Micah sure loves Philly

[Hardline]

We have no 5th round pick next year. If you trade Micah you could probably get back into the 5th round.

I would trade Parsons for the 1st overall pick. And then select Caleb Williams.

I mean, if Micah wanted to be an Eagle he would have said so in the lead up to his draft. The Eagles were picking right behind the Cowboys before their draft night trade up.

HE WILL BE AN EAGLE BEFORE HE RETIRES

Frankly, I’m sure he’s an Eagles fan too.

why do people keep saying this when we know it's not true....

 

[Joe Realist]

It's ALL good..... Dakota and CeeDee cheating too

State college is pretty much in the middle of nowhere in the "northern middle west" part of the state. 2.5 hr drive to Pittsburgh and a little more than 3 hours to Philly (mostly due to highways and traffic). As noted, anything "west" in Pa you have more steelers fans than eagles fans. However, Harrisburg is definitely philly area.

You also have to remember the scale of the state. Texas is over 261k square miles vs Pa's 44K square miles.

Harrisburg is not Philly area at all. I'm a truck driver in Pa.

He is from PA. It’s a sixers playoff game.

There is nothing strange about it at all.

As a Celtics fan this is just very troubling!!!

Like your draft posts...

Well, turned out I was right. IE no one knew what they were talking about not picking Mazi.

He went to PSU for less than a quarter of his life. He grew up in Harrisburg.

I've always called the town at PSU State college.

Generally, people on the east side of the state root for philly, and people on the west side root for Pittsburgh. Maps can always help for distances between locations on a simple scale

Here is an interesting concept... sometimes fans of your "bitterness rivals" are actually OK people and can treat you with respect. I think the same can be said of professional athletes. The few select kids who become NFL stars probably eat it up going back to their home. Without looking at the stats, I'd be certain that Texas is up there on the percentage of kids who play in the NFL vs other states. Micah made this news because he is a now pretty much a star in the NFL.

Please note, I'm not originally from Pennsylvania, but I did go to high school and college there.

Interesting story regarding State College, PA. In the early 50’s, the new President of Penn State University, Milton Eisenhower, wanted the town to change its name to University Park, a more fitting name, as Penn State had become a huge university. Citizens balked at changing the town’s name. So Milton decided to create University Park, by getting the campus its own US Post Office. He contacted his brother Dwight and he got his post office. The “town”, now next to the campus, is State College, PA. It has lots of bars.

Poor Aiden Diggs is going to be confused by this video. Who is the real Mahomes?

Region of sports influence I think they’re implying. It’s within “Philly Nation” or whatever you want to call it. Like how all of South Dakota is Vikings territory

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Who in the world cares as long as he gives the Cowboys all he's got. Landry ended up a Giants fan.

 

[gimmesix]

Micah went to Penn State.

Where is Penn State located?

The U.S.?

And all of the U.S. is Cowboys territory.

 

[gimmesix]

So, you are claiming you are serious on this one?

Micah did say something to that effect, but the rest from Risen is just sarcasm.

That sounds nice and all, but most of these millionaire players don’t care about rivalries as much as fans do. We have cared about our respective teams a lot longer than just their few year stretch on it. A player here or there may take it to heart, but most don’t. Sad but true

They sure don't. And he's also from there. As long as he goes after them while he's on the field then I have nothing to say. And he seems to do a better job than most at that.
