Are we in the worst of times for being a Philly sports fan?

It's tough being a Philadelphia sports fan right now. Sure, there are individual players to get excited about, such as Joel Embiid, who looks like he has a great future ahead of him if he can stay healthy, and Carson Wentz, who doesn't look as certain as Embiid, but showed poise and promise at the helm of the Eagles this season. The Phillies have exciting young talent at all levels of their system, and the Flyers have the Ghost, Shayne Gostisbeherere.

But in terms of real success -- playoff runs and championships -- these are lean times.
