The Dallas Cowboys remain America's Team and the popularity of the Eagles nationally is falling, according to a Harris poll released Tuesday. The Birds are ranked 13th. They were ranked fifth in 2004 and 2005, when they were in the Super Bowl, and seventh last year. "For the casual fans, the knee-jerk reaction will be the change in the quarterback, which for most people is the face of the franchise," said Aubrey Kent, director of Temple's Sport Industry Research Center. "You can’t deny there is a substantial group of people out there who can’t bring themselves to celebrate the success of [Eagles' quarterback] Michael Vick."
