Eagles at the Super Bowl?

[Maleah]

I don't know if this has been mentioned somewhere or not, but I've read at two different sites that the Eagles might be the halftime entertainment for the 2008 super bowl!

"The band is reportedly close to signing a deal with the NFL to be halftime performers at the 2008 Super Bowl."

and


"It appears the Eagles may be going to the Super Bowl.

No, not the Philadelphia Eagles, but rather the legendary band featuring lead singer Glenn Frey.

Sportsbybrooks.com reports that there of a 90% chance of the Eagles performing at halftime of the Super Bowl on Feb. 3 in Arizona.

And if that is the case, it will be Glenn Frey in Glendale."

Now if the Packers can just make the Superbowl this year...and the Eagles playing at halftime! My idea of heaven!

I shouldn't say this but I always get a slight thrill when something like this is said.

I hope they do it. I watched the Stones in 2006 & they were awesome. This year I watched Prince do Purple Rain. If I could record this I would be in heaven.

Hmmm...the folks live in Arizona..... :P

That would be great if the Eagles are there. Today I've checked all our sport channels and it seems I will be able to watch it. I'm not interested in the Super Bowl but in this case...

Reviving this old thread because now, on Superbowl Sunday as I watch the Who play for the press before their halftime show, I still think about how it would have been if the Eagles had played it. Yes, it's been two years since that rumor was squelched, but I still think of it when the Superbowl comes on. Sad but true!


ETA: I wonder if Glenn's ever bought tickets to this?

[Super Frey]

I never heard that about the Eagles, I'll be watching The Who on my big screen Go Colts!!

[sodascouts]

I just remembered that Glenn played a tailgate party at 1992's Superbowl... so we know he went to that one at least! Duh, Nancy! lol

And yeah...

GO COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!

[EagleLady]

Go Saints!!!!!!! Although I'll be happy with either team.

I have no idea where to post this question - not sure that it merits its own thread - but shouldn't the Eagles play the Super Bowl? Is there any info or discussion about this in these boards? Seems like a no-brainer to me. Would the guys want to do it? I just read an article that details the exact committee within the NFL, and the marketing people from Pepsi, (and their names) who select the halftime performers. We could send lots of e-mails! But I wouldn't want to make the effort if the Eagles have previously indicated they wouldn't be into it...
