You may have heard this once or twice, so if this next statement sounds redundant, we apologize. You may have heard though. There's a pretty big game being played on Sunday. The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs meet in Super Bowl LIX to determine who will claim the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Steelers Nearly Landed Eagles CB Darius Slay

Those of you who are casual fans or new to this are learning the Super Bowl is a pretty big deal. Over the years, there have been discussions about making it a national holiday.

That makes sense to us. After all, holidays bring people together and are celebrated at the same time of year. They also often birth memories, moments we'll never forget. That brings us to to recent pieces of news that we'd like to discuss.

Eagles news: Darius Slay will play one more season and call it a career.

We've heard Darius Slay say this before, but statements weigh a little heavier when they are made during Super Bowl Week. The veteran corner, 2017 First-Team All-Pro, and six-time Pro Bowler has determined he'll play one more NFL season in 2025 and call it a career.

As you see from the above post. He'd like that season to ne played in Philly. We'll see what happens, but first things first. Let's see if he can grab that elusive ring on football's biggest stage.

We're pulling for him.

More Eagles news: Who would have thought? Deebo Samuel rocks a kelly green jersey.

Strange occurrences are also commonplace during football's biggest week. The Super Bowl brings the stars out from all walks of life. That includes NFL stars. One of the most recognizable recently sent a shock through our systems.

Longtime Eagles nemesis and San Francisco 49ers star Deebo Samuel showed up in New Orleans rocking a kelly green jersey.

We enter exhibit A into evidence.

We get it. He's rocking an A.J. Brown jersey. We know the two or close, but it's Deebo Samuel in an Eagles jersey. You can understand why this threw us off-guard, right?

That's cool. We'll take it. New York Giants are cheering for Philly. Why shouldn't Deebo do the same? We can live with this. Just don't invite these guys into the locker room for the celebration or allow them access to the victory parade.
