If Comcast can get a Billy Goat into Wrigley... AND get the Cubs to win a Championship.... Well THAT would be something. |

The notion that the likeness of William Penn being on top of the tallest building in Philadelphia broke the long-running curse is absolutely, 100% correct. I think in terms of sports curses this was the worst because one of our teams would always come SO CLOSE...
This curse was so bad that it even cost Smarty Jones the Triple Crown back in 2004.

Maybe they can go to work on the "curse" of bandwidth caps next. 
Oh wait, they are the curser not the cursee.  |

| Well let's see
They have 4 sports teams X 25 sports seasons each -( 1994 MLB strike season) and -( 2004-2005 NHL lockout ) and that's 98 seasons since their last championsip in 1983 when the 76ers won the NBA title. So statistically you would think in 98 seasons you'd eventually win ONE championship. |

| Curses and stuff.
If anyone believes in the curses and stuff than I have a bridge to sell you. The reason the Phillies won is because I didn't watch the games and other years I had tendency to watch bits of the games. Hmmm lets see if it works for the Eagles too. SO there the secret is out. |

You know..seriously..with all the doom and gloom in this country and economy today as I looked at those photos it instilled in me the thought of how much Comcast is really bucking the trend. A company that could have gone anywhere building instead their new skyscraper in the place they and even we as Americans call home. Capping it off with such a respect for tradition. I see real pride there in the photos and faces of the workers..and success for this country and what makes it great.
And look at the results. Not just in winning the game..but by their corporate results posted here on this website yesterday. A company really competing..offering great services..and showing what winning is really all about.
How about it..America? How about everyone stepping up to the same kinds of challenges. Companies and employees alike getting back to tradition..innovation..and a sense of hard work. A sense of giving of yourselves as much as is asked for in return.
We can bring this country back. Comcast is proving that.

Rick, Seriously. I enjoy my job too but.. I like the company I work for. But come on. are you running for CEO of Comcast or something like that? I was glad when I saw the Willie Penn statue placed at the top. I was heartbroken when it was stolen. and I was relieved that Comcast replaced it. But to set them as the example all corporations should use as a model thats a bit extreme isn't it. Were taking Fan Boy to whole new levels here. |
