Only 8 months until next season.
Overall, I’m pretty happy with the season, though Andy Reid’s game day deficiencies roared their ugly head once again. The punt on 4th and 15 was, and always will be, a mistake. Yet it is undeniable that the Reid era has seen incredible, and lasting, success. One [...]
Via Enrico, something to smile about as we get ready for Sunday:
After years of waiting and being held up by political bickering and sniping, Mayor Street reluctantly signed Philadelphia’s very own smoking ban last night. No longer will us non smokers have to wash every single piece of clothing we wore after a night out! And no longer will I actually look forward to [...]
You see, THIS is what we want to see out of our athletes in Philly. You might not be the best player in the world, but if you’re out there fighting every night, we’ll support you. You gotta have heart…
It’s the same reason we love the little guy and will NOT be renewing [...]
Congratulations to Gov. Ed Rendell for standing up to the Republican-dominated state legislature in their attempt to limit voters’ rights! In a speech at the National Constitution Center, the Governor announced yesterday he would veto the bill passed by the state legislature that would make voting more cumbersome by requiring every voter to show [...]

A good place to start in Philadelphia is the position of Ward Committee Member– no experience is required, and there are almost 7,000 openings!
Here’s how it works: The City has 66 Wards which are divided into [...]
The plan to turn Philadelphia into what Mayor Street calls “the first completely wireless city in the country” is moving ahead, but with possible delays.
Back on Oct. 3, Dianah Neff, the city’s Chief Information Officer, announced an agreement with Earthlink under which the ISP would finance and build a city-wide Wi-Fi broadband network for Wireless [...]
“Gillick Batting 1.000”
I was far from pleased when I learned of the Phillies replacement for Ed Wade. Don’t get me wrong - ridding the organization of Wade was the best decision since trading Bobby Abreu to the Astros for Kevin Stocker. A close second has to be signing free-agent Danny Tartabull, who broke [...]
