The lead-up to a new edition of the Super Bowl can be full of humorous moments surrounding the events around the stadium. In this case, a Philadelphia Eagles fan had a unique way of referring to his team in a conversation with reporters, recreating the mistake made by the Mayor weeks earlier.

As reporters searched for testimonies from the hundreds of fans gathering around the Caesars Superdome, the cameras captured a unique Eagles fan who spelled out his team’s name in a particular way, reminiscent of that mistake made by Cherelle Parker.

“”E-A-G-E-L. EAGLES!”, the man fervently asserted. From a distance, former Super Bowl champion and current Fox analyst Michael Strahan, jokingly suggested some spelling lessons for all the fans in Philadelphia: “We gotta work on the spelling lesson for these Eagles fans, man.”
