Philadelphia Eagles Snapshot
The spirits of Philly football fans dip and soar with the fortunes of this team. One of the more storied members of the National Football League, the Philadelphia Eagles professional football team has represented the City of Brotherly Love since the franchise was awarded to Bert Bell and Lud Wray in 1933. Its roster has featured such Hall of Fame players as Chuck Bednarik, Steve Van Buren, and Reggie White. Championships, though, have been few and far between: its last NFL title was won in 1960 and the franchise boasts just two Super Bowl appearances. The team plays host at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field. Jeffrey Lurie, a former movie producer, has owned the team since 1994.
