Okay, here’s my attempt at a blog post about the 1978 Philadelphia Eagles roster, written in the style you described:
Alright, so I got it in my head to really dig into the 1978 Philadelphia Eagles. I mean, really dig in. Why? I don’t know, I get fixated, Man. It’s the Vermeil era, they’re about to make a push… good times, even if I wasn’t, like, alive then. But you know what? I am going to record a blog post for my this journey.
Getting Started
First, I needed, you know, the actual roster. So I start hunting around online, thinking, I will find a well-organized list, Right? I started with Baidu and google. Then, I moved to some sports forums.
The Grind
It’s not like it was super hard, you know. It’s all out there, just… scattered. I’m piecing it together from different sites, forum posts, some old grainy newspaper scans, and some video I watched on youtube. Imagine,I am doing this and feel really good, I think i should record the good stuff.
I fired up my trusty old text, I just prefer it, start typing names, numbers, positions… my desk is a mess of printouts and notes. My wife looked at me and asked what I am doing.
Putting It All Together
After a while, I’ve got something that looks pretty good. I’ve cross-referenced everything like a thousand times, checked and check. I even went down some rabbit holes on individual players – you know, where did this guy go to college? What was his career like after ’78? Pure, simple internet!
- Quarterbacks: Ron Jaworski, I know this guy!
- Running Backs: I found names like Wilbert Montgomery. Classic!
- Wide Receivers: Harold Carmichael ,I heard of him before!
- Defense: Bill Bergey, Carl Hairston… these guys were tough, I can see some photos.
It’s not just a list, it’s a feeling, man. I’m picturing these guys, in their green and white, running onto the field. It’s like stepping back in time, even if it’s just in my head and on my text.
I think I will do more about football, but for tody, I am finishing my record.
