The Sporting Blog - Interview with Rob McElhenney of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I really enjoyed this interview, as this is one of my favorite shows on tv.
“Q: Philly fans have are pretty notorious. Where do you fall in that group? Laid back, or are you the one that started the booing of Santa?
McElhenney: I definitely get frustrated, but I try to take a more positive attitude. I was definitely raised in that environment, but it’s tough because we haven’t won a major sports title — unless you count Arena football — since 1983, and I was 5 years old. It gets a little frustrating when you start following these teams and you start taking it out on them.”

“Q: I saw on email.phillysucks.com that you have the emails that got the most comments — do you have other favorites?
PSux: I recently got this email:
dickbanger88@yahoo.com
Subject: get a life homoyou’re a fag, and the Phillies, Flyers, Sixers, and E-A-L-G-L-E-S Eagles rule
PSux: So simple, yet it just cracked me up. That particular emailer is a bit nuts. I have gotten about a thousand emails through the site, of which about I think about half have been posted in phillysucks.com or the newer email.phillysucks.com. Hard to have a favorite but I get a kick out of the horribly written emails the most. I can’t believe those people function in society writing so poorly.”
