I have not seen that. Seems like it's between Toronto and the Phils
I would think/hope they would have done that the minute he became a free agent. Yeah, they definitely had to have done that.
If it's between Toronto and Phils I gotta think we sign him. I was starting to think maybe he signs the QT and takes his chances next year in a better market is why I was bringing it up.
It's weird. What's a bad deal for him? 4 years $80 million? Tough to turn down $80 million and bet on yourself, especially being a year older and a catcher. Brutal decision as far as deciding whether to take $80 million plus goes...
Right. And if that's the case how do the Phils fuck this up? I was thinking in a regular market he'd be 5 years 100-120. So I guess he'll still get some significant coin. He's one of the only pieces they have to sell to other players.
It just sucks, it was such a stupid trade at the time. You have no choice but to re-sign him, but they're gonna fuck that up, too.
is there a universal philly feeling that one championship (NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL) would make you more euphoric than the others? what’s the pecking order? for my discordant teams, it’s always been:
MLB NFL NBA NHL

I mean everyone says it's the Eagles but I don't - and didn't buy that. 2017/2018 was great and all, but the answer is - whatever one comes first and especially after 25 years, and it can't be hockey. That's why the Phillies one felt so much more surreal and awesome than the Eagles. It was great and all, don't get me wrong, but for many reasons the Phillies parade outdid the Eagles one. But I get it, football is more popular so it probably affected more people overall. Again, I'm not so sure.
Now, when it comes to the actual game it's the Eagles Super Bowl. That is a top 10 game in history that was fucking ridiculous. Actually, maybe it's just slightly outside of the top 10 (I did this dumb exercise not long ago re: Super Bowls and I think I had it #7 or 8-ish).
But for me I'm all about any Philadelphia sports festivities, and in this order. Baseball will always be #1 to me, so glad the Phillies won first in my lifetime: 1. Phillies 1a. Eagles 3. Sixers

4. Flyers
pretty good recap. mostly agree. phils was amazing because of the 25 year wait and that team was so likeable. Eagles was a combination of their 1st, it was unexpected once Wentz got hurt and they beat the Patriots in a once in a lifetime game. Only difference is I think for me the Flyers would be far greater than the Sixers as far as parades.
Phils and Eagles are tied. I know that is a cop out but, hey....go fuck yourself. Sixers Villanova (again, go fuck yourselves)
Flyers Union Wings
the fuck are union and wings? minor league soccer?

Union is soccer MSL - had best record in regular season this year then choked in playoffs. Actually pretty cool stadium they have and a fun tailgate spot. And I hate soccer.
Wings is Lacrosse. They were pretty big in the 90s here. They went away and came back a few years ago.

Not as much flyers love - huh, would have thought they ranked higher.
Just never really cared about hockey in general.
I get it. I cared about basketball when I was a kid but haven't much cared in 20 years or so. I thinking living amongst Lakers and Kobe fans soured me.

Remember when Kobe died and everyone acted like the world was ending...then the actual world was ending via a global pandemic and no one gave a shit? Good times

Yeah....I almost was beaten down many times debating Kobe and the public idiocy during the whole Kobe Raper time.
Laker Flags.
Not sure if people who didnt live in SoCal at that time can understand. Perhaps there is a comparison of a bandwagon fuckdom an entire city got on, but saw nothing like it before and not anything close since. How many times I sat on the freeway in LA and thought it might be best for a nuke to take us all down, looking out at the sea of vehicles with Lakers flags sticking up from them. Gag.
Every other car....like this:
The love he receives is the love that is saved

Sixers flags just like that were everywhere back in the few years they were good when Iverson was here.
I mean it's the Lakers, though....in Southern California. Makes sense to me.
Also, hockey is for the nerds. Ya ever meet a strictly hockey-Flyers-only-sport-fan. Fucking weird people. (says Pearl Jam nerd on an internet forum ::pushes nerd glasses::). Hockey's fine during the playoffs, and I love Philadelphia things. So, go Flyers, go Gritty.

It was EVERYWHERE. Awful.
People who did not know anything about basketball loved Big Shot Bob and wanted Kobe to stay in their hotel.
If I could go to every game of a team throughout a playoff level season, for free, and in style...Hockey wins going away.
I like Flyers fans - bought a season ticket package a few years ago for my wife and I to enjoy and the fans were great. Very....Philly....but good hockey fans.
We are weird but I would not have called hockey fans "nerds."
Not that I care - I love sports but also music and books. For sure happy to be a nerd or dork in many ways.
When I worked there this dude would show up the moment doors opened and pace the concourse until the game. Also, think he is/was a delivery guy for Slacks in Port Richmond.
