Phillies Fans Riot, Take Over Fire Truck, Flip A Car On Broad Street In Downtown Philadelphia
FanIQ Blog —
You know what, despite the fact that I was rooting for the Rays in the World Series, it's clear I'm an idiot. I should have always been rooting for the Phillies. Why? Riots, plain and simple.
Do you really think St. Petersburg would be going nuts if the Rays had won the World Series? Not at all.
In Philly, there's so much pent up anger from years and years of failure that with one of their major sports teams finally having won a championship, all that frustration suddenly gets turned into a destructive joy that makes for tremendous video. Like, say, hijacking a bus tremendous. ...

Walkoff Walk —
Here's what happened in Philadelphia while you were snuggled in bed with your pajama pants and teddy bear:
A Phillies fan robbed a bank in a quest to get some cold hard cash to pay for Phillies playoff gear at a Modells store. No telling whether he posed with a Red Sox hat and a Youuuuuuk sign before he left.
A drunk driver slammed into a police cruiser in Center City, sending two police officers to the hospital with neck and back ouchies. What's up, Officer Creampuffs?
The fire department extinguished a dumpster fire outside a Starbucks. Mistakenly, of course, because the ...

SPORTSbyBROOKS —

What I’m Thankful For: Yankees Fans November 27th, 2008 Posted in Media , Blogs , Internet , Philadelphia Phillies , MLB With a hat tip to poster Squire at the Phillies forum Back She Goes , I direct you to a gem of a comment from Vito of New York City posted on an ESPN Chat with Jim Callis (press Ctrl + F and search for “Vito”): Jim, I have come to the conclusion that cole hamels would look awesome in yankee pinstripes…do you think a deal involving ian kennedy and melky cabrera along with a lesser prospect like coke, would be enought to pry him away from philly? The sentiment is so ...
Pitt places celebrating students on double secret probation

Pitt places celebrating students on double secret probation The state of Pennsylvania has had many reasons to celebrate in the past few months. And celebrated they have! Wins by the Phillies and Steelers released hundreds of ordinarily calm PA residents onto the streets to share in communal joy violence over their teams' successes in recent months. The result? Ehh, for starters we had the now infamous guy getting hit in the head with a bottle ...
A Cynical, Biased and Honest Guide to Choosing an MLB Team
Sixty Feet, Six Inches —
In September we put up a guide to help those without an NHL team to cheer for pick a team to have and to hold for all eternity, or at least until they relocate. The post was nice, it had a calculated points system, and every thing you could ever want out of a guide showing you attributes that fans look for in teams. Well, real fans, as I've discussed before, Bandwagoners have no souls and therefore can't be fans. Just like your dog can't be a Cardinals fan. Seriously, I feel for Boston and New York fans, it has to be annoying to see so many idiots supporting your team.
As usual for my posts, I digress. The post was great, but it ...

Cheer up, kid. Only a few more months til Wing Bowl.
Y’know, I give those Phillies a lot of credit.
Sure, they got swept at home by the Orioles this weekend, but by god, the Phils didn’t quit. Good for them. A lotta heart, that’s what they showed. You just know their fans are proud of them for trying ...
