I grew up in Jacksonville but not in a sports home. My dad literally never watches sports but one day I was playing with my toys in the living room and my dad just so happened to be randomly watching the Jaguars versus Eagles on tv. This was the year 2002, the year the Eagles went 12-4. Even at that age, I knew they were hot stuff. Knowing what I know about my dad, I’m assuming he was only planning to check out the local team and see how they’re doing while flipping though channels and then go back to whatever adult thing he had going on. But I started asking him “what’s that?” “How’d they get the ball?” “How many points is that worth?” And then we ended up watching the whole game together. We won that game 28-25 in exciting fashion. The rest is history. That day honestly changed my life
