    Question for Philly people

    Do you guys have any statues of sports icons in your city? We have ones of Russell, Bird, Auerbach, Bobby Orr, Ted Willians , Pesky...

    All I see over & over again is the statue of Rocky. You know, the fictitious character in all those movies. Is that your sports top echelon?

    Now I know you guys have the liberty Bell and shrines to founding fathers , as well as we do. Heck I drinkin the same bar as Paul Revere did (Warren Tavern) all the time. But I’m just talking about sports.

    Erving, Schmidt, Clarke, ?????

    And let’s not talk about the statue that they took down , not in your city, but state.

    No I was serious actually. Maybe Boston can put up a Spider-Man statue and we can all worship it.

    Maybe if Philly wins they can erect a life size stature of Mr potato head himself, Uscphilly. Think of it everybody can take part in it . Someone can put his nose on and then his ears and so forth.

    They can put it in Germantown.

    I am SO going to enjoy watching Brady writhe on the ground holding his knee in the second quarter.

    BG if you never have I’d highly suggest a visit to the art museum area. Just a beautiful part of town and some really great things to see.

    I do find it odd that all these pats fans are posting these bash Philly threads but the opposite not occurring. Christ Philly in the Super Bowl with their back up QB. No chance they win, right.

    Worry much

    BG any black athlete statues? Your list seems racist

    We are used to the Pats winning, that’s what they do. Or are you going to argue that fact as well.

    And if you didn’t know, Bill Russell is black.
