Reid makes rare public appearance in W-B

From the time he arrived in Philadelphia, Eagles coach Andy Reid has been a champion of change.

Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid was featured as keynote speaker for Thursday's Volunteers of America Celebrity Dinner at Genetti's Convention and Hotel Center in Wilkes-Barre.

At first, he promised to turn around the losing culture surrounding the Eagles. When they became winners, he vowed to take them to the Super Bowl. And when they walked away from the NFL's biggest stage three points shy of winning a Super Bowl three years ago, he swore he wouldn't rest until his Eagles attained the title.

It's no surprise then that Reid arrived at Genetti's Convention and Hotel Center to make a rare promotional appearance Thursday at the Volunteers of America Celebrity Dinner.

After all, the organization is just as dedicated to making changes as the Eagles head coach is.

"I don't do much (public speaking engagements) at all," Reid said. "And I have opportunities to do a bunch of them. I kind of like what the Volunteers of America stand for. They're committed in so many areas, helping people become better people and helping people in need become independent.

"It's a tribute to the hard work they put in."

CLICK it 4 the full read.........gotta hand it to him, he really doesn't do many public speaking gigs like this.....nice one andy !!!!

It's about time some 1 from the front office really put the SuperBowl as our numba 1 goal this year.I got tired of hearin about the WR's,Mini Camps,I wanna talk about the ring that we all can wear in our hearts as an Eagle.

amen!!! i like this quote from you:

the ring that we all can wear in our hearts as an Eagle.

i see alot of ppl. saying bring us a ring.......we aren't wearing the ring persay, the team wears the ring, but u worded that perfectly !!!

the next time big red speaks, i hope he's holding up a jersey,standing next to ANYBODY fast,under 30, and over 6'2....

I don't think the FO is finished tweaking the team. And if a top flight offensive weapon becomes available after June 1st. You better believe that the FO will do what they can to get them here. Our team isn't shy in going after what they want. Hopefully it pans out better than the Kearse's of the world. But hey, at least we gave it a shot!!

Thanks & nice post CK!
