Hungry for more Eagles Super Bowl content? Don’t worry. Here’s what’s ahead.
Stories, books, documentaries, hot takes: They're all coming soon, and they're all totally legit (wink, wink).
Hey, I don’t know if you’ve heard, but the Eagles won the Super Bowl! It’s been hard to tell, I know. You’d think such a major milestone in Philadelphia sports — one that has united the entire region in its joy over the victory, its admiration for Saquon Barkley, and its gratitude for the greatest team in franchise history — would attract some coverage and attention.
Yet it’s as if the Eagles’ 40-22 destruction of the Chiefs earlier this month never happened. Within minutes of the game’s final whistle, people just seemed to move on with their lives. No celebration. No reliving and savoring the big game’s big moments. Nothing.
