I was just giving a rundown of all the issues that have bothered me during and since that time. Obviously that all didn't happen just then, but that's when I started to lose faith. A lot of people I know, young and old, feel the same way; they just thought something was wrong about the Eagles' approach and all the small things just added up. Oh, I forgot to mention the Drafts. They've had about 2 great drafts since 1998 (2002 and 1998, then the McNaab pick), and it's just frustrating to see them draft the way they have since '02.
I also forgot about the Michael Irvin paralyzed incident. As a fan of sports in general, even I couldn't believe the cheers from the Eagles fans at someone who possibly would never move again, rivalry be damned. Now I understand that's the fans and not the team, and I'm not blaming the team. But when I'm a boy with a good moral compass and you see THAT from the hometown fans, it really distanced me from the team; I didn't want to be lumped into that at the time.
