History of Eagles Jerseys and Eagle Watch Party on Monday Night

eaglesjerseys

There is no quizzo on Monday night. The Eagles game will be on and everyone in Philly will be watching it, no matter how distraught they are about Shady McCoy’s tips at burger joints. But just because we called off quizzo for the night doesn’t mean we called off the fun. We’ve got a really cool event going down before the quiz, as Peter Capolino, the former owner of Mitchell and Ness, is going to show us various uniforms the Eagles have worn through the years. We did one of these in August with Phillies jerseys and it was awesome.  So we’re extremely excited to have Peter back to talk Birds.

After the talk, we’re going to head over to Field House to watch the game on their big screen TV and do a Chinese auction, where we’ll be giving away shirts and other prizes when the Eagles score. We did it for the WOrld Cup and had a lot of fun, and it will be similar for the Birds game. That will kick off at 8 p.m. So let’s get together on Monday night, even when we’re not answering questions, and watch the Birds. Hope to see ya then!

Sandman to Host Tonight


The Sandman is gonna fill in for me tonight. As some of you have noticed the past few nights, I’ve been shuffling around rather slowly. I have a condition the professionals call Ole Slew Foot, which has made walking painful. Anyways, I’m gonna stay off my feet tonight and the Sandman will fill in. Meaning no French Fry face-off, but there will still be JGTAI points on the line. So get your butts to the Industry at 6:30 p.m. and the Bards at 9 p.m. The Sandman does a good job. You’ll dig it. And hopefully my enormous Hulk Foot will reduce in size in time for next week.

Quizzo Tonight

After our Comcast Quiz, we move to O’Neals at 8 p.m. Great chance to open the Fall season with a win. $3.50 margaritas and Mexican beers, and $5 burritos, made by the most beloved chef on South Street, Mohammad.

On to City Tap House at 10:15 p.m. The kids are back in town. How will they handle tonight’s quiz? A music audio round, and an interesting wild card round. $175 purse at the Tap, and a new special quizzo menu, including $10 pizzas. Hope to see ya tonight!

BYO Quizzo at Comcast Center Tonight

Old Fashioned Baseball This Weekend

1874_Philadelphia_Athletics_baseball

Thought that no Philadelphia baseball teams had a shot to win a title this year? Think again. The Athletic Club of Philadelphia will be taking on teams from all across the region in the grand old game of Base-Ball. Playing by rules set down in 1864, they will take on all comers at the Navy Yard this weekend. In addition to the baseball, Shibe Sports will have a table set up with our gear at sale prices, as well as a couple of brand new shirts for sale, and there will be BBQ offered by Phoebe’s and ice cream from Franklin Fountain. Games run from 10-4 both Saturday and Sunday.

CHeck out this interview I just did with the President of the Athletic Club of Philadelphia to learn more about baseball 150 years ago. And go here to learn more about the event itself. I’ll be down there both days, so if you want to hang out and watch some baseball, come on down!

Win a $100 Gift Cert in the Shibe Survivor Pool!

We’re gonna be giving away a $100 gift certificate to our store with a Survivor Pool. (Use the password Shady) Here’s how it works: you pick one game each week where you think you know the winner. If your team wins, you move on. If your team loses, you’re done. The next week, you pick a new team (you can’t pick the same team twice) that you are sure is going to win.

Whatever team can go the most weeks without picking a loser wins the $100 gift cert. It’s totally free to play. Get your picks in by noon on Sunday.

And if you’re looking to score some Eagles gear, be sure to swing by our store. If you haven’t been yet, I promise you, you are really going to dig it. We’ve got awesome stuff for sale, and our Eagles shirts and hats are terrific. The store is located on 13th Street between Walnut and Sansom (137 South 13th Street), and you can also find us online at shibesports.com.

French Fry Thursday

Action starts at Industry at 6:30 p.m. Been a fairly mellow week (as it normally is off a Monday holiday), and I suspect it will be rather mellow tonight. Could be a good chance to get a win. $3 craft beer special each week and terrific hamburgers.

On to Bards at 9 p.m. No Jesters of Tortuga this week, so it’s anybody’s ballgame. (Same quiz from earlier this week. Back to our normal schedule next week). And yes, the NFL game will be on at both bars. Hope to see ya tonight!
