When it comes to sports talk, no city has more to say than Philadelphia. Its fans are widely regarded as some of the most dedicated, outspoken, and impassioned sports enthusiasts in the country. Ask any Philly fan a sports-related question and you'll undoubtedly find yourself in the middle of a lively, heated debate. While Philly's fans never lie dormant, they are especially fired up right now following a long-awaited Super Bowl victory (the city's first -- have you heard?!) that sparked city-wide, year-long celebrations; young talent breathing new life into every team; and new coaches, players, and management shaking things up and sparking new debates. In this completely revised and updated edition of their 2007 book, WIP sports radio hosts Glen Macnow and Big Daddy Graham have compiled dozens of new lists to stir up controversy and settle bets within the already-buzzing Philadelphia sports community (and beyond), ranking things like: The most overrated and underrated players in Philly sports historyThe top 10 Philadelphia sports quotesThe 10 worst Eagles draft picks everThe greatest duos in Philly sports historyThe 10 best sports movies set in PhiladelphiaThe worst bosses in Philly sports historyand much more!
