5 out of 5 stars Awesome!   January 17, 2004
 6 out of 8 found this review helpful

Great Book! I am proud to say I live in Philly! The fans are THE BEST. It is hard to explain if you do not live here. I go to many cities to watch the Eagles play and Philly fans do not compare to any other city. PASSION! PASSION!

Great book Glen and Cuz!


4 out of 5 stars At long last, somebody understands us ...   January 8, 2004

Dear Glen and Anthony,

I write this (knowing full-well that at some point you'll both read it) to give you both a sincere 'thank you' for, finally, portraying the Philadelphia sports fan with the reverent nod that they deserve.

After close to a hundred years of national misunderstanding, at long last, you both have brought a sense of perspective and appreciation for what it truly means to be a sports fan in the city of brotherly love. It's terrific to see that two people who "get it" are (at long last) getting a national platform to tell the world why our city's fans are the best!

I wish you both continued success!

PS- Glenn - I will not sign this as Mr. Gargano


5 out of 5 stars Great book for the Philly fans   January 2, 2004

What a great book to read. Tries to explain the psyche of the Phialdelphia fan (good luck). The sections on the real Santa incidient, Buddy Ryan, and Norman Braman are outstanding. Even the acknowledgemets had me laughing. A must have for a Philly sports fan.


5 out of 5 stars The Cuz & Mac deliver!   December 18, 2003

I am a diehard Philadelphia fan currently attending Drexel. If your a Philadelphia sports fan this is a must have. It captures all of the greatest and not so greatest sports moments, including my highschool Bonner in one section. Gargano, the cuz, is one of the nicest people you will ever meet and Macnow knows as much about the city as anyone. I did not put the book down untill I read it from cover to cover. If your a sports fan, BUY THIS BOOK!!!

As a devoted Philadelphia fan, one who only supports my favorite Philly teams, I was in the bookstore looking for gifts for some of my buds. This book called to me like a gift from god. Somehow, Macnow and Gargano really capture everything that is a philadelphia fan -- the pain of loss, and the spirit of the city. Somehow they pull together every one of those great philly sports moments into one great book. I recommend this for anyone's x-mas or holiday present -- male, female, young, old. This is possibly the best book i've ever read.

Trust me, this is one purchase you'll never regret.

Macnow and Gargano are amazing.
