LD watches a lot of Eagle games due to local Fox broadcasting habits, and let me tell you, the signs of Wentz decline were there in 2019. When he came back the following year there was some manufactured QB controversy that mainly centered around trolls and middle aged Italian dads preferring Nick Foles to Carson Wentz. When the Eagles won the Super Bowl in 2017, Carson Wentz had an MVP caliber year before tearing his ACL late in the season. LD has unbiasedly observed Eagles twitter have a complete puzzle of their own making on their hands with the current “Carson Wentz stinks out loud” situation. To continue with Philly, the whole reason LD brought up this blog right now isn’t to just shit all over one specific bad take guy, but to put a magnifying glass over the habits of local sports twitter in general. It wasn’t an ironic “ha ha we’re Philly we boo!” type deal like when Goodell gets it in the draft either. The fans booed the Eagles going into half time in the first game post Super Bowl win. ![]() How old Drew thought he could get away with this in PHILADELPHIA is beyond me. Then the SECOND Fultz was traded for peanuts, he comes crashing back down to our reality. Drew tweeted day in and day out about how Markelle Fultz was low key goated and gonna be the hesi hey god in no time at all. As we all know now, through the lens of hindsight, Markelle Fultz ended up being a beyond terrible pick! My issue comes from these homer sports twitter account doofuses like Drew Corrigan, who never ONCE move off the perch of backing their guy. That’s no crime! Trading up for the first overall pick is always exciting stuff. This man was IN LOVE with Markelle Fultz from the moment he was drafted by the Sixers. A perfect example LD can give you actually comes from the man Drew himself. They have podcasts they are pushing, are constantly trying to put out well thought out observations on the team, but at the end of the day they are no better then glorified cheerleaders. These guys present themselves are analysts. LD has talked at LENGTH about how he can’t stand people who basically root against their favorite teams, but the Drew Corrigan’s of the world take it to a whole new level in the opposite direction. He makes all the biggest most obvious references, talks about local teams with such broad strokes he feels like a national reporter, and worst of all these guys are bigger homers then Bill Simmons. A “Drew Corrigan” is a guy who roots for his sports team like a Bleacher Report twitter account. ![]() A young man by the name of Drew Corrigan, who Philadelphia talk radio royalty Spike Eskin correctly pegged as “the thirstiest man on twitter.” LD is very certain every single online sports community has Drew Corrigan’s in them, hell Philly ALREADY has a second Drew Corrigan on their hands (I’m looking at you Victor Williams). ![]() This takes us to the subject of today’s blog. Since LD resides in South Jersey, even though he isn’t an Eagles fan/Sixers fan he is incredibly knowledgeable in both those online fandoms, and is quiet ensconced in them. LD is connected to the Packers, Arsenal and Timberwolves twitter communities despite living far from all those physical locations. It’s very easy to see this in action in the great wide world of twitter sports. Social media allows communication and connection on an unparalleled world wide scale. We tend to only think about the selfie obsessed and the bullying that can happen on these apps, and we forget all the positives that have came from them, that we now take for granted. Social media gets hated on a lot in today’s society, with us mostly concentrating on the negatives that have sprouted up in recent years.
