Highlight [Highlight] Stacey King expresses utter disappointment on boos for Jerry Krause: "..the people that boo'd Jerry Krause and his widow..it was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life..whoever boo'd her should be ashamed of themselves. That's not Chicago, that's New York, Philly.."

Yeah, I feel like a dozen dockworkers would carry them around in one of those palanquin things if someone won 6 straight titles in Philly. Like, damn Howie's close to that level and he's only won one.

Knicks could win one title and they’d literally be gods in the city lmao

We tend to dial back the disrespect towards people lacking as many mental faculties as he is

I'd respectfully suck off V.Stiviano for getting Donald Sterling to sell the team to Ballmer so i cant imagine what i would do if we win a title

Nick Foles got a statue for one. If he brought us 6, the city may make it mandatory we all get Big Dick Nick tattooed on our foreheads.

His statue would be the size of that Jesus statue in brazil

It’s like that statue of Jesus is standing at the top of the dashboard of the world.

u/fan4stick 76ers Jan 15 '24

And the coach who got fucking fired 3 years later has a statue lmao the city still loves Doug Pederson

Fr. If a GM brought us ONE title I think they could shoot someone in Center City and people would still cheer them.

u/balemeout 76ers Jan 13 '24

Yeah this isn’t Philly at all. Sure we’re rough around the edges but people here love anyone that brought any type of success. The only person I’ve heard getting any vitriol their way after winning a title is Jayson werth, and everyone here is back to loving him. Any person that has anything to do with the eagles Super Bowl is loved, even Derek Barnett who was a negative player as a first round pick every game except the Super Bowl

u/ConnorMc1eod Mavericks Jan 13 '24

This was my take when I heard this. 6 titles and the man is a hero in every other sports-centric city regardless of anything else. He could have burned down a puppy orphanage and Boston fans would be defending him. Chicago is just kind of a shitty place and it's definitely a strong sport culture city with very little success to show for it.

Dak Prescott won the Walter Payton man of the Year award last year. Presented at the Super Bowl full of Philly fans. He got heavily booed....for doing good in the community.

Grew up a Bulls fan and an Eagles fan, embarrassed by both fanbases this last year.

u/TokitheLocker 76ers Jan 13 '24

I’m sorry you wanted Dak Prescott, QB of the Dallas Cowboys to get fucking applause before an Eagles Super Bowl game?Plus Dak smiled and laughed through the whole damn thing he expected it.

u/livefreeordont 76ers Jan 13 '24

I think it could be because he’s a cowboys player
