Greetings from Angryville
Los Angeles Times columnist T.J. Simers touched a nerve with Philadelphia's finest cranks when he penned his pre-NLCS column about the long-established crappiness about my fair city of Brotherly Shove.

Jerry Jones On Pacman Scuffle: Nothing To See Here. Move Along
First of all, I have a feeling that the movie Max Payne is going to make me want to punch someone myself. Just a hunch.

The Summer That Didn't Quite Last Forever
Walter E. Smithe is a Chicago furniture store whose management figured that they'd cash in big when the Cubs finally broke 100 years of frustration with a World Series championship.

Morning Blogdome: Wilbon Calls Kimbo Slice a Fraud

Talk Hosts' 'Magic Faked AIDS' Comment Not Going Over As Well As They'd Hoped
I don't listen to much talk radio, with the exception of sports, and of course Dennis Miller. So I'd never heard of Chris Baker and Langdon Perry, who have a show on Minneapolis' KLTK-FM.

NLCS Game 1: Dodgers vs. Phillies
Wow, it's already the League Championship Series. If this were the NBA, tonight would be Game 2 of the first round. Instead it's Cole Hamels throwing when Derek Lowe isn't, and it's probably true the other way around. So sit back, relax, then stop. Jumpertime. * * *Top 9th 2 ...
ESPN's Pedro Gomez Drives America's Young Female Population to Lesbianism

Say It Ain't So, Joe
Joe Biden knows as well as anyone that just one slipup on the campaign trail can turn the tide of an election. And that may have been what happened in at a stump stop in Tampa, as Biden's gaffe involving the Tampa Bay Rays sent shock waves throughout the state of Florida, and I daresay, the nation. ...

Two "All-Time Greats": Brett Favre And Coin Collecting
