The Daily News Cost the Flyers the Game

Professional athletes care so little about their jobs that they only try hard when a newspaper Photoshops one of them onto an 80-year-old movie character, according to people. Thanks to @KevinCooney for the inspiration.

  1. Wednesday, the Philadelphia Daily News ran this cover.

    I also assume the Daily News has never heard of "bulletin board material." #Flyers

    @emptynetters 1-0 after a denigrating cover from the Philly Daily News, hopefully they keep it up by calling Geno the Tin-Malk or something

    . @MK12679 I don't even necessarily think it's a 'jinx' thing. Crap like that motivates then other team.

    I wonder if that Daily News cover might have inspired Crosby and the rest of the Penguins...
