Guess whose back with a lot of F-Bombs?
Anyway, my last post was a hardcore hype article on the orange and black. It was only natural that right after i pressed that publish button they had their winning streak snapped and lost a couple of games. This is a perfect example, by the way, of why i am so superstitious. So I'm going to refer back to this the next time I make a ridiculous statement regarding knocking on wood and the outcome of a game. But, Overall the Flyers are still playing good hockey, we're just not as scorching hot. Last night was a big "fuck Canadians your only good for your beer" win. Its important to not let the Montrealians... Montrealites... Montre... whatever, those who live in Montreal, get an edge over us. They are a talented team and are way better than the squad we beat in the Eastern Conference Finals last year. Carey Price is finally living up to his Canadian borne nickname of Jesus Christ--Holy shit do they take hockey seriously up north--and the possible scrutiny he faced after the Habs traded away playoff hero Jaroslav Halak. But the main reason this is a big win? I hate seeing that little fucking twerp PK Subban look so smug. This guy reminds me of the neighborhood kid that's 5 years younger than everyone else but just wont shut up about how good he is and how much he wants to play with the older kids. We get it. Your young, evergetic and just a pain in the ass. Take a lesson from Richie and talk with your play not your overly rambunctious mouth.
In other news that makes me absolutely giddy, the Miami Heat are 8-6 and got blown out by the Indiana Pacers last night. HA. doesn't that just sound awesome? And you know what Lebron's brilliant insight to the situation? "we're not having fun right now." HA. This isn't your high school basketball team Lebron. You can't just meet up with two good friends who are talented and "fun" your way to an NBA championship. Seriously I know this guy is only 25 years old but he really hasn't matured past fucking high school. The only good thing is now ESPN's Heat Index is even more of a joke than ever. I give it a month before they rename the page "heat panic meter" and start pointing out their mistakes like they hadn't spent the last 5 months hyping this team. Goddamn it ESPN I'm sick of your analysis.
The final tidbit is a shout out to the spectrum. As I type this sentence they are setting up a wrecking ball in South Philadelphia to take down one of the cities most historic buildings (Fuck you Independence Hall). I really only went to Phantoms games at the stadium and saw some other events but it was always cool being there. Favorite memory would have to be seeing the John Stevens and the Phantoms win the Calder Cup in 1996, which is minuscule on the scale of all time Spectrum moments but too a seven year old kid it was unbelievable.
We will miss you Spectrum, i'm sure your way better suited as a motel and parking garage. Although The stadiums are gonna be a lot more fun in a few years.
Fuck Hoodrats being allowed in your house, Love Philly

Weekend Recap: Iggles take over first place, Flyers win in shootout, Denzel Washington is EVERYWHERE
They also traded forwards Pat Maroon and David Laliberte to Anaheim for former Flyer Danny Syrvet (who scored our only goal in the Winter Classic last season) and prospect Rob Bordson.
The Flyers face off against the Canadiens tonight at 7 at the Wells Fargo Center, and I'd love to see some Philly revenge for that shitty 3-0 loss last week in Montreal.
Also, did anyone else love seeing the Vikings arguing on the sideline and all around shitting the bed against the Pack? The crowd chanting "Fire Childress" in the 4th quarter was especially sad.
PHUCK NATIONAL TELEVISION FOR THE SECOND WEEK IN A ROW, LOVE PHILLY

Coy Yalladay
Halladay unanimously won the NL Cy Young today. I know most of you expected it but it's still pretty awesome. He is one of five pitches to ever win a Cy in both leagues.
Halladay went 21-10 with a 2.44 ERA and 219 strikeouts. His 21 wins were tied fot tops in the MLB. His ERA and strikeouts were a solid fifth. But perhaps what impressed me most this year was his Innings pitched (250.2), good for most, and his WHIP (1.04) which was only behind Cliff Lee and Roy Oswalt (1.00 and 1.03). He was a workhorse for the Phillies who won the most games in the league.
He will be feature>d on the cover of MLB 2K11. And with good reason. Roy pitched a perfect game against the Marlins on May 29th of this year. It was the second of the season and 20th in history. He also pitched a no-hitter against the Reds in the postseason- only the second in Major League history. Did you see his fucking ring?Pretty Badass. I didn't even know they gave out rings. I it's H2O but he's Coy Yalladay to me. At least until someone beats him next year. If they do. Oh yeah check it out. It looks legit.
Phuck Hits, Love Philly

Sports Reporting: Or the Search for Someone With a Brain
There are only two things as dumb as your average sports center anchor: Barney Gumble and my cat whose main source of entertainment is chasing his tail all day.
Now it’s probably not fair to be so cruel to the sports media- after all, they represent the most laid back form of journalism- however they just make it way too easy. I mean with names like Hannah Storm, Skip Bayless and Scott Van Pelt, I’m not sure if they're superheroes, porn stars, or anchors. Apparently it’s a thin line. The only analysts with normal names are the former players whose main issue is squeezing those extra fifty pounds they gained after retirement into their Versace suits. Their fight to remain relevant is more painful to watch an awkward sportsnation skit..
I understand the masculine aspect of sports, but the in-your-face epicness of the Sportscenter intro is WAY too much. It’s like a rocket ship of technology just burst through my TV screen with the movie phone guy yelling about last nights Pirates game. You don’t need to hype the highlight you’ve already shown 50 times. It’s too early. Tone it down a notch.
I cant limit my disdain to anchors and analysts. No, the announcers of the games need some attention as well. Do you ever wonder if they’re even paying attention to the game? It could be the seventh game of the World Series and they’ll be casually talking about last night’s buffet.
“Bottom of the ninth… Two outs… So Eric did you get a chance to try that bean dip earlier? FANTASTIC.”
Even if they are taking the time out of their busy schedules to talk about the game, their insight would make your grandmother cringe. “If he gets the puck to go in the net, he will eventually start scoring goals.” No shit Sherlock, I hope your enjoying your $50,000 paycheck. Not to mention they always sound like they’ve been drinking all day. If anyone has ever heard Gary “the Sarge” Matthews call a Phillies game, you know what I mean.
“Are you sure you need that third white Russian Sarge? Its only the second inning…”
But honestly nothing compares with the awkwardness of a 500 pound football coach stopping for an interview with a beautiful 20 year old blonde. It’s like watching your dad walk into a club and trying to hit on Paris Hilton. “yeah the offense was great in the first half… baby.” You couldn’t cut the awkwardness with a chainsaw.
Sadly, the only people in the sports media who actually have talent are the beat writers and columnists. But ironically their only camera time comes in news conferences when the camera is fixated on the star player. They’re lucky to get the back of their bald heads on screen for a millisecond. Then the only quotes they get are cookie-cutter clichés that I swear athletes and coaches alike memorize. I’m waiting for the day a columnist jumps over the podium and attacks Andy Reid.
“I DON’T CARE THAT YOU GUYS GAVE IT YOUR BEST EFFORT. PLEASE SAY SOMETHING ELSE!”
Maybe I was a bit unfair. My cat probably couldn’t give you the rundown of last night’s baseball scores. But I do know that he has never made a fool of himself on national television.
If only Scott Van Pelt could say as much.

Sixers WON!!, Flyers Streaking, Sims Fined, Moss Claimed

Randy Moss, Packers, and Philly Shiznit
I really still can't believe this shit! He's the biggest head case in the NFL. Bigger than T.Ocho. I don't know why the Titans picked him up. Oh yeah, because Chris Johnson, who has the biggest ego of all Running Backs wanted him. He's a plague, Moss I mean. He didn't work in Oakland, or New England, or Minnesota. He made a catering company, who went out of their way to feed the players, feel like total assholes. I don't like Brad Childress but he made the right move. Players like that don't deserve to be on a team. I hope he eats shit down in Tennessee. I have the utmost respect for Jeff Fisher but I think he made a bad move. All Randy does is complain.
On a lighter note the Packers shut out the Jets. That felt pretty good. Everyone's tongue was three inches deep in the asshole til then. Marc Sanchez- overrated. Darelle Revis- more of a peninsula now than an island. Just throw it down field and you can beat him. The Pack's offense didn't look terrific, but hell the winds were terrible. We got the Cowboys this week. I hope we romp them. I'm predicting 31-10. A-Rod I need some TD's this week. I know this is a Philly blog so I'll say a few things about our teams.
Jayson Werth is not worth it. Supposedly the Phils offered him a four year $66 Million dollar contract and he laughed at them. Scott Boras is his agent so right there you gotta know he's a butthole. I love the guy, don't get me wrong, but I'd rather be down with Brown. Werth if you go to the Yankees I won't respect you. At all. But hey you probably will.
The Flyers. What can I say. They have a league leading 17 points. Giroux is a god damn beast. Zherdev is looking like a star in the making. Briere is coming off his suspension. Pronger and Timonen look stout. Bobrovsky looks like a franchise goaltender. Let's keep this going. We got the Capitals this week. Let's show em were still the best in the east.
The Eagles are coming off their bye. Jackson might be back. He's wearing a safer helmet (why doesn't everyone?). Vick is back starting- hopefully in the form he left. My only question is their D. Kenny Britt and Kerry Collins made them look like a joke. Asante could you please try to make a tackle? Just one? For me?
Oh yeah! I play phuckyoulovephilly's own Mr. Martelli in fantasy this week. That five game win streak is over. I beat up on Tim last week and I'm gonna do the same to you. Hopefully...
Phuck Touchdowns, Love Philly

Briere Suspended, Not Participating in the World Series Sucks
Danny Briere just got suspended for three games by the NHL for that crosscheck at the end of the Islanders game. Reminds me of a quote in "Remember the Titans," where the opposing coach wants roughing called, to which the ref responds "Roughing? on the Quarterback?" Danny B will miss games versus the Carolina, and the 2 NY teams. So nothing too rough, but I guess that's one downside to being known as the Bullies.
By the way, Rick DiPietro. I respected you way more when you didn't wear pink. I bet he likes his purse right in the five hole.
FUCK MONDAYS, LOVE PHILLY
