  1. If you're a Philadelphia sports fan, your anger should be directed at Wells Fargo centre and at both tenants. The 76ers should have won one or two titles by now with the roster they amassed and the dominance of Embiid. They ain't done shit. And if I had five minutes with the Flyers front office, they'd lock me up and throw away the key. I hate every single person who ruined them after 2010. My only solace is that Hextall went out to Pittsburgh and ruined them, too. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk
  2. And spare me the "I'm pissed they went two straight years with nothing to show for it." Atlanta Braves in the 1990s: Lost 1991 World Series in 7 games, the sixth and seventh games in extra innings. Lost 1992 World Series in 6 games. Lost 1993 NLCS in 6 games. Won 1995 World Series. Lost 1996 World Series in six games. Lost 1997 NLCS in six games. Lost 1998 NLCS in six games. Lost 1999 World Series, swept. Imagine the pink slime of atomic ass hurt you'd have witnessed coming from Atlanta had 1995 not happened. To follow that up, there was an additional 12 years of first round exists. Now imagine being an Orioles fan or a Pirates fan. Still mad? Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk
  3. I don't get this "I won't be watching" shit. You're hurt, I get it, but get the fuck over it. The 40 men who just lost a shot at money and glory are likely going to sulk about it for a day or two and then take a vacation and it happened to THEM. 162 game season with maybe 20 days off during that time. Only 7 teams (which I maintain is too many) per league get in. Only two can win pennants. Phillies were picked by almost nobody to win the pennant, they destroyed the absolute best team in baseball by shutting down a historical offense, and then went seven games against a team who just had a little bit more left. They didn't hurt you. They played with house money and almost hit the jackpot again. I promise you you're not hurting any more than Orioles fans were the day after they got bounced. Get past it. And watch the damned World Series so they think it works and don't tinker with baseball any further. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk
  4. The only constant in the last five years has been the Astros and even that crashed out this year. I think their championship window is closing. The Braves, Phillies, Dodgers, Rangers, Orioles, are all within championship windows. Each team has a need that must be filled to see it through, but these clubs, maybe the Phillies to a smaller degree, should be who define the next decade of baseball. The Mets will be in this scenario within a few years once they launder enough cash to buy every player available. I can't see the Diamondbacks being capable of keeping Mr. Carroll into his next contract. They are a shock entrant and I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were fourth in the NL West next season.

  5. Are you really crying about ratings because your team lost? Give me a break. A Phillies - Rangers World Series wasn't about to set Nielsen on fire, either. There are about five ballclubs people watch in this country: Yankees Dodgers Cardinals Red Sox Braves You get any of those five clubs in the fall classic and it sells. Even if they're playing the Rockies or the Rays. The Astros may get heel heat viewership but my guess is people are past that anger enough to where they no longer care. Aside from that, you may get one good game of viewership in a shock World Series like you got in 2015 with the Royals vs Mets, but that's it. Ain't nobody outside of Arlington, Glendale, and fanatics watching this series, and it wouldn't have been any different if the Phillies had advanced.

  6. Allar sucks but are you going to deny he doesn't have a sieve in front of him and wideouts who arent D1 level? He could have had Allen Robinson out there but with no time to plant his feet and throw, he's not Trace McSorley, he's not going to run and heave a pass up there hoping Our Lady of Crazy Ass Plays is watching down on him, he ain't gonna hit anything. Still, he stinks and I don't like him. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk

  9. Northern PA is beautiful, but holy Christ, that drive up 219 to Buffalo, from Ridgway to Ellicottville is one of the most depressing drives. It's one broken down, dilapidated settlement and one horse town after another. The poor folks were left behind by progress and across the NY line, they were left behind by the white devil, but goddamn. You make that drive on a cloudy day and you may want to stop and blow the brains out of the back of your head. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk
  10. That stadium is in the middle of absolute nowhere. I drove past Orchard Park up 219 on a trip to the falls two years ago. On the Friday we went through, you could never know there was an NFL stadium anywhere within a hundred miles. We left the falls and headed home just as the Bills were stomping a mud hole in the Washington Football Team's ass and walking it dry. We went through the same part of 219 just after the game ended. Even with event parking enforcement, you still could barely tell anything was going on. Detoured into Hamburg looking for food because New York must have a law where they done have highway guide signs telling you where food may live, and Hamburg is a gorgeous town. That entire area is incredible. Until you get past Ellicottville and it's a total shit hole all the way until Ridgway. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk
  11. Presque Isle State Park is perfect. It's immaculate for whatever you are wanting to do. Great for biking, hiking, sightseeing, especially the houses on the bay, and the beaches are spectacular. Beach #11 is supposedly their most popular, but I went there and it's so incredibly shallow that if you're bigger than four, you're basically standing in a glaciated mud puddle, but beach #6, just about 4-5 miles down there is perfect. You park behind the dunes, walk through a very brief wooded area onto a big, well maintained and groomed beach. You're never going to be sitting on top of others, so you have plenty of room for privacy, the swimming area is pretty large, there's a deep part, it's plenty guarded, and there's a concession stand/souvenir store built into the restroom facility. Downsides: Some stupid rules. No objects in the lake. First time I went, it was with two friends, we took a football. Verboten. I can understand not allowing a blow-up raft to prevent some smartass from trying to paddle to Kitchener, but seriously? A football is banned? I wanted to suplex the lifeguard. People from Ohio go there. People from New York go there. The nearest cell tower is in... Kitchener. So Verizon thinks you're about to use international rates. But it's worth the trip. Erie in general is worth the trip. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk
  12. Are you there? Jump in, you coward. Beach #6 at Presque Isle is the best non-Atlantic beach on the planet. I'll fight anyone who disagrees. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk

  15. My 20-month-old got my retard strength and I wanted to dress him up as Bam Bam but was afraid of the cold. He's going to be Scooby Doo instead and wear a ten pound dog suit. I wish my brain worked as well as my arms. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk
  16. Blizz relied on the Euro to bring Philadelphia a pennant tonight and got der iKon instead. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk
  17. You hope USC shitcans they coach and he decides to take his used car salesman shtick to LA. Dude sucks. Problem is, who do you get that's better? Penn State isn't going to go outside the program again after this fails. Manny Diaz has failed as a HC. So what's that leave you with? Coach Lavar? Bring in a warm body and hope someone like Paul Pusluszny decides to give it a shot? "Not the guy" has won a Rose Bowl, a Fiesta Bowl, a Cotton Bowl, and a conference championship. State ain't getting anybody who can make that jump. *Coach Prime has entered the chat* Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk
  18. Why did I think you were older than that? Open the roof, you cowards. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk
  19. Up this way I think it was much better than last year. I may be wrong, but I don't remember it being so vivid last time around. I didn't get up to Skybridge to leaf peep this year, though. Maybe I'll make it up in February to see if 30 inches of snow is enough to keep you alive after a 300 foot fall. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk

  22. FIG reporting 33. Felt colder than that here and I'm probably a good bit higher in elevation so it may have been below freezing here. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk
