Yo, Philly in the News

• In case you hadn't heard about it yet, on Saturday former Eagle Terrell Owens made the deeply appropriate, and yet highly ironic, move of signing a three-year, $25 million contract with the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, our T.O. - he who once infamously denigrated the Dallas star - is now a hated Cowboy. Not content with this most traitorous of actions, T.O. added insult to injury by posting a lengthy rap on his website in which he metaphorically flips the bird in the direction of his former team. Yeah, okay T.O. We look forward to wiping the floor with you and your pathetic Cowboys next season.
• Time to go say goodbye to the old Liberty Bell pavilion at Independence National Historical Park! The bell moved out of it a couple of years ago; in about five weeks the pavilion will be gone; and not too long after that there'll be a lawn in its place. The personnel and man-hours necessary to dismantle the pavilion are being donated for free by a coalition of trade unions, which impressed U.S. Circuit Judge Edward R. Becker so much that he said, "This represents the most remarkable example of civic heroism that I have seen in over 40 years." That sounds like a bit of an overstatement to us. At least, we hope it is.
