Like they have a Liberty Bell? Everyone hates us and I LIKE it that way!!!!! Just lick our cleats and be on your way. 6ers going to be brutal this seasonRight now Dallas for sure...because the Giants have been irrelevant. But I think it comes and goes... for me Cowboys since they have been the rival for most of my life...but those 80s and Andy Reid years it was Giants as the competition within the division.
August 4Aug 4 Author OT-2001(I think) Took the GF to Canada on business(Hamilton, Ontario). It was during the Stanley Cup. It was game 7 Montreal vs Colorado. So we were the only US fans in the place and were cheering for the Avalanche. The service slowed down really bad on purpose because they love their hockey in Canada and were were "foreigners". It was like we had the plague. Really HORRIBLE sports people up there. Avalanche won the Cup and I thought they were going to kill us right there LOL. Very sore/poor losers

Dallas has the annoying fans and all the idiotic media attention... plus that America's team annoying thing.

"Hail to the Commanders" song just doesn't cut it, but the skins(wuss) were a force in the 80's

It's amazing how it's taken over the sports talk.You gotta work on your trash talk…sounded awesome for a knicks fan! As long as I’ve been watching NBA that’s all they’ve dreamed could happen. For years those fans actually believed they were contenders. But things are different when your sons with you. Definitely don’t want to have some sicko flip on you. Taking out the Knicks will actually mean something now. Beating terrible Gmen …I still admittedly enjoy far more than is healthy for a grown man…but it’s just so gloriously satisfying beating them when they actually believe them when their overhyped. Latest was in the playoffs. I mean those fans really were delusional after winning a playoff game. So they went from…”hey we’re going really well”… to such an extreme. Not just talking trash they’ll beat us…but so much further believing they had a shot and were actually contenders. That was so awesome! Because we didn’t just steal an undeservingwin…didn’t sneak by barely….we absolutely humiliated them!

August 4Aug 4 Giants fans at a fever high….we delivered 38-7 complete reality check. Losing by one score Hurts in any important game. But they reached highest levels of delusion…and Eagles just humiliated those pieces of….

Not saying he’s a saint…had a few fan moments he denied signatures for. Anybody reaching his level of fame gets bombarded so constantly by fans. Just can’t love whole life everyday appeasing everybody else though. LeBron famous elite BBall player at like 15…at 16 for sure.

You might make a 6ers fan out of me yet

Taking care of the body all year around has led to their longevity in being able to play two of the most athletic sports at the highest level for so long.
August 4Aug 4 LeBron driven to be greatest champion ever. So definitely deserves all the credit for absolutely working his tail off in every aspect to accomplish all he has. Really got blindsided by Boozer. That guy completely screwed Cleveland and LeBron. Glad LeBron was able to come back and deliver for Cleveland.

Players aren't washed up at 35 like the old days. Of course the rules in football wussed out over the years. Guys like Butkus or Mean Joe would be ejected every game LOL

Humble kids that just love to work and get the big picture of how blessed they are to be able to play the sport they love for a living...a good living. They play with such energy and joy. So easy to be a fan of theirs.

They released him from old to sign new..tricking them so he could screw them and bolt to Utah,

Not many weaknesses in his game

They released him from old to sign new..tricking them so he could screw them and bolt to Utah,They totally had a chance to be champions for Cleveland. Boozer completely sunk all that. Forcing LeBron to leave. Sucked…but gotta win championship to be a champion. The guy is chasing all time greatest sports champion ever…pretty sure all know that’s Michael Jordan. Just practically unthinkable competition to even dream of overtaking. Maybe gets the championships part for his case to be made. Nahhh…it’s still the Sixers we are talking about. They’ll be super overhyped though for sure.
August 4Aug 4 LeBron made sure to collect rings…just can’t knock him for that…especially after Boozer screwed them. But LeBron came back. Cleveland won a championship! Crazy to even type still. That was all due to LeBron. He made sure it happened. Pretty special! Not like I’m Mr Cleveland. But…really believed he delivered something priceless to them. You don’t have to be from Cleveland to respect and appreciate what he did there.
August 4Aug 4 Then really locked in making sure he realized another so absolutely rare special occurrence playing with his son. Just be such a dad’s dream coming true.

Guys like Butkus or Mean Joe would be ejected every game LOLNot so much that... I know your generation had the guys smoking cigarettes on the sidelines and you thought that was just the coolest..thr John Wayne type thing. The real men.I grew up 80s- 90s... fitness was kool.. seeing Jerry Rice, Walter Payton, Michael Jordan ...physical types using their fitness level to elevate themselves within their sports. Even baseball players like Mike Schmidt etc. We had a local guy...Pat Croce, he was 76ers president when Allen Iverson played...but he started out as trainer for them and other local athletes. Like the fitness guru type.That's what I saw. That's how we grew up. So I get how training comes into play...strength, speed, flexibility, endurance...along with diet, hydration etc. That is what is kool to my generation, not the cigarettes on the sidelines. That's evolved to such a higher level of sports science. The thing the organization has taken away from the Chip era. The smoothies, the sleep tracking all that stuff...prevents injuries and gets the athletes to perform at their max. Kelce, Celek, Graham etc...all spoke about how all that helped them. Ironically Jason Peters who was too good for all that... his body went down hill fast. LeBron and Brady took it to extreme level, but that's why they still perform at the older age... that's what was important enough to sacrifice for that.
