The Philadelphia Eagles are flying excessive. They have the most effective general report within the NFL and are on the quick monitor to the NFL playoffs.
When you win as a lot because the Eagles do, that will get you plenty of Victory Mondays off. So of their spare time, the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line recorded a Christmas album.
Yes, the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line.
Center Jason Kelce and tackles Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson are predominantly featured on a seven monitor album that covers well-liked Christmas songs akin to “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” and “White Christmas”. We love the Eagles OL and we additionally love Christmas songs, so right here’s our evaluate of ‘A Philly Special Christmas’.

Good Lord, this album completely rocks. Opening up with a banger rendition of “White Christmas,” you’ll be able to inform that this album was constructed fairly rigorously, understanding everybody’s strengths and weaknesses. Kelce has a really gravelly voice, type of like the way you think about your uncle singing Christmas songs, as does Lane Johnson.
Jordan Mailata can sing his ASS off, although. From his entry on “White Christmas” to “Merry Christmas Baby”, Mailata takes over because the star of each tune. Like he’s truly REALLY good at this.
One of the funnier tracks on the album is the rendition of Silent Night. Instead of singing the tune, on the second verse the choir sings “Eagles” to the tune of Silent Night. It made me chuckle and was a really good nod to the Eagles fanbase.
The greatest monitor on the album is the opener to me. White Christmas is a superb Christmas tune, and each participant stands out on their very own approach.
Overall, it appeared like that they had plenty of enjoyable with it, and you’ll inform. This album positively passes the Christmas album check. Even my child sister liked it!

Look. I’m a New England Patriots fan. I’m nonetheless bitter over Super Bowl LII. The title of this album? ‘A Philly Special Christmas’!? This album began out with two strikes in opposition to it.
It one way or the other hammered a fastball low and away out of the park.
I liked it. Absolutely liked it. It begins out robust, with their rendition of “White Christmas.” Then Kelce and Johnson take their flip at “Blue Christmas,” and fully pull it off.
Then the album takes an absolute star flip.
Because Jordan Mailata completely crushes “Merry Christmas Baby.” We’re speaking Bryce Harper in Game 5 in opposition to the San Diego Padres. Honestly, this shouldn’t be a shock. Mailata’s musical chops have been lengthy established. Here’s a video of him from a “Luau in October” occasion again in 2019:
And when the Eagles held their workforce vacation social gathering final week, Mailata took a flip on the mic:
Incredible.
Speaking of unimaginable, the subsequent monitor is a studying of “The Night Before Christmas,” from Eagles long-time radio announcer Merrill Reese. It goes precisely how you’d think about the long-time radio voice of the Eagles studying “The Night Before Christmas” would sound. It is overly dramatic, extremely amped up, and completely excellent for the texture of whole album.
But truthfully, my favourite monitor on your entire album could be “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).” It’s lengthy been a favourite Christmas tune of mine, and Kelce, Johnson and Mailata work so effectively collectively on this monitor.
The true check? We listened to the album as a household. Everyone liked it, particularly Simone, who stated it was “up there with Ariana Grande.”
