The Philadelphia Eagles are mentioned on Wheel of Fortune, and NFL Films releases a film their fans are going to love.

Believe it or not, when calendars were turned to the date of March 4th, the Philadelphia Eagles had officially been Super Bowl Champions for one full month. That, in and of itself, isn’t exactly news. If you’re a die-hard fan you’ve waited for this moment all of your life, and you’ve, no doubt, been celebrating said title since the day it happened.

Even with all of that being said, it’s still hard not to pinch yourself from time to time and wonder if all of this is a dream. Isn’t it?

Eagles fans are given two more things to smile about during the first week of March.

Every once in a while, you miss some things that you wish you had seen live. March 5th’s episode of Wheel of Fortune probably would have been thrown into the category of classic if you’re a fan of ‘The Birds’. It probably wouldn’t have been difficult for any native of Philadelphia or member of Eagles Nation to solve one of the puzzles.

Take a look:

Don’t forget to hit your local Wal-Mart or Best Buy tomorrow.

That isn’t all. Those of you who are interested in picking up every piece of memorabilia you can find might find this interesting. NFL Films is set to release a documentary on the Eagles first Super Bowl win in team history. It was put together by Cinedigm and NFL Films. Invited season-ticket members and several others were invited to the NovaCare Complex on Monday, March 5th for a sneak peek. On Tuesday, March 6th, Super Bowl LII Champions: Philadelphia Eagles will be available for everyone else.

Here’s a quote from David Plaut, a now-former senior producer at NFL Films.

"When fans see it, I think they’re going to experience sheer joy of being able to live the season and experience it as if you’re seeing it for the first time. The fans cheer as they see it for the first time, as if they aren’t expecting it. To be able to see that and enjoy that and multiply that by the fact that this fan base hasn’t enjoyed an NFL championship since 1960, this will give them a really good feeling. We make them so that in 20 years, they can pull it and watch it and put themselves right back in the moment or show it to a child who wasn’t here for the Super Bowl and say, ‘This is what we experienced that year. This is so special.’"

We don’t know about you guys, but at ITI, that’s good enough for us. We’ll definitely be in line when stores open.
