Top 6 Philadelphia sports stories for 2003
6. Eagles start 0-2 but go on a 9 game win streak and finish with a 12-4 record to once again win the NFC East and become the NFC's top seed for the playoffs.
5. Veterans Stadium sees its last football and baseball games (both losses) and the uber-corporate (but really nice) Lincoln Financial Field opens (with a loss).
4. Phillies lose wildcard race despite a great season from Jim Thome. The Phillies choke down the stretch gives the wildcard spot to the Marlins who go on to win the World Series.
3. Sixers lose to the Pistons in the playoffs then lose Larry Brown, the architect of their success, to the Pistons as well.
2. Flyers lose to Ottawa. After defeating Toronto in a great playoff series little is left for the next series vs. Ottawa. Another playoff failure, another finger pointed at the goaltender, and Clarke still maintains that goalies aren't that important.
1. Eagles lose to Tampa Bay. All that's been said has been said.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
