(It also got me thinking that if Derek Jeter played for any other team but the Yankees, ESPN would […]
Here is my pitch for a city-wide slogan regarding the Philadelphia sports teams: Philly sports, where the hope is plentiful, but the pain and suffering is endless.

In what bordered disaster early, the Sixers rebounded in the most momentous way possible. An overtime win punctuated by a Joel Embiid wing three with less than a second remaining to take a 3-0 series lead. Finally, the Sixers were on the other side of a blown double lead in the playoffs. A few of […]
Early in the 4th quarter of Game 2 against the Toronto Raptors, the script seemed to be set for a horror show: Another 4th quarter collapse that was going to give the game away and swing all the momentum back to the Raptors after being dominated by the Sixers for 7 quarters. But then the […]
“I fucking hate this place.” After three errors a and a few sarcastic cheers later, Alec Bohm found himself disgruntled with his current situation as a Phillie.After he sparked an eight inning comeback and gave an emotional apology post-game, Bohm has never been more connected to Philly sports fans.
