Eagles nation is going under the needle im Vittoria Woodill and we go inside a local tattoo shop that is ink ing up eagles fans for free and see why this painting as our super bowl coverage continues we are going back out to minneapolis, minnesota where jessica dean is hanging out at the mall. Sounds nice. We understand you had a chance to catch up with former eagles quarterback rodney peete and his wife, holy, big eagles fans. That is root big fans. Rodney peete a former eagle and holy Robinson Pete a fill girl, her mom delores robin search a big deal in philadelphia heres what they are up to lately. Rodney we will start with you. We have kitten bowl coming up. Tell us about all these kitties here. It is an a nation program. Been to the super bowl before but nothing like kitten bowl. It is a Wonderful Program at end of the day it business rescue and, since kitten bowl has started over 13,000 kitties have been rescued. It is an amazing program. Im so happy to be part of it. Tell me about the process of, beat the petes, right.

Rodney loves that part. Do you love it. Do i. We have a picture of your mom at kyw back in the day. Yes. Shes a legend in philly. She will tell you that herself, my mom, started off in philadelphia being a local tv personality in philadelphia and then we moved to california, and yes, she has been around and she is had an amazing life and legacy. Our philadelphia roots are very deep. From your perspective as a former quarterback this whole nick foles story, what do you think about that. It is tough when you lose your starting quarterback and carson wentz goes down because he probably would have won mvp but fact that Doug Pederson brought in nick foles he understood that if something were to happy had a quality backup. This is a dream come true to have eagles here, i wish my dad was alive to see it but im so excited about it and yes, rodney was an eagles quarterback which was an amazing experience for me to be married to an eagles quarterback and eagles fans. It is a great time. We are rooting for eagles to win. They need to win this game. Fly eagles fly. Through go fly eagles fly. Holys wearing green nail polish to make the point even further and of course hosting the kitten bowl.
