Philadelphia Eagles
 PROFILE
The Philadelphia Eagles have been flying in the NFL since 1933, but they haven't always been soaring. The team's last championship was in 1960, its only Super Bowl appearance in 1981, and its overall record is a losing one. Still, despite many years of futility (including the worst record in football in 1998), the infamous "boo birds" fill Veterans Stadium (widely regarded as the worst facility in all of sports) to capacity nearly every time. They'll be booing in a new stadium in 2003 thanks to public funding approved in 2000. (The $1 billion project also includes a new ballpark for the Phillies.) Jeff Lurie, a former movie producer, bought the franchise for $185 million in 1994.
