JACKSONVILLE, Fla. _ On two large television screens at the front of a standing-room-only room, the Eagles are playing in the Super Bowl. They are losing.
Rod Martin is intercepting Ron Jaworski and Jim Plunkett is throwing to Cliff Branch and the Oakland Raiders are on their way. Dick Vermeil, arms crossed, is looking on in grim resignation. He has, reluctantly, accepted the inevitable.
If you are 24 years old, or younger, this is all happening before you were born.
Now, 24 years later, at the front of the large room, behind one of those TV sets, Andy Reid is waiting to go on stage.
He is wearing his customary work attire _ black shorts, black short-sleeved shirt, black sleeveless vest, white Eagles cap, stern look.
A stern, stern look.
