There’s excitement in the air in eastern Pennsylvania with the Philadelphia Eagles playing for a championship in Sunday’s Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Both teams have won 16 games and lost three, although the Eagles have only lost one game when starting quarterback Jalen Hurts plays.
This may be the best Eagles team to ever take the field.
The guest on The Spark Friday may know better than anyone – Ray Didinger is revered by Philadelphia sports fans as a sportswriter and broadcaster. He also authored the Eagles Encyclopedia. One final item in Ray’s biography — he’s a playwright as many of you saw his play Tommy and Me at the Hershey Theatre last August.
