Play it: “Winners Take All” - Aesop Rock
The MLB Playoffs mean way more photogs assigned to cover each game. I was at the Phillies win on Monday night. Quite a tense experience, I can say. I can’t say it was completely fun. For 7 innings, I was the lone red hat in a sea of [...]

“50 Ways To Leave Your Lover” - Paul Simon
I just wanted to make sure nobody at all missed my favorite NFL player’s wondrous miscue. His name is Dan Orlovsky, and he’s a backup QB for the worst team in the league. Greatest player ever!. Ever? Seriously, are all Orlo(v)skys really absent-minded? Is it a genetic [...]

Music to listen to: Message of Love - Jimi Hendrix
In the beginning, there was the Wolf Pack.  In the wake of that followed the Padilla Flotilla, Chase’s Chicks, and even Sal’s Pals. Any Philadelphia Phillie player with any sort of character seems to get a possibly-alliterative, perhaps-rhyming, potentially-punny nicknamed fan club.

For some reason, I’m disproportionately amused when something I’m already interested in reaches the radar of the the uber-arcane blog Language Log. It’s happened before, of course.

Funny pic of the day: Schilling rocking the McNabb jersey out in public. I thought he hated Philly? Actually I guess McNabb will hate Philly soon, too…

How great is fame? Or, rather how great does a goalie have to  be to make it to the Hockey Hall of Fame?
I recently read that Ron Hextall is entering his first year of eligibility. Ron is up there among my favorite athletes to have watched in my lifetime. The default adjective for him has [...]
