Jimmy Says FU

Jimmy Rollins says Philly fans are front-runners



Unless you've been on your dream vacation to a resort in the far east or on a Honeymoon in the Mediterraneon, you've probably heard about Jimmy Rollins' idiotic comment on the Best Damn Sports Show.

To review, Jimmy Rollins said that Philadelphia fans are "front-runners" and they'll support the team when they win and get down on them when they lose.

Sorry Jimmy, but that's not the definition of a front-runner. A front-runner is someone who was a 49ers fan in the 80's, then a Cowboys fans in the 90's, and a Patriots fan today.

Front-runners jump from team to team and if they do happen to get interested in just Philly teams, then they "get interested" when they're on a playoff run. See the bottom-feeding Florida and Colorado Rockies fans for proof of that.

Philadelphia fans will be totally behind players when they play hard and do the right things, but when they're dogging it or taking the proverbial dump, then they get on them. That's not front-running; that's being a passionate fan.

And, Jimmy Rollins then mentioned how Ryan Howard is from St. Louis and that they always support their teams.

WRONG.

St. Louis Cardinals fans might be the biggest sheep I've ever seen in my life. They just sit there in unison like a bunch of sheep and refuse to boo even when their team gets blown out by the Phillies 20-2 like back in June. If you remember that game they just sat their and took it like a guy in a dunking booth. St. Louis fans are a joke compared to Philadelphia fans.

This is rather disturbing because it goes to show you that athletes like Jimmy Rollins are so childish that they can't even deal with being criticized in the form of booing when they play mediocre baseball, which Rollins has been pretty much the entire season.

Jimmy Rollins basically said FU to the Philadelphia fans and I've lost just about all respect for him.

Maybe it's a plow to write his ticket out of town. Maybe he just always felt that way and it's coming out because his season has gone way down hill.

Jimmy doesn't care and many of us don't care if you're with the team much longer.

The Sixers are on crack

There are about 80 million reasons why I think Ed Stefanski was hitting the crack pipe this week.

Come on, 80 million dollars for Andre Iguodala? You've gotta be kidding me. During his past two seasons he's averaged 19 points a game, but plays the shooting guard position like a tweener. He's good for some dunks and highlight reels, but ultimately will kill the team with his shooting.

I think the team should have traded him and gone after a player like Michael Redd. The Sixers are a shooter away from becoming a real contender in the east and they can certainly do that without Andre Iguodala.

This is the sort of crap that got Billy King into the boat he was in. Billy King was the equivalent of a middle income person in over their head deep in credit card debt. He signed scrubs like Kenny Thomas to large contracts and took in big-money players like Glenn Robinson, Keith Van Horn, and Chris Webber and destroyed the team by hanging onto Allen Iverson and his enormous contract for far too long.
