Well apparently it’s not just a connecticut-based cable sports network that likes to perpetuate the old stories about Philly sports fans. Philly.com had link to this extraordinary piece of lazy journalism on the part of the LA Times. His potential breakdown of the series is also a great example of “homer” sports writing. Thanks for…
