ESPN used to show quite a bit of the MILL back in the 90s.  Wings were on a few times and I'd be hanging out in my barracks room watching them.  I'm not even a lax "fan" but I do enjoy watching it from time to time. 

No surprise that Havas isn't a fan but I'm honestly shocked that he doesn't at least know who they are.  Thought he was on the up and up on all things Philly.   

ive heard of them and i knew they were a white guys wet dream but i didnt know if they were lacrosse or indoor soccer

check out the next week in philly sports

sixers play a ridiculous 5 games in 7 days...included in there is miami boston atlanta and brooklyn (plus miami next wed again) orlando is the one dog mixed in....a dog they just got pissed on by at home

flyers play 4 games in 6 days against the rangers penguins boston and buffalo

This would be exciting if the 6ers were good or if I cared about hockey. Plus side is that I guess the Sixers could get beaten into submission and by this time next week they've completely given up.

flyers on nbcs and sixers on tnt tonight....probably the two best hd broadcasts on tv

[ice grillin you]

jeff carter second in the nhl in goals
james van reemsdyke fourth in the nhl in goals
daniel carcillo game winner with under a minute left to extend chicagos win streak
nikky vuci another 20 20 game

MOCK

cavs
timberwolves
raptors

all win last night

orlando and charlotte could have helped....magic lost by 2 to the heat and charlotte lost to the lakers by 6 after being up by 25 and getting outscored a ridiculous 33-9 in the fourth quarter

sixers are three losses away from having the 3rd most ping pong balls with a ridiculously hard schedule the rest of the month....one of their easy games is sunday when they travel to face the fighting vuceviches

flyers are five pts out for the worst record in the nhl

[ice grillin you]

sixers four games back of the 3rd pick pong balls

flyers three pts back of the number one pick pong balls

[ice grillin you]

only two teams are below the flyers in the nhl - four pts out of overall last place


sixers 4.5 games back of the 3rd pick

[Munson]

So the IronPigs have put a video game in their urinals....

[QB Eagles]

Maybe I'm missing someone here, but I think AI is the only Hall of Famer or obvious future inductee to play his most productive years in Philly since Reggie White left for Green Bay 20 years ago. That is pathetic in a city with four sports.

And I'm sure some would argue that even Iverson isn't an obvious Hall of Famer. They are wrong.

I think Moses Malone put in one washed up year on the Sixers after Reggie left, so you can count that if you want. [Also, no, Dawk is not an obvious Hall of Famer, though I think his odds are decent.]

[QB Eagles]

Some examples of guys I'm not counting:

Not obvious inductees: Dawk, Lindros, McNabb (lol)
Not best years in Philly: Jagr, Pedro Martinez, Art Monk
Both (arguably): Schilling

Isn't it about time for another unquestionable superstar in this town?

why do you think i go so crazy for the flyers and sixers to lose out

the sixers have actually won six of their last nine games....many against horrible teams they should be falling behind....its sickening

[ice grillin you]

today is the first time since 1890 three philly teams have played three new york teams on the same day
