“Get your popcorn ready!” In this interview with the latest member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Terrell Owens, I covered all of the topics that defined his football career. And had a ton of fun!
Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles were founded in 1933 as a replacement for the bankrupt Frankford Yellow Jackets. A group led by Bert Bell (the NFL commissioner from 1946 until his death in 1959) secured the rights to an NFL franchise in Philadelphia.
Since then, the Eagles have appeared in the playoffs 27 times, won 14 division titles (11 in the NFC East), appeared in four NFL Championship Games, winning three of them (1948, 1949, and 1960), and appeared in three Super Bowls, winning Super Bowl LII at the end of the 2017 season.
The Eagles have been littered with characters over the course of their history. From Chuck Bednarik aka Concrete Charlie to Dick Vermeil to Donovan McNabb to Buddy Ryan to Reggie White to Terrell Owens – the notorious Philly fans love and hate them all.
Their rivalry with the Pittsburgh Steelers is another bitter rivalry known as the battle of Pennsylvania, roughly dating back to 1933. The Eagles ranked among the best in the league in attendance and sold out every game since the 1999 season.

Randall Cunningham’s 1990 Season: Greatest NFL Season Ever
Randall Cunningham’s 1990 season is the greatest single season an NFL quarterback has ever had – and no one remembers or acknowledges it.
3,466 passing yards. 942 rushing yards. 35 total TDs. His stats read like a season straight out of Tecmo Super Bowl, a season too ridiculous to have ever actually occurred in the NFL.
Why does this season not get any recognition? Footballperspective.com has ranked the 10 best passing seasons in NFL history and Randall Cunningham doesn’t even get a sniff. But he did a lot more than just throw the ball.
Sure, it happened 25+ years ago, but what he was doing at the time was unprecedented in the history of the NFL. The only season close to that type of production in the years since was Michael Vick’s 2010. Vick bested Cunningham’s rushing total (which was an NFL record for a QB) in ’06, but he also threw for 1,000 less yards and scored only 22 total tuds compared to Randall’s 35.
