Kempis Songster was released last month after more than 30 years in prison for a murder he committed as a teenager.
Now, hes going to the Super Bowl, courtesy of Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins.
As the Eagles nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, Jenkins was allotted two tickets to the Super Bowl to give to anyone he wanted, said his spokeswoman, Kristi Roehm. Jenkins chose Songster and is paying the travel and hotel expenses in Minneapolis for Songster and his fiancée, said Dan Levy, community relations manager for the Eagles.

I hope Tom Brady torches his dumb ass for a few touchdowns during the Superbowl. He couldn’t have found a young Philly fan fighting cancer or some life threatening illness? His choice of a convicted murderer says all that needs to be said about the NFL.
Perhaps those two were cell “mates” at one time, they both served time.
The Oilers are gone? You know, now that you mention it, I don’t recall hearing their name recently. I figured they were in the basement.
Or even some guy wrongfully convicted and then freed after 20 or 30 years.
I sure would hate to have the seat directly in front of the guy.
Punks do, what punks do!
‘The NFL needs to bankrupt and directly into the ash bin of history.’
no, it needs to rid itself of feral animals...but it will never do that because by some freak of nature these creatures can run faster and jump higher...
I’m not sure which is worse, the fact that Jenkins is sending a convicted murderer to the SB on his dime, or the fact that he was nominated by the Eagles for the Walter Payton “Man of the Year”. Thought this award was for doing good for the community, not helping thugs, mugs and other hangers-on.
Oh, well, hopefully Gronkowski, Amendola and a few other Patriot receivers will give this bozo a lesson or three in Minneapolis!
You dont even have to look for them. They shove them right in our faces.
The nfl can wither and die.
They’re the Tennessee Titans now. Oilers didn’t fit with the image of TN.
There was annoyance here in Nashville that they didn’t put the city name in the team. It was a compromise that was supposed to salve the butthurt that Memphis had because they were going after an NFL team before our city did and to “include” them and the whole state, but they’ve still never gotten over it.
And my right not to watch now or ever again.
