WENTZ THE LOSER
It’s too bad that Carson Wentz pulled a Ryan Howard. He reneged on a professional athlete’s most important promise – keeping yourself in shape to play the game and do what you have to do you. It’s like Ryan Howard eating his way out of millions of dollars. Anybody that plays football knows that when you run the ball down there inside of the five, when you lay down to go over the goal line, you’ve got to bring your knees up to protect your knees. Where’d you play football, Carson Wentz? Someplace can’t tackle, where they don’t hit, where you don’t play with monsters. You paid the price, pal. You’d not going to make it back. You’ll come back too soon and you’ll get hurt again. Mark my words. I know what it’s like to have a wrecked knee.
WE’RE THE BEST
Kudos to the Daily Times for not doubling their newsstand price the day after the Super Bowl like some others. The Daily Times – a true people paper.
FRIENDS IN NEED
I would like to thank two very nice ladies who helped me when my car stopped running on Sellers Avenue in Ridley Park. I walked to find a telephone I could borrow and I was lucky enough to find these ladies in a new salon on Sellers. The owner Michelle and her assistant Lauren were so nice and helpful. Lauren drove me to my repair shop on Springfield Avenue in Folsom. And thank you to Len, the owner at the repair
shop. There are so many good people out there.
A VERY GRATEFUL LADY
PAUL WHO?
To “Know It All,” Paul Mango’s accomplishments in life mean nothing to these leftist callers. They like to talk about “facts” and call everybody an ideologue, not realizing – or blocking out of their minds – that they’re huge ideologues themselves.
DOUBLE STANDARDS
TIRED OF WINNING!
A caller asks why we are having a parade and celebrate winning. What world is this person living in? Winning is everything. Sure, it’s how you play the game – you play fair, but you play to win. Everybody keep score. Everybody.
PLAYING GAMES
I agree with “Magic Mike In Havertown.” I want to see an Eagles-Pats rematch and want the Eagles to get that 2-1 edge.
GO BIRDS!
TOM THE HAS-BEEN
After watching the Eagles highlights the day of the parade, I realized what a poor sport Tom Brady was. He looked like someone took away his bat and ball the way side on the bench sulking after the game. He has six Super Bowl rings. He only has eight fingers for crying out loud. He is a has-been as far as I am concerned. All of the Eagles and their employees showed what a first-class team looks like at the parade. They looked fantastic and they made Philadelphia proud. I am
and always have been an Eagles fan.
GRATEFUL FAN
TRY TRY AGAIN
Here’s a question for you folks at the Times: You get an order to write an article, you don’t think you got it right, and you ask your editor for a second try. Then a third try, then a fourth and fifth. How long would that reporter have a job? But this week our government was going for their fifth stopgap measure for the budget. The American public doesn’t care. “Sure, waste our money.” Let’s keep paying them for wasting time arguing on a budget when they should have got it done the first time and been on to other issues. Someone needs to put a microphone up to a politician’s face and ask why they can get away with work habits that would get you fired anywhere else. UGGHH
NOT TIRED OF WINNING
To “Lose No More,” the old Grantland Rice adage of “it’s not if you win or lose, it’s how you play the game” was good back when kids weren’t brought up in an everybody-gets-a-trophy, nobody-keeps-score world. That was good to hear when you were taught to play with heart and lose with grace. To get things back on track, I think for the 20 years or so it would benefit America’s youth to hear more of the “Red” Sanders school of thought: “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.”
LIVE TO WIN
