Bet he does too.

Saw him run at the Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn. Hell of a horse!

He will lose... you are forgetting a key point here... the horse is from Philadelphia. We never win anything, didnt you guys see Rocky?

He's going to win but the final odds will be so bad you'd have to be a fool to bet on him. When that crowd at Belmont if finished shoving money through the windows he'll probablity go off at 2:7

Philadelphia used to be the capital. Now were not as big or as strong as New York, nor as we as important as DC. Our only refuge is to pretend that a broken bell is the most important object in the country and to make fun of New Jersey and Delaware on a consistant basis.

Its a mentality that Ive not encountered anywhere else. Its almost like the people here appreciate a loser - who tries as hard as he can but still doesnt make the grade - more a winner.

Good read, thanks for the insight. I don't know about what life in the city, but I damn sure won't be wearing any Cowboys hats to another game in Philly. I still have knots on my head from 1992. god beer, good fights, just not fond of the gangbang
