Broad Street Heroes

As a lifelong Philly sports fan I have always had strong opinions regarding my favorite teams. This blog is my outlet to other fans. My friends know me as the definition of a “Philly Fan”, saying that I embody the characteristics of the stereotypical fan from the City of Brotherly Love. In this blog you will see the hometown bias. When things go bad, I will show my frustration. When things go well I will display the gratitude that only fans of Philly teams know how to show. We are the best fans in any league, and I believe that 100%.

I named this blog “Broad Street Heroes” because I feel that each player from the Phillies, Flyers, Eagles, and Sixers has been near and dear to our hearts, except maybe Adam Eaton, and they are certainly my heroes. I treat the Wachovia Center, the Linc, and Citizen’s Bank Park as my home away from home, and that is how it should be.

Right now I am focusing on the Phillies because, let’s face it, IT’S BASEBALL SEASON! I will try to throw in some Eagles, Flyers, and Sixers stuff every once in a while, and by the time September rolls around it will be balanced towards all four teams.

My goals in this blog:

1. To discuss the daily events surrounding Philly Sports with fans.
2. To interact with other fans in a courteous manner (this means allowing everyone to have their say…I love a heated argument)
3. To change the perception of the Philly Sports fan because everyone should know what a true fan is.
4. To have FUN. There is nothing greater than talking about sports and discussing your favorite teams, players, plays, etc.
5. With that said, enjoy and let me know what you think…
