Providing my take on sports, TV, movies and just about everything in between. All of it comes with a sarcastic edge. Get used to that.

Hurka Does Sports: Top 100 Philadelphia Athletes of All Time: #80-71
Someone do me a favor and remind me to post updates on this list more than once a month, could you please? Seriously though, I know it's been a while again, but life just hasn't been all that accommodating, what with the hurricane and work and what not. Plus, the Eagles have been horrible lately, and the last thing that I've wanted to do is think about that team any more. Regardless, let's get this started again with numbers 80 through 71.

Hurka Does Sports: Top 100 Philadelphia Athletes of All Time: #90-81
Ok, so it's been a little while since I last posted an update to this list. Work, coupled with the start of football season/end of baseball season has left me with little time for updating on here, but that's hopefully going to change with today's post. We continue the list of top Philadelphia Athletes with our next ten members. Let's get started.

Hurka Does Booze: Drinking Football
The NFL season is just about to start, and while there are plenty of Giants and Cowboys fans out there getting ready for this game tonight, there are more football fans that are looking for a reason to enjoy the game. That's where Drinking Football comes in.
Hurka Does Sports: Top 100 Philadelphia Athletes of All Time: #100-91
With the NFL season starting tonight, there's no better time to get this list started. Despite the lack of championships in Philadelphia in my lifetime, there have been some tremendous athletes that have come through this city. Ever since the Phillies started playing baseball back in 1883, fans have had their favorite players and have debated who is the best. This list is here to help answer that. It's not a perfect science, but it's here for you to look over and debate as well. With that, let's get started. It's going to be a fun ride.

We have a winner!
The votes have been cast, and I've got my next topic to write about. I had a feeling that this topic would win, considering most of the people that read this are Philadelphia sports fans. With that in mind, I will be writing about the Top 100 Philadelphia Sports Athletes of all Time.
Now, there are a couple of ground rules that I'm going to lay down right now, so if you have any issues with my list, refer back to this post to see why I'm doing what I'm doing.
First of all, this is going to be a list of professional athletes from the four main teams that are in Philadelphia today. That means there will be no college athletes or members of the Philadelphia Athletics on this list. There were some that could have been put on here if I had gone that route, but I decided against it. My list, my rules.
Second, when it comes to the Phillies and their over 100 year history, it was a little bit tougher. When it came down to it, I left off just about every player before 1900 and I only have a few on the list from before baseball was integrated. There's a few reasons for that. The game of baseball changed so much after integration that the numbers before 1947 aren't necessarily the most accurate. The other thing is that the Phillies weren't that good before the Whiz Kids came around back in 1950. Don't expect too many pre-1950s Phillies to be on this list.
Finally, there are some athletes that you might think should be on this list that won't be. I'm going to get some honorable mentions out of the way right now. Here are some athletes that you won't see on the list.

What do you want to see me post next?
Alright, it's late on a Friday morning, I may have had a few beers to drink and the Sixers may or may not have traded for Andrew Bynum, but I want to ask all of the people that check my blog out a question.
What should I write about next?
I've got all kinds of different options available to me, all of them being entertaining. I'm leaving it up to you, in a two week poll, to tell me what you want to see. I'll update before that with different things, and if there is a runaway winner, I'll go with that choice. Here's what I have as options right now.
UFC Events: I have every UFC Pay Per View ever. I'm not joking. I can watch them all and break them down as only I can.
Old School WWE Events: Likewise, I also have a collection of the "Big 4" WWE events. If you want to read my recaps on those, vote there.
Rewatches of Hell's Kitchen: Probably my favorite reality show. Nothing beats a British man cursing at Americans that can't cook. I'd start from season one and go from there.
Rewatch of an old TV Show: If it's Lost, 24, something along those lines, then I'll have no problem. Something too complicated, then there might be a problem.
Rewatch of an old TV Show: If it's Lost, 24, something along those lines, then I'll have no problem. Something too complicated, then there might be a problem.
Long Running Reality Show Rewatch: I'm thinking Survivor here. It's 20 something seasons long. Please, don't make me write that much. It'll take me three years. You can if you want to, though.
Another Top 100 List: The next one would be Top 100 Philadelphia Sports Athletes. I'm not sure if it would be during my lifetime or all time. I would work with that.
So there you go, those are your choices. There's a poll over ----------->>>> in that general direction, so please vote! I want to know what you want to see next!!
