The Worst of Philadelphia, 2020 Edition: Final Four (With a Huge Upset)
We began with 16 and now we’re down to four.
Only one can be crowned the absolute worst of Philadelphia, and it’s getting pretty tight as the cream of the crop rises to the top. Three #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four on the strength of the general abhorrence they invoke, but we did have an Elite Eight upset, with a pre-tournament favorite being knocked out by a #3 seed in shocking fashion.
To the results:
Alright it’s time to continue voting on the “Worst of Philadelphia” 2020 bracket. We’re down to the Elite Eight, which begins with a matchup between the #1 overall seed, the Schuylkill Expressway, vs. the #3 seed, pot holes and sink holes. Which is worse?

The Schuylkill Expressway is our defending champion, and it put up a strong showing, knocking out potholes and sink holes with 65% of the vote. The expressway is kind of like the Duke Blue Devils. You absolutely hate them but you begrudgingly accept the fact that they’re pretty damn tough.
In the Fishtown regional:
And in today’s second matchup, it’s the #1 seed in the Fishtown regional, “City Wage Tax,” vs. the #3 seed, “Wawa haters.”
Both of these things cause unnecessary headaches.

The wage tax was a 2018 finalist and cruised past Wawa haters. I bet they’ll still complain about the “different bread” and “low-quality” lunchmeat, however, not realizing that people go to Wawa for convenience and familiarity.
Continuing…
Alright we’ve got two more matchups in the Elite Eight before we narrow it down to a Final Four in our “Worst of Philadelphia” bracket.
Today we’ve got a #1 seed, “Josina Anderson and her Eagles snitch,” vs. a #2 seed, “trash everywhere.”
Which is worse?

Josina and her snitch are a threat to win it all.
The meddling pair put in a comprehensive performance in dispatching the #2 seed, “trash everywhere.” Josina is looking to be crowned “Worst of Philadelphia” for the first time ever.
Finally, a huge upset here:
And on the other side of the bracket, it’s another #1 seed, the vile and despicable Philadelphia Parking Authority, facing a formidable challenge in the #3 seed, Angelo Cataldi’s fake outrage:

Angelo Cataldi’s fake outrage with a statement victory over the Philadelphia Parking Authority.
Some people may have been underestimating the faux-indignation emanating from 2400 Market Street. Similar to the Coronavirus, we probably did not take this #3 seed seriously as a title-contender.
Here’s your updated bracket, with two monstrous Final Four matchups. That Josina Anderson/Angelo Cataldi contest is an absolute behemoth:
