00:00In any event, I guess it was USA Today put out a poll, and Philadelphia won the poll as the
00:06best NFL city.
00:09Yeah.
00:10Yeah, to me.
00:11That's according to USA Today, which no longer exists.
00:13It does exist.
00:14Philadelphia, the best NFL city.
00:16It is.
00:17Well, I'm assuming, I'm assuming, and it's just me making an assumption.
00:21Uh-huh.
00:21I knew what they say.
00:22I don't want to make an ass out of you and me when you assume you do that.
00:25But I'm assuming for a moment that the fine folks at the now defunct USA Today did not actually watch
00:35what happened in Philadelphia last week when New Yorkers took over your building in your city.
00:41That's basketball.
00:42Aren't they the same people?
00:43No.
00:44You're saying Sixers fans and Eagle fans are a different breed of human being?
00:48They're a different breed of human being.
00:48Is that right?
00:49Just like Knicks fans are a different breed of life form.
00:52Yeah.
00:52Not even human.
00:53But I'm just trying to figure out how could Philadelphia be the best NFL city when it's the worst NBA
00:58city.
00:59It's not the worst NBA city, but it's not the top.
01:01I guess, uh, not Nashville, Memphis is.
01:05No, I can show love, okay?
01:06I am actually impartial.
01:08The number one NBA city at this moment is no doubt New York.
01:13Absolutely NBA city right now.
01:14Happen to be correct on that.
01:15No doubt about it.
01:1710,000 people outside the building.
01:19Right.
01:19Yeah, in the streets.
01:20Right.
01:21No matter what the weather is.
01:22Watch it on the Jumbotron.
01:23That's what we do.
01:24But how could you be the worst basketball town?
01:26They're not the worst.
01:27I'd be the best football town.
01:28They're the best football town because they're the best football town.
01:30And it's true.
01:31Okay.
01:32Fly equals fly.
01:33On the road to victory.
01:35Fly equals fly.
01:36Score a touchdown.
01:37One, two, three.
01:38I'm surprised you guys got me counting with you.
01:40But when we're playing the Giants and we're playing the Jets, it's score a touchdown.
01:43One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
01:46That does happen.
01:47We win all the time.
01:48Okay.
01:49The fans are very passionate.
01:50You can talk about our basketball.
01:52And we have been diminished as a basketball town.
01:54Even Josh Hart said, you can't consider yourself a real sports town when your building gets taken over by the
02:00opposite team's fans.
02:01That's what happened in Philadelphia.
02:03So, Philadelphia has to eat that as a town.
02:06As a basketball town.
02:07But not as a football town.
02:08As a town, you all have to eat that.
02:09That'll never happen with the Eagles.
02:12Never happen with the Eagles.
02:12You don't think Giant fans can go for an NFC championship game and take over your building?
02:17Hell no.
02:18I mean, I don't think it's going to happen this year because I don't think the Giants are going to
02:20be very good.
02:21Washington tried just a couple of years ago.
02:23That's right.
02:23And they ended up at a hard rock cafe.
02:26And they left the game early because they got their asses kicked.
02:29They did get their asses kicked.
02:29All right.
02:30You can't mess with basketball.
02:32I have to defer.
02:33I have no choice.
02:34Okay.
02:34We're down bad right now.
02:36Did USA Today say what about Philadelphia makes it the best NFL city?
02:41Like, was there a list of they're best at this, they're number two at that, and overall they get a
02:46number one voting or ranking?
02:48I wonder what went into being the number one NFL city from a newspaper that no longer exists.
02:55You got to stop.
02:56And I used to love USA Today.
02:58$9.99 for the, you know, still delivered to your house.
03:03Ten bucks?
03:04Yeah.
03:05For a month?
03:05A year?
03:06I think it's for a month.
03:07Okay.
03:08Good.
03:08So I can still get to USA Today.
03:09Is Rudy Mardski still in there?
03:11I don't know.
03:12You're asking me all these hard questions.
03:14You're asking me all these hard questions.
03:16Yeah.
03:16Okay.
03:17USA Today used to remind me of Trivial Pursuit with every section had a different color.
03:21Yeah.
03:22Right?
03:22Like sports was orange, and the finance section was green, and the life section was purple, just like the board.
03:30Entertainment is purple now.
03:31Yeah.
03:32Still.
03:32That's what it was in Trivial Pursuit.
03:34Right.
03:34I think they copied that.
03:36I think it was the other way around.
03:37But back in the day, as a morning radio guy, you know, pre-internet, you need the USA Today as
03:43part of your show prep.
03:44That show prep.
03:45Yes.
03:45You said it was a big deal.
03:46You need it.
03:47Especially in the morning.
03:47For radio guys.
03:48Definitely in the morning you need it, because by afternoon you would get your local public.
03:51And there's that left side of the paper, all the quick little blurbs, in case you saw something that turned
03:55out.
03:55They could grab you right quick.
03:56But anyhow, I want to congratulate you.
03:58I know it's been a tough year for you.
03:59It's been tough.
04:00So, you know, now that you guys got embarrassed by the Knicks fans last week.
04:04That's fair.
04:04And got swept by the Knicks in that series.
04:06That's fair.
04:06And of course, your Flyers got swept as well.
04:09And your Phillies are only a 500 baseball team.
04:12That's fine as great as May.
04:14I want to congratulate you that Subnudnik in the USA Today gave you guys the crown that you so well
04:21won.
04:21And that is the greatest football city in America.
