Philly SportsCast #200 – October 7, 2009
With an exceptional pitching performance today, Cliff Lee has shown what he is capable of this MLB postseason – congratulations to the Phillies – go get ‘em again tomorrow.
Let’s remember and perhaps take a moment to think about just how fortunate we are in this town to have the sports teams we do. This is a great city – capable of great things. And the same goes for the Phillies, Eagles, Flyers and, well, Sixers.
Finally, thanks to everyone who listens to the show – without the kind as well as scathing emails and comments we get every day, there really is no way we get to #200.
Enjoy.

Halloween won’t work for me, either. I have a 2-year-old that is already wearing her costume around the house. Sometime that week before Eagles/Giants would be the way to go, though.
Maybe pairface would finally pay me the 100 from a bet a few years ago.he is a deadbeat.
Tell you what 6SBR, If you make it back, I got a brand-new Franklin with your name on it.
BTW – you do recall my offline offer to settle, no???
I am getting old. Refresh my memory.
You e-mailed me last year looking for a friend’s address and/or phone number (CC in Colorado) because you were going to be in that neck of the woods. I offered to pay you at that time. Ring a bell at all???
“Here is a little riddle for you Pairface. I’ll give you 10 points if you can figure it out. What are the first three letters in the word Elite?”
Not to beat the proverbial dead horse…but your boy has not exactly held up your end of this debate lately. What’s going on with Mr. Elite???

Piss poor performance all around last night. Eli was erratic, but his receivers were not getting open and were dropping balls. Terrible throw by Eli on the final drive.
The Bradshaw fumble KILLED them.
It was more than the Bradshaw fumble that KILLED them. The OL was shotty at best. The Saints, and now the Cards, have shown the NFL the blueprint to beating the Giants. Blitz often and stop the run. Eli was running for his life last night. The cards are starting to crumb.
BTW – how many lucky bounces can Eli get? The second TD was very lucky.
For all the hype surrounding the NFC East this year, it looks as if the balance of power has shifted elsewhere. The Saints are the class of the NFC right now, and I would probably rate the Vikings ahead of any team in the division. The Cards are also very good. The East could still win one or both Wild Cards, but right now, there is a considerable gap opened up between the NFC East and the top of the NFL.
What a fantastic game for debut MLB Witherspoon. Jackson also had a HUGE impact in the game. According to him he is UMPOSSIBLE to cover.
Jackson and Witherspoon looked good, but another sub-par effort from McNabb. I have defended him to the hilt. He is the best QB in franchise history. But I am tiring of his performances. He is missing wide open receivers. He underthrew Jackson by at least yards on the TD throw, almost causing an injury to Jackson.
I’m not necessarily calling for Kolb, but McNabb is going to have to do better if this team is to go anywhere this year. McNabb has cold spells every year, so hopefully this is it.
So true about McNabb. I thought he left way too many plays out there. How many balls did he throw short that bounced before they even hit the WR?
This debate is over – Eli SUCKS. He rode his defense all the way to the SB a couple years ago. But if the Giants defense is not leading the way, he does not get the job done.
He’ll have some more good stretches down the road, and he’ll win a few games in the 4th quarter. But he is wildly inconsistent, and is MILES from being ELITE.
If his last name was SMITH instead of MANNING, he’d be just another QB with a Super Bowl ring, like Dilfer.
Looking at the Giants up close for the 2nd time this year, their defense is a shell of what it was against the Cowboys in Week 1. It looks like Spagnuolo is missed very badly right now. That TD run from Weaver on the opening drive looked like slow motion.
Their offense is very vanilla. I like Hakeem Nicks on jump ball throws. But if the Giants can’t pound the ball with the running game, there’s no creativity in their playcalling.
The GIANTS are a BAD team collectively. From the QB play and play calling to the holes at Safety. The debate will be over when his career ends.
