Tuning In: Your Guide to Eagles Radio Bliss
There are more ways to listen to the Eagles game than there are feathers on Gritty's glorious head (and that's a LOT). Here's your cheat sheet to radio nirvana:
Turn Up the Volume: 97.3 ESPN - This is the official radio home of the Eagles, with the legendary duo of Merrill Reese and Mike Quick calling all the action. Get ready for Merrill's iconic fight songs and Mike Quick's expert analysis (along with some questionable jokes, but that's all part of the charm).
The App-solute Advantage: Philadelphia Eagles App - If you're within 75 miles of Philly, you can download the official Eagles app and snag the radio broadcast right there. It's like having a pocket-sized Merrill Reese cheering you on!
Stream Dream: TuneIn and Beyond - For those on the go (or just not within radio range), there are several options for streaming the Eagles game. TuneIn is a great free option, and there might be other streaming services offering the broadcast depending on your provider. Just be sure to check for blackout restrictions in your area!
Pro Tip: If you're watching the game on TV but want the dulcet tones of Merrill Reese narrating the action, sync your DVR with the radio broadcast for the complete Eagles gameday experience.
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.
Words of Wisdom (and Warnings) for Eagles Radio Listeners
Silence Those Ad Blockers: Some radio streams might not work with ad blockers on. Turn them off for a bit and enjoy those thrilling car dealership commercials (or mute the sound if you can't take it anymore).
Embrace the Lingo: Be prepared for some Philly-specific terms. You might hear about "scrapping" (fighting for extra yards), "throwing a cheesesteak" (an errant pass), or the ever-important "Wawa run" (a necessary concession stand trip at halftime).
Embrace the Excitement: When the Eagles score that winning touchdown, be ready to erupt in cheers! Just make sure you warn your neighbors beforehand (or they might call the cops on you... again).
