Jim Gardner honored by the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Our very own Jim Gardner was on the field Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field to get fans pumped up before the Philadelphia Eagles took on the New Orleans Saints.

He led the crowd at the Linc in the Eagles Fight Song!

J-I-M G-A-R-D-N-E-R! The legendary Action News anchorman leads Eagles fan in singing the team's fight song.

The Birds also gifted Jim with a no. 46 jersey, complete with his last name on the back.

The no. 46, of course, represents the number of years he spent with us here at Action News before retiring two weeks ago.

Unfortunately, the Eagles fell to the Saints 20-10.

Jim Gardner anchored his final newscast on December 21, 2022. Watch the full newscast here.
