    Are you donating to charity this season?

    That's upsetting, Giovani. My family has always donated to charities, and I had no idea this was the sort of situation that pans out. If anyone needs ideas, try donating directly to organizations. My family gave to the Fraternal Order of Police, hospital hospice care, something that actually...

    NFL Week 14 2008

    Never, anywhere, did I say that I despised the man. He's a terrific football player, and I thought I made it clear that I see his talent. Grouping all Philadelphia fans into one stereotypical group is what the media does to portray us as villains. If I can be so bold, I think that the...

    NFL Week 14 2008

    As a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan, I have at times been absolutely astounded by Donovan McNabb. Especially in his younger years, he was a tremendous athlete with good pocket presence and a great arm. His decision making was allways so-so. But McNabb has consistently come up small in high...

    NFL Buys Into Obesity Myth

    The biggest issue I have with stuff like this is when they claim that obesity is an "epidemic" or a "disease". Pathetic claims of genetic predisposition to eat or be bigger make me ill. Does that mean I had genes that caused me to be active and play sports my entire life? People need to call...

    With the 1st pick of the Draft, they....

    They select Matt Stafford. Lions management isn't stupid enough to think that they have their QB situation somewhere in the organization. Stafford will go #1 overall to the Lions. I'm pretty sure that Sam Bradford will go in the top ten somewhere. The Seahawks might want an heir to Matt...

    Eagles' TE L.J. Smith is also Little John Smith. Weird.

    Peyton Hillis

    Our worst fears realized: ESPN.com reports that Peyton Hillis will miss the remainder of the season with a strained hamstring. So much for our playoff hopes for Peyton. I hate to admit it, but I have to agree with Bigunreal's assessment written elsewhere; this marks the end of Peyton's tenure...

    The Metrosexualization of Baseball

    I'll say that length also can depend on a number of things. AL pitchers tend to take a lot longer between pitches. I've been watching Phillies games with Cole Hamels and Jamie Moyer pitching that last only two hours and some change. From my viewing experience, AL games last longer than NL...

    2008 Ravens

    Marshal Yanda has been on the IR for some time now, and I believe Adam Terry has simply been benched. We've seen this same situation in Pittsburgh and Jacksonville this year: when the O-Line has troubles, blame the only white guy.

    NFL Week 14 2008

    Jim Leonhard might be the best blitzing safety in all of football. I wish the Ravens had some white offensive players, they would be my favorite team. Their defense could definitely be considered very white friendly.

    Football Equipment Thread

    I've noticed around this time of year that many players wear special jerseys with hand warmers built in! Ben Roethlisberger is wearing one today, and I'd imagine are popular with quarterbacks. Here's a Green Bay defensive back sporting one:

    NFL Week 14 2008

    Kevin Curtis out with a concussion. Leaves with two receptions for 42 yards, one of them a great grab over the middle. Hopefully he'll be back next week. Tollefson and Blackburn both seeing considerable time for the Giants defense. Blackburn is a really talented athlete, being in on both...

    The Metrosexualization of Baseball

    I can see what you mean. I for one absolutely love watching baseball, probably more than any other sport. Every second gives you something to dissect, analyze, or talk about. Watching baseball with someone else is great, and some of my best memories have come from watching baseball and talking...

    What is your ethnic background?

    I'm predominantly Italian. My mother is the first person married into my family that isn't 100% Italian. Don't really know percentages or anything, but that's how my family identifies in terms of culture, etc.

    What is your religion?

    Catholic, myself. Not much option what with being Italian and all.

    Would you date outside your "race"?

    Hate to admit it, but San Francisco's Arnaz Battle has a pretty cool sounding name. Rock Cartwright is sort of cool too. I played high school ball with a dude named Lance Anger.Edited by: PhillyBirds
