Became a Patriots fan in 2nd grade after reading a book about Jim Plunkett. One of those books you bought from the Weekly Reader, I think. That was 50+ years ago.

An Eagles fan initially because EVERYONE I knew was a Cowboys fan. I couldn't stand them. Probably mostly because of the "America's team" stuff...and the Cowboys fans I knew were as obnoxious and annoying as a lot of Hawkeye fans are now. Lol. Ron Jaworski, Wilbert Montgomery, and Harold Carmichael days. Then....they sucked the rest of the time I grew up.... until the Gang Green and Randall Cunningham days.
Sixers was because of Dr. J, Andrew Toney, Bobby Jones. Mo Cheeks...and that one great season with Moses Malone. Then later, Barkley.
Flyers fan since I was an Eagles fan. I usually plan my once a year home game trip to Philadelphia and catch a Flyers game, too.
