What You Need to Know
- Philadelphia attorneys are celebrating the Eagles' run to the Super Bowl, hosting parties and placing wagers on the big game.
- Polsinelli, based in Kansas City and a newcomer in Philadelphia, has found a way to support both teams playing this year.
- The two offices are placing a friendly, food-based wager on which team will win.
The city skyline glows green each night. Cars are flying team flags that range from reasonably sized to massive. Banners and messages of support are posted outside nearly every single office building and on every single bus; and don’t forget that you can also call and leave a message to the team either via hot-line or at a handful of rotary phones stationed across town.
The Philadelphia Eagles are going to the Super Bowl, and even the busiest lawyers in the city are taking a moment to engage in some good-spirited fun and competition in the lead-up to Sunday’s big game.
