ANDREW J. SAMA   Born: September 10, 1978                                                         Hometown: Vineland, NJ   Eagles Fan Resume:   1995 - Attended the 58-37 playoff victory v. the Lions with HS buddies. After the Hail Mary touchdown to end the first half, the 5 of us cheered from the 700 Level with our shirts off for the rest of the game.   2001 (season)  When the Eagles were winning at halftime of the NFC title game, best friend and I booked travel and accommodations to the Super Bowl in New Orleans. Despite their eventual loss, we visited the Big Easy anyway. Saw tons of fellow Eagles fans and celebrities. Partied the night away celebrating the demise of the Rams! Best weekend of my life. Can't WAIT until the Eagles finally go to a Super Bowl!   2002 Attended the MNF game v. the Giants on Oct 28. Watched Donovan scramble from the 50-yd line for the game winning TD. Lost my mind, poured beer on myself in the 700 Level. 2 months later, attended the Giants game at the Meadowlands. Sat in the last row of the stadium. When the Giants won in OT, lost my mind, got beer poured on me by Giants fans.   2003 Attended the first 2 games at the Linc. Looked for the 700 Level, but couldn't find it. Looked for a win and couldn't find that either.   SEPTEMBER 16, 2003 Met Donovan McNabb. Appeared on the Donovan McNabb Show. Spent the day at the NovaCare Complex and met dozens of players. The entire story is too incredible for words. See links below for local media coverage of the event:   http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/homeNewsDetail.jsp?id=4366   http://www.southjerseynews.com/issues/january/m010704a.htm   Favorite Eagle: Donovan McNabb. A total class act and a great football player. He will lead this team to a Super Bowl.   Most Painful Eagles Memory: The loss to Tampa Bay. Absolutely devastating. They took our perfect ending away from us. The pain from that loss will never go away.   Most Joyous Eagles Memory: The Dec 30, 2001 victory over the Giants to clinch the NFC East. I watched that game with my entire family at Legends in the Holiday Inn and I will never forget that place going deathly quiet as Dixon ran down the sidelines on that kickoff return and then, as Dawkins knocks him out of bounds, there was about a second and a half of silence while everyone looked around at each other and then.HYSTERIA. Absolutely BONKERS. And everyone just poured out into streets and went crazy out there too. What a game. What a season. "4th and 1"again v. Emmitt and the Cowgirls gets an honorable mention though.     TOM GRAHAM   Born 1948                                                                                Hometown: Philadelphia, PA   Eagles Fan Resume:   1948 - at only 10 months old, Tom's first words were "Dallas Sucks".   Mid 1960's - enlisted in the United States Air Force and set off to travel the world. Everywhere Tom went he made sure to find out the score of the latest Eagles/Phillies/Flyers/Sixers game. Swiped "Stars & Stripes" magazine while in Vietnam in order to get Eagles scores.   1990 to Present - after traveling the world with Uncle Sam, Tom settles in Fort Walton Beach, FL. His vocabulary has increased tremendously as he can now say "Dallas REALLY Sucks".    Favorite Eagle: All of them! If you wear Eagles green then your OK! (except for Al Harris)

"FAT ANDY"   Born: October 3, 1933                                                   Hometown: South Philadelphia   Eagles Fan Resume:   1933 Born Andrew Neale Bell Kuharich Vermiel Kotite Reid Jr. in a kennel in South Philly. After going weeks without being adopted, young Andy breaks out of the kennel and takes up residence under the bleachers at the nearby Baker Bowl. Eagles players would feed Andy after the games. Before you knew it, Andy became "Fat Andy". Thankful for the food and the love, "Fat Andy" pledged his allegiance to the Philadelphia Eagles and became "Philly's Best Friend".   1943 In the midst of WWII, "Fat Andy" helps the depleted Eagles squad by suggesting that they consolidate players with the Steelers and become the "Steegles". Or maybe he was just barking for another Milkbone. No one is sure. Rumor has it that he fills in at DT on the practice squad.    1948/49 "Fat Andy" celebrates the Eagles first two NFL championships! Wins of the Chicago Cardinals and the LA Rams give "Fat Andy" reason to cheer. Not only did his Eagles win, but after each win the players made Andy really big doggie bags!   1960 It took 11 years, but "Fat Andy" tastes victory again. Andy celebrates the 1960 NFL Championship with Concrete Charlie Bednarik after the game, they both took a piss on Coach Lombardi's shoes. Rumor has it that "Fat Andy" was the one who told Bednarik that Giants QB Kathy LeeerrI mean Frank Gifford made a comment about Mrs. Bednarik, and well, you know the rest.    1980 "Fat Andy" is there to comfort Dick Vermiel as he cries away the Eagles loss to the Raiders in the Super Bowl.   1990 "Fat Andy" inspires the Gang Green to become one of the fiercest defenses in NFL history. He begins the trend of calling your friends "dogs". It was during this season, Randall's MVP season, that Andy gets in the habit of celebrating every Randall scramble and Reggie sack by singing his personal anthem "Who let the dogs out". Years later, the Baha Men would make millions ripping of Andy's idea. Rumor has it that Buddy Ryan once put a bounty on the head of a local dogcatcher who threatened to chase "Fat Andy" from the bowels of Veterans Stadium. It was during this time that "Fat Andy" began hanging out in the 700 Level at the Vet where he was known to bite Cowboys fans on sight and relieve himself in the beer cups of Giants fans.    2001 With the imminent destruction of the Vet at hand, "Fat Andy" enjoys his last full year of residence at Veterans Stadium. After 68 years of loyal service to the team, Andy starts looking for a retirement home in sunny Florida.   2002 Immediately after the devastating loss to the Bucs "Fat Andy" decides that he can't bear to see his beloved Veterans Stadium demolished and instead moves to Fort Walton Beach, FL. While drowning his sorrows in a toilet bowl at a local sports bar called Anglers, "Fat Andy" meets a die-hard local Eagles fan named El Capetan aka Bill Sckibicki. El Capetan introduces "Fat Andy" to the members of the 700 Club and the rest is history.      2003   The 700 Club officially designates "Fat Andy" as their mascot. He specializes in leading drunken sing-a-longs after every big Eagles play. Hated by opposing fans, "Fat Andy" is the definition of a 700 level fan. Passionate and loud. Informed as well as intimidating. Especially to punks in Cowboys jerseys.
