Need a ticket? Don't call Leo anymore (The Associated Press)
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- For more than five decades, Leo Carlin was the most popular guy in town whenever the Dallas Cowboys came to Philadelphia.
This week, he should be able to rest.
Carlin was the Eagles' ticket man for 55 years until he retired in April. His phone always rang off the hook during the week Dallas came to town. Whether it was real friends or friends of friends, players, coaches or people he never met, Carlin was their go-to guy.
''A big game like this, demand would be gigantic,'' Carlin said Thursday.
Carlin hasn't faded off into retirement. He was back at the team's practice facility one day after his 78th birthday and three days before Sunday's home opener against Dallas.
