5 Reasons You Wish You Were A Philly Sports Fan

We may be crazy, but we are the best kind of crazy.

In the city of Brotherly Love, we share an entirely new level of passion for our teams, and there's nothing else quite like it.

We root for them whether they are having the absolute worst season ever, or killing it and slaying every other team in the league. We may be crazy, but we are the best kind of crazy.

It is truly something special to see an entire city coming together all because of one team. Here are 5 reasons why you wish you were a Philly fan!

1. We're CHAMPS, baby!!!

Our athletes have an unbelievable amount of heart and drive to want to succeed and win. This year we were able to bring home the SuperBowl and be on top!

Win or lose, Philly is ALWAYS number one in our hearts, and this year we're lucky enough to be able to show the rest of the world just how strong our pride is and just how strong-willed our athletes are.

2. Our celebrations are bigger than any party you will ever go to.

When we win a big game, we go wild. Wild, like we make the front page of the newspaper and the six o'clock news for DAYS, wild.

Millions of people flooding the streets, climbing light posts, setting off fireworks, and riding on the tops of police cars. Experiencing a win in Philadelphia is something unlike anything else you will ever encounter.

3. We thrive on being the "underdog".

Say what you want and put us down, but we will keep our heads high and prove you wrong.

Forever being known as the team who "probably won't win" only drives us more to want it. We love the competition and we never back down from a challenge.

4. We have the most passionate fan base.

We travel in packs; wherever our team goes, we go with them. They are never left high and dry.

We are always giving them that sense of home when they look up into the stands and see the endless sea of green, orange, or red, depending on the sport. We want to be there every step of the way cheering on our team and supporting them, no matter if the game is home or away.

5. We are loyal.

When Philly is having a tough season or a rough few years, we never drop them or pick a new team. We. Are. Loyal.

We believe in them and ONLY in them. This is something so unique, and it is the reason why the fans are the way we are. We win together, we lose together, and we single-handedly know how to unite an entire city.


Regardless of where you live, each and every person has their team and who they grew up rooting for. But, if you're lucky enough, you'll be raised to embrace that brotherly love and have the great opportunity of being a Philly fan (a.k.a. the best type of fan there is!)

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
