The Curse of William P(alin)enn
Friday, October 24th, 2008I’m sure that every true Philly sports fan out there knows about the Curse of William Penn and its supposed effect on Philadelphia sports teams. For those of you who don’t, allow me to explain: In March of 1987, the construction of One Liberty Place was complete, marking the tallest addition to the Philadelphia [...]
Rocky, Time to go? or Timeless Classic?
Monday, June 9th, 2008As many of our readers know, I being based on the west coast, have a unique perspective when it comes to my beloved home town and personal Mecca of sport Philadelphia. I hate the phanatic, I’m not a big fan of Whiz, (provolone, cmon), I think Eaton is better than Myers, and I have a certain [...]
John Stevens Gives It To You Raw, And You Like It
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008John Stevens gets a lot of shit in this town for being mild-mannered and soft-spoken. But give him this: in an era when evasion, deception, or outright stonewalling of the media has become common practice, at least he tells it the way it is. Here he responds to a question from Rich Hoffman [...]
These Playoff Beards Are, Um, Shaved
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008If we’re going to be wallowing in an 0-2 hole, we might as well have something nice to look at. For the past few years the boys over at WMMR have been collecting “Philly’s Hottest Flyers fans.” Personally, I wouldn’t mind taking a cross-check from Melinda.
Who’s your favorite? [warning: NSFW after [...]

They Got it.
Friday, May 9th, 2008Sad news today from the 700 level …it seems some slimy mulleted pissburgers snuck some dirty penguins gear on our favorite Rocky III prop. It’s just like pissburgers to use a 3.99 walmart penguins shirt and a 2.99 cindy t-shirt jersey to try and defile our statue. It’s a shame Pissburg doesn’t have [...]
Homer
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008As far as the general managers go in this town the tops of the class has to be Paul Holmgren. Rich Hoffman has a pretty nice piece that shows how the attitude of this Flyer team right now starts at the top. I love this quote, and its the perfect mindset to put [...]
