Seriously, how many 84-year-olds do you think will be in attendance on Sunday in Philadelphia at the NFC Championship game?
Well, one is planning on it, one Joe Jackson Gibbs.
That’s right, Coach Joe, now 84 years of age, told “Grant & Danny” of 106.7 The Fan in Washington on Wednesday that he plans to be at the game. Closing their interaction together, Grant Paulsen asked, “Will you be at the game, or are you gonna be on the couch? How you gonna watch it?”
“No, I’m gonna go to the game,” replied Gibbs.
Paulsen immediately clapped, responding, “Oh, let’s go!”
“That’s my plan, let’s go, here we go!” said Gibbs.
Joe Gibbs will be in the house, in Philly, for the Commanders and Eagles in the Championship game, ” closed Paulsen.

Earlier in the conversation, Gibbs offered praise, saying he had been down on the field before Saturday’s Detroit playoff game. He expressed that he had told Josh Harris and David Blitzer that they were doing a tremendous job getting things turned around quickly.
He also spoke highly of GM Adam Peters and HC Dan Quinn. He declared to get this far in only one season, “all of us really respect it. I think it is great and fantastic for all the fans there. It’s great for all of us to be a part of it. I just think it’s a special time.”
“It is so hard to do and they’ve done it. So they deserve the credit, man, I got to tell you…It has a lot to do with the people you select, the people on the team, and the character they have.”
Quinn, from day one, has spoken of the character of Jayden Daniels, Mike Sainristil, Terry McLaurin, Bobby Wagner, Tyler Biadasz, and Zach Ertz.
If anyone would know about the importance of character, it is Coach Joe.
