Brandon Graham - Currently the Longest-Tenured Athlete in Philadelphia
https://section215.com/2022/04/03/philadelphia-eagles-happy-birthday-bg/
Philly is one of the toughest towns for athletes to thrive long-term. BG's NFL run will make him a fixture in Philly and Ann Arbor for the rest of his life.
Here's to hoping 34-year-old BG bounces back from his Week 2 Achilles injury and returns to Pro Bowl form. May he strip-sack TB12 to win the NFC Championship game this upcoming January.
And in other news, stuff happened somewhere to someone.
Welcome to the off-season, you crazy son of a b.
I guess that is right. August feels like a long way off
"Philly is one of the toughest towns for athletes to thrive long-term."
Philadelphia has an odd reputation that I attribute more to East Coast hype than reality. Honestly, what is so difficult about being an athlete there? Salty, demanding fans? They exist in multiple cities. I'm not buying the hype.
I'm with you. DOWN WITH THE HYPE
Yeah as a Philly native I was trying to think if I agree. Weird guys like Wentz and Ben Simmons get run out of town pretty quick, but if solid tough players can last a long time. I'm not sure that is much different than most towns. Philly is just more vocal. Like of city full of Mike Valenti's.
To be fair, Ben Simmons is a pathetic loser who deserves to be run out of every town.
So who's the longest-tenured athlete in Detroit?
Stevie Y?
Probably Miggy? He's been in Detroit since 2008
Take that Winston, you pathetic excuse for a human being!!!!!!
