Sports… the Philadelphia way

Thoughts on the Sixers

Before I jump in with my thoughts on the Cardinals game, what do you guys think about the Sixers at this point in the season?

My overall impression is that, despite the current hot streak, they are still just a mediocre team that has no real shot (though take my comments with a grain of salt – mid-season, I predicted that the Phillies were too inconsistent to make it to the World Series too).

When it comes to playing teams like the Cavs, Lakers, Celtics, Spurs, Nuggest (minus Iverson) the Sixers come off as being amateur – sub-par. Incomptent.

Philly Sports Net Back In Action

How much does that suck. Life circumstances forced us to take a break from Philly Sports Net for a few months and what happens during that time?

Well, that’s how life works. I’m just thankful to have experienced it all!

We’ve added a lightning fast special teams player who will give the Eagles better field position and maybe even get us a few easy points. That same player has added depth, speed, grit and hands to the WR position on offense. This is the first year in a while that I’ve felt good about our WR core.

Phillies Pessimism

You know, it’s great that the Phillies are so capable of coming back from 7 run deficits to win in 13 innings. Really, it makes for great entertainment. I couldn’t have asked for a better game, from the perspective of a fan seeking a thrill.
