The Philadelphia Eagles were just waiting on an official invite from President Donald Trump and the White House, and it looks like they got one.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Tuesday that the Eagles have accepted the invite and will be heading to Washington D.C. on April 28 to celebrate their 40-22 historic Super Bowl LIX win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
“I know there was a lot of fake news about an invitation that wasn’t sent or was sent. We want to correct the record: We sent an invitation. They enthusiastically accepted, and you will see them here on April 28,” Leavitt said at the daily White House briefing.
This is a bit of a change up from when the Eagles declined their White House invite from President Trump back in 2018 following their Super Bowl LII win over the New England Patriots.
However, a lot has since changed with the Eagles, including their head coaching staff and player roster. The only players left from that Super Bowl run are Lane Johnson, Brandon Graham, Jake Lovato, and Jake Elliott.
The Eagles also did just lose a handful of Super Bowl LIX champs to NFL free agency this week, but that doesn't mean they're not invited.
President Trump made history at the year's championship game, becoming the first sitting president ever to attend a Super Bowl.
He did, however, predict that the Chiefs would be taking home a third-straight Lombardi trophy.
“I guess you have to say that when a quarterback wins as much as he’s won, I have to go with Kansas City,” President Trump said ahead of the game.
I don't doubt that at least one of the Eagles players will take over the mic at the celebration to roast Trump on that freezing-cold take.
