iSportacus, on the Philly sports radio scourge:
Sometimes I just want to put the thoughts I hear on WIP onto paper and look at them for a few minutes, trying to figure out how many levels of irrationality go through the mind of a sports fan. Is there any other realm of human activity where people rely solely on their own assumptions and desires for their sense of reality with absolutely no regard for what anyone else is trying to accomplish?After eight months of solid Eagles hate (through the Dawkins departure, the Vick signing, the Raiders loss, Fire Reid/Fire McNabb etc.) the team's current four-game winning streak has been met mostly, on the station, with... non-stop Iverson talk and now, I suspect, Halladay talk.
On what I heard of the morning show this morning, last night's win barely came up; they had a long interview with some stripper who was in Penthouse, until they got into Wing Bowl tryouts. Clearly, listening to people eat is the best radio humanly possible.
