Philly does indeed suck

The city of Philadelphia does suck. I have actually visited Philly and the only things good about it are the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. All of the sports teams in Philly suck too, that is for sure.

There is some good news for Philly fans, though.

First of all, at least the Flyers have won two Stanley Cups. My hockey team, the Washington Capitals, have never won even one.

Second, the Phillies, although they have the most overall losses all-time and they took 97 years before they won a World Series, the Cubs have not won a World Series now for 98 years and counting.

Third, at least Philadelphia has all four major sports teams. My home city of Richmond, VA has trouble even supporting minor league teams in baseball and hockey.

Fourth and finally, the fact that Philly may end up first in homicides and be first in something is better than Richmond ending up second in the murders per 100,000 category in 1994 (160 murders, second to new Orleans). We can’t even be first in that category. Take heart. It could be much worse.

The Foolies

Dear Philadelphia Foolies:

Congrats on your 10,000 degrees of absolute suckage! And before any of you start with the ” We’ve been in the League for such a long time” speech… let’s get a few things straight:

1. Contrary to popular belief, you are NOT the oldest team in baseball or any other sport. (not that your FANS would know anything about SPORTSMANSHIP) That honor belongs to none other than the Cincinnati Red Stockings who were formed in 1869. So let’s not try to play the longevity card.
2. Perhaps only in a place such as Foolieadelphia, would people celebrate suckiness. 10,000 losses is not anything to be proud of by any stretch of the imagination, but in a town with such a losing tradition, you have to celebrate anything that comes your way.
3. J. Rollins said in January 2007, that the Foolies were the team to beat. How prophetic! The foolies are the team to beat…TEN THOUSAND TIMES!!!!!!! And all this happened in the league considered to be the weaker of the two leagues. AND, we all know that the eastern division is considered to be the weakest division in the National League.
4. The Foolies also prove the old adage, “we learn from our mistakes”. Even though Sparky Andersen spent one season as a Foolie, he turned out to be one of the winningest managers in baseball! I guess he learned what NOT to do during his one season in Foolieadelphia.

In closing, we thank you Fooliadelphia. Thanks for showing the rest of us what winning really means. Even the Chicago Cubs fans are laughing at you!

I was born and raised in Philly. I know this site gives us Philly Sports Fans a healthy way to vent our fustrations…..that’s cool. I know that true Philly Fans may get fustrated but we will always have love for our teams and Philly in general. I left Philly to join the U.S. Air Force in 1980 at the age of 17. Throughout my world travels I have always followed Philadelphia sports, and I have always cheered for Philadelphia teams. I live in Atlanta now, and I still cheer for Philadelphia teams. Yeah, it’s been 24 years since we’ve won a championship but I believe we will win one in the near future. I am well traveled and I can tell you that Philly fans (particularly Eagles Fans) are the most die hard in the country. Yeah, we have waited almost a quarter of a century for a championship, but you either keep hoping or you give up….I choose to keep hoping. The Boston Red Sox waited an awful long time for a championship, but they finally got one. As for all of you a**holes who seem to have some sort of contempt for Philly….grow the F*** up…..at the end of the day it’s just a game.

Move On
