The name's Penn. As in "Pennsylvania."

William Penn keeps his back turned to Lincoln Financial Field after being called "Ben Franklin" by this week's Monday Night Football announcers.

Heh. Nice. I meant to mention that flub in my Eagles post yesterday but I forgot. That particular crew of announcers just generally bugs me, actually. They're always saying questionable or just plain inaccurate things.
Gorgeous picture. Embarassing mistake by the sportscasters.
