IS GONNA GOOSE THE MAVERICKS
We rarely do promotional announcements here at Eagletarian, but this is for a good cause.
The Eagles have announced details of a new preseason fundraising event that will replace the annual Eagles Carnival.
Rather than an afternoon event in late August, the Eagles will hold Eagles Flight Night on Sunday, Aug. 2 at 7 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field, with proceeds still benefitting the Eagles Youth Partnership.
The new event features an open preseason practice, fireworks, player intros, autographed merchandise for sale, giveaways and interactive events, appearances by Eagles alumni, Swoop and the cheerleaders.
According to the Eagles' Web site, ticket prices start at $20 for an adult and $10 for children, 12 and under, who purchase seats toward the end zone. Tickets between the 40-yard lines will cost $30 per person. By purchasing club seats, at $45 a ticket, fans can meet cheerleaders and alumni members.
Tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster at PhiladelphiaEagles.com or through Ticketmaster charge-by-phone at 800-745-3000.

Les
Bowen has covered the Eagles for the Daily News
since 2002.
Before that, he spent nearly 13 years covering the Flyers. It took Les
only a few seasons after the switch to figure out that there was no
penalty box at the Linc, and that the time really wasn't his, despite
what Andy Reid kept saying. Les came to Philadelphia and the Daily News
from Charlotte in 1983. In the intervening years, he has pretty much
lost track of NASCAR, and his accent. He, his wife Barbara, and their
two sons live in Haddon Township, New Jersey.

Paul
Domowitch has been with the Daily News since 1982.
He has spent most of his nearly 3 decades with the paper covering the
Eagles and pro football. For the last 10 years, he’s been a
selector for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A native of Wilkes-Barre
and a graduate of Wilkes University, Domo started his career in Texas,
working first for the Midland Reporter-Telegram (1976-78), and then for
the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, where he covered some god-awful Texas
Ranger baseball teams. His first beat at the Daily News actually was
boxing, which he covered just long enough to lose 2 sports coats to
blood spatter before moving on to football. Domo and his wife Shelley,
a University of Oklahoma grad who still hasn’t gotten over
that Fiesta Bowl loss to Boise State 5 years ago, have 2 terrific
daughters -- Allison, 28, who is an attorney in South Jersey, and Amy,
25, who works in administration for a professional baseball team.
