Philadelphia Sports: A Cry For Help

Philadelphia has a lot to cry about. I'm not talking about the fact they live in Philadelphia, I mean, of course, the 76ers, the Flyers, the Phillies and, of course, the NFL version of the Cavs... Those pathetic Eagles. I mean I love Philly sports, but if we're being realistic, the best thing we have going for us right now is the Flyers.

The Flyers, as of right now, are sixth in the league, a very strong showing. In terms of the eastern conference, they're fourth. This is pretty good for Philadelphia. We are being shown some legitimate athleticism. I mean... I don't support the Flyers, I support the Winnipeg Jets and I'm proud to say that, even though the Hockey stinks. But the Flyers are a really good product at the moment. They're three points ahead of the Penguins which is arguably just as important than winning the Cup. Besides, whenever Philly win anything (eyes on you Eagles), they become the most moronic excuses for athletes we have ever seen.

About those Eagles... There is no logical explanation for this mediocrity that is good enough for what happened. You decided to take the league by storm and beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl and then immediately, and I mean immediately, shit the bed and seemingly forget how to play Football. Don't even argue that you finished last season as the top of the NFC East because you finished with 9-7, you're just in a terrible division. Everyone else topping their divisions in the NFC finished 13-3. You just had a weak division. You're doing nothing for Philadelphia besides wasting everyone's time. It's a joke. This has not been Fly Eagles Fly, it has been Forget, Eagles Forget! It's a joke.

Now... To those Phillies... The way this all looks is a bit pathetic. For sure, I think Joe Girardi would've turned the Phillies around from essentially the depths of hell Gabe Kapler took us to, but our old friend Covid had other plans. This whole thing with Gabe Kapler, what is it? Tanking? No, you're not that bad. Is it being competitive? No. You finished at .500. I mean... You can't even beat the Mets. The only team you managed to be better than in the division is Miami... What a joke. There's more I want to say, but I need to move on to the biggest inconsistent disgrace in Philadelphia... The Sixers.

Where do I start with this travesty... Philadelphia trusted your process. How are you sixth in the Eastern Conference? You have All-Stars! This is a disgrace and if I was a season ticket holder at Wells Fargo, I'd feel ripped off. The product being produced by this team of frauds should see someone lose their job, perhaps a large portion of the front office and perhaps the search for a new Head Coach should happen, I'm not sure. But the Sixers need to sort it out before Father Time gives Joel Embiid to be injured for half the season.

Overall, Philly sports is mostly a disgrace and, as someone who supports most of Philly sports, it's something that they need to fix for the good of some of the most loyal fans in sports. Before you argue whether they have the most loyal fans or not, tell me when you've seen people support and roast their city. That's just the way it is in Philadelphia. Now for the love of sports, sort it out.

Two Months Without The NBA

It has now been two months since Adam Silver decided the NBA would go on hiatus because of the Coronavirus after Rudy Gobert was announced as the first positive test the league had. This was found out moments before the start of a game where the Utah Jazz would play the Thunder in Oklahoma City. Since then, the league has not been able to return and Adam Silver has made no comment on where or when the NBA could return to finish the season.  This man saved the NBA by doing his job. There have been a lot of rumours about when the NBA could return and where it would be held, but Shaq came to comment and essentially said, "scrap the season." This is pretty logical if you read into his comment, especially because of people like Rudy Gobert who love to treat Corona like it's some sort of joke. Who's laughing now, Rudy? You told a kid who roasted you about it to "go to school" even though schools are shut, you numb nut. Don't joke about it if you can't hand...

A New Quarterback and New Uniforms for New England.

The New England Patriots are set to release new uniforms soon. Our old friend Tom grew old of New England, so he moved to Tampa Bay to work under Bucs Head Coach, Bruce Arians. I don't know why Tom left. If I was him, I wouldn't have left the Pats. Bill Belichick, in my eyes, is a more competent coach and the Patriots are a better team for Tom. But hey, if he wants to go, he can go. Belichick and Brady These new uniforms should hopefully look amazing. They've worn the same boring crap for years with little to no change. There is something about Boston that makes them like wearing the same uniforms year after year... I mean look at the Celtics, that same colour grouping since, probably their first game in history. The Redsox are no better, but it's not often you see many major changes in MLB uniforms. The Bruins also don't make an overwhelming amount of change to their uniforms. Boston is, though, a big sports city. I don't know what the Patriots are tr...

The NBA's Donkey... Draymond Green.

Draymond Green, the three-time NBA Champion, and three-time NBA All-Star has been talking a lot lately... I mean a lot. If you follow any private and good NBA content account, you'll see that he's been talking. I mean, the man won't shut up. It doesn't help that he's had beef with Charles Barkley for a long time all the while thinking he is a gift to the world. He said last week that he "changed basketball with the help of Steph Curry"... Like, you piece of crap. The only thing you changed was the number of zeros you have in your bank account with the number of fines you got for all that crap you pulled. Get over yourself Draymond, with Klay, Steph, and KD, and Charles Barkley also said this, you wouldn't have anything in this league. It's the same... Prove me wrong. I'll give him credit, he's a great defender and he deserves to be mentioned for that... But to me... That's it. That's all he is. He is not a well-rounded play...
