Eagles Honor Greatest Philadelphians; What, No Milton?

Dunkin Donuts -- the official coffee of the Eagles™ -- released its list of the 75 Greatest Living Philadelphians. This is done in conjunction with the Philadelphia Eagles, who are celebrating their 75th year. Why the Eagles and DD are honoring great Philadelphians, I do not know, but, hey, whatevs.

As expected, the list does not include me or Ira Einhorn. It does, however, include our own bloodthirsty district attorney, Lynne Abraham! Congratulations, Lynne!

But the most deserving member on the list is most certainly RED KLOTZ. Klotz, if you didn't know, is the coach of the New York Nationals, the team that plays (and loses to) the Harlem Globetrotters every game. Formerly, he coached the Washington Generals, the previous team to hold that honor. Red, you're a better ambassador to Philadelphia than I or Lynne Abraham could ever hope to be. And, really, since you coach a basketball team that loses every game, you fit in with Philadelphia perfectly.

Other notable names on the list: The Dunph, Ron Jaworski, Sonny Hill, David L. Cohen, the guy who runs the Narberth Basketball League (Dan Kazanicka), Len Law (awesome name #1), William J. Marrazzo (the much-loved WHYY President), Mary Mason, Erin McCool (awesome name #2), Larry Mendte, U.S. Rep Patrick Murphy, Q102's Diego Ramos (!), Dawn Staley and Judy Wicks. Oh, this list is getting better and better the more I read it.

Full release and list after the jump.
