Mike Sielski of the Bucks County Courier Times on the Philly sports attitude, post-'08:
Boo Ryan Howard, the reigning National League MVP, three games into the following season? But we haven't won a championship in 25 years! Suggest that Andy Reid, the most successful Eagles coach in a half century, ought to be fired? But we haven't won a championship in 25 years! Jeer Donovan McNabb on draft day? Cheer Michael Irvin's career-ending injury? Chuck batteries at J.D. Drew? But + But + But +I agree- the Eagles will have to win a Super Bowl before the whining finally stops.Except the drought is over. It ended in October. So, now that the Phillies have won a World Series and a Big 5 team has reached the Final Four and might yet win a national championship, and the Eagles came within one victory of reaching the Super Bowl and the Flyers came within three victories of reaching the Stanley Cup Finals - all in the last 11 months - it's time to ask a favor of Philadelphia's sports fans.
Can you stop the whining, just for a little while?
