Reply #41: You're talking to someone from CLEVELAND about Philly's "sports woes"?

[HughBeaumont]

The Phillies won the World Series last year. This is the world's most microscopic tear being shed for their plight.

Maybe the Eagles fans can cry me a river and tell it to someone who's NOT from a city that hasn't won a title in any sport since the year the Beatles rocked Ed Sullivan.

I'd be happy for just ONE. Just ONE title. In something. ANYTHING.

We have the best record and player in the NBA. Doesn't matter. Just ask the Indians, who had all-stars in nearly every position in the mid-90s. Gave Atlanta their only title in anything because of no starting pitching. Still got beat in 1997 by a five-years-young franchise with overrated pitching that they should have blown out of the water because they all of a sudden couldn't close a game to save their lives.

Just ask the Browns, who continually got bested by John Fucking Elway. Every. Single. YEAR.

The Cavs, by some miracle could have Amare Stoudemire and Carlos Boozer on the frontcourt, have a 74-6 record in the regular season. Wouldn't matter. There will always be some way we'd blow it. Some missing element, a couple of bad games by a few players, shots somehow wouldn't fall, there'd be some goddamned team from the Dumbshine State that'll play better than us.

We're truly and infamously CURSED. And let me tell you, it's getting goddamned TIRESOME.
