Phoenix vs. Philly

[Alan]

I thought some of you might have a take on this:

What a jackass. I want someone to write an article posting all the bad things about that city. I'm sure there are many many bad things that happen there.

 

[jmr667]

That's just sad is what it is. How pathetic does a city have to be to have a newspaper that prints a sour-grapes article because of population change?

At least our newspapers demonstrate some pride. Huh? What was that? The AZ Republic printed an article about a blocking sled in Denver just because their former QB's name was mentioned in it?

Oh well. Never mind then.

Truthfully, after reading the article, I do believe it was kind of "tongue in cheek". He's probably an Eagles fan and you have to remember that their average IQ is around 3.

 

[KingofCards]

Unfortunately alot of the crap he spews is correct, except busses on Sunday I can't find one untruth.

I long for the days when Phx was a one horse Town looking for two. Now we are a giant City full of jerkoffs that don't even consider the place home.

I loved this place in the old days. Now the only things I love about are, my family, my sports teams, and my job.

Hmmmm.....Thats everything, no wonder I will never leave!

****, Philly! That dudes article is just gonna make more people move here!.... Look out Houston here we come!!!!!

Who is the top 5?

I think:

1. New York.
2. Los Angeles.
3. Chicago.
4. Houston.
5. Phoenix.

Is Anthem consider Phx? Soon Phx will be expanded to Casa Grande up to Camp Verde.

I wonder where we rank in area?

 

[Young Gun]

if the article writer thinks Philly is so great, well then why are people leaving that dump in droves??

&

why are people moving to Phoenix if it isn't so great?well I guess they should all change their minds & go to Philthydelphia, where he thinks it is a great deal better.

I'm sure it isn't. It's gross.

 

[Young Gun]

all I gotta say is;

go Phoenix!!

 

[ASUCHRIS]

What a prick, it would be easy to come up with a list of that crap for any major city in the country. Philly is just jealous because we stole all their best athletes, and the fact that nobody wants to live in that crap hole. I guess if I lived in Philly, I would be bitter also though.

 

[JeffGollin]

Nice 4-page laundary list. But when all is said and done, Philly still sucks the most. Why?

Because it's still Philly.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

HEHE!

Here is his email:

Anyways I LIVE in Trenton. That is 20 min away from Philly.

HA! I say. Philly is one of the dirtiest, dangerous, and poorly run cities in america.

1st off you don't want to go to North Philly without some serious artillery. It IS a warzone.

2nd the city looks like some huge Giant has been pissing on it for the last 20 years, and it smells like it too.

3rd The city is so old and torn up. There are never any renovations going on. The city has 100 year old buildings that are in terrible shape. Most of them are closed down and crawling with gangs and drug addicts.

4th Is that is all I can think of. Off hand. No..... Ah yes, and the mayor is a coke addict. And all the roads are awful. You got to get the whole front end of your car re done every summer.

Not to say that the city doesn't have its good points. But if you want to spend all day writing an article on how crappy a city is Philly would cough up lots of bad facts and horrible statistics.
Just email the jerk and tell him off.

And above all just remember the Philly Sports code.

"We can get to the playoffs, even the finals, but we can never ever win" That and we are awful awful classless fans.

Peace

NO F'N WAY. LA, Chicago, and Boston are WAY WAY WAY better than New York. 10- years ago NYC was great. Then Giuliani came in a screwed it all up. NYC had beautiful culture. You could find anything in New York. Now it is a half-@ss Disney Land.
I mean it is still a cool city but NOTHING compared to what it once was.

You are correct. I think a bunch of scientist, accompanied by Dr. A.Boldin proved that theory.

The only good thing about the Eagles is Merril Reese.

Rugby - he was refering to population.

West Philly is no picnic either!

Philly ... the city of brotherly love. The city that loves you back. My ass.

Once in high school a few friends of mine took the Escort into the city. Took a wrong turn and ended up in hell. Bunch of kids ... and adults ... were standing in front of an open fire hydrant (which, I believe, is illegal). Me and another car pulled up the red light that was there. Everyone stepped out of the way of the hydrant so water wouldn't splash our cars. The guy in front of me made a right turn and I was the only car left at the red light. Once the guy turned, all the kids jumped in front of the water so it started to pour all over ... and inside ... my car. My friends and I laughed as we rolled up the windows, thinking they were just being smart ass kids. Then, all these people started banging on my car! I looked left. I looked right. And I blew through that damn red light and am pretty sure I ran over at least one person's foot. Guess white Irish girl wasn't welcome in that part of Philly.

The city that loves you back my ass.

I believe there is a guy who runs a tour bus that will take you to all the bad places in Philly. The legionare's disease hotel. Murder spots. Things like that.

I don't mind Philly so much. It does have some great historical places to visit and Penns Landing is nice. But, I don't think the city's reporters should be cutting on other cities. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, you know!

And rugby is right. Philly's sports teams can make it to the playoffs but can't go all the way. And the Flyers will continue to suck until Bobby Clark takes his head out of his ass. You were a great player, but you suck as a GM you punk bastard! (Okay. I am calm. I am counting to 10.)

 

[Northern Card]

I won't take 2 seconds to defend Philly. Been there and frankly, apart from reeking - it scares the hell out of me. That said; if any of those stats about Phoenix are true, I can say that I'm glad I don't live there either...

 

[Sandan]

I live down here and I used to live near Philly.

Let me assume you there is no comparison. Philly is dirty and how anybody can suggest that the Phoenix metro area is a more dangerous or poluted place than Philly is utterly beyond my comprehension.

Really? (blush) hehehehe.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

OH NO

OH NO! WARNING WARNING.

Jersey Girl Cards Fan is a (shudder) Flyers Fan!!!!!!!!!

These people are highly unstable, and are capable of hideious voilence. Just don't say the D word around them. It angries up the blood. See Bills fans.

JK Jersey Girl, of course. But Flyers fans ARE crazy. Just don't say the D word around them. It angries up the blood.

 

[Jersey Girl]

Okay, I am an idiot, rugby. What is the D word? Detroit? Defense? Don't wanna win a cup? What?

P.S. I promise not to yell.

D E V I _ _ ! That is all I will type. IT might get the ones I work with all in an uproar.

It doesn't matter I still root for the Hartford Whalers!

 

[Jersey Girl]

Oh, I see. I got no problem with the Devils! My sis and bro (both die hard Flyers fans) get tons of crap when they wear their Devils jerseys (which is only done once the Flyers' season is over). People always ask how we can like both. Answer? Brodeur, baby, Brodeur! And, hey, don't we LIVE in NJ? Geesh!

Screw Philly. If you can't take the heat get the f*** out of Arizona!

Enjoyed the first article ... except for the cut on Jersey. Geesh! Philly and Phoenix start fighting and they have to cut on Jersey? Have any of these people even been here? Don't believe the hype!

And, for the record, I just spent a week at the shore. The needle thing was over 10 years ago, thank you very much New York. The beaches were clean and the drunks were friendly (myself included ... just ask the Jersey boys!)

Okay. I'm counting to 10 again. Is it 5 p.m. yet? I need a happy hour like nobody's business.
