PrintThere's few times in the year when all 4 sports in Philadelphia have something interesting going on all at once. Now is one of those times. With the Flyers and Sixers both in the postseason, the Phillies starting the defense of their title, and the NFL draft... it's a crazy time for Philly sports fans. All 4 of our major sports teams have all been in the postseason over the past year, and a local college made the final 4.
I wanted to take the opportunity to point out the great coverage of Philly sports we've got on the SBNation network.
The Good Phight covers the WFC Phillies and has had some great tributes to Harry Kalas over the past few days.
Liberty Ballers covers the playoff bound 76ers and has been previewing the upcoming series against the Magic.
The Flyers playoff run is underway and Travis has the orange and black covered at Broad Street Hockey.

Good Days
I think the Flyers could do some damage (ignoring Game 1 against the Pens) but I don’t see the Sixers going very far.
Of course, the Phillies will repeat ;-)
it should be noted that the sixers blogger is a cowboys fan.
brian mccann: derek lowe's got the best slider i've ever seen
john smoltz: yeah? and josh bard's the best catcher i've ever thrown to.
yeah but he’s a great blogger, and he can handle the jokes (and give them back) … I encourage everyone to check out Liberty Ballers if you’re a Sixers fan. The SBN guys really know how to pick their bloggers it’s the best all around site I’ve ever seen.

From Goodfellas...
“You know, we always called each other good fellas. Like you said to, uh, somebody, :You’re gonna like this guy. He’s all right. He’s a good fella. He’s one of us.: You understand? We were good fellas. Wiseguys. But Jimmy and I could never be made because we had Irish blood. It didn’t even matter that my mother was Sicilian. To become a member of a crew you’ve got to be one hundred per cent Italian so they can trace all your relatives back to the old country.”
I encourage everyone who follows the Flyers to check out Broad street hockey during the open game threads. last night we did a little ‘road trip’ where we joined up with the Pittsburgh fans for the game thread. during the first period we discussed the game on their site, second period on BSH, and then everyone went back to their own teams blog for the third period. it would be great if we had more FLyers fans to combat those arrogant Pittsburghers. we all know Philadelphia>Pittsburgh
Philadelphia>Pittsburgh
not last night
