Philadelphia sports teams are having a hard time winning in the month of October. The Phillies, Eagles and Flyers have all not won a game this month. Today isFriday the 16th and it doesn’t look like our teams are on the right track.

The Eagles had 24 players on their injury report on Thursday, 24!! Now their starting Quarterback, Jalen Hurts, is out with a blood clot in his calf, and the Eagles season is in peril.

The Flyers lost again to the Detroit RedWings on Thursday night , in a 2-1 final score, and now have a 0-6-3 recirdm and are in the midst of their worst starts in team history. We can’t wait for the Sixers to start their season. The 76ers open up against the reigning NBA champion New York Knicks on Tuesday the 20th of October at Madison Square Garden. The Flyers next opportunity to get a win is Saturday night against the Ottawa Senators at 7pm - This can’t continue!!
