“Eagles Win! Eagles Win! Eagles Win!”
Come Sunday afternoon, Eagles fans will hope to hear those words repeated once again by legendary broadcaster Merrill Reese.
This season is a notable one for Reese, who is celebrating his 40th season as the radio voice of the Eagles on Sportsradio 94.1 WIP. He's the longest-serving current play-by-play announcer in the league, a tenure that started with an Eagles win against the Giants way back on December 11, 1977.
Prior to that first Eagles game, Reese was doing morning sports at WWDB and working part time at WIP when he was woken up at 2 a.
