Leftovers: McNabb Tickles The Ivory
• These photos of Donovan McNabb are hilarious. [Bounty Bowl] • This Phillymag profile on the Phillies’ silent owners isn’t bad, but on the first page the following things are referenced: Mumia Abu-Jamal and Donald Trump. Gah! [Phillymag] • Here’s what Professional Writer Marcus Hayes wrote after Ryan Howard homered twice in a Phillies’ 12-2 win over the Nationals: “If Howard wants to cash like A-Rod, Manny and Jeter, then he’d better start producing like them. He needs to start winning games, sometimes by himself. You know. Like he did last night.” Ahh. [Daily News] • A small plane crashed near the Northeast Philly Airport, killing two. [KYW 1060] • Need a cute animal story? CBS 3 has you covered, with a story headlined Severely Neglected Chihuahua On Road To Recovery. Unfortunately, the dog is named Tinkerbell. [CBS 3] • Eric Snow is drawing attention as a possible head coach or assistant to Larry Brown. Although he will retire due to injuries at the end of the season, Snow is slated to be paid $7.3 million next year. Yeesh. [The 700 Level] • The cops are seeking robbers who break into ATMs with torches. Now that’s the kind of clever robbery that shows initiative! [KYW 1060] • Look what the most obscure Simpsons guest star ever, Terry Gross, allows her subjects to do: “Before we start taping, I tell my guests that if they figure out what they really mean to say in the middle of saying it — that is, if they figure out a clearer, more concise way of making their point — they can go back to an earlier part of the answer and do it over. This sounds like sacrilege, I know — it risks giving an interviewee an opportunity not only to rephrase a point but possibly retract it.” [Romenesko] |
