The Andy Reid Bowl is approaching. We are nearing the end of a two-week hype cycle, with interview after interview in which the Chiefs’ coach says nice things about the city where he patrolled the sideline for 14 years. The reunion is bringing back a flood of memories for Eagles lovers all over the Philadelphia area, looking back at Reid’s run of six division titles, five trips to the NFC championship game and an appearance in Super Bowl XXXIX.
But there is one notable group of people from Philly who doesn’t share all those memories: the Eagles’ current players. Of course not! That Super Bowl was 18 years ago, and half of the roster was 7 or younger at the time.
Warning: If you saw the Birds play at Franklin Field, came of age during the Buddy Ryan era or went to an R-rated movie on the Friday night before the Pickle Juice Game, prepare to feel very old.
