Philly sports legend joins Keys Weekly podcast

If you haven’t caught any of the Keys Weekly Podcast yet, start with this episode, our latest one.

Philadelphia sports legend Pat Croce showed up last week at the Keys Weekly office in Key West to sit down with publisher Britt Myers and managed to blow him away.

Croce is known internationally as a wildly successful sports physical therapist and trainer for the Philadelphia Eagles and Flyers. After he sold his network of sports physical therapy centers, Croce became an NBA owner of the then-struggling Philadelphia 76ers, who managed to turn the team, and some would say the city of fans, around in five years.

Tune into keysweekly.com or wherever you listen to podcasts to catch the latest episode of the Florida Keys Weekly Podcast featuring Pat Croce with Britt Myers and Annie Briening.
