I used to live in Philo, IL...
Small ass town...town of 1000...famous for one thing...a place called "The Philo Tavern."
When the Bears had to play in Champaign, IL when they renovated Soldier Field...they had a preseason Monday Night Football game in Champaign and Ditka was on the call...I was 16 or 17 sitting in my room watching the game and on national TV...Ditka started raving about the prime rib sandwich at The Philo Tavern...
I was like...holy shit...
A Philo reference on ESPN is about as likely as Matt Cassel making the HOF...
