Step aside Madden ’10 and Gears of War, NBA 2K10 has taken it a step further this year.
Through research they’ve replicated the actual number of fans that show up for each team’s games. Check out the picture (with actual number of fans) of a recent Sixers game that I played… and don’t ask me how I got a 5 on none breakaway or why there’s no one on the bench.
In honor (is that the right word here? am I really honoring the snow?) of Snowpocalypse ’010- Volume 2, Spike and I braved the weather and made it into the studio today to run down the greatest PhillySportsPocalypse moments in the history of the Phillies, Flyers, Sixers and Eagles.
This must be from 2008
Uhoh… BREAKING NEWS… and this is disturbing.
What does a photo of Brad Lidge have to do with PhillySportsPocalypse?
Ohhh Eddie. Just when you thought the Sixers history of coaches couldn’t get any worse, Eddie Jordan has surprised us all. I mean, Doug Moe, John Lucas, Johnny Davis, Randy Ayers and now Jordan.
We feel ya, Eddie.
We went into the season knowing the Sixers weren’t going to win the title, but they’d at least be respectable. They’d be an above .500 team, and with a little luck and some tough play out of Brand (not 100% last year), Iggy (their go-to guy), Thad (supurb freshman season) and Lou Williams (finally given the opportunity to start) they could grab the 4th or 5th seed (behind Cleveland, Boston, and the combination of Miami, Atlanta and/or Chicago). But instead, they’re at the bottom of the East with the lowly Nets (who have given the Sixers 3 of their wins).
Today’s Sports Monday on the Noise podcast was one for the books. What we had hoped was going to be a ProBowl preview edition* and another in the series of Eddie Jordan bashing podcasts, quickly turned into a heated discussion on the future of Donovan McNabb and a breakdown of the Philadelphia sports fan. This is not the one to skip over.
Is this one of those pictures that tells 1000 words?
As always, thanks for listening. And those other voices… that’s Spike and that’s Lee Russakoff.

Not sure this is what he signed up for when he requested the nickname of Slammin Sammy. (Note: I really, really want to thank Philly.com for this picture. If you haven’t been to Philly.com today you should get back in bed and rethink your daily process)
If you’ve ever wanted to hear about Conan O’Brien, Eddie Jordan, Brett Favre and all of the remake, sequel, etc movies that are coming out this year all in under one hour, then this is the podcast for you…
I’d like to start with an apology. I had you all hooked after my riveting Sixers vs Celtics notes (sarcasm) and I haven’t been back to a game since. But here I am! Live and in person in press row, near actual reporters doing their actual jobs. Continue reading
I have to constantly type so it looks like I belong here. Spike is already paragraphs ahead of me, but whatever he types is actually going on the internet. This isn’t.
