This
is a must for a Philadelphia Eagles fans
and even those who just love the NFL Films'
way of delivering a story. After the NFL
Films released sets on the Dallas Cowboys,
Green Bay Packers, Oakland Raiders and
New York Giants the Philadelphia have
their own two-disc DVD collection. Although
the team hasn't had a championship since
1960 the people at NFL Films make you
and the viewer realize that this is still
the proud franchise with a history and
crazy fans and memories. The DVD
breaks down the Birds in sections including
The All Time Greats, Great Personalities,
The Coaches, The Championships, The Bizarre
and The Rivalry (which is· well if you
can't guess sorry). Along the players
with their own specials are Jerome Brown,
Tommy McDonald, Chuck Bednarik, Wilbert
Montgomery, Steve Van Buren, Reggie White
and Donovan McNabb. Among the officer
holders are Leonard Tose, Bert Bell, Dick
Vermeil. The DVD breaks down ãThe
Miracle of The Meadowlandsä and ãThe Fog
Bowlä and the three championship years
of 1948, 1949 and 1960.
This
DVD can make you laugh and cry feeling
joy and pain. You can think of
what went wrong and even think of the
possibilities of the current team.
While I like 90% of this team there are
several glowing missing people that didn't
get shoutouts like Randall Cunningham
and Brian Dawkins. In fact its'
a shame Randall hasn't gotten his jersey
retire yet.
In
any this DVD is an excellent use of footage,
interviews and technology.
I'll
give the DVD 4.5 Globes. Hopefully after
this season they will have to add more
footage and people to the history!
