The Best of Year 1
So today’s the 1st birthday of Philly Sports Chat. It’s been a fun year and we’ve met some cool people along the way. So much has happened in the world of Philly sports over the past year. Here is my favorite post/moment from every pro team we write about. Click on the name of the post to read it:
Phillies: A Poem For the Spankees (October 28th, 2009)
By the end of October, the Phillies were in the heat of their 2nd World Series in a row. The Yankees, their fans and the New York media had been trashing Philadelphia for days. There were even some places dissing Harry Kalas. It made our hatred for the Yankees grow to a whole new level and it inspired Matt to throw together this epic rap dissing them. Read it!
Eagles: Do You Love DeSean As Much As He Loves Himself (video)? (November 17th, 2009)
This post stood out to me even through all the other big moments that happened to the Birds the past year (like signing Vick). The video clip included in the post never get’s old. It’s a clip that first aired on ESPN in November. It’s basically 2 minutes of DeSean Jackson explaining to the world why he’s the man and why he can’t be stopped. Check it out if you missed it.
Sixers: Tonight’s the Night and It Was Fun While It Lasted (December 2009 - March 2010)
The biggest thing to happen to the Sixers in the existance of this blog was the coming and going of Allen Iverson. In December, we welcomed him to Philly with a post on the day of his first game and in March we said goodbye after 25 games. It was very exciting while it lasted and basically the only time the Sixers made serious news in the past year.
Flyers: From Underachievers to Overacheivers: Great Run Flyers (June 10th, 2010)
This post was a recap of the greatest Flyers season in quite some time which is why it gets the nod as favorite Flyers post of the season. There were posts that were more entertaining but we couldn’t leave out a post about the Flyers coming 2 wins shy of being Stanley Cup Champions. One post that came close for me was this post full of inspirational Flyers videos that we put together right before game 6.
That’s a look back at the last year in Philly sports. Thanks for all your support over the past year. It’s been fun. Also, don’t forget to contact us if you have any comments or reccomendations at phillysportschat@yahoo.com
