Eliot Spitzer was a tireless crusader for the cause of cleaning up Wall Street corruption. He also was a sex-crazed fiend who would spend the gross per capita of the average Third World country on a blow job. O.J. Simpson was one of the greatest running backs in the history of both college and professional football. He also enjoyed wasting away his spare time by nearly decapitating people who pissed him off. Barack Obama may......

The big story this morning is about a young couple - him a Penn grad, her a Drexel student - who allegedly burglarized neighbors' apartments, stole identities, made fake driver's licenses, and opened phony credit card accounts, all in the name of living the high life. The two were arrested Friday, but are free on bail. The Daily News has a more detailed look at some of their scams in an article with a typically......

The Sixers have spent the past decade being too small and individualistic on the court, dumb-witted and stubborn in the front office, and unwilling to change with the times in both areas. All of that changed last season. They got rid of their star players. For quarters at a time, they ran the court and shared the basketball. Andre Miller looked like a poor man’s Steve Nash, and Kyle Korver made enough plays away from......

Maybe rebuilding the Sixers is the best thing to do, as the team has failed to progress in the last couple of years. And this season has been particularly abysmal. Despite all that Iverson has given this town - 4-time scoring champion while finishing in the top 3 every year since '99, 2-time leader in steals, 2001 MVP, rookie of the year, 2-time Allstar MVP, trip to the 2001 NBA Finals - his detractors will......

Yes, you read the headline right -- it was a pretty good night for Philadelphia basketball in the NBA Draft. Not as good as it could have been, but at the moment, we aren't complaining. The 76ers came into the night with one pick, the 13th in the first round. They used it to select Thabo Sefolosha, a swingman who ESPN analysts touted as a very good choice. But while the talking heads were raving......

The Sixers, in the wake of re-signing free agents Kyle Korver and Willie Green, finally sealed the deal with their top priority, center Samuel Dalembert. The six-year deal will reportedly pay Dalembert something in the range of $60 to $80 million dollars. Dalembert is regarded by many as a project still in the works, but one that has already paid great dividends. Dalembert still needs to work hard on his offensive game, but on the......

The Sixers have always had entertaining drafts, but they've been even better lately now that Larry Brown isn't around to squander the team's young talent. Last night, though, was a low-key affair for the local squad. Due to an old trade, the Sixers only had a second round pick -- the 45th pick of the evening, to be precise. The Sixers used the pick to draft Louis Williams, a 19-year-old high school star from Georgia.......
