But I wasn't logged into Facebook when I saw it. Browser setting?

Yeah, it's kind of big thing around here (I'm 12 miles due south of Philly).

Been wearing Reggie White's jersey for the past two days and every sentence I utter ends with, "Go Birds!":

As a retired high school teacher and coach, I had the opportunity to coach some wonderful young men and athletes plus coach against many athletes who moved on to college and professional sports. Reggie White was one and this happened in 1986 or 1987 during a Christmas basketball tournament in Chattanooga, Tennessee. We played Chattanooga Howard and their starting post player (center) was, yes, Reggie White and he was a very good basketball player + he could really move for a big big man. Dickson County, the team I coached, was behind by double digits at half time. We come out of the locker room do our couple minutes of warm ups and I notice, no Reggie White and curious but happy he is not with his Howard team.
We make a 3rd quarter run and down by 3 - still no Reggie and we got a legitimate chance of winning this game. Three minutes left in the game and we are up 4. Their coach calls a time out and Reggie jogs out of the locker room onto the floor. Coach inserts him into the game and we lose. As we were in line shaking hands, after the game, I said to Reggie, "hope you are feeling better (assumed he was feeling sick at half time - wrong)." And I paraphrase (36 years to long to quote), "nosir coach, I wasn't sick, I made the high school All American Football Team and it was filmed an on TV. Coach said I could watch it cause I ain't never been on TV." True story and I followed his success through the University of Tennessee, Green Bay Packers, and your Eagles.

Honestly, I had no idea who was in it this year. I’m pretty much a local sports town guy. I used be into all the local teams, rarely watch sports any longer. Too social justice oriented these days. I’d rather play guitar. If our team is in the playoffs I may watch. We got really spoiled with the Patriots, but that thrill is gone.

This year we’ll likely turn on the game, air fry some Buffalo wings and have a beer out of tradition. However, I’ll be more interested in watching the commercials.

Love Jordan Mailata! The rugby clip in this article is awesome.

How Jordan Mailata transformed from a rugby player to Eagles' $64 million left tackle

The 6-foot-8 Australian has come a long way since a dazzling workout paved his path to the NFL. His story is making an impact with international players.

And the dude can flat play guitar AND sing. The Eagles O-line did a Christmas album this year and he killed it. Here he is singing at an event in 2019:

HA! Great minds ....

As usual, I'm not watching the game today, simply because I don't care at all about sports in general. Not to sound sour grapes, but there are too many overpriced juvenile delinquents in football today, playing what has proven to be a very dangerous kid's game. I hope my grandson decides not to play football when he gets older. My daughter has already said she won't permit it.

I hadn't heard of him until they played the 49ers. Whoever the poor guy was who lined up across from him didn't stand a chance!

I showed the wife the singing clip, and she now officially has the hots for him.
