and philly riots! Nothing like a good ol football riot
Apparently the city put grease on the traffic poles so people wouldn't climb them..didnt work.
All things considered I thought things weren't too bad, I used to think the city would be in flames the next day if they ever won it. Things were about the same as when the Phillies won it in '08, but I think the parade will probably be bigger come Thursday. Like I said as far as sports the city lives and dies Eagles, I don't listen to sports radio at all, but if I ever have it can be anytime of the year and all they want to talk about is the Eagles.
BTW
No one here really thought that greasing the poles with hydraulic fluid would stop them!
Also personally I think pro football is better on tv compared to live. The fact that you can have better viewing angles and you do have filler whether it is commercials or commentary between stops and starts kind of fills in some of the stoppages that you don't get by watching it live.
College football, I've never been to a "blueblood" game but I've been to the Temple Owls in addition to my lower division University and I do enjoy that more live than on television with the bands and pageantry I don't feel you get at a pro game. The college fans around here for the most part don't carry on like they do at an Eagles game, but again I've never been to a Penn State game for example.
