Monday, January 5th, 2009Andy Reid has a pretty impressive ginger beard going right now. I was able to use some police imaging technology to project this image, four weeks from now.
Note: if you’re unfamiliar with such terms as “ginger beard” and “ginger balls,” here’s a good place to start. See you at the Dick Meeting. [...]
Eagles Pummel Vikings, Set up Rematch vs. Giants
Monday, January 5th, 2009Back at work? Relive Chris Clemmons’ Matrix-esque, gravity-defying block on Tavaris Jackson in yesterday’s Wildcard victory over the Vikings. Good luck explaining that turf burn on the back of your neck, buddy.

2010 Winter Classic at Beaver Stadium?
Friday, January 2nd, 2009A story in today’s Daily News confirms that the Flyers are still pushing hard for a New Year’s Day hockey game at Beaver Stadium vs. the Penguins. I remember talking about this on the radio last year and, with the possible exception of seeing an NBA Finals game at the Palestra, it might be [...]
Six Things I’m Going to Miss About “Five”
Monday, November 24th, 2008I was relaxing on my couch yesterday when suddenly a stream of chunky green vomit flew out of the television screen and splattered on the floor.
“The Donovan McNabb era is officially over,” my brother said.
“So it is.”
Whether he plays the rest of the season or skulks around on the sideline like a frozen mummy, Donovan [...]
Phils Win World Series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thursday, October 30th, 2008Rain Man
Tuesday, October 28th, 2008Rain, man.
8:22 AM: I just walked about 4 blocks in North Philly and was nearly blown into traffic. The rain is still pouring down and they’re forecasting wind chills in the low 20s tonight. Gloomy would be an understatement.
Mike Radano of the Courier Post summed it up nicely in his blog:

Say AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Phils Win Game 3 of World Series, 5-4, at 1:47 am
Sunday, October 26th, 2008Philly.com
My grandfather was a great man. He was born in New Orleans and moved to Philly when he was six. He graduated from St. Joe’s Prep (which he loved ’til the day he died) and went on to St. Joe’s University. He left Hawk Hill to serve as a Navy fighter pilot in WWII. When [...]

“Go Phillies! Beat the Rays!”
Apologies. I took 5 full pages of notes last night, and was planning to do a big report today. Because the Phillies being in the World Series is like a passing comet, I wanted to create some kind of historical record that would crystalize my thoughts and feelings, [...]
That Scraping Sound You Heard in the 8th Inning was the Dodgers Biting Down on the Curb
Tuesday, October 14th, 2008.01 seconds later, a strange object flew across the radar screen at LAX
The Phillies are one win from the World Series.
I’m going to repeat that because in my entire 26 years on this planet, that has only been true one other time. The Phillies are one win from the World Series.
I know that might [...]
Cole-Town Philly, Back Again
Friday, October 10th, 2008For the second time in as many starts, Cole Hamels came up huge when it mattered most. After his 8-strikeout performance, a shot in the arm from Chase Utley (who just magically came out of his coma like Robert Deniro in Awakenings), another better-late-than-never blast from Pat Burrell (who, correct me if I’m wrong, is [...]
