  • The Eagles have made it abundantly clear that they don't want no TO up in here. The rest of the NFC East agrees. Oh, and the Falcons, Ravens, Vikings, Titans, 49ers, Chiefs, Browns and Dolphins have also blacklisted the wide receiver.
  • Think you know Philly's best beer? Arthur Etchells ran around town stopping at wellknown watering holes like Good Dog and Kite & Key to bring you the best local brewskis just in time for Beer Week. Flying Fish Abbey Dubbel and Sly Fox O’Reilly’s Stout. Check here for the rest of the beer roundup.
  • A Philadelphia man waiting for justice against the man who murdered his wife and two others finds grieving harder now with the internet. Jorge Figueroa found the Myspace page of the man who's sitting on death row. The page is run by opponents of the death penalty.
  • Thousands of gallons of ink spilled into the Schuylkill River near Reading. The Department of Environmental Protection and Elk Environmental Service were sent out to clean up the spill. The ink is reported to be non-toxic and water soluble.
  • SEPTA is continuing attempts in talks withTransport Workers Union Local 234 whose contract expires in a week. The contract covers close to 5,000 workers and talks have been slow to come to agreement. SEPTA is currently working on a strike-contingency plan which merely suggests we all take Regional Rail, which will be unaffected by the ending of the contract.
