Right after the Philadephia Eagles defeated the San Francisco 49ers for the NFC championship, Apache Junction football coach Bruce Binkley texted his mentor of 41 years. He reminded assistant special teams coach Joe Pannunzio of the dinner date they'd set up earlier in the season if the Eagles came to the Valley to play in the Super Bowl. "Absolutely!" was Pannunzio's response. This isn't just an NFL coach providing lip service to a kid he coached in Colorado in the early 1980s when Binkley was a middle school wrestler on Pannunzio's team.
