Doctor Dunkenstein was Darrell Griffith not Darryl Dawkins. I agree with everything else you said though.

I had one too! It had the outdoor/rubberized texture. I think it was even kind of chocolate colored? I think my dad got it for me because it was cheap. I used to hate Darryl Dawkins since I was a huge Kareem / Lakers fan at the time (I was about 7.) But by the time I had the Chocolate Thunder basketball a few years…

If Larry Bowa isn’t the mascot for Philadelphia, what is?

If it isn’t readily apparent, basically *everyone* does exactly that.

Ideally you wait until the gym teacher isn’t paying attention.

He dove at a player’s lower body from behind while the other player was already engaged in a block. That was fucking easy. Next question.

Prejudiced against Italians. I can’t believe it, in this day in age, prejudiced against italians.

Boykin was traded to the Steelers, not cut.

It's more like rooting for syphillis.

“Every greasy cannoli-inhaling specimen from South Philly named Vito and Rocco along with the South Jersey riff raff portion of our fanbase that still crashes high school parties at the age of 32 bought up all the Riley Cooper jerseys that went on clearance at Dick’s sporting goods after he made his racist remarks.”

That would be something the Mets would do; however, as a lifelong Phillies fan, seeing Utley in a Mets uniform would make my head explode.

Seriously. Is there any chance it’s not the Dodgets but the Mets that are pulling off this trade? This has Mets written all over it. What’s that? Ryan Howard is available, too? He hit like all the home runs in 2007. GET HIM.

because no one cares?

Congrats on being intentionally obtuse. You know what I was saying.

He’s not being sued by the driver, he is being charged criminally.

As much as I would like to express sympathy for a city’s fan base that just celebrated an NBA title two months ago, three of the last five World Series titles, and five Super Bowl victories out of six tries in the last 33 years... I can’t. Boo friggin’ hoo.

The buildings don’t make the people. I live here, too, and the lack of constant regeneration of our housing stock isn’t why our city has long felt culturally stagnant. The real reason is because native Philadelphians have long been an extremely immobile population, living their lives in the same neighborhoods they…

The best part about it was they didn’t seem to realize that a Parental Warning sticker made an album more desirable to us.
