“Yeah let’s do it.”
Two years ago today, ladies and gentlemen. Two years since the Eagles became world champions by dispatching Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, Bob Kraft, and the cheating New England Patriots.

“They’re gonna snap it… and it’s Trey Burton, who throws – caught! Foles! Touchdown! How do ya figure!”
It’s a thing of beauty, isn’t it? You’d have to have cajones the size of beach balls to call something like that in the Super Bowl.
Doug Pederson and the Eagles have their ring. Andy Reid has his ring. What a great story. Now we can all die happy.
