After a two year hiatus, It's Always Sporty makes a return with a new look, feel, name, and focus.  Previously, Not The Game provided irreverent humor on topics surrounding the game on a national level. It's Always Sporty takes that spirit and passion and applies it to Philly sports.  In the same way the cast of characters from the FX show might approach every day, IAS will approach sports in this town... with emotion, irreverance, and humor.  The same way the fans do.

According to a very reliable source, Charlie Manuel attended dinner with Tommy Lasorda in New York the night before Game 1 of the WORLD SERIES. According to source, who was in attendance, Charlie remained out late (1:30am, really Charlie?) and got very drunk. When my source said, "Charlie, don't you have a game in like 16 hours?", Charlie replied "Fuck it. I have Lee pitching". Fantastic.

What a better way to return Not The Game then with a shout out to this awesome shirt from Birdland. They have some great products, but this one might take the cake for me. Calling out the Sarge's catchphrase "It's Cadillac Time", shirt comes in T and sweat version.
