I love the old joke about PA. You have Philly to the east and Pittsburgh to the west and Mississippi and Alabama in the middle.  It's basically true 

Yup, pennsyltucky

I've been to Philly a million times i made a wrong turn once or twice and instantly regretted it but made many right turns and found some awesome food. My negative impression with Philly is all sports fan driven. Silver Linings Playbook is accurate 

Good post!

It’s  reputation is that strong I guess

It definitely is, I just wish people had a little more curiosity and would at least try to experience a place for themselves before buying into its reputation…I’ve been surprised before in my travels that a place didn’t fit a certain narrative I had built up in my head about it…as the kids say, it is what it is, not a big deal, I just found that exchange funny

(and I didn’t even mention the kicker in that exchange:”I love me some primanti brothers” lmao)

Philly is a dump

I’m not even arguing about the merits of the city. I love it but some don’t. But to hate a city without even ever having visited it to make your own judgment is hilarious. 

My favorite part:

“I hate Philly, worst town in the world”

“hey they have good food though”

“wouldn’t know, never been there”

good shit

flying out of phl next thursday morning which means this thing will most likely happen, congrats!

Not everyone has a vehicle that can traverse 8.5 inches of wet snow and need to get down their driveways.

that's a flex and i don't like it

looks like philly may get screwed, just can't catch a break this week

This has been a very pleasant game to watch. 

go birds 

thats all

Much closer game than score showed, Daniels is the real deal

When you get this far and beat the number one seed in their home you are no longer playing with house money and you should expect to win…it would be a crushing loss for the commanders and would set the team back a decade and no “I’m happy no matter what happens” fronting can change that

go birds

snow melts I’ll take the SB

wild how it's tapping into that gulf of america moisture

Can’t wait for my heart to start beating again

Anyone else taking the plunge and going to the game Sunday? Ticket prices have been dropping since yesterday and me and my buddy snagged a pair. Figured playoff game in Philly in the snow is not something that happens every day. I'm beyond hyped. Hopefully the storm and/or the game doesn't disappoint! 

on the fence

i'll go to sleep on saturday with visions of shady vs the lions dancing in my head

Didn't realize Stafford was the quarterback for Detroit during the "Snow Bowl" game at the Linc in 2013. And now he's the QB w/the Rams at the Linc with the potential for another snowy day.

His stats kinda sucked the first time w/the Lions (10-25 151yrds) Hopefully we see a repeat....

need to see when else he visited lol

That was my thought. Heavy snow would slow down what I'm scared about: Stafford throwing to Nakua and Kupp

Regardless of how you feel about the Eagles, if you like watching football, looks like a decent chance for a snow game for the 3pm sunday divisional playoff against the LA Rams. Or Philly will be on the I-95 rain/mix line and it will be a disgusting mess for everyone there, ha.

If you, like me, want them to win: snow game advantage Saquon?

I will admit it should help the eagles. But we dog walked this rams team in the middle of their “run”. When playing  team that’s clearly a level below I don’t like anything that adds variance to the equation. 

agreed, usually shitty conditions favor the weaker team, but in this case the eagles' strengths are their o-line and saquon as opposed to the passing game...snow would seem hurt the rams more...then again, it's the eagles so...

i'm in a strange? situation.  I have a funeral sunday.  Death not unexpected. close family friend in his mid 80s.

I don't want to put my thumb on the scale, but I told the new widow 1-3" is possible giving me some wiggle room.  It's graveside.  Probably 20-30 minutes tops.  But all I can envision is old ladies (like my mom) slipping and sliding in the snow walking to the gravesite.

I'm fine gutting it out, but it could be a debacle lol.  Rescheduling is not optimal.  People are coming in because MLK day makes it easier.

It's gonna be a total shitshow right?

 

hopefully people will be smart and dress appropriately--meaning footwear mostly...leather-soled dress shoes and heels will definitely be a problem

Funny story, like 5 days before eagles nfc championship vs falcons I told my dad there was a potential snowstorm for the game. I was in met. school at the time. My pop called WIP and told them, hour later Hurricane Schwartz got on the air and told them about the threat lol…. Of course it did snow, but the night before the game


.

coldest i've ever been at a game, i remember my beer freezing before i could finish it at some point in the second half
