On The WooderBoys this week, Gary and I talked about our top 5 hated former Philly athletes, inspired by Ben Simmons leaving Philadelphia:

This topic got the conversation going in the comments:

Al Horford was an absolute miss by us. T.O. was a miss. But Orlando Scandrick? Scandrick had a cup of coffee here. He’s a nobody. I’m not wasting time putting Scandrick on my list when we actually have former athletes that contributed or altered the landscape of Philly sports. Gary thought I was crazy for adding DeMarco Murray. Murray signed a 5 yr/$40 million deal and purposely avoided a 185 pound DB. I hate that entire 2015 team.

I’ll also defend my Carson Wentz pick because I didn’t know how many people still had an affinity for Wentz (Gary included). He was supposed to be the 15 year franchise QB and quit when it got tough. He was making plans to escape Philadelphia the moment he was benched against the Packers. McNabb was benched in 2008 and responded by winning the next 6 of 7 and leading the Birds to the NFC Championship. He still gets a ton of shit in this town! “But he won 11 games and got us a #1 seed in the playoffs.” If you think Wentz was beating the Patriots I got beach front property in Iowa to sell you. He showed you his character in the face of adversity. Jake Elliott’s ball is through the uprights before he even thinks about calling for Philly Philly on 4th down. I don’t care if we received a 1st round pick from the Colts and he’s no longer our problem. I will forever root against Carson Wentz.

P.S. Fuck Andrew Bynum too. How did we not see how bad that was going to turn out? –
