We’re #1! We’re #1!
That’s right. Who says Philly sports teams can’t be #1?
ESPN just voted us the #1 city in a sports slump! Take that, Atlanta (who ended up #2).
ESPN says:
No four-professional-team city has gone as long as Philly without winning a title. There hasn’t been a championship parade on Broad Street since Moses Malone led the Sixers to the 1982-83 title. The Eagles came close in 2004, but fell to the Patriots in the Super Bowl. The Phillies reached the postseason this year for the first time since 1993. And the Flyers have been consistent regular-season performers who instantly melt down in the playoffs. Local hero Smarty Jones almost won the Triple Crown, but like the pro teams, couldn’t seal the deal, finishing second in the Belmont Stakes after winning the Kentucky Derby and Preakness.
Good ol’ Philly. It’s home.

Is it any wonder? We’re also the fattest and ugliest city as well.
