Wanna recreate one of the coolest plays in Super Bowl history while aiding a good cause at the same time?

You and a friend can join Nick Foles to run the Philly Special and tour the Eagles facility.

To enter, all you have to do is make a donation to Dysautonomia International, a nonprofit that advocates for more than 70 million people who live with autonomic nervous system disorders. It’s a cause that means a lot to Foles, as his wife Tori battles an issue known as “postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome,” or POTS. You can help move the research forward for better treatments, and eventually a cure.

Cocktail hour with open bar and passed hors d’oeuvres will include the opportunity for guests to mingle and take photos with Jaworski, Keith Byars, & Dallas Goedert.

Nothing sums up the 2011 Philadelphia Eagles “Dream Team” like the week three 29-16 home loss against the New York Giants.

It was late in the first quarter, New York up 7-0, when Eli Manning saw a wide-9 Eagles blitz and hit Victor Cruz on a simple flare pass. Kurt Coleman missed the first tackle, then Nnamdi Asomugha whiffed on an arm tackle, clattered into his teammate, and Cruz took it in 74 yards for the score.

Cruz went on to score 9 touchdowns that season and rack up 1,536 yards as the Giants won the Super Bowl. The Dream Team finished 8-8.

He had another 1,000 yard receiving season in 2012, then came back to Philly and tore his patellar tendon reaching for a pass in the end zone in 2014 He missed the entire 2015 season with a separate calf issue, returned to put up okay numbers in 2016, then was released by the Giants.

He was just never the same after those injuries, but really became a thorn in the side during the tail-end of Andy Reid’s tenure. Cruz finished his career with 45 catches for 679 yards against the Birds, snagging five total touchdowns. He put up 75 receiving yards on average in 9 games vs. Philly.

Now he’s joining ESPN as a studio analyst:

God bless Marty Mornhinweg. Guy gave 10 years of his career to the Philadelphia Eagles. Then he went to the Jets to become Rex Ryan’s offensive coordinator, which lasted two seasons until Todd Bowles was brought in.

Doug Pederson’s book comes out today, titled “Fearless: How an Underdog Becomes a Champion.”

It was co-authored by Dan Pompei of Bleacher Report and The Athletic, and – ironically enough – Pederson turned down an offer to have ex-critic Mike Lombardi write the book instead. 

That was probably the most interesting excerpt floating around the internet, pre-release. Also intriguing is a passage that details Pederson’s displeasure with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who decided to run out the clock at the end of the first half instead of pushing for more points against the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game.

Vito Stellino, who is not an extra in The Godfather but a Hall of Fame sports writer, lays it out after the jump:
