Connor Barwin, while being a card-carrying member of the Everymen, is one of the more respected athletes in Philly. He bikes, rides SEPTA, hosts concerts for charity, and a ton more. So when we heard he was visiting Amtrak victims at Temple University Hospital with Mark Sanchez, it wasn’t surprising. But according to Barwin, it was all Sanchez’s idea. As he said yesterday on Breakfast on Broad:
“It was Mark’s idea. We were all obviously talking about it in the locker room that morning and it was Mark’s idea to go visit the hospital. Obviously I ride that train a lot, Mark rides that train a lot from being in New York. And he just thought it’d be good to show some support. It was great to talk to everyone at the hospital, and then we did get to see some of the victims that were still in the hospital. It was really nice … it was cool to kinda hear their story and talk to them.”
So Sanchez brought food and it was his idea? What a guy.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
