In a matter of a season, Ed Callahan has gone from your average player to a Pro Bowl starter.

That is, when you talk about fans.

Callahan, a semi-retired Lieutenant Commander in the Navy who now does part-time work with the Air Force, partakes in the pre-game ritual of tailgating like many other Eagles fans. But Ed takes it to a whole new level.

If you want to know where you can find Ed, just look for the EagleMobile.

"The idea started when we went to a road trip in Cleveland (in 2004)," said Callahan. "We parked next to a guy who had an old, beat up RV. In exchange for a cheesesteak, he let us use the bathroom."

Callahan, an Eagles season-ticket holder for 10 years, figured why not get an RV for Eagles games? And just like that, the search was on.

Newspaper searches came up fruitless. It wasn't until Callahan was at the Super Bowl in Jacksonville when Callahan met a guy from Georgia who was selling his own. But that was only the beginning of the fun.

"We took a road trip down in April to see it," Callahan said. "It was in fairly reasonable shape, there were a couple of things wrong with it. We left that day to drive it back home. The first day was uneventful."

But the second day was a different story altogether.

"In the early morning hours of driving back the second day, the fan belt broke and we overheated," Callahan said.

But Callahan didn't give up on the RV. Just like how Callahan and his crew never give up on the Eagles.

"We are never going to give up, we were 60 minute fans during the 3-13 season so we consider this past year just a speed bump," said Callahan. "It takes tenacity to be an Eagles fan."

It was a lot of work just to get the RV back home, but that's when the real work began.

"Once we got it home, we worked in earnest to Eagle it up," said Callahan. "We rebuilt the engine first, stripped down all of the obnoxious orange carpet he had in there. We primed it and painted it in Eagles green. We painted all the countertops in white."

They put in some Astroturf. They even made one section of the bus a tribute to the old-school Eagles by decorating it in kelly green.

After using the preseason as their own preseason to get all of the kinks out, they have garnered plenty of media attention.

"We were almost late for one of the games because of all the media interviews," Callahan said.

Is it enough to turn the EagleMobile into a full-time job?

"I don't know if I can make it a full-time thing, but as long as it's fun we're going to do it," he said.
