The "Silver Linings Playbook" Super Bowl I'm not a Philadelphia Eagles fan. In fact just about the only thing about Philadelphia that appeals to me is "Rocky" and some of the lovely ladies I from Philadelphia I have encountered (e.g. DollSlave, life_force, secretsub10)  . It was thus no surprise to me that when I saw Bradly Cooper in Eagles owner Jeff Lurie's box during the Super Bowl screaming his head off at play after play my mind wandered to the scenes in the movie "Silver Linings Playbook" of Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert De Niro cheering for the Eagles. It was just refreshing to see art in the form of a really great flick reflected in Cooper going nuts at the game. 2018/02/bradley-cooper-superbowl-jeff-lurie As I think about it, the entire theme of Silver Linings Playbook was also the theme of the Eagles' season. That movie was where I first saw Eagles fans doing the nutty "Fly Eagles Fly" dance and where I ever thought of Eagles fans in a sympathetic light. Philadelphia sports fans are usually such asses when they are in the stands at a game. For the first time I was able to separate the unpleasant aspects of Philadelphia fans from the performance of their team and actually appreciate how much the magic of the Eagles' season restored the impression I got of Eagles' fans from the movie. |

Next year I'll go back to hating Philadelphia teams, but for one day at least I was a fan too.
