i would like to tell a story about one of the members of the Korman Brothers Team.
Arnet "Murphy" Benson. Age 36 or so... not exactly sure, but he has grey hairs. 2 Kids. Daughter and Son. Very nice children.
About age six, so 30 years ago, while young Arnet was forced to play electric football with his older cousin: Who shall remain nameless...
I never played, but apparently in 1976 this was enough to entertain the young'ins back then.

Loads of fun...
Now a older cousin and younger cousin playing a friendly game is good stuff right?
yeah well how about for the next 4 years being forced to be the cowboys, while the older cousin is always the eagles?
Older cousin is very selfish and didnt realize the type of scarring that was done on our young lad. eventually he thought it was ok, as a young boy growing up in North Philadelphia to be a cowboys fan. Trading in his eagles logo for that stinkin' white star... he was forever lost into cowboy land. Forever unredeemable to root for a team that allegedly calls themselves america's team???
America was born in Philly. Declaration of independece , philly
Liberty bell: Philly.
(i will entertain rebuttal from people from Jamestown VA, or Plymouth MASS)
How does dallas become america's team?
Don't mess with texas? Don't mess with philly.
I mean just a little relenting, allowing young murphy to understand the pride of playing with the eagles team for once could have saved this young man a lot of punishment and scarring. Long term vision folks, long term...
So as each Dallas V. Philly NFL game approaches we try and reason with Old Murphy.
If I only had a time machine...like in quantum leap fixing the wrongs of the past...
This year was especially more exciting as the most hated former philly player returned to town
T.O. Terrell Owens. Accidental Overdose, broke up with Hot Model Fiance, Childrens book Authoer. the Bane of phila's 2005 existence returns.
Other List of most hated former philly players
1. Eric Lindros: Concussion waiting to happen, never stepped up
2. Glen Robinson: Somehow got a ring with San Antone...
3. Scott Rolen: good 3rd basemen, but never better than Mike Schmidt.
So, yesterday was an exciting game. Lito Sheppard stepped up big time, and Bledsoe coughed up the ball...
The Wager: If the cowboys won: Sam Chon Gm of Korman Brothers would wear a cowboys hat or T shirt all week
If Eagles Won: Murphy Benson would wear Eagles shirt all week... see below.
Let the fun begin at Korman Brothers.
and please pray for Murphy, he will be getting a lot of abuse this week...
(if you can't read the shirt: "I have 81 reasons why DALLAS SUCKS"
Sam
FLY EAGLES FLY!
