    There will be plenty of Eagles programming to
    keep fans occupied until kickoff of the Vikings-Eagles game at 1 p.m.
    Sunday.
     
    "Good Day Philadelphia" is having a pep rally from 7-9 a.m.
    today on WTXF. KYW will sponsor a pep rally at City Hall at noon.
    At 5 tonight, viewers are invited to a Comcast SportsNet tailgate party
    with Michael Barkann.
    Two hours later, WCAU's "Unfinished Business" with Vai Sikahema,
    John Clark and Howard Eskin returns to the Loews hotel. WPVI counters with
    "The Philadelphia Eagles: Playoff Frenzy" with Gary Papa and
    Cecily Tynan.
    CN8 will air "Road to Victory" with Lou Tilley at 10:30 p.m.
    each Friday as long as the Eagles win.
    Comcast SportsNet will add a "Pre-Game Live" at noon and do its
    usual "Post-Game Live" following the game. WTXF will air its usual
    "Eagles Game Day Live" at 11 a.m. and add a postgame show after
    the game.
    Joe Buck, Cris Collinsworth, Troy Aikman and Pam Oliver will do the game
