Last week was special for the Philadelphia Eagles. The organization, its players, alumni and fans celebrated the franchise’s first Super Bowl title with a victory parade.
Unfortunately though, it also produced a situation that former Eagles fullback and Sports Radio WIP midday host Jon Ritchie would like to forget. Ritchie was arrested Friday morning for DUI, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person. He was released without bail, and has a court date on March 14.
Ritchie was off the air on Friday. Former Eagles offensive lineman Tra Thomas co-hosted alongside Joe Decamara.
