Best of Bweinh — One Hundred Words (1)

There comes a moment in each sports season where I begin to let go of one team and move on to the next one. The Philadelphia Flyers — Bweinh! predictions to the contrary — are not going to win the Stanley Cup.

Yet I’m not upset, really. I feel less ticked at their letdown, and am content to release these Flyers to the haze of history, and give my heart to another.

I have developed this coping mechanism over the last 97 Philadelphia professional sports seasons, each one ending without a championship. Perhaps the 98th — the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies — will not disappoint.

    And Philly accomplished a Triple Corwn with the Flyers beating NJ Saturday and the Phillies & Eagles winning Sunday. Wonder if thats ever happened before?
