It was a work day and the sky was threatening rain, but the season-ticket holders and other invited guests still streamed into the parking lot adjacent to the NovaCare Complex on Friday and made their way down the concrete walk to the practice field.
Merrill Reese and Mike Quick accompanied them every step of the way, as highlights of the radio call from the Super Bowl blared from speakers that lined the path. Apparently, and stop me if you’ve heard this, Tom Brady’s desperation pass fell incomplete and the Eagles won the darn thing. Even if the surprise has worn off over these last six months, Merrill still sounded a little shocked.
