2008-09 Flyers Season Thread

[reese125]

lets be honest here--if youre a NBA basketball nut like myself you'll obviously trend to the side of basketball being more popular because you love the sport--especially when they are doing well and have a legit shot at advancing far in the playoffs

I have a biased mind and very hard time believing hockey trumps basketball (or any sports) in popularity, but I wont argue those facts either

the poor people stole the cable

[MDS]

im not sure how this applies to specific cities but channels like usa and discovery are in close to 100 million households. meaning only about 10-20 million people have tv but dont pay for cable, since around 110-120 million households have a tv.

now some people only might have a channel or two in terms of cable, i dont know specific plans, but basically cable and broadcast are simply morphing into one big thing called television. there is no separation anymore.

however, as mikey pointed out, poor people dont even have that shtein to begin with so its not much of a discussion.

and the whole point is the sixers are bigger than the flyers. basketball is more popular than hockey. everyone knows this. a big sixer game will kill a big flyers game every time. and im talkin like game 7 eastern conf finals, not game 1 first round.

I'm just gonna sit on his couch and eat prescription muscle relaxers and pleasantly watch tv and drink all of your beer. I'm such a druggie.

so uh back to the Flyers....an SI poll of 324 NHL players asked who the dirtiest players are and Hartnell was 5th behind Pronger, Steve Ott, Jarko Ruutu and Avery.  Hartnell took it as a compliment...

Scintillating stuff on this thread in the last 24 hours, guys.  Great work.

Good for him.

i like basketball more than hockey but i can't help but think that if basketball were actually the more popular sport, we'd be having this discussion in the sixers thread.

I wonder if you ate enough would it relax your sphincter and you could poo all over Todd's couch?

[rjs246]

I'll make it a point to find out.
