Really OT Trivia-in honor of Super Bowl

I Don't Know but if Ben Franklin Had

had his way, they probably would have been called the Philadelphia Turkeys.

Let's Make A Deal

Or at least that's what I was able to decipher from their web site.

Answer

Due to the overwhelming response to this Trivia question the answer is-- Bert bell was awarded an NFL Franchise in the 1930's. He was impressed with the Blue Eagle that was the logo used for the National Recovery Act passed early in the New Deal program created by FDR so he named the team Eagles. The act proved to be a flop, possibly a forewarning of the plight of the Philadelphia Eagles, and was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1935. By the way I am a N.Y. Giant fan who has become a fan of Tampa Bay Buccaneers since moving to Florida. Todays temp. here in Sunny St. Cloud is a reminder of New York in January.
