How Philadelphia Has Became the Most Iconic Sports Town in America.

It’s a cold rainy day on March 26th 2022. The hometown Phillies are on the road in Detroit losing 14-8.

As sports fans we suffer through times like these to be able to see our teams succeed come playoff time.
If the Phillies season can continue until Tuesday, they will become the first sports town in history to have all 5 major pro teams playing at the same time.

It’s not out of the realm to believe the Phillies and Eagles have excellent chances at reaching the championship game/series in their respective sports but don’t count out those gritty Union and sixers.

With the Union season already in full postseason swing, they secured themselves a first round bye for the playoffs. The sixers tip off Tuesday night at Boston where an Embiid & Harden led-team will try and run it back after a disappointing ending last postseason.

The intertwine and respect between all five Philly professional sports shows and we all strive for each other to do well. Sure ESPN and Fox Sports will mention how we booed and threw snowballs at Santa Clause 35 years ago but there is nothing in the world like Philly Phans and there’s no doubt in my mind we’re the best sports city on the planet.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
