00:00Sometimes it's the moves you don't make that maybe are the best ones
00:03because we've had some pretty terrible player acquisitions
00:07across all four of our major sports teams.
00:10So we opened up the text board.
00:12We told you to send your voice memos.
00:14I want the worst in Philadelphia history.
00:18So send in your text and your voice memos now, 610-632-0975.
00:23Silvana said they were already flowing in from the beginning of the show.
00:26I'm going to give you my worst one, Ricky,
00:28before we go to the text board, and then I want yours.
00:32For me, being a diehard Flyers fan from when I was a little kid
00:37and constantly seeing the Flyers struggle to get good goaltending.
00:42Oh, you got one of mine, I think.
00:43And then you had a nice young goaltender by the name of Sergei Bobrovsky.
00:49But you didn't give him a chance because you went out
00:52and you signed Ilya Brizgalov to an eight-year, $51 million deal.
00:58You had to turn around and get rid of Sergei Bobrovsky the following season.
01:02He's only gone on to win how many Stanley Cups, how many Vesna trophies.
01:07And Ilya Brizgalov got bought out by the Flyers, and they're still paying him.
01:13Until next year, they have been paying Ilya Brizgalov on his buyout until the year 2027.
01:21My lion, that was nothing but a lamb, it's got to be Briz.
01:25Humongous big, Ricky Bowe.
01:27Humongous.
01:28Humongous big mistake is what it was.
01:30I don't even know where I should go on this one.
01:35I'll go Philly since everybody thinks baseball.
01:39All right, what do you got?
01:40Around me.
01:41I have a double whammy, though.
01:43I just don't know which one to go.
01:44I'm going to go with one when I was playing.
01:47Remember a guy named Danny Tartable?
01:50Oh, yeah.
01:51Yeah, that's a popular one.
01:52And by the way, Danny Tartable is one of the nicest guys you've ever met.
01:56Just a terrible signing.
01:57Got to know him in spring training.
01:59Great guy.
02:0011 at-bats later, he fouls the ball off of his foot.
02:04Done.
02:05We never saw him again.
02:07I never saw him again.
02:09Never saw him again.
02:11Never had a hit as a Philly.
02:12I believe he was 0 for 7 and he had some walks.
02:16But Danny Tartable, never to be seen again.
02:19And you talk about a lion before he got here.
02:21He was an all-star.
02:22Right?
02:22He was an all-star player before he came to Philadelphia.
02:24Oh, my God.
02:25He was awesome.
02:26I mean, he could hit home runs.
02:27Big, strong.
02:28Talk about a rock.
02:29Dude, he was strong.
02:31Strong individual, except for his foot, apparently.
02:34Yeah, I was going to say, his Achilles heel was the foot.
02:36Yeah, it's just, wow.
02:39Just one of those things that's unbelievable.
