Tuna Tradition
Before today's practice, WR Terrell Owens was "flapping his wings" the way he used to in a Philly uniform. And it caused a small breakout of "flying" in the stretching lines.
It just a small piece of the Cowboys-Eagles rivalry. Here's another new one. Over the last few years, Bill Parcells developed a penchant for coming to players during Philly week and snapping to them, "Do you know who Swoop is?" After Tuna explained that it was the mascot that flies in on a string while the Rocky music is playing before games, he'd add this:
"Swoop is coming in here to kick your tail!"
And that has carried over. This morning, some vets were all over the rookies at practice for not knowing "Swoop."
"We say it to the young guys, 'Do you know who Swoop is?'" said special teams captain Keith Davis. "We have a little fun with them. We know Philly’s gonna be a tough task for us."
