    Apples and oranges, Fixer. The sixers have won titles, did win titles. 4 generations passed without a WS here in Boston, and were painfully denied time and again. AI was a super-talented player, don't get me wrong. But you cant compare the two.

    yeah, you're right. my point is that philly has the right to hope the guy fails. In fact, I'm probably in the minority. there were a lot of people that were excited when he came back for a 2nd tour of duty (this guy was NOT one of them).

    I will cheer him when his number gets retired here. He gave us a lot of good memories. He also screwed up a lot during his time here...especially the way he left the first time. he was pretty much a scumbag...that's all I'm saying

    No, you're right. I hated hearing about the Sawx bullshit long before then. Cause...ya know....all those fucking NBA titles and Super Bowls(well, more recently).

    My point is city's that win in one major sport shouldn't bitch about another sport as if they're so starved - ie SF Giants, Cubs, Sawx, etc.

    Only city I can think of off the top of my head that has a legit reason to bitch is Cleveland.

    I agree with this too. Which is why I was heavily rooting for the yanks in the 2004 ALCS. I enjoyed watching the red sox fans season end in misery every year. cubs too. this was during a time in my life when I had NEVER seen a philly team win a title, so I was bitter.

    i don't know how you put Randy Moss in the hof, if Chris Carter isn't in it.

    if you don't think chris carter will not be in the hall of fame within the next few years you've completely lost your mind. just because you're not a first ballot hof'er doesn't mean you won't get in.

    i'm not going to get into the whole first ballot hof'er vs. second ballot etc. he deserves to be in the hof and should have already recieved the call.

    Yeah, but I rooted for the Sawx that year only because I didn't think their fans could be any worse than Yankees fans. But I was wayyyy off. I can't believe I rooted for the Giants against the Pats either. That how bad I thought the obnoxiousness would get if NE won that game. 18-0? We would've never heard the end of it.

    That's why I love you Philly fans. You always reserve the right to hate people. That's what you guys do best, hate on people. I love it, personally.

    Maybe I'm a little biased Jearl, and I see your point about a city bitching about one sport when titles are won in another sport, but the Red Sox are a different bird (Dee Reynolds) altogether compared to the other Boston sports.

    I was the only non-yankee fan in philly that didn't want boston to win that series. I was pulling for the pats in that SB. My dad is a big giants fan...absolutely brutal

    you were one of those rooting for the giants? i'd take 18-0 from an afc team verses a team from our own division winning one before andy did. that hurts way more imo.

    Hate...loathe...whatever. It's easy to conjur up when your city doesn't win anything forever and gets pegged for something their not. But, hey, let's hear more about the love stories of Boston, or Chicago, yada yada yada...ya know, cause it's so charming. Perfect example is the stereotype that has been easily perpetuated by the national media regarding someone like McNabb(took him for granted, blah blah blah), yet now that he makes these same shitty mistakes in another city, now it's the coach's(2 time Super Bowl Champion mind you) fault. It really is great.

    FF, I've heard the droning about the Sawx being the baby dolls. Yeah, I get it, you guys invented baseball and suffered forever. I get it.

    Seriously... although it was only one day... I had a week last year but did have PJ shows to take my mind off of it (at least I thought until they brought in the lady with the scores :x )

    Sorry, fellas. After that 2004 World Series, you're kidding yourselves if you thought that the Boston bandwagon would've stopped there if the 2007 Pats won the Super Bowl. Never....would hear....the end of it. I'm tellin ya. These people would have thought they were all Superman. I wouldn't be surprised if they won if people thought they could fly.

    BUT, I got over it all by the Phils winning it all 8 months later.
