Glad they’re attending to expertise Philly like a real native.
I’ve been to Philadelphia fairly a number of instances. All the time loved it, had fun seeing all of the historic websites, partying on Broad Road and consuming my weight in Philly cheesesteaks. (With regards to the Pat’s vs. Geno’s debate, Tony Luke’s was at all times my favourite).
One place that I by no means made it throughout my time within the Metropolis of Brotherly Love was the Exhausting Rock Cafe. I assume I missed out on the genuine native spots, but it surely was simply by no means excessive up on my checklist…primarily as a result of there’s one about 20 minutes from me right here in Nashville (that I’ve additionally by no means been to) and since they’re a widely known vacationer entice in just about each metropolis at this level. Not precisely getting the “genuine” expertise of a brand new place once you hit up a series restaurant just like the Exhausting Rock.
For Washington Commanders followers although, apparently it was their cease whereas “taking on” Philly forward of at this time’s NFC Championship sport between the Commanders and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Simply hearken to this inspiring speech:
“We took over this place…We needed to have a secure area for all of us to be tonight, and that’s what we did.”
Unbelievable turnout in Philly‼️ (used to reside right here and they’re NOT used to this)

Sir, this can be a Exhausting Rock Cafe.
And the rationale that they have been capable of “take over” the Exhausting Rock Cafe and have a secure area is as a result of…nicely, locals by no means go there. It’s the identical in each metropolis. You’re not precisely going to get your loved ones collectively to exit for an overpriced dinner on the Exhausting Rock Cafe?
Oh, and even higher, after being accused of solely having 25 folks there, one of many attendees clarified that it was…really 37 folks.

However hey, they thought they did one thing. Sadly, the web couldn’t assist however snort – and by snort I imply brutally mock – and the Commanders followers who’re clearly new to this entire “having a superb soccer crew” factor after making it to their first NFC Championship Sport since they received the Tremendous Bowl again in 1991.

“Taking on” the Philly Exhausting Rock is like taking on the Occasions Sq. Applebees.

Good strive I assume? Let’s hope they don’t come to Nashville and attempt to take over Jason Aldean’s or Luke Bryan’s.
In fact it’s no shock that the Commanders are pumped for the sport, after such a protracted Tremendous Bowl drought. In truth, earlier than this yr, the crew previously referred to as the Washington Redskins (can I nonetheless say that phrase?) had solely made the NFL playoffs twice previously decade, dropping within the wild card spherical in each 2015 and 2020.
However star rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels actually appears to have introduced some life again to the crew, and followers are little doubt feeling good after their upset win over the Detroit Lions final week within the divisional spherical.
I’m positive the Commanders may have a robust displaying within the stands at this time as they attempt to make it to their first Tremendous Bowl in over 30 years…particularly after they managed to take over the Philly Exhausting Rock Cafe final evening.
