One week to Lehigh
Seven days from this morning, the Eagles will open their 2007 Training Camp in Bethlehem, Pa. A few weeks later marks the beginning of the preseason, and after four more weeks, the season opener in Green Bay.
So if the Eagles are an unofficial regional religion, we're about a week out from the start of Lent. And the devout are restless.
With the Phillies wallowing around the .500 mark, the Sixers and Flyers coming off atgrocious seasons, and some promising signs left over from the Birds' mini camps, the anticipation seems like it's a little more amped, at least more than last year.
A lot of the preseason prognostications have the Birds as the class of the NFC East and one of the best three teams in the conference. Which is a little like being the Cleveland Cavaliers, but still, SOMEBODY has to go to the Super Bowl. So why not Philadelphia?
If there is an answer to that question, it might show up at Lehigh. A week from now, things are going to start mattering a whole lot more.
