I rep the silver and white of the Eagles of Philly forever but these two men are proof positive that while the self-promotors get all the ink, back atcha Rob, the good guys will always rise to the top.

At the same time, it irritates me to no end that it took Art eight years while the likes of Michael Irvin got in so much faster. It's a shame because it sends the message that if you're not a shameless self promoter you have to wait in line. We beef with T.O. and Ocho Cinco for doing what they do, and then we make great men like Art wait to get their just due.
