I have always thought the "Philadelphia Phillies" was a stupidly ambiguous and redundant name (WTF is a "Philly"?). I think "The Philadelphia Cheesesteaks" would make more sense.
There are eagles around here, but let's be honest, they have not bothered to make Vick perform any sort of public service to reverse the harm he did, so I think they may as well change the football team to "The Philadelphia Dog Fighters" and at least be honest about it.
The 76ers are okay. That makes sense, all things considered.

The Mets could have been the Mechanics, but there's a big move to clear all the chop-shops out of Willets Point.
Since "philo" means beloved or loving, I would guess that "Phillies" are lovers. Which doesn't sound all that manly, so let's be glad it's in a different language.
But it does explain the Philly Fanatic. If I looked like that, I'd probably be crazy for some lovin' too.
