The news in the coming days will be dominated by Ed Snider (rightfully so), but here’s the rest from the weekend.

Let’s hit it!

Franco

Mortgage. That there is Franco D’Angelo, and he is the best mortgage guy around. If you’re even thinking about buying a house, or wondering if you can, give Franco a call and get a free screening and quote. I’ve worked with him on two mortgages now, and he’s guided me through what can be a confusing process, especially if you’re self-employed. His job is to find you a mortgage and a great rate. If you’re even thinking about buying, give him a call to see what you can afford. Good dude– Philly sports fan. Well, three out of four at least.

The roundup:

Our stuff:

Flyers playoff schedule.

Josh Harris press conference recap.

Club Risque is sponsoring a tee-ball team.

This Sixers fan had Allen Iverson step over him in a luxury box.

The Sixers made a fan remove his Sam Hinkie jersey.

 

Villanova was honored by both the Flyers and Sixers this weekend, and they’ll likely be honored by the Phillies at some point. And, for some reason, that inspired this Tweet from Flyers beat writer and ultimate curmudgeon Rob Parent:

Blow me. The irony of tweeting this about Villanova being honored by that pathetic excuse for a pro basketball franchise, which has 10 wins and only a handful more than Nova at the Wells Fargo Center this season despite, you know, playing there 41 times, is so, so rich. Comparing Villanova’s National Championship to Taney falling two games short of a Little League World Series title (however impressive and fun their run was) shows exactly the type of humorless pricks who cover the Flyers. Villanova just won the National Championship in incredibly impressive fashion, beating four top 10 teams and winning on what will go down as one of the greatest shots in basketball history (not college basketball… basketball), and Parent is bitching about them being honored by a few of the local pro teams who could probably learn a thing or two from their collegiate counterparts? Man, go fuck yourself.

 

Is this one of the biggest jersey violations of all-time? Has to be, right?

This is from last week. Working title– Michael Barkann can’t see black guys in the dark:

 

A whole bunch of Crying Jordans for the Bruins missing the playoffs.

 

Speaking of…

Just an epic collapse by Spieth to lose to that mugging wanker who douchily removed his sweater before his final shot for better photo ops. Meanwhile, Spieth at 12 will go down as one of the worst holes in golf history.

Idle thought: Is Billy Payne, Chairman of August National Golf Club (which I can only assume is a contractually-mandated way to refer to him), the biggest egomaniac in all of sports? He makes ESPN and CBS air that legends tee-off at least, what, once per day? As far as I can tell, they’re not even allowed to air it live. ESPN had to wait about 30 minutes on Thursday morning so they could edit it up and make Payne and Augusta look just flawless. And then he has to get his silly airtime doing those forced promos and standing by himself in Butler Cabin before Nantz takes over and gives us the most awkward award ceremony in sports. I love the Masters, but their stuffy-ness is off the charts.

 

Steph Curry fell on the floor when he heard about fellow UA guy Spieth’s collapse:

Curry not the only NBA player used in Apple commercials:

This will be good:

 

This is one of the best Villanova videos I’ve seen:

 

Here’s Stephen King complaining about the net at Fenway. I assume he saw the Red Sox fan who was almost impaled last year?

 

Pat Summitt’s son allegedly impregnating a player is one of my favorite sports stories of the year. Is that bad?

 

 

Warriors announcer calls Spurs fan jerkoffs.
