About Chris »

My name is Chris. I graduated from BCC with my Assoc. Arts in Broadcasting and journalism. I now attend Rider University for Public Relations and Journalism.

My blog is where you'll find everything you need to know about the Philadelphia Flyers. Go here: http://difrancesco86.wordpress.com.

I write for The Philadelphia Flyers. I am the Sports Director for The Bronc 107.7 WRRC on Rider Radio.

I'm brutally honest, deal with it, you'll appreciate it later. Anything else you want to know, ck facebook and find me.

I try my best to bring you all the facts about what is going on inside the Flyers. What I write is the truth mixed with my opinion.

I'm back on hockey!

Please take a look at my latest article documenting Tim Thomas' rise from nothing to become one of the NHL's premier goaltenders when you get a free moment.

Thanks,

Hey Chris:

Jeremy Roenick was one of my favorite players of all-time, he was so great on the ice, but he was comical off the ice. He provided a lot of entertainment in his career, and it's sad that he didn't win a Cup in Philly, but I loved his time here. He's retiring...for real this time.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote The Year Too Early NFL All-Decade Team.

This is its baseball counterpart, The Half of a Year Too Early MLB All-Decade Team, and my 100th article here on Bleacher Report.

The trade deadline came and passed, and the Phillies didn't get Roy Halladay.

What the team did get however is a reigning Cy Young award winner who could very well be the key to the Phillies repeating as World Champions.
