That's exactly why, with a few minor exceptions, I've always rooted for the AFC team in the Super Bowl on the 40+ occasions when the Eagles haven't made it.
NFC teams are the Eagles' rivals ... I want them to have ZERO success! And that goes quadruple for NFC East teams. It's bad enough we're the only team left in the division with no Super Bowl ring ... the last thing I want is for the Giants to have another one!
Hmmm, interesting take. I guess maybe I'm in the minority, but I feel the opposite (with a few minor exceptions ).
You know it's funny... in almost every other sport I can root for the conference my team is in... but football is just really hard. Especially since for a while there it was always a team that beat the Eagles going on to the Super Bowl! I have a tough time rooting for teams that beat my team in the playoffs.... all that being said... as much as I despise the Giants, and how I previously said during the Giants-Dallas game that I still couldn't root for them... I really think I'm leaning towards them for the win. I dunno. I just really don't want the Pats to go all the way.
