Leftovers: Then Again, It Was Only Tampa

• You’ll be happy to know that, after his 62-yard game winner yesterday, Tampa’s mayor proclaimed yesterday Matt Bryant Day in honor of the Bucs kicker. Just wait. If an Eagles kicker ever hits a 65-yarder, I bet he’ll get a whole week in his honor. [Bucs Report]

• New Temple (and ex-Penn) coach Fran Dunphy has his players doing yoga in preseason, in addition to joining in himself in the stretching. Oh, now that’s a scene we all need to see. [CSTV Slog]

• Here’s some kickass YouTube footage of ‘XPN’s Top 10 artists of all time. The list, unfortunately, is about as predictable as you expected it to be. [All About The Music via Phillyist]

• Our city: A paucity of green roofs. Oh, come on, you’re not surprised. [The Illadelph]

Blogicized: Comcast Puts Hotels On Citizens Bank Park, Wachovia Center

• ‘XPN says we upload, you decide: Is that ubiquitous Chili Peppers song the same as that one-ubiquitous Tom Petty song? [WXPN Blog]

• Could you one day watch Phillies games on DirecTV? Ha. That’s a good one. [Civil Defense]

• Hey, Play, the newest suburban alt-weekly, has launched! And the mag’s top BYOB serves alcohol! [Foobooz]

Setting The Barr Too High

Last night, I went to the Rosanne Cash/Anthony DeCurtis reading, interview and concert thingy at World Cafe Live. If you, uh, don’t know, Rosanne is Johnny Cash’s daughter.

I had a good time, etc. And as I was walking out of WXPN, I overheard someone — who hadn’t been at the show — leaning over to a worker:

“Wait. So Roseanne Barr’s daughter player here tonight?”

That: Also would have been a good concert.

Blogicized: Phishadelphia?

• Coming out of the closet as a ex-font addict. I agree with one thing: Comic Sans is an evil, evil font and if you ever use it for anything you should be banned from using anything but Notepad. [TinaPoPo and Friends]

• Chaka Fattah is going to run for mayor, kinda maybe sorta. Somebody’s gotta do a Chaka Kahn remix for a campaign song. [A Smoke-Filled Room]

• Phish to reunite at The Spectrum? The Internet is abuzz with this rumor! It must be true! (But: The Spectrum? Eh, I guess it’s better than the Wachovia Center.) [The 700 Level]

• Sick of Sunny/Alice/Star/Whatever 104.5’s Christmas music that’s been playing since, oh, April 7? Well, XPN’s spinning some better tracks — I assume — tomorrow. [XPN All About The Music Blog]
