Olympian Equestrian Wears Mankini

Shane Rose, a three-time Olympic medalist has been sidelined for wearing a skimpy outfit to a very formal equestrian event.  He wore a mankini, very similar to the one Borat wore, on a horse.  He’s facing a review from Equestrian Australia and he could actually miss the Olympics because of his antics.  Not only did he don the mankini, he was also seen in a gorilla costume and a beer outfit.  He has since apologized for the risqué outfit.  However he did not say why he decided to wear all the different outfits to a formal event and perform on a horse.

Man Denied $340 Million Lottery Jackpot

Woah.  Imagine believing that you won a $340 million lottery jackpot.  Literally life-changing money.  You’d be elated.  I would be.  Well John Cheeks from Washington, DC checked his lottery numbers on the Powerball website and it showed that he won the $340 million jackpot.  However, lottery official claim that a mistake was made by a contractor on their website.  When Cheeks took his ticket to a local retailer, he was told that none of his numbers hit.  He then went to the lottery offices and was told again that his numbers did not hit.  The lottery officials told him, “Hey, this ticket is no good.  Just throw it in the trash can.”  Cheeks has brought a lawsuit against the lottery office and his ticket is now evidence.  The lottery officials stand by the fact that it was just a mistake made by the contractor on the website.

It is Valentine's Day. Love is in the air. And even if things have not been ideal recently in the Philly Sports world, we wanted to talk about the things we love today in Philly sports. Specifically, our most beloved Philly Athletes. So for our Instagram, we asked all of the on-air staff which Philly athlete they love the most.

What was interesting is how many of them went for a Phillies player. There were 3 Chase Utleys, two Jimmy Rollins, along with a Roy Halladay, a Ryan Howard, and a Carlos Ruiz. Only 1 person picked a Sixers player, and two went the Eagles route. One Flyer got an honorable mention but was not the final pick. You can say it is because the 2008 Phillies won it all, but so did the Eagles in 2017. Only 1 player from that team made the list. And as one commenter on our Instagram immediately pointed out, nobody picked B-Dawk or Jason Kelce.

So what is it about that 2008 team that made us love them so much? Out of the 11 answers, 7 played for that team. Another joined the team two years later. And one of us named both of their pets after players on that 2008 team, J-Roll and Cat Burrell. It seems like at least among our staff, our heart is with that Phillies team still.

Find out who each host picked below. The full video from our Instagram can be found at the bottom of the page.

Be sure to comment under the Instagram reel who your most beloved Philly athlete of all time is. Did our hosts get it right? Should there be more Eagles on the list? Did the Sixers and Flyers not get enough love? Let us know what you think of our picks.
