Gallery: "Concussion" film to feature late Eagle Andre Waters
IF YOU ever want to dabble in time travel, try whispering two words to Philadelphia Eagles fans of a certain age: Andre Waters.
Let it sink in for a moment, like a secret password, and watch the years disappear from their faces. Wistful smiles replace the usual heavy frowns.
Waters was an underdog who had to fight and claw for his job - not the most naturally gifted guy on the field, but one of the toughest.
He was, in other words, the embodiment of all the blue collar traits Philly sports fans always hope to see in a local athlete.
