For some reason, there are aspects of a franchise that just seem to stick around.
If the Bears are ever good, it’s always because of their front 7 — whether it’s Fridge Perry and Mike Singltary, or Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs, or now Khalil Mack.
The Flyers have always been chippy every since the days of Dave Schultz and the Broad Street Bullies. In the analytics era, which began over 3 decades after Schultz last game as a Flyer, Philly has the most penalties drawn AND taken per hour.
The Yankees are the Bronx Bombers — from Gehrig, Ruth, and DiMaggio to Judge and Stanton they always find a way to piece together the brawn to blast the ball to kingdom come.
