Sorry there was no Eagles Diary last week. I turned on the channel the game was supposed to be on, saw a team in a blue-and-yellow get up that a Division Nine college football team wouldn’t wear and assumed that the game got canceled. But anyway, I was wrong. The game took place and the Eagles actually scored 56 points and obliterated the Detroit Lions. So I had high hopes for the Eagles latest square-off......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. It's Friday the 13th, and Cinematical has a nice present for us, in honor of the holiday. We usually find ourselves talking about a different Penn University around here, but Penn State is having a rap contest to build excitement about their big college football celebration, Blue & White Weekend on April 20 and 21st, and that's amusing. See the entries here (you......

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. Show Me the Money (Tue; 9:30PM-11PM; ABC) - In this exceedingly long premier episode, the producers of "Deal or No Deal" present what they hope will be the next big game show hit. We're not sure why they chose as their title a catch phrase from an old movie that became annoying almost as soon as it became popular, but we do like their host: it's The......

The elevator in Elite -ist HQ has been broken for a week to the day. That's meant climbing up and down six flights of stairs, whenever we want to leave home or come back. It's not fun, but it's making us feel better about skipping gym days to see Fringe shows. And sitting here reading across the -ist-a-verse instead of, you know, getting off the couch. Gothamist: It's just a matter of time before cheap......

Editor's note: It's rare that we step out of our collective voice/pants to let someone steal the spotlight. In our history, we've only done it when (a) the Pope did a guest spot in our 30 Days of Easter series, (b) we put up a "Day as Phillyist Editor" for bid and Singularist won, (c) we just felt like wingin' it. Today, we let Tom Durso, the newest member of our team, don the slim-fit......
