News from the Week

Sorry, I was really battling a stomach virus all week and I've sort of lost the desire to write lately. So, below is some news from the week.

- Jeff Carter made the Eastern Conference all-star team.

- Quinton Mikell was named the all-pro second team. He was the only Eagle acknowledged as an all-pro.

- The Philadelphia MLS team is down to 4 possible names: AC Philadelphia, Philadelphia SC, Philadelphia Union, and Philadelphia City. All names obviously have a European style and my favorite from the bunch is probably Philadelphia SC. My suggestion is Olde City instead of Philadelphia City.

- The Sixers are winners of 3 straight games, though they were lowly opponents, but they still won. They will be in Atlanta tomorrow at 2pm.

- The Phillies signed Marcus Giles to a minor league contract worth $600,000. They're also in the running for Nomah! Other people still see them interested in Derek Lowe.

- Villanova blew a game today at home and lost 61-60 to Louisville because they could not make free throws, including 2 missed by Antonio Pena in the final seconds that would have given them the lead.

- Eagles secondary coach, Sean McDermott, is coveted by Packers coach Mike McCarthy to become their new defensive coordinator, but they cannot talk to him until after the Eagles season is over.

- Sixers will consider trading Andre Miller by the trade deadline.

- We're still World Fucking Champions of baseball!
