REP YOUR ROOTS
You'll see more than 200 players, coaches, and staff proudly wearing their country or territory's flag as part of the International Helmet Decal Initiative. More than 50 nations will be represented across the NFL.
NFL fans are worldwide, and this is a great opportunity to represent countries that are special to players and coaches alike. Six Eagles players will be participating in the initiative: Arryn Siposs, Jordan Mailata, and Matt Leo (Australia); Britain Covey (Chile); Zach Pascal (Grenada); and Marlon Tuipulotu (Tonga).
Siposs said, "I'm super proud to come over here and do what I do and do it for all my family back home." He shared that his family tunes into the NFL very early in the morning from Australia to support him.
For Leo, it represents the diversity of the NFL: "Seeing the world flags across all the players representing where they're from and born and raised is just a big opportunity for us and the league."
HOUSE OF HOPE
On Sunday, the reunion tour continues for the Eagles as they will face another member of the 2017 Super Bowl Champion team in tight end Zach Ertz.
Ertz spent nine seasons in Philadelphia until he was traded last October to Arizona. He and his wife Julie were known difference-makers in the City of Philadelphia where they launched The Ertz Family Foundation.
The foundation has only grown in the city since Ertz's departure and that is largely in part due to Zach and Julie's unwavering love for a place they once called home, and for people that will always be family.
As part of the foundation's efforts, they announced the opening of the House of Hope. They kickstarted a capital campaign to raise $900,000 to support the renovations, operating costs, and future expenses of the space. Ertz announced to Philly media on Monday that they've raised $1.2 million. The goal is for House of Hope to open at the beginning of 2023.
Ertz said it will be a place kids can go after school for tutoring. It will also house a community kitchen and there will be access to financial literacy courses, gaming, and so much more.
"We just wanted this to be a place where kids look forward to going each and every day," Ertz said. "Obviously, with everything going on in the city right now, with the gun violence going on, we feel like this is a very important project to us and we would love for people to continue to join in."
