SportsRadio 94WIP All-Time Eagles Fantasy Draft: Champion Is Crowned
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) --- UPDATE 1/12/15: After all the votes were tallied, the fans have selected Team Didinger as the winner of the 94WIP All-Time Eagles Fantasy Draft. In the semi-finals, Team Hofmann (67%) beat Team Reese (33%) and Team Didinger (53%) took down Team Frank (47%). In the Championship voting, Team Didinger routed Team Hofmann 68.66% to 31.34%.
--------------
On Wednesday night, Jody McDonald moderated an all-time Philadelphia Eagles draft on SportsRadio 94WIP.
Hall Of Famer Ray Didinger, the voice of the Eagles Merrill Reese, Philadelphia Daily News columnist Rich Hofmann, and 94WIP's Reuben Frank drafted the all-time Eagle greats.
The pool of players selected in the fantasy draft had to be on the field after the Eagles won the championship in 1960. That excludes guys like Steve Van Buren and Pete Pihos.
Teams should be evaluated based on players' time with the Eagles, not based on careers.
