Bynum a fraud

Fans missing real issue with Bynum’s flamenco dancing escapades

Posted  May 1, 2013  by  Frank Ward

Whoever thought #flamencodancing would be a trending topic in the Philly sports landscape on a Wednesday morning in May? Then again, we haven’t had a character like Andrew Bynum in town since, well, never. Kid makes Allen Iverson look like a gym rat.

Hartnell down? Not yet. And, from the sounds of it, he’s not ready to go down until Sidney Crosby does first.

Hey, Chip, you wanna prove you’re one of us?

Posted  January 16, 2013  by  Frank Ward

Remember the scene in the greatest TV show of all time, HBO’s The Wire, when Bodie and Poot had to whack their boy Wallace? They had to do it to prove to Stringer that they were down with the Barksdale Crew. The scene depicted the prototypical “prove your one of us” seen in a ton [...]

Posted  January 16, 2013  by  Frank Ward

Add Dodgers sugar daddy and NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson to the roll of people in favor of Chip Kelly’s hiring by the Eagles. What a move by the Eagles to hire offensive minded coach Chip Kelly from Oregon! — Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) January 17, 2013 If Ervin is happy about this move, [...]

Dorell Wright has a bit to learn about Philly

Dorell Wright may be happy to join the Sixers, especially with Andrew Bynum on the way in and a small forward/2G spot opening up with Iggy leaving. Still, the man who averaged 10 points and four boards in Golden State last year...

Nike pisses off the Toddfather of the Eagles

You never want to get on the wrong side of The Godfather. Seems that Nike has gone a step further and upset the Eagles resident Toddfather. The shoe company has taken away the supply of shoes. S/O to @nike for cutting off our t...

Michael Schwimer? Just sign David Schwimmer instead

The Phillies should just sign David Schwimmer to help the bullpen. Yeah, that’s our reaction after watching David Schwimmer’s cousin (not really), Michael Schwimer, suck the life out of Citizen’s Bank Park one...
