Here we are again--ready to celebrate Super Bowl LIX--with the Philadelphia Eagles playing the Kansas City Chiefs. I can name at least 7 of our sisters who grew up in the greater Philadelphia area and, as such, are the recipients of a constant flow of emails from their families and friends at the anticipation of the Super Bowl victory against the nasty, going for a three-peat Chiefs.
I think there is a bit of a conflict however as the head coach of the Chiefs is a beloved former coach of the Eagles, Andy Reid---generally acknowledged as a mastermind of the game. Add to that another acknowledged Chief's mastermind, this time on defense, Steve Spagnolli and Kansas City is probably a slight favorite----but, the Eagles are very, very good, too, so I'd say it's a 50-50 game!
P.S. These days the entire Eagles faithful, and probably non-football fans too, will jump at a moment's notice into their fight song: "Fly Eagles Fly." Listen to it here.
Of course, our major event is the 23nd Annual Lenore Shaw Memorial Super Bowl Pool where sisters strive to be one of the four quarter winners.
Great memories, Lenore, especially the one about the bowling alley and the ten dollar bill and the roll over in bed and caught between it and the wall---during a community meeting!
