The Sports Porch

The Pittsburgh Steelers, Penguins and Pirates. Moday Nights at 7:00 PM Eastern. Live. Dropped on Spotify after. It was 1988. The 80s. The one that spawned video games, pop music, cable news, Combos and more. It was also the year 3 guys from Pennsylvania met in Philadelphia. At a school called Drexel. Steve, from Pittsburgh, Chris, from York, and Marc, from Philadelphia. Same state... wildly different backgrounds, and wildly different opinions on sports. Steve, the classic Steelers, Penguins and Pirates fan. Chris... mixed up as a Redskins, Orioles and sometimes Flyers fan. Marc, totally Philadelphia as an Eagles, Sixers, Phillies and Flyers fan. Oh, the misbehaving that occurred. And the arguments. Then, one day, when we got older, we decided it should be a show.
