Boy, did I wake up to good news this morning!? As it states on page D2 of today’s Philadelphia Inquirer, Brian Tierney’s publication has stripped Stephen A. Smith of his column-writing duties, effective immediately. They have stated that they want him to return to reporting, which, since he spends most of his time in cities not named Philadelphia, is probably code for “Here’s your hat, what’s your hurry?” Now I don’t want to rush to judgment and say that my column of the 17th of August 2007 was the reason for this unceremonious demotion… but until I hear otherwise, that is exactly what I will do. So since I have been able to accomplish this lofty goal, you can read eight more wishes I would like to see fulfilled after the jump.

Stephen A. Smith is an evil, evil man. There is simply no other way that this can be said.

Quite frankly, Stephen A. Smith has his finger dug into the neck of this fine city (we think that the neck is located somewhere in Northeast Philly), taking its pulse and converting into prose that reminds us of rainbows. And so, what Stephen A. says is gospel around these parts. Just look at Sunday, for instance: in the Inquirer, Smith took the Eagles to task for their poor offense and the Eagles responded with a poor offensive showing yesterday afternoon, beating the 49ers by a mere 39 points.

If we were old school, we'd believe in baseball gods and Skip Bayless. If were nu skool, we'd believe in Stephen A. Smith and Moneyball. But we sit comfortably in between, so we believe in heartbreaking baseball and anyone but Charlie Manuel.

Yeah, yeah - we hear you. You've bombarded us with e-mails about Terrell Owens and wondered why we haven't posted about him. And we'll tell you why: we're kind of pissed. Quite often, we'll hold our staff meetings outside with various exercise equipment. Heck, we'll even haul out the big screen TV and the tae-bo tapes. But no one ever covers us. Not even Blinq. And that hurts.
