Another NFL PR job opening. The Eagles do a good job, one of the best in the NFL.

 

Philly's PR staff is the best in the NFL. I'd put Houston a relatively close second.

 

Man, I'm a Giants fan and I would love to land this job. (Plus moving to Philly would be fun)

Good luck to those who apply.
