In Philadelphia, football is not just a game. People eat, sleep and breathe their Eagles. But what happens when the Eagles lose in the playoffs yet again? A serious wave of depression hits the city. While the Sixers are getting better, the Flyers are continuing to be dominant and the Phillies are starting their spring training, there is still no football to get excited for.
There was a time not long ago that football fans could rest easy knowing that there would be football again soon. Not your every day football, but the arena variety. Fans came out in masses, just excited to see the gridiron…even if it was half the size. And in return for the fan’s support, the Philadelphia Soul brought home a championship in 2008. After that exciting day, the league vanished. When it returned, it returned missing its Soul.
Cheer up Philadelphia; you have more football to look forward to. The team that never actually lost their championship is back and ready to keep you on the edge of your seats all over again.
While most of the team and coaching staff are comprised of new faces, there are some old faces making a triumphant return to the city that once embraced them. The Soul recently resigned fan favorites WR/DB Mike Brown and WR Larry Brackins as well as hiring former lineman Phil Bogle as lines coach. These three names bring a smile to the face of any Soul fan. They were here to bring the championship to the city in 2008 and they plan to do it all over again in 2011 as they attempt to reclaim the trophy that they never had the chance to lose.
The season starts on March 11th in Pittsburgh against the new franchise, the Pittsburgh Power. You can hold your heads high again Philadelphia. Football season is just about to get started...and these guys have actually won a championship recently...just sayin'
