00, '09
Giants - '90, '08
Rangers - '94
2 Phillies - saw them win the first one in person
2 Flyers
1 Sixers

But more importantly:

1 Delaware football. :thumb:

Depends on you point of view - they have been to the NC game 4 times and could easily have won 3 of them.

In 1982 the Hens lost 17-14 to Eastern Kentucky. EKU scored 7 points on a FG block and return for TD.

ouch, even though that was almost 30 years ago I could imagine the pain of that loss. :ohno:

FWIW, I was really upset when you guys choked last year. I was really pulling for the CAA.
