Police say someone was stabbed about a half-block off the parade route. No details were given and the person’s condition wasn’t revealed. Throngs of adoring fans swarmed the city to see their champs parade up Broad Street. Overall Tony Romo Cowboys Jersey , the crowds were buoyant and peaceful. There’s no word on any arrests. Democratic Mayor Jim Kenney had asked fans to celebrate with passion and pride after Sunday’s wild postgame celebration was marred by small pockets of ”knuckleheads” who resorted to violence and vandalism. The biggest problem facing parade-goers Thursday afternoon was making the trip home on mass transit. One heavily used subway station was closed about an hour after the victory rally ended due to overcrowding. — 2:45 p.m. The championship Philadelphia Eagles ended their raucous, emotional rally by giving props to their fans. Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles and Carson Wentz thanked the roaring crowds from the ”Rocky” steps at the art museum Thursday, and Jason Kelce gave a rousing lecture on the meaning of the word underdog for Philadelphia. It was a passionate defense of the coach and general manager and went through all the criticism they have faced over the years. Malcolm Jenkins also hit the underdog theme: ”They doubted us as players, they doubted us as a team.” The team descended the art museum steps to Meek Mill’s ”Dreams and Nightmares.” The incarcerated Philadelphia rapper’s song has become an anthem for the team this season. — 2:25 p.m. The Eagles have landed on the ”Rocky” steps. The parade is over but the Super Bowl victory rally is roling with the team descending the art museum steps to Meek Mill’s ”Dreams and Nightmares.” The incarcerated Philadelphia rapper’s song has become an anthem for the team this season. Three fighter jets buzzed overhead, as trumpeter Jesse McGuire performed ”The Star Spangled Banner.” Owner Jeffrey Lurie is telling the crowd ”Philly, you are super bowl champions.

Players are taking turns thanking the roaring crowd. — 12:30 p.m. The championship Philadelphia Eagles are making their way through the jubilant throngs of fans at the city’s first-ever Super Bowl parade, but don’t expect any official estimate of the crowd size. The city has said they aren’t planning to release any crowd size estimates after Thursday’s festivities, making any number a guess as easily inflatable as a football (sorry Pats fans). But there’s certainly a massive, roaring crowd. Easily hundreds of thousands of groupies are lining the 5-mile (8-kilometer) route from the stadium to the art museum’s ”Rocky” steps. It’s a much longer route than the Phillies had for their 2008 World Series championship parade in 2008, and more spread out than the crowds for Pope Francis’s visit in 2015. Organizers prepared for as many as 2 million people. — 11:25 a.m. The Philadelphia Eagles are thanking the fans and sharing their championship glory as the Super Bowl parade makes its way up Broad Street Minkah Fitzpatrick Dolphins Jersey , the main thoroughfare from the team’s stadium to city hall. Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie stood atop an open-air double-decker bus along with quarterbacks Nick Foles, Carson Wentz and third-stringer Nate Sudfeld as they made their way through the throngs. Lurie held a sign reading ”Thank You Fans” and a smiling Super Bowl MVP Foles brandished the Vince Lombardi trophy. Coach Doug Pederson disembarked from the bus to show off the trophy to the thrilled crowds; other players tossed T-shirts to fans along the route. And Jason Kelce walked along – dressed in full Mummers regalia looking somewhat like Aladdin – shaking hands with fans and leading them in chants. Hundreds of thousands of roaring, jubilant fans are in position to cheer their heroes along the way to the art museum’s ”Rocky” steps. — 11 a.m. The Eagles have landed on Broad Street: The championship parade Philadelphia has dreamed about for decades is finally underway. Players are cruising along the 5-mile (8-kilometer) parade route atop open-air, double-decker buses. They started off near their stadium just before 11 a.m. Thursday and winding up at the art museum’s ”Rocky” steps. Many players are sporting their parade finest: Chris Long is donning a faux full-length fur coat over an Allen Iverson 76ers jersey. Jason Kelce is in full Mummers regalia, faintly resembling an Aladdin costume in a nod to Philadelphia’s raucous annual parade on New Year’s Day. Hundreds of thousands of roaring, jubilant fans are in position to cheer their heroes along the way. Organizers are prepared for as many as 2 million people. — 7 a.m. All roads and rails lead to Philadelphia as fans pour into the city for the Eagles’ Super Bowl parade. People began lining the 5-mile (8-kilometer) route before dawn Thursday. Organizers are prepared for as many as 2 million people, but the actual number may be much lower. Many fans are taking mass transit. New Jersey Transit on Wednesday suspended ticket sales on it Raptors head coach Dwane Casey knows this much about his future in Toronto: his key to the gym still works. Right now, that’s all Casey can say for certain after meeting with Toronto President Masai Ujiri Wednesday morning, with little else clear about the coach’s outlook with the organization. Ujiri said Casey has been ”unbelievable for our organization” but declined to make a firm commitment about Casey’s future, saying he needed more time to evaluate the entire team. ”We’re evaluating everything and that’s how we’re going to leave it Mitchell Trubisky Jersey ,” Ujiri said. ”It’s my responsibility as a leader to do that and we’ll go from there.” It was the first time Casey and Ujiri spoke to reporters since Toronto was swept out of the second round of the playoffs for the second straight season. Ujiri talked about his uncertainty regarding Casey’s future the same day Casey was named coach of the year by the National Basketball Coaches Association . The award is voted on by NBA head coaches. A media panel voted separately for the NBA’s coach of the year award, which will be announced June 25. Ujiri’s wait-and-see approach didn’t appear to bother Casey, who said he was aware of the questions about his job but didn’t need Ujiri to provide a public backing. ”I haven’t gone looking for a vote of confidence or anything like that because no one is saying anything different,” Casey said. ”Until they do, I’m still here, still fighting, still scratching, still meeting with players. That’s all I can do. Nobody has changed my key card, the door still opens. I’ve had some meetings with Masai talking about what we can do better next year to get over the hump.” It’s not uncommon for Ujiri to withhold definitive support for a head coach – he also declined to address Casey’s status after last year’s sweep. Ujiri said the Raptors are ”absolutely disappointed” at their playoff exit after a franchise-record 59 wins in the regular season gave Toronto the top seed in the Eastern Conference for the first time in franchise history. That came after Ujiri demanded a ”culture reset” last spring, leading a greater emphasis on ball movement Leighton Vander Esch Jersey Elite , depth, and 3-point shooting. ”In the regular season there was good success,” Ujiri said. ”Going from last year to this year, we’re happy with the jump we made, with some of the things we said we wanted to do. We got stuck at a certain point.” While playoff results may suggest otherwise, Casey insisted ”the gap is closing” between the Raptors and Cavaliers, who ousted Toronto form the postseason for the third year in a row. ”A lot of folks have run up against Cleveland in the last few years and had the same challenge and it went down the same way,” Casey said. ”That’s the mountain this organization has to climb.” Ujiri bristled about the Raptors being the butt of jokes about their long-running struggles with the Cavs, who have won 10 straight postseason games against Toronto. ”We believe in what we’re doing here,” Ujiri said. ”We believe in the growth. We’re relevant now in the NBA. And when you get relevant Joe Thomas Jersey , now you have to meet the challenges, every day, of expectations and growing, getting bigger, and winning. And that’s what we’re going to try and do.” — . | ||||
