Here’s for the next 100

Posted by Chris Stover on May 21, 2008

Sports Illustrated has put together a slideshow commemorating 100 season in Philadelphia sports history without a championship. Found this courtesy of TTN’s new Web editor Dave Isaac (Photo courtesy Sports Illustrated.)

This 20-page photo slideshow allows us to relive the past missteps, mishaps and misery of the past 100 seasons of the four big teams - Phillies, Sixers, Flyers and Eagles.

It truly is an embarrassing thing to view, chronicling 25 years of Philadelphia sports blunders. Apparently, that’s a record for a four-sports town.

Just like the Phils’ 10,000th loss last year - this is only one more milestone to check off the list.

    100 years of combined ineptitude is mind-boggling to think of, especially for a great sports town like Philly.

    Does anybody else see the Flyers, Eagles, Phillies or 76ers ending this championship-won drought any time soon?

    Cause I sure don’t.
