DeCamara: Feeling 'tremendous pride' as an Eagles fan

Joe DeCamara explained why he feels a "tremendous sense of pride" this week as a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles.

"I am really struck with tremendous pride this week about the Eagles winning the Super Bowl," DeCamara said at the beginning of Thursday's 94WIP Morning Show. "The last couple of days in particular have really hit me on this front.

"First off, we had Saquon Barkley and Brandon Graham throwing out the first pitch at the Phillies walking out with the Lombardi Trophy. Phenomenal.

"I don't want to lose the feeling of that championship and what has gone on this week...We've got a team as we start moving to the draft with the 32nd pick. On one hand I don't like it, on the other hand I freakin' love it! What it represents is my team just won the Super Bowl.

"Let me give you another one. Now I know a lot of people don't like the causality of this at all. The Eagles are being attacked by the league with the tush push. One one hand it's despicable because of the methodology teams are using. On the other hand it speaks to the greatness the Eagles have established and the jealousy, the jealousy, that exists around the NFL for our football team. Like they are jealous of the Eagles so there is something kind of cool about that.

"Jeffrey Lurie earned the opportunity to walk into a meeting with the owners and he didn't have to say nothing...Bottom line is when Jeffrey Lurie walked into that room eyes were on him because his organization is the best in pro football.

"Vic Fangio was at the Phillies game yesterday. Vic Fangio was talking about growing up as a Philadelphia sports fan going to the Vet. He was talking about Connie Mack stadium yesterday.

"I am really struck this week by a lot of things that for me swell me with pride...That hits me this week, in particular."
