Wow, I've never seen so many people jump ship...

I'm gonna have to go with the Philly fan on this one, honestly.

It's one loss. We still have control of the series with home ice advantage, and it took the Flyers OT just to get a win over us. Not worried yet.

 

[STEAL]

Thats OK. Here in Chicago we dont have fake heroes like Rocky Balboa. We have real heroes like Michael Jordan.

BTW, complaining isnt the same thing as jumping ship. Im pretty sure that people will continue watching in spite of the concerns people are expressing.

I didn't know Dr. J, Bernie Parent and Bobby Clarke were fictional. Saying Rocky Balboa is a Philly icon is like saying the giant bean in downtown Chicago is an icon. Just because tourists idolize a statue doesn't mean the locals do too. I don't know how many times I've rolled my eyes while passing the art museum because somebody was flailing their arms around and jumping at the top of the steps.

As a matter of fact, I've never seen any of the Rocky's.

Who is that? Did they co-author a self-help book?

Giant bean?

Just because tourists idolize a statue doesn't mean the locals do too.

Did tourists put the statue there?

Yeah, I saw something about how this can be annoying in the additonal material to the last Rocky movie.

As a matter of fact, I've never seen any of the Rocky's.

If you ever decide to watch them, Id avoid Rocky 5 and maybe a few that preceded it...but especially Rocky 5. The first one is a classic and the last one was good too.

You sure you're not one of those people running up the steps and punching an invisible punching bag? For some reason, I can picture you doing that pretty much everyday.

I thought the 'Hawks would win in 5, losing game 3 in Philly and finishing it out at home. Nothing I've seen has changed that prediction.

Don't you dare question the greatness of the bean in Chicago. I will rip your lungs out.

This is a fight i would like to see

No, Stallone did for a movie.

Before Rocky III, released in 1982, Sylvester Stallone commissioned A. Thomas Schomberg to create a bronze statue of Rocky.[5] Three 2-ton, 10-foot copies were cast. One was installed atop the steps for the filming of Rocky III and was ultimately relocated at the bottom of the steps. The other was later listed on eBay with a starting bid of US$5,000,000 to raise funds for the International Institute for Sport and Olympic History, but has failed to sell at that price or several times since at $1 million.[6]
After filming was complete, a debate erupted in Philadelphia between the Art Museum and the City's Art Commission over the meaning of "art." City officials, who argued that the statue was not "art" but a "movie prop," eventually moved it to the front of the Wachovia Spectrum in South Philadelphia.
It was later returned to the Art Museum for the filming of Rocky V, Mannequin and Philadelphia, then brought back to the Spectrum. The statue was replaced with a simple set of Converse sneaker footprints with words reading "Rocky" above them.
On September 8, 2006, the Rocky statue was returned again to the Art Museum and placed on a pedestal in a grassy area near the foot of the steps to the right of the Museum. The unveiling ceremony included live music, the debut of the first full trailer for Rocky Balboa, and a free showing of the first Rocky movie. At the ceremony, Mayor John Street said that the steps were one of Philly's biggest tourist attractions, and that Stallone, a native New Yorker, had been gladly adopted by Philadelphia.
In Rocky Balboa, when Rocky told Paulie that he is going to make a come back, Paulie suggested "You mad because they took down your statue?" which Rocky denied.

This is why people were nervous. The Flyers have been the better team.

 

[tbo41fan]

Hopefully this wakes up some hawks fans so they stop putting the hawks on a pedestal and decreeing them the greatest team ever
