I can understand why Philly fans are so bitter. They've led a miserable and disappointing sports life which they take out on people around them. Their last sports championship was back in what, like 1983? And that was the 76'ers so that hardly even counts.

When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

Pretty sure I just did that. Although I'd argue I'm not that different than everyone else. Most people root for what those around them are rooting for and thats the home team demographic reasons. I grew up with a Dad who liked the Cowboys and a grandfather who liked the Flyers so it's who I learned to root for.

My parents are from chicago but moved out here a little before I was born, and thus for every sport my dad likes (baseball, football, basketball) I'm a diehard chicago fan. I avidly root for the redskins to lose :wink: pretty much because of him. However seeing as he never watches hockey I just kinda latched on to the caps in highschool as a good friend of mine was a diehard fan.

ah ha ha ha...
WASHINGTON (AP) -Flyers left wing Patrick Thoresen was taken to the hospital for tests after getting hit in the groin by a shot off Alex Ovechkin's stick during Philadelphia's 5-4 loss to Washington on Friday night. "He's going to the hospital to get an ultrasound done on his testicles. It's bad enough they may have to remove one,'' Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said. "Right now, we're not sure how serious it is, but there's a chance he may need surgery.'' Thoresen blocked Ovechkin's shot with about 6 1/2 minutes left in the game, then dropped to the ice, writhing in pain. Moments later, Washington scored to tie the game 4-4. "Obviously, I'd have liked to see a whistle,'' Flyers coach John Stevens said. Thoresen was helped off the ice and taken to the locker room. actually i think it was mike green's shot, but ah ha ha ha....
