Tyles

When Tyles' grandfather emigrated from Maida, Calabria, Italy, he most likely had no idea that he would one day have a grandson who would one day fall victim to the ultimate virus: Philadelphia sports fandom. While intelligent and well informed by most metrics, he has been quite the victim of false prophets over the years. Jerome McDougle, Kevin Kolb, Dominic Brown, Nick Pivetta, Ben Simmons, Markelle Fultz, and not to mention countless free agents. All players who would push his teams to the next level. Unfortunately he will believe again and never truly stop. While being way too overly invested in all 5 main sports, his favorite team among the bunch is the Phillies. You can tell the level of perversion that exists within someone who lives and dies with the losingest franchise in sports history. Philadelphia sports remain the ever present, painful siren in his life. For who? We’re not sure. For what? He questions that on an almost daily basis. A quarter century of fandom filled with substantially more pain than joy, but he sticks with it because…we will always get ’em next year.
