A quick review of Philly Sports for the week of January 22
- We lost Joe Paterno – RIP
- We lost Andy Musser – RIP
- We said goodbye to Brad Lidge. 2008 was a great season. There’s nothing like being perfect.
We said goodbye to Wilson Valdez. No more 19th inning pitching wins.
Phil Knight –Enough said!!
We found greatness in Penn State, Kenny Jackson, Charlie, Pittman, Jimmy Cefalo, Todd Blackledge, Chris Marrone, Michael Robinson, Michael Mauti, Lauren Perrotti, Jeff Bast, Susan Welch, Kurtis Cleckner and Jay Paterno, Sue Paterno and the Paterno family.
The Phils welcome Juan Pierre. Could he be the leadoff hitter we need?
Congrats to Flyers Claude Giroux, Kimmo Timonen and Scott Hartnell for making the NHL All Star team. Especially Hartnell making his 1st appearance in his 11th season.
Claude Giroux goes to the All Star break 2nd in the league in points
The Flyers go to the All Star break in 2nd place in the Atlantic Division 3 points behind the Rangers.
The 76ers finished the week 3-1 and lead the Atlantic Division by 4 games.
Congrats to Shady McCoy, Jason Peters and Jason Babin for making the Pro Bowl in Hawaii. A special shout out to former Eagle David Akers for another trip to Honolulu.
Temple (15-5) whipped St. Joe’s (13-9), 78-60 at the Liacouras Center. I wish those games were still at the Palestra.
Drexel is 17-5 and has won 9 in a row.
Penn is 11-9 and has won 3 in a row.
LaSalle is 16-6 and has won 3 in a row.
Villanova lost to Marquette falling to 11-12.

Although VERY SAD for those we lost, it sure looks like a very bright year to come for our Philly teams! I love this sports town! KEEP IT GOING!!
Thanks. Things are looking up everywhere we look. The Flyers are going to make a run at The Cup. World Series or bust for the Phillies. The 76ers being in the mix makes it even better and come next Fall I expect the Eagles to be what we thought they were going to be this year. Good times are here!!!
