"If we lose this game, I'll walk back to Pittsburgh."
On this date in 1989, Pirates broadcaster Jim Rooker made that promise after Pittsburgh scored 10 runs in the 1st inning.
The Pirates lost 15-11.
And Rooker actually walked the 300+ miles back to Pittsburgh.

NFL schedule makers hate the Eagles part 2.

- They have the 2nd worst rest differential
- Not getting bye after London game like usual
Jordan Mailata on the last part:
"Woooh we're cooked" 😂

Danny Briere talking about the fans cheering and chanting at the final playoff game
“The players knew how special it was to play in the playoffs in Philadelphia. They didn’t realize how special it was.”
I’m not crying, you’re crying
This confirms what I thought Brind’Amour was saying to Tocchet in the handshake line. Awesome stuff here from a former Flyer who knows what playoff hockey means to Philadelphia. #IgniteTheOrange
