00:00all the nonsense i talk about philadelphia it's a great sports town it's a great sports town

00:05all right it's eagles all the time but it is a great sports town would you know that in the

00:11middle of the week for an intra-squad scrimmage again it's not even a real game 31 000 people

00:19bought tickets show it can you guys show it to everyone 31 000 people showed up in philadelphia

00:26it's got audio too all right so play this good guys check this out it's awesome

00:37yeah that's right

00:50i i just find that to be awesome it's fun like for all the negativity that philadelphia

00:56endures and a lot of it's self-inflicted to be fair right but a lot of it's not a lot of it's just

01:01they're misunderstood they're animals you know you're animals but sometimes you're misunderstood

01:05animals for 31 000 people to show up on a weeknight all right now i know a lot of people don't school

01:12today because of the jewish holiday of yom kippur maybe that's why they did it yesterday i don't

01:16know of course that's probably offensive to their jewish fans who couldn't go last night i'm sure

01:21that's a storyline somewhere i also know that they didn't mean it by any disrespect no they're just

01:26getting ready for an attempt to get to a world series and win it but that's awesome i just wonder

01:32who won the game but i gotta tell you i think that's awesome like we need more of that and for

01:37all the negative stuff myself included that we put out there about philadelphia as a sports town and

01:43the unforgiving nature of being a philadelphia and look and you guys know i did sports talk radio in

01:47philly from 93 to 97 and then again a few years later so i have a really good handle on the

01:53philadelphia sports fan and frankly i was beloved in philadelphia as well much like i have here in

01:58new york city not as much now not as much as much now when ray rhodes was the head coach of the eagles

02:04people loved me that's right back in the day but i just think that's awesome man and that's what sports

02:09does for all the all the negativity out there all the stuff people bickering back and forth and

02:14republicans and democrats and all the other stuff that's going on that video right there to me is

02:20pure and it's perfect and shocking that of all the towns to do it it's the one that we attack the

02:28most philadelphia because i don't know if the yankees or mets i'd like to think they would have

02:34but i can't guarantee it that if either one of those teams or if the dodgers did it or the clubs did

02:40it i'd like to think those fans would show up and maybe they would yeah but philly did it

02:46i'd say everybody else doing it right they did it big and they did it in a big way and people showed

02:50up and they got they had the whole thing the jumbotron going the music going concessions

02:55they treated it like a game so yeah i just i just saw a really good job by philly i'm being told that

03:00the seattle mariners did it as well credit to them and only 19 people came which is really crazy

03:06and i think even itro made an appearance there and even played right field for half an inning

03:10see let's see that see that's cute but that's fake and that's fake because he's not playing this

03:14weekend right like to me that's getting too cute that's like wanting to just have an all-star

03:19softball game and bring back derrick jeter right
