In a mighty, sonorous daylong swan-song, a steady parade of organists will perform hourly recitals this Saturday on the Wanamaker Grand Court Organ.

This is the saddest video in my feed this evening.
They’re even selling the empty shelves & racks now inside the Macy’s Center City Philadelphia store. Large lit up Coach advertisement sign for $250 is among the ‘Everything Must Go’ sale. The sad, final days of Philadelphia’s most historic department store, closing in days.

Edgy, warm, and so clever
I’m sure we’ve all seen it by now, but I cannot express how unbelievable this Nike ad is… Between this & the Jordan “Love, Hurts.” ad, they’re on an all-time heater. Incredible. xitter.cf/Nike/status/1888790113…

Saquon Barkley on Eagles fans on @HowardStern @sternshow today “There’s no fans like Philly fans. I saw a clip the other day, when we won and they were celebrating down Broad Street, and there were a couple people just riding horses down the street. And I'm just like, “Where do they find these horses?” Like the things that they do. I saw there was a young gentleman in a wheelchair and Philly fans had him in the wheelchair, and he's crowd surfing. You don't see that side of Philly fans a lot. The loving side. So definitely gotta shout out to them. They don't really mob you, but it's love here. I tell you what, it is love here. You walk in and you get some dinner, your dinner might be paid for majority of time. It might be paid for, especially, you know, the type of season that we had. You are walking out, you're going to get the birds chant, you're gonna get the “Go Birds” chant, whether you're in dinner, on a golf course. And it's just, they just shower you with love. And it's been pretty cool for me and my family 'cause kind of how things ended in New York, there was always love and support there, but things didn't end off on a great note, I guess you could say. And to be able to come here and just the way how they've taken me in and my family in, and my daughter is the star here. They love my little daughter. So it’s been pretty cool.”

“It comes down to the character of the guys you have,” tackle Lane Johnson said. “Do you have guys who care about money, or do you have guys who really love football?”

Life Mantra —
#Eagles DC Vic Fangio on finally winning a Super Bowl after 38 seasons in the NFL: “I heard a quote that Dean Smith many years ago, if you guys remember, he went to a bunch of Final Fours before he finally won one, and they asked him the next day, ‘How does it feel you got a monkey [off your back]?’ He said, ‘I’m the same coach today as I was yesterday. We just got a championship.’ “So I don’t look at it as it validates me or anything. It’s just a great accomplishment.”

You can take the student out of Philly, but you can’t take the Philly out of …. #SuperBowlLIX #FlyEagleFly
This is PITTSBURGH’s University neighborhood Oakland (Carlow, Pitt & CMU) right now. Lots of Philly students celebrating their Iggles. Enjoy. Obey the Law. Stay of the light poles.

BURN, Eagles, BURN
It's really cool that Tom Brady got to be there for the Eagles' two Super Bowl wins! He might be a good luck charm. Have a great night!
