Be like Mike? Jalen Hurts gets championship tip from Michael Jordan on how to win another Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts revealed that Michael Jordan, a friend and fellow cigar enthusiast, offered him advice following the team's Super Bowl victory. Jordan emphasized avoiding the word "repeat," advice that resonated with Hurts and the organization.

On the first day of training camp, Eagles personnel, including coach Nick Sirianni, Hurts, general manager Howie Roseman, and offensive lineman Jordan Mailata, firmly stated that "repeat" is not part of their vocabulary for the upcoming season. Mailata declared, "We’re not defending nothing... We’re the 2024 world champs, that’s it." Hurts explained their approach is to view the new season as a "blank canvas" and focus on "resetting," not dwelling on the past championship.

Hurts demonstrated this mindset by not wearing his Super Bowl ring during the team's recent ring ceremony photos, simply holding the box instead. He stated, "I’ve moved on to the new year," though he acknowledged the ceremony allowed him to appreciate the win "one last time." This contrasted with the fans celebrating at training camp, who were adorned in Super Bowl gear and posing next to a giant replica ring.

The Eagles are actively working to avoid a "Super Bowl hangover," banning the word "repeat" as part of their strategy to potentially win another championship. Players emphasized concepts like "chemistry," "culture," and reiterated their "tough, detailed, together" mantra from the previous season.
