Morning links: Philadelphia Eagles deliver Super Bowl ring to former executive assistant fired by previous coach; former BYU player warms up Senator Ted Cruz

The Philadelphia Eagles honored a longtime former employee who was fired by a previous coach when it came time to hand out Super Bowl LII championship rings.

Carol Cullen was hired as an executive assistant by the Eagles in 1985 and served in that position — working with seven head coaches, including 14 years with Andy Reid — until Chip Kelly let her go following his second season as head coach, according to an ESPN story.

She had also worked with Doug Pederson, the team’s current head coach who replaced Kelly after the 2015 season, when Pederson was an assistant under Reid from 2009-12, ESPN reported.
