The Philadelphia Eagles campaign for the Super Bowl XL title begins tonight. Here in Iggles Nation it is the beginning of an intense, 17 week frenzy of beer, football, and near-ubiquitous E-A-G-L-E-S chants. Led by Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb, with the lethal threats of Terrell Owns and Brian Westbrook behind them, and backed up [...]
Growing up in Philly with plenty of friends from New York you definitely develop a bit of an inferiority complex regarding our fair city. It IS dirty and there really isn’t much to do after 2 am. But finally even the New York Times is recognizing, in a strange combination of adulation and condescension, how [...]
Here at SkaroffBlog we bleed Eagles green. I for one am a big Sixers fan (we’ll miss you dearly A Mc), would love to be able to root for the Phillies if they ever had any hope, and am looking forward to getting into a Flyers team that could threaten this year. But it’s the [...]
This hasn’t been picked up yet, but a press release has been distributed… Apparently our fair city; the city of brotherly love, the city of the cheeseteak, the city of ‘youse guys’ has been identified as the number one election fraud ‘hot spot’ in America. Even if the Sixers, Eagles, Flyers and Phillies can’t ascend [...]
The Philadelphia Daily News did an interesting story on Rick Santorum’s (R-PA) campaign for re-election. Larry Sabato, a University of Virginia professor and expert on presidential politics makes the argument that Santorum may be trying to lose the campaign in order to cement his standing with the national conservative movement. We are still more than [...]
It’s almost patently irresponsible of me that I have not yet written about Latoyia Figueroa, the 25-year-old pregnant mother who has been missing from the Philadelphia area since July 18. Unfortunately she’s not white, blond, or about to get married, so until Richard Cranium of All Spin Zone picked up the drum beat, the mainstream [...]
New kid in town (hey, we’re in our 4th month, let us act old), Phillyist, part of the Gothamist blog empire, has just opened its doors and is already producing lots of varied and interesting content with a Philadelphia inclination. Check out some of the choice posts in just the last day: Phillial: Interview with [...]
From my secret sources in AOL land, a partial broadcast schedule for Live 8. This doesn’t include all the acts but at least it gives you a partial idea. 12:14 – Black Eyed Peas 12:33 – Bon Jovi 1:00 – Destiny’s Child 1:16 – Kanye West 1:30 – Will Smith 1:56 – Toby Keith 2:13 [...]
They’re saying it may be the biggest concert in North American history. They’re also saying the whole thing is a sham and shows a lack of genuine seriousness about African poverty. Regardless, I’ll be having a party on my friend’s roofdeck just a few blocks from the entire crazy event. Come by, have a beer, [...]
First of all, great weekend. There was a festival in the Northern Liberties with art, crafts, music, and beer. Artists opened their studios, Art Star Gallery had a craft and art bazaar (where I picked up a cellphone/iPod cozie and some glass plugs), and the night ended with bands, including Kenn Kweder, and Yards beer [...]
