Newly-signed forward Donyell Marshall has entered Eagles' country as a Steelers' fan, according to Philadelphia Daily News.

"I was trying not to mention that at all because I go through a lot of stuff [living in Cleveland] for the same reasons," Marshall said after signing with the Sixers as an unrestricted free agent. "When I grew up is when the Steelers won the four Super Bowls, and I liked Lynn Swann, Terry Bradshaw, and Franco Harris.

"The funny thing is, I tried so hard to root for the Eagles, [but] it seemed like every time they had a good team something happened, and they couldn't pull it through and break your heart . . . I'm a Philly fan for every sport except for football. I always try to say that with the Steelers [being in the AFC], I can still root for the Eagles."
