The Birds are back

Anybody remember the Eagles? You know, those guys in the green shirts?
Draw a lot of fans with faces painted green?

Last seen the Birds – and their fans – were melting in the Arizona desert, losing an NFC Championship game most people thought they were going to win, punching their ticket to the Super Bowl.

Since then the town’s been painted red. It’s been all-Phillies, all the time. Don’t think for a moment this has escaped the notice of the folks down at NovaCare nation.

They don’t like being unceremoniously booted off the Back Page.

The Eagles will head back up the Northeast Extension to their training camp at Lehigh University this weekend, and thousands of their loyal zealots will follow them.

Today, the Eagles will show everyone that the Phillies aren’t the only team in town that can sell tickets.

Sure, the Phils have sold out 40 dates at Citizens Bank Park. Today the Eagles will put on sale a limited number of “standing room only” ducats for their home dates at Lincoln Financial Field.

Look for these $55 bargains to go in a matter of minutes.

If it’s mid-July, it must be football season.

Welcome back, guys.
