By now, if you come from one of those families where the Philadelphia Eagles are like an heirloom that’s handed down from generation, you’ve probably heard a ton of “underdog” and “Rocky” references. Keep in mind the fact that Rocky is a fictional character, but there’s a statue of him in the “City of Brotherly Love”.
Why is that you ask? Before Super Bowl LII, the greatest tale of an underdog Philadelphian’s coming of age was about this fictional boxer and then maybe Vince Papale. The latter’s story is captured in Walt Disney’s 2006 film Invincible.
