Peter Laviolette Pwns Mike Missanelli

Mike Missanelli is a sports talk radio host for 97.5 The Fanatic. In today's Sound Off segment, he had on Flyers coach Peter Laviolette, who absolutely wasted no time in taking Missanelli to task for not paying the Flyers much attention thus far in the season. Also in this interview, Laviolette talks about practicing in Central Park, Andrej Meszaros, last night's Avery/Carle "fight", Boucher and Bobrovsky, and more. But seriously, the only reason this interview is getting posted here is because the first two minutes are absolutely hilarious.

If you are keeping score at home that is Peter Laviolette 1, Mike Missanelli 0. And if Flyers fans did not have enough of a reason to love Laviolette as it already is, this is yet another one.

Jimmy Rollins Has Some Choice Words For Yankee "Fans"

The series may be 1-1, but after last night's game, Jimmy Rollins PWN3D every Yankee fan there was. Via Fanhouse

"I was expecting some of that [Philadelphia rowdiness] here," Rollins said early Friday morning, after a 3-1 Yankees victory tied the series 1-1, "but it was very tame and civilized, really.

"You only had one big cheer, and that was on home runs."

"I was expecting some of that [Philadelphia rowdiness] here, but it was very tame and civilized, really."
-- Jimmy Rollins on the Yankee Stadium crowd Rollins was asked if this feels "more like a World Series" than last year's Series with Tampa Bay.

"When we get to Philly, it will," he said.

Because the atmosphere will be so different?

"Exactly."

Jimmy Rollins 1, Yankee fans 0.

While you never know with Fox's audio, that crowd in games 1 and 2 did seem more like a regular season crowd than a World Series crowd. And while I hate to make a sweeping generalization by saying that the Steinbrenners outpriced the screaming diehards, that seems to me exactly what happened. Nonetheless, if the Yankees want to get mad at Rollins for this, they can, but he is right, when this thing goes to Philly the atmosphere will be at an entirely different level regardless of the weather conditions, and Yankee fans have no one to blame but themselves for, regardless of the outcome of the series, being shown off and outclassed by Phillies fans.
