Cheesesteaks and Minor Sports Championships


Yes. Cheesesteaks and Minor Sports Championships. That's what Philadelphia does. It doesn't matter if it is minor league hockey, lacrosse, indoor soccer or Arena Football. If there is a minor league and Philadelphia has a team, we will win a championship. It's kind of like having a fat and ugly wife, that is a world class foot model. Sure, it's great to be a foot model, but who really gives a crap.

That's how I feel right now. It's a great story and all. I suppose I take a small measure of satisfaction out of this title, but the Soul's victory certainly does NOT end the curse. It lives on until the Eagles, Phillies, Flyers or Sixers win a title.

By the way, kudos to my boy Botts for coming up with that headline. That was all him. In case you don't get the joke, it's a take off from this line in Wedding Crashers:

At least minor league hockey is played by the same rules and in the same size rink as the NHL. This Mickey Mouse arena football nonsense is total garbage. How Jaworski can say that this stupid title ends the city championship drought while ignorning the two Phantoms titles is beyond me. Either the Phantoms and Soul titles both count against the drought or neither of them count. Almost everyone would say neither.

Nah, none of these minor league titles count.

Plus, I've always thought that Arena Football should be played w/ midgets. It would just bring everything to scale. The game is played on a scaled down field, shouldn't the players be smaller then?
