950 has really sunk in my book since it shifted to espn. who the hell wants to listen to mike and mike in the morning or van pelt and tirico in the middle of the day? i liked their old morning show with bradley and foley. i do like missenelli though--but i think jodi mac got screwed with his time slot. 9-1? that is right after rush hour and cuts out during most people's lunch break. they should've just kept the old morning show, had jodi mac do middays, and then use missenelli like they do now--right up against eskin. that would have been perfect. then just keep the same lockeroom show in the evenings.

instead they go and nationalize it. this is philadelphia. we dont give a shit about what the mariners are doing with their lineup. we care about the phils, birds, sixers and flyers for christs sake. (real philly fans anyway)

950's actually better. I'd rather listen to Mike&Mike than fucking Cataldi, and Mikey Miss is local and he's not bad. I'll still take the mid-day show over Jody Mac, but I'll switch between Howard and Miss.

Oh, and to the guy from CT. The dude's right who responded to you. I just don't think you'll ever get it because you don't live in the middle of an area that's defined by it's teams. I'm sorry, but you wont - not tryin to knock you. It's like college sports but on a much HIGHER level. This shit brings people together and breeds tradition. You are raised with the words "Dallas sucks" passed down to you. And unless you "get" our city you can't understand. Rooting for the home team is exactly that - having pride and loyalty for your HOME. And THAT is why we hate and cannot stand Philly frauds who are Dallas fans, Steeler fans, Yanks fans, Lakers, etc. etc. When WE, and I emphasize we, finally win something it'll feel like we've done it together and you'll see a parade like none other. I can't explain the feeling in this city when we're on the verge of a championship (i.e. '93 NLCS, '05 Super Bowl, '97 Stanley Cup, '01 NBA Finals). This town turns into one big family and party. And I don't think you get that in a city like New York because the city divides themselves between so many teams. Here it's 4 for 4 with one team/sport representing the city as a whole.

no man, I do get it. Rooting for the home team is the way it should be...I don't understand why people here are, say, Michigan Football fans when they are in no way associated with the college and we HAVE a Football program here in CT.Was his Dad or someone in his family from Texas (vicinity)? Maybe a transplant?
just saying....

Haha, don't worry Philly's is far from a transplant city. Sure there are a few here and there, but this town for the most part pretty much stays put. I love when people complain "I can't even take my son to a Cowboys game in Philly." - Look you know how it is here, right or wrong for the actions displayed by the fans, but don't be stupid. You know what'll happen if you go. So it's just plain stupidity. It might not be the best thing to rep our city, but I don't care I love it. The WT drunks are like the black sheep drunk uncles of your family. We can yell at them, you can't. This is our home/house and you weren't invited.

Oh, and the dude from PA who is a Dallas fan does not come from TX in any way. Supposedly he was at the '80 World Series for the Phils. Which makes it even worse.

ok...I felt like I was being lumped in with the so called "frauds" just because I am not from Texas. Not that I care too much what some dudes think about me on a message board, but didn't understand. I watch all my teams through good times and bad times. Never asked my father why he is a Cowboys fan, But he has been since at least 1972 . My grandfather (mother's side) is a Redskins fan. argh

people in states without professional teams should choose the closest team to that state...thats in the rule book

I hear you....I like all NY teams except football. ALWAYS have. I should like the Giants, but do not. I was wearing Cowboys stuff and had their banners in my room from day one. I can see how you would think how you think, though. I do too (to a lesser degree). Hell, If we had a pro football team, I would probably switch myself. Connecticut is pretty much divided for the most part between NY/BOS

I am going to guess it was that he won a lot of money betting on/against them in the 60's. haha

have you ever given thought about breaking from the dark side and becoming an eagles fan? i sense the force may be strong with you, young american psycho fan. we eagles fans DO NOT GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT RESERVATIONS. i can assure you of that.

cowboys suck. GO BIRDS!
