In a previous post I had mentioned how Philadelphia fans are constantly being teased. Rumors and headlines always have the big stars supposedly on their way to Philadelphia. We as fans begin to envision a better receiving corps for the Eagles, a dominant low-post scorer for the 76ers, or an ace joining the Phillies pitching staff. We dream of the new acquisition finally ending our championship drought of 100 seasons. Well, the teasing and disappointment continues. Reports have C.C. Sabathia going to the Brewers for a slew of minor Today's Must Reads
As Eagles training camp is now only a few weeks away, it is safe to assume that there will be no big-name receivers making their way to the Linc. Maybe the additions of Samuel, Clemons, and Booker will be enough to get the Eagles back to the playoffs.
Yes, the rumors do make for interesting news and conversation with your buddies. But for once it would be nice for a rumor to become a reality. Season after season, year after year, team after team it is the same story. So close, but so sorry. Here’s hoping that the pieces in place are good enough to get our beloved 76ers, Phillies, and Eagles to the top. However, the track record of each team does not paint a promising picture. Despite the teasing, this fan still believes that this year is the year for the Phillies and the Eagles. Unfortunately, I will probably be saying the same thing in 2009!

Does anyone remember when we had the #1 overall pick in the 1986 NBA draft after Julius retired. We still had Moses, Maurice, and Toney, and BARKLEY! and we could have added Brad Daugherty...only to trade OUT of the draft with Cleveland I think we got some "Hinson" guy. We then traded Malone to Portland where he still had a couple dominant years left in him. I think we picked up Jeff Ruland and Catledge? That, to me, was the death of what could have been a long championship dynasty by Philadelphia. Bunch of all stars and the #1 overall pick in the draft...reduced to one decent player named Charles Barkley that we could never seem to build anything around. Sad day.
