Monday was a big day in Philadelphia as NFL free agency began. And 94 WIP host Ike Reese couldn’t contain his excitement or his insistence that when he’s correct on a topic, he’s going to take credit.
During the WIP Afternoon Show, a report surfaced linking New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Reese, a former Eagle himself, had been adamant in recent weeks that the former #2 overall selection would be inking a deal to join the team. And when the news broke, he shared his honesty about how he approaches the show.
“Listen, hold on, I gotta quit smiling from ear to ear,” he said. “Quite frankly, when I’m right about something, I’m gonna let you know I’m right about something. This was the first free agent I wanted before free agency even started! This is the dude that I wanted for this offense!”
Reese’s comments came after initially jumping out of his chair in celebration when interim host Jack Fritz announced the news. He continued by defending Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman by exclaiming “Don’t ever, ever, ever disrespect Howie Roseman! Ever! Any of you out there! When I say it’s Howie season, it’s Howie season!”
