THE BIG GAME — Playing in the Super Bowl puts a lot of pressure on players.

It's tough knowing that practically the whole country is watching what might be your career-defining game. It might be the last or only opportunity for players to ever get to hold the all-coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy.

However, this Philadelphia Eagles fan partying in New Orleans showed that being asked to spell on live TV might be the toughest pressure of all. The fan is asked to close out a Super Bowl pregame segment by leading one of the Eagles chants, which requires a spelling of the team name.

Like Peyton Manning in the Kick of Destiny, the fan fails to sink his shot.

"E-A-G-E-L — Eagles!" he says emphatically.

So close.

Look, we've all been there. Who knows if it's just bad spelling, pre-game jitters or just the result of a good time on Bourbon Street. Let's just hope — for his sake — that the Eagles have a better showing in the game.
