Chip Kelly - Head Coach, Philadelphia Eagles

[Sgt PSN]

The Sharks actually are part of the "Bay Area."  The Bay Area is SJ/SF/Oak....but that's besides the point. 

Boston is predominantly Pats fans but I don't consider them to be a 4 sport city because Foxboro is so far removed from the Boston Metro.  Just like if the Flyers moved to Reading, I wouldn't consider Philly to be a 4 sport city either.  Reading is not Philly metro.   

Oakland has the A's, Warriors, and Raiders.

San Fran has the 9ers and Giants.   

SJ has a hockey team that SF and Oak aren't even aware of.

IGY... San Jose is on the south end of SF Bay.  You realize that, right?

not sure how that is relevant at all

sf is right across a bridge from oakland but when the raiders didn't have a football team it would have be blasphemous for someone from oakland to root for the 49ers

you root for your city you don't root for a team

go a's!
go warriors!

but the sharks have never in any way been affiliated with the bay area...they never played in oakland or sf they were never based there

They played at the Cow Palace the first few years, 10 mins to the west of Candlestick

not in san francisco and it was temporary until they moved to their original planned home....san jose

if they had stayed in a sf suburb and were named the sf sharks then it would make sense....but san jose is a legit city

again it would be like the flyers moving to baltimore and people from philly rooting for them.....this isnt a giants playing in east rutherford situation

Technically I believe that Reading is included in some definitions of the Philadelphia metropolitan area.  I tried to look it up on the census website for an "official" answer, but it is closed due to the government shutdown.

I sure the republicans are blaming that on Obama's unwillingness to negotiate already.

reading is not philly....beleeedat

Daly City isn't SF.

Got it.

When driving from Philly to Reading you pass farms and shtein.  When you start passing farms you've officially left the metro area.  Reading is obviously in the Philly market and damn near everyone there is an Eagles/Phillies/Flyers/6ers fan, but it def ain't Philly or Philly metro.

Reading is considered part of the Philadelphia market for TV/radio.  So are the Lehigh Valley area, southern Jersey and Wilmington.  Reading isn't grouped with Harrisburg

a san jose team played in a san fran suburb for ten minutes so they are a san fran team now?

i don't know why im asking a guy from south jersey who roots for the orlando magic this question....i guess im a glutton for punishment

[Sgt PSN]

Hell, I live in the Philly market for TV and radio.  Phils and Eagles games are on local tv so I must be Philly metro.  Oh, wait a minute.  I just looked out my window and saw a farm.  Not metro.

probably for the same reason i'm talking to a guy who lives in maryland and roots for philly teams.  boredom.

this is the most random weird post ever.....who mentioned harrisburg?

and for the record people from reading can and should root for philadelphia teams but that's totally different than reading being "philly"......its def not

like sarge said if the flyers moved to reading and became the reading flyers that would be the end of them in philly
