Italian-American, born and raised in South Philly, two blocks from the Spectrum — the old one, the real one, the one they tore down. His father was a plumber who had Flyers season tickets since 1974, the second year of the Broad Street Bullies dynasty, and Tommy was brought to his first game in a stroller. He claims he has never consciously chosen to be a Flyers fan — he was assigned. Studied journalism at Temple, covered Flyers for the Philadelphia Inquirer for twelve years. Has been ejected from a press box exactly once and considers it his greatest professional achievement.
Fan Perspective
Broad Street Bully energy as identity, not just fandom. He will boo you for not trying hard enough, cheer you for bleeding, and love you forever if you fight. The Flyers are not just a team — they are a philosophy of being.
Local Coverage
