There are plenty of aspects that go into making the city of Philadelphia one of the country’s best sports cities. The fan support for each team is unmatched, but cross-sport alliances have become popular in a year where the Philadelphia Phillies, Philadelphia 76ers and the Philadelphia Eagles are contending/have contended for championships.
The Eagles are coming off back-to-back losses for the first time this season. The team’s recent play has caused doubt to creep into the minds of skeptics. However, 76ers head coach Doc Rivers isn’t one of those concerned about the Eagles’ title chances.
Prior to Monday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans, Rivers addressed reporters and made quite the statement regarding the Birds.
“Relax, they’re going to be in the Super Bowl, It’s a guarantee,” Rivers exclaimed.
While some superstitious fans might view this as some sort of curse, especially considering Rivers’ shoddy postseason history, it’s great to see him sticking up for the Eagles.
If there are fans out there looking for an omen, it should be noted that the Sixers downed the Pelicans by the score of 120-111. Hopefully the Eagles can follow that up with a win of their own, which would clinch the top seed in the NFC in the process.
