Gritty is your god now. Philly appreciation.

One nation, under Gritty, with hoagies and wooder for all.

Philly brought the US into the world and she's not going to let some orange Nazi take it away without a fight.

I'm proud of my hometown. Shit, I'd even high five Carson Wentz.

I’d rather have a really good draft pick than be the division winner with something like a 6-9-1 record. I also doubt if Wentz is the franchise QB they thought.

And kudos to Philly for coming through for Biden! Maybe it finally gets respect.

This year's Eagles are the world's Okayest NFC leaders. We may be #1, but it's been a lot of dumb luck this season.

But I have a soft spot for Gritty. My husband is a huge baseball fan, so it's a Fanatic household. I moved to the burbs years ago and I joined you as a suburban woman who voted for Joe. My dad still lives in Philly and cast his first vote since coming home from Vietnam nearly 50 years ago.....for Joe.

And, I say that as a life-long, die-hard Blackhawks fan. I'm just sad that he is orange.
