Doing the Right Thing

[Perknose]

This simple act of inclusion and recognition tells me everything I need to know about the class and integrity of the Philadelphia Eagles organization.

Carol Cullen thought she received the message in error.

The email from the Philadelphia Eagles came through about a month and a half ago while she was at work, notifying her that she would be receiving a Super Bowl LII championship ring. Thing is, Wilson had been fired by the Eagles -- or more specifically, former coach Chip Kelly -- a couple of years back, so she responded by saying there must be some mistake.

Her connection to the Eagles organization remained strong. And, as it turns out, she even helped influence one of the most memorable plays of the team's Super Bowl run.

Coach Doug Pederson explained to SI back in January that when he was an assistant under Reid from 2009 to 2012, Cullen was the one who would type the game plan into the computer. She is a huge fan of the flea-flicker play and would ask every week if it was installed. Sometimes it was, but they never called it.

Her championing of the play continued right up to the NFC title game against the Minnesota Vikings.

"I texted [Pederson] prior to the [Vikings game] just to say good luck," she said. "And I said to him in the text, 'And I only have one thing to say, and that's 'flea-flicker.' And he texted me back, 'Actually it's in the game plan this week. All I have to do is call it.' And during the game he called it."

"Great lady. Very deserving. It's so classy that they included her. Not a lot of organizations would have," said former head coach Dick Vermeil, who preceded Campbell in Philadelphia and got to know Cullen over the years. "To me it just shows the class from the ownership right on down through the organization, and how much they respect loyalty."

It was an Eagles connection that helped Cullen land on her feet after Kelly let her go. Former tight end John Spagnola heard that she was looking for work, and he helped her land a gig at Public Financial Management as an associate. She has been there for about two years now, and is still getting used to that 9-to-5 life.

Dumbasses, we grease all of our metal poles that people want to climb before big, or potentially big, events. Like the saying goes, no such thing as too much lube!

I really hope that shit eating idiot lost a bet or something, nothing says "I'm excited!" like eating a big mouthful of shit off the ground.

WTF is wrong with you? Perk is right, this was a classy move on the Eagle’s part!

 

[kranky]

Of course I have no great love for the Eagles being from Steelers Nation, but I am impressed by this move and not too many teams would have done that. I have to tip my hat to them.

 

[Darwin333]

And at absolute worse she can hawk it for $30K+.

Can't say I care much about the Eagles, but that's a fine classy move on their part and should be commended.

BD231's WTF moment, on the other hand, should be as ridiculed as it has been thus far.
