NBC SPORTS PHILADELPHIA's Enrico Campitelli noted the Eagles Pro Shop at Lincoln Financial Field is "somewhat lacking" in Super Bowl-specific gear. They "didn't have any of the Super Bowl shirseys," but fans could "get a jersey with the patch." The shop was also lacking "some Super Bowl logo swag: like koozies or pint glasses or anything beer-related." All it really had were "pins and flags with SB LII logos on them." Campitelli: "There was one or two solid SB t-shirts but none that made me want to purchase them" (NBCSPORTSPHILADELPHIA.com, 1/30).
ON THE NUMBERS: In Minneapolis, Patrick Kennedy reports a multiyear partnership between Sleep Number and the NFL will see the local company "help players and athletic trainers gain better insight on how good sleep habits can translate to better performance on the field." Sleep Number "already has worked" with the Vikings and Cowboys on "sleep analytics." The league's 1,800 players will all get a "voucher for Sleep Number's new 360 Smart Bed." As part of the five-year agreement, Sleep Number will also "offer 300 vouchers each year to rookies coming into the league" (Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE, 2/1).
CREDIT SCORE: In Las Vegas, Alan Snel reported locally-based Credit One Bank is "upping its corporate presence" in the city and also "increasing its financial backing" of NASCAR driver Kyle Larson. Credit One, NASCAR's official credit card, will "become Larson's primary sponsor" for '18 and is sponsoring Larson's No. 42 Chevy for 16 races (LVSPORTSBIZ.com, 1/30).
