A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Apparently McDonalds franchisees have been complaining about having to advertise for the dollar menu, their point being that it makes little sense to pay extra to publicize something that brings in less revenue. So McDonalds is considering changing things, starting with the double cheeseburger. Specifically, they're thinking about either making it more expensive, or taking the cheese off. If they go with the......

The Phillies have signed free-agent Brett Favre…er, 33-year-old outfielder Geoff Jenkins (see the resemblance?) and 30-year-old starter/reliever Chad Durbin, continuing a rather dulling off-season for the Fightins. Is there any reason to get excited about these two players? Um, maybe…if the Phillies front office knows something we don’t. But that’s never really the case with these middle-of-the-pack guys. Do you still remember Rod Barajas? I didn’t. I had to look him up. Kyle Lohse?......

Don't mind us. We had a whole post set to go about how today was a wacky, wacky day for football injuries, with Marques Colston, Chad Johnson, Reggie Bush, Brett Favre and Donovan McNabb all injured, however slightly, at one point or another in their respective games.

At first last night we got the queasy feeling that we were going to see a repeat of maddening Eagles' performances of the past, like the recent Giants game. The Birds were once again just not playing to their full abilities, and were slowly creeping towards losing what should have been a sure win. Poor time management (a perpetual Eagles problem), especially at the end of the first half, combined with bad ball-handling (boo Buckhalter!)......

We've been trying hard -- well, maybe not so hard -- to see the whole Terrell Owens clown show from his point of view. The guy is more than simply talented; at this point in his career, he's one of the best in the world at what he does, which is certainly not something a lot of us can say. He did everything the Eagles asked of him last season, and if not for an......

We've tried not to get too caught up in this T.O. mess this season. For the most part, we've succeeded. But we couldn't help but chime in with this prime bit of news: T.O. thinks that the Eagles would be undefeated if Brett Favre were the quarterback. We love this story for a number of reasons. We love it most, though, for the geniuses at ESPN who decided to bring this up. Not surprisingly, it......
