If you want the highs of Philly sports, you gotta be willing to get dragged through the lows. That’s the deal. There is no casual setting here. The Phillies lose today, we swear we’re done with them forever, and tomorrow we’re back in the same seat yelling at the TV like our input is legally required.
Our Eagles coach will insult you on national television and not even think twice about it. That’s about as Philly as it gets. LeBron might be entering Year 24, which is absolutely ridiculous, but if he’s wearing PHILA across his chest, welcome to the family. We’ll complain about him too. That’s how you know you’ve been accepted.
We love hard. We boo hard. We overreact. We forgive. We come back tomorrow. Because underneath all the insanity, the anger, the memes and the annual threat to “never watch this team again” is a city that genuinely gives a damn.
Players feel it. Coaches feel it. Fans live it.
No city does passion quite like Philadelphia.
The highs wouldn't mean nearly as much without surviving the lows together. Philly forever.
When things are moving very fast and people are losing their minds, it’s important to stay grounded. Turn off your phone, read scripture, spend time with friends, and remember internet fury is not real life. It’s going to be ok.
“I am a son of Saint Augustine, an Augustinian.
With you I am a Christian, for you I am a Bishop.”
— Pope Leo XIV
What a profound and humble introduction from the new Successor of Peter. With these words, Pope Leo XIV identifies not only his theological heritage, but also the heart of his mission—rooted in the wisdom of St. Augustine, one of the greatest doctors of the Church.
To be a son of Augustine is to embrace a spirituality of interior conversion, love for truth, and unwavering fidelity to Christ and His Church. It is to walk the path of humility, prayer, and repentance, all while upholding the deepest doctrines of the Faith—not as burdens, but as treasures.
In an age of confusion, his voice echoes Augustine’s plea: “Let us cling to the Church, which alone possesses the true doctrine.”
May the Church under Pope Leo XIV rediscover the strength of her foundations, the beauty of her moral clarity, and the radiance of her unchanging truth.
We pray that the flame of Augustinian wisdom will burn brightly in this new pontificate—and lead us closer to the Heart of Christ, through the love of His Bride, the Holy Catholic Church.

Brodes was not having it with a caller who was upset with the play of Jalen Hurts at 5am:
“IF ALL HE DOES IS WIN, THEN WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT HIM?”
