Good morning, Eagles fans. This is the first Super Bowl-week edition of Early Birds. The Eagles arrived in Minneapolis on Sunday. So did I, along with many of my colleagues from the Inquirer, Daily News, and Philly.com. We’ll have coverage for you throughout the week.
The big event on Monday will be “Super Bowl Opening Night,” otherwise known as media day. It’s going to be late — the Patriots at 8:10 p.m. and the Eagles at 10 p.m. — but that’s when all the players, coaches, and some team executives will be available to reporters for an hour in a made-for-TV event that’s become as well known for some outrageous questions and costumes as for the insight from the teams.
