Eagles Charity Basketball Game

In a time where Eagles fans are preparing for the draft, watching Banner destroy the city's budget, and hoping to see light at the end of the Sheldon Brown tunnel, I thought I'd give everyone a nice feel-good story...

During the offseason, the Eagles will play charity basketball games to raise money for the American Cancer Society Relay For Life.  Since my wife works for a company that helped organize a game in our hometown of Pottstown, she was able to get us a few tickets. I honestly went to the game thinking that I'd see a bunch of backups, maybe get a few autographs, and get home in time just to catch the end of Hell's Kitchen. Boy was I wrong... 

Starters like Stewart Bradley, Brent Celek, Quintin Demps, and even the new Fullback Leonard Weaver showed up to shoot some hoops. Also, we saw Mr. Kendra Wilkinson, King Dunlap, Omar Gaither, and Jason Avant.

Weaver (above) was, by far, the coolest guy there. I thanked him for coming to Philly and he was really grateful to be here. The guy trully emodies what it means to be a class act in the NFL.

The players really played it up for the kids. Everybody there had a really great time.

 Plus, King Dunlap is a beast... Dunk. I just thought I'd share this with everyone. Go Birds!
