Super Bowl champion

Tuesday February 1, 2005
Among the 75,000-plus in attendance at the Super Bowl on Sunday will be Timmy Kelly, an 11-year-old with cerebral palsy who has become something of a good luck charm for the Philadelphia Eagles. When he sings the national anthem at Eagles games, the team always wins -- so a local TV station made sure he had Super Bowl tickets, and his school started a fund-raiser to cover plane tickets and hotel costs. He's not scheduled to sing at the game, but we bet he'll be cheering pretty loudly.
