Go back to Chicago Pat.
June 8, 2010 • 1:36 pm • POSTED BY mprescottIt’s a beautiful day in Philadelphia. The sun is shining, the humidity is low, and the Philadelphia Flyers are two games away from a Stanley Cup title. Leave it to Chicago’s WGN sports anchor Pat Tomasulo to mess it up.
Walking down Broad Street I spotted a man wearing white gloves and carrying a large case up to the historic Union League stairs, while being followed by a tv crew. Thanks to the Phillies, I now know the elements of transporting Championship trophies- cameras, white gloves, and an absurdly large protective case.
Immediately I shot a photo on my blackberry. I mean, it’s only natural that the most coveted trophy in the National Hockey League would be in Philadelphia for Wednesday’s game six against the Blackhawks since if they win, the trophy will be theirs (BOO!).
Turns out I was duped by a lowly Chicago sports anchor. When I noticed he was wearing white gloves to simply carry the case, and then saw him put said case on the ground to take a photo with me, I was suspicious. But when I saw him pass the Union League and drop the case after hitting the railing of the Banana Republic, I knew I’d let my Flyers spirit get the best of me.
Like every Flyers fan I hate the Blackhawks, but now I hate Pat Tomasulo as well.
