Markelle Fultz didn't asked to be drafted
#1
. Fultz didn't trade away a lottery pick and pass on Jayson Tatum. Fultz is 20 years old. He's played less than 300 minutes in the NBA.Give the kid a frigging chance before blaming him for everything. He's symptom, not the cause

This officer. Gave the command to comply. Blocked suspect’s gun. Fired his weapon 3x. Radioed for assistance. Pointed gun at other target without shooting him. All in 6 seconds. Hghly trained.
I’ve been the PAA for SJU men’s basketball for 14 seasons. And I will tell you Phil Martelli treated people with respect. He was dedicated to SJU and is a good man. He is also fond of the words “Thank You” & thinks we all should say them more. Well, Thank You Coach for 24 years.
Out to dinner within my wife. Witnessed a miserable bastard make a busy waitress cry in a very crowded restaurant. Overhead him saying he wasn’t tipping her. I held my tongue and decided to give her $25 extra. She was excellent to us. Be kind people.
Met my wife 28 years ago tonight. The Iguana Beach Club in Cherry Hill. $1 Bud Light night. Sang Van Morrison into her beer bottle. Got her number. 6.15.93
Just kissed her goodnight…

There’s a reason I cut the cord with cable. And now the streaming services have figured out how to get your bill back over $200. Not happening. Not buying Peacock tonight. The

with their greed and tax free status can kiss my ass. I’ll follow along on my sports apps.
Yes, people with Autism are different. They're perfectly imperfect, just like all of us, who don't face the daily challenges of simply not being able to tie your own shoes. My son Chase is on the spectrum and he is a wonderful soul.

36 years ago today, a horrible decision snuffed out what would have been a HOF career and a young life lost. 1st Euro-born goalie to be drafted in the NHL and the first to achieve success in North America. And the 2nd best goalie in Flyers history. What could have been
#RIPPelle
Off to vacation this morning. Got a flat tire off the WW Bridge On way to airport. A nice young man name Freddie pulls over , changes my tire like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. Wouldn’t take any money. Good people are what it’s all about. We made it on time. Thank you Fred!
@MdBreathe
Unreal. I had Covid 2 months ago. I added to my usual vitamin regiment, which also includes tons of vitamin C and zinc. I also used Ivermectin for 5 days. Good as new. No problems. My wife however, who is vaccinated, got Covid anyway and spent a week with serious symptoms.
This was one heart wrenching moment. For those of us who have lost their Fathers, you knew exactly where he was coming from. My dad wasn’t a President, but man he was a damn good plumber. And I miss him
George W. Bush tearfully concludes his eulogy to his father: "Through our tears, let us know the blessings of knowing and loving you, a great and noble man, the best father a son or daughter could have...Dad is hugging Robin, and holding mom's hand again."
No Morning kisses. No coffee talk. No sitting at my feet. No lunchtime walk. No dinner time desserts. No greetings at the door. And so much room at the foot of my bed tonight. I miss you so much my Maxie. I know your pain is gone but mine is overwhelming.
And for the record. Today’s Phillies tickets will be framed. It was supposed to be the first opening day with me and my 11 year old son. Instead , we wore our Phillies caps and had a catch in the back yard.

@Phillies
When you smilin', when you smilin'

And the whole world smiles with you
My son prepared for his comedy skit for his talent show but was just a bit nervous on stage l. I’ve been there before so I lended a hand. So very proud of him to pull through. He delivered !!! A great gift for Father’s Day.

Unfortunately, I was laid off today by the Philadelphia Inquirer. I thank my colleagues for 7 great years. On to the next adventure. If you’re hiring , hit me up.
Waking up to hear about the passing of my friend
@BigDaddyGraham
immediately made my heart sink to my stomach. He was one of a kind. We shared many memories together. I always looked forward to our crossovers, wondering what he’d say next. Love and miss you Big Daddy, always.
Today puts an end to 39 consecutive weeks on the NFL schedule that the
@Eagles
will not be playing or in contention. That was one hell of a run boys. STILL defending champs for two more weeks.

Whatever happens tonight
@bryceharper3
, you made the right choice. And you have 12 more years to make it happen. Right here in the best sports city in the nation.
I would like officially announce that I am retiring from fantasy sports as 8pm tonight. The wrong guy is always on your bench and you always play the team with the biggest week. No more fantasy sports. It’s over.
My brother is a respitory therapist. He’s working 12 hour days. His facility is short on supplies. They’re reusing their masks after being cleaned overnight. While some are calling out , he keeps working helping people. Stay safe bro , love you.
In 2023, I lost my job. Battled a few health issues. My
Mother and in-laws are in nursing homes. 😔But through it all , God still provided and I stand grateful tonight and wish us all a prosperous and healthy 2024!
Just had to console my very sad 10 year old. Told him - this is what sports is all about. There’s a winner and there’s a loser. And tonight : we lost. Welcome to Philadelphia sports - it’s gonna rip your heart out- but you will go back. Because that’s what we do.
Tomorrow’s Philly headlines :
Phillies sigh Harper. Flyers fire Hakstol , hire Quennville. Foles dismantles Rams. Simmons hits 3 pointer , beat Cavs.
I still believe in Santa Claus !!
It hasn’t been 24 hours since the Flyers playoff schedule was announced and the level of vitriol and hate coming from the Pittsburgh twitter base is in full swing. No one likes us. We don’t care.
#LetsGoFlyers
This is not to pile on. I’ve been watching Flyers hockey for 40 plus years , and I’ve never been so bored in my life. There’s just this faint pulse, even during their wins.
There’s significant chatter among a few folks I know who say the Flyers are going to make some big noise in the next two weeks. They’re usually right on point with their info. Interesting times ahead
Maybe I’m getting old but man I loved watching hockey with Tom Mees, Gary Thorne and even Steve Levy and Bill Pidto. When ESPN actually cared about hockey and wasn’t a steaming pile of 💩and politics.

@DhaSickest
completely typical response from a strategist who thinks his opinion should be the moral compass for everyone he doesn't agree with. please, tell us more about this danger to our freedom
Yo Nick,maybe you should ask Bryce about the Philly Sports fan handbook."Did you hear the boos?"Your answer should be:"Yes, I deserved them,I have 8 homers & I'm not producing.The fans have the right to get on you.They want to win. It's just frustrating" That's it. Drink a beer.
Wonder how many people out their criticizing Carson Wentz’s “regression” truly understand the amount of work he put in & to play at this level after such a devastating injury.People call out of work with a common cold & this dude is balling on a knee that takes 2 years to heal.
My youngest turns 10 today. He continues to remind me everyday that raising a good, respectful young man is the most important thing I do. Happy Birthday Braydon - there’s no bigger love in the world than what I have for you.
I was just notified that my recent blood donation helped save the life of a 19 year old nursing student at the University of Indianapolis. That’s the news you want to hear.

I’ve been watching mother F’ers wearing different laundry skating around with the Stanley Cup for too many goddamn years. I’m 50 and have been following the Flyers since I was a kid. This needs to happen before I kick it. It does.
With all due respect to the baseball scribes and stat guys , does anybody really give two shits about launch angle and exit velocity ? All these frigging numbers. Just play the game
7 years for Kevin Hayes ? 7 million ? Two older defenseman? Cap hell for 5 years and Fletch spent it on a drunken weekend. Ok... he made some moves , and we have to let it play out. But man , I’m having a tough time with this.
I’m sorry. Maybe I’m petty. But I extremely dislike everything about Dallas. Their helmets, the star, their attitude, their owner and most of all their fans. Especially the fake ones who live here. I don’t like any of it and I don’t care how immature it sounds. Dallas sucks!
Flyers have obtained 80.9% of their possible points over the last 21 games. Pretty amazing for a team at the bottom of the standings before this run. Has to piss you off Hextall didn’t have the sack to fire Hak.
The infield dirt in Oakland Reminds me of old Sunday late afternoon tv games. The 4 o’clock game was always on the TV as Mom was serving Sunday Macaronis or Lasgana. Cold and grey outside.
I’m rarely a bury the coach kinda guy early in the season but Hak just doesn’t resonate with me. I don’t like how he handles the young guys and I think his system slows this team down. Nothing will matter anyway if they can’t get good goaltending.
I remember as a kid, that week off from school after Christmas, staying up late watching the Flyers in Western Canada and CA. 10:30 starts ? No problem. I’m 51 now , I’ll be out by mid 2nd.
Nick Foles threw for 352 yards against the
#1
defense in the NFL. They also ran the ball, and scored 31 on them. But all you heard was Case was better than Nick.
#CaseClosed
15 years ago today I walked out of the Linc , disgusted and thinking the Eagles would never ever win the big one. Carolina and Rickey Manning beat the Birds for their 3rd straight NFC championship loss. But last year made this particular memory just a blip on the radar.

Felt like I was in a old movie. Had the radio on in the kitchen when the news of Doc came over the air. I'm crushed. As an adult I can handle the news better than I did with Pelle's when I was kid, but it still takes out your knees. RIP DOC.

@MrUram
Given his most recent lack of production , he handled that question so very poorly. He missed a rare opportunity of being in the spotlight and to speak to his detractors. “Hey it felt good. It’s nice hearing the cheers- the other stuff ? It’s part of the job” but boo hoo instead
So I am in Williamsburg,Virginia with the family. We stop into this barbecue place called Rocco’s smokehouse. Awesome food. the owner is a Pats fan. So I asked him where his SB 52 sign was? Then my sons busted out an Eagles chant. Nice !!
If the Caps win the cup, every “Patrick Division” team will have won the SC since the Flyers last win in 1975. My God, let’s go Hextall, enough is enough. Let’s go already
I can’t believe this is the same Flyers team that was lulling me to sleep a couple of months ago. There’s plenty of room for improvement and some players are playing way below their level, but the effort is there every night. And it’s much better hockey.
Ten minutes later - I’m flustered at the airport shuttle. Out of nowhere - a man puts his hand on my shoulder and asks me if he can pray for me. He said God told him I was in distress. I’m loving this world today. God is good.
It’s been a month today and I miss you even more. I often cry thinking of you not here with me. Wishing you would be at the door as I turn the key. Love and miss you my Max.
Just got home from a work event. Flipping through the channels. Miss the days of entertaining Late Night with Carson or Letterman. What a disgrace Kimmel and Colbert are. All they do spew political hate.
I got to say, I can’t stand the Caps and Washington sports, but you got to give Alex Ovechkin his due, great to see him raise that cup. He earned it. What emotion.
Celebrating the BIG 50 Today!! Thanks to all for the birthday wishes. I'll be making the same wish that I do every year: C'mon
@NHLFlyers
Win that Cup!
@RealSkipBayless
You’re embarrassing. It’s all good to have a favorite team. But you’re so blinded with your love that you make zero sense with your arguments. You’re pathetic and a disgrace to the profession. Love, PHILADELPHIA
