- The Phillies blew it and blew it hard. Cliff Lee folded, Doc got zero support, Shane Victorino cares more about MMA, golf, and tweeting than taking a proper route to a fly ball, and to top it off the Big Piece made the last out yet again and did his best Brad Pitt impersonation falling helplessly to ground as his achilles ripped apart (Troy, GREAT MOVIE).
- The Eagles suck. Plain and simple. It's gotten to the point where Jason Avant, our 3rd WR has to call a players only meeting. This team has no guts. Remember the days of Brian Dawkins, Jeremiah Trotter, Hugh Douglas, Brian Westbrook??? Those were warriors, players you wanted to cheer for because you didnt get the sense that they just played for a paycheck or to get out of debt. I'll even throw McNabb into that mix. Why you ask??? You try playing 3 quarters of a football game on a broken ankle as the QB. Our current QB cant even play with a hand contusion on his NON-THROWING HAND!!!
I digress though, cuz I could go on and on about this team forever. In an attempt to cheer you up, here's 5 things to look forward to this winter until Doc toes the rubber again in April:
1) Three words- LET'S GO FLYERS!!! Brogan is Flyered up early and often this year. I love this team. Pronger is a beast (can he play middle linebacker???), Briere has tremendous flow, our goalie cant speak because hes too busy stopping pucks, JAGR, and Richards and Carter are gone from Old City/Sea Isle forever (air pounds all around for the fellas, especially for Scotty Hartnell).
2) Tim the "ToolMan" Taylor is back on prime time. Everyone needs to watch Last Man Standing on ABC. Think Home Improvement, but instead of Zachary Ty Bryan and JTT (nope, didnt even have to google that), we get 3 daughters. And 2 of them are straight SMOKE (the other is too young for me, but perfect for your 14 year old son coming into his element). Even the wife is an upgrade from Jill Taylor. All around perfect comedy sitcom. Cant wait for the inevitable Al Borland cameo. Check it out!
3) Season 2 of WORKAHOLICS. I have much love for Always Sunny, but this show blows it out of the water. When you throw 3 degenerates into a telemarketing job, equip them with a giant bear jacket, curiously hot boss, their own 3 bedroom house, and a cameo from Mark Summers of Double Dare, you have the recipe for comedic gold. Its on every Tuesday at 10:30pm after Tosh. Must See!
4) The Dark Knight Rises. Yes, I know it doesnt come out till the summer, but this is the time where we will start seeing more screenshots and trailers from probably the most anticipated movie of the century. My good friend Mr. Tierney was fortunate enough to be in Pittsburgh (screw you, we have Jagr) during filming and drove right past the BatMobile. He immediately called me and said that he was sitting in gridlock traffic bc they were filming on a closed street. Best traffic he's ever been in. This movie is gonna be ridiculous and when it hits theatres hopefully Howard will be back from the DL.
5) Finally, of course I have to plug the greatest band of all-time not named HotD- Steel Panther. Their new album "Balls Out" drops (hehehehe) on October 31st. They'll be playing the TLA in Philly on Jan 5th, and also in NYC the night before. We'll be opening up for them on the 5th...ok that was a lie, but we will be in the crowd. I'll literally be dragging Scotty away from his wife and children that night to ensure that he attends.
Bonus: We'll be at Manayunk Brew Pu, Bourbon Blue, and Alibi's in West Chester monthly starting in December. Nothing gets you through a cold winter like some piping HotD. Comin in HOT!!!
