The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Terrell Owens just may have shown up in the background of a photo from a hardcore porn shoot (which is, disappointingly, pretty safe for work). (Via Sarah) Penny Arcade points out that there are some things you really just don't need to put on Twitter. Don't mess with the Goddamn Batman. He knows lawyers. Heh heh. Apparently Uwe Boll got in......

It's in a Philly sports fan's nature to bitch and moan about the often nonsensical moves made by the people in charge of our sports teams. Of course, we're not always rational beings ourselves. Hell, we're getting excited about the Sixers, who are—let's face it—a mediocre basketball team. So how can we possibly expect the people who run our teams to be rational? But we've just about had it with the Eagles' front office. It's......

Donovan might be able to get some of those players he’s so desperate for—the Eagles are about to have a windfall. Well, that’s maybe stretching it a bit, but what it lacks in amount it makes up for in sweet, sweet revenge: T.O. owes us money. That’s right, the man who has loved every quarterback he’s ever played with, except when he didn’t, lost his grievance with the Eagles, who were trying to recover......

Have a nominee for Asshole of the Week? Send it to us! There were some strong contenders for Asshole of the Week this week, a couple of whom probably might have won on another week. But this week, there was one asshole who stood knees and ankles below the rest. Our Asshole of the Week is... Adrian Matthew! Right about now, you're asking yourself, "Who the hell is Adrian Matthew?" This guy is the upstanding......

I like this Top (Insert Your Number) thing that Phillyist has going right now. It allows you to write without a clear beginning-to-end narrative, something that comes in handy when you aren’t really watching the game that you are supposed to be “reporting” on. This week, I didn't have something as deathly important as getting my dog's photo taken with Jolly St. Nick. No, I blew the game off because my wife was having her......

How cruel of the Eagles to win on Monday night, pulling us all back into the hunt for the playoffs like that. Why did they have to beat a Panthers team expected to win Super Bowl XLI and take their spot in the playoff ladder? Why couldn’t Jeff Garcia have just embarrassed himself and taught coach Andy Reid a lesson for not opting for A.J. Feely? Why did they have to build our hopes back......

On Tuesday, the American -ists will be celebrating democracy and hitting the polls, letting politicians know what they really think. It just made us wonder: if it were up to the -ist-a-verse, what would we be voting for? Londonist votes for better skincare, alternative spaces for art, cute little birds and the men who keep them, and concrete. Lots of concrete. Shanghaiist votes for one of the Bee Gees and Air Supply (it's a double-ticket),......

They did it. The Eagles came, they played hard and well on defense and offense, and then, most importantly, they finished the game, winning a huge, hard-fought victory over division rivals the Dallas Cowboys. Perhaps even more satisfying, they completely defeated ex-teammate Terrell Owens, making him a non-factor in the game. The Eagles might not have been the only ones involved in removing him from the game; there might also have been some bad......

You may have perhaps heard at some point this week that an NFL team known as the Dallas Cowboys is coming to town this Sunday night to play against our Philadelphia Eagles. You may also remember that said Cowboys have playing for them a fellow named Terrell Owens, who used to play for us. What does all of that mean? It means, as the AP so aptly puts it, that the T.O. circus is coming......

In case you hadn't heard about it yet, on Saturday former Eagle Terrell Owens made the deeply appropriate, and yet highly ironic, move of signing a three-year, $25 million contract with the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, our T.O. - he who once infamously denigrated the Dallas star - is now a hated Cowboy. Not content with this most traitorous of actions, T.O. added insult to injury by posting a lengthy rap on his website in which......

We had hope, but that hope is gone. With four minutes left, the Eagles were beating the Cowboys 20 - 7. They lost the game, 21 - 20. A soft prevent defense allowed the Cowboys to drive the field in a minute and close the gap. The Eagles needed to run out the clock with a couple of first downs via the run, but after one run for 3 yards, the Eagles chose to pass.......

Over the last few days, Phillyist has breathed a sigh of relief that we no longer have the embarrassment of Terrell Owens hanging over our heads. No more impromptu, shirtless press conferences in his driveway, no more fist fights with his teammates, no more anything. Alas, the likes of Jesse Jackson and Ralph Nader have conspired against us -- both have called on the Eagles to turn the other cheek and let Owens back into......

Eagles head coach Andy Reid announced that wide receiver Terrell Owens will not return to the team after serving his four-game suspension. Four games is the maximum number of games that the team can suspend Owens without pay. Let's hope that Reggie Brown doesn't start thinking about a new contract any time soon.......

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......

- CBS is reporting during their broadcast of today's Chargers/Jets game that Andy Reid has announced that Terrell Owens is not suspended, but rather, inactive. Reid wishes to keep his options open, he told reporters. We're not really NFL rules experts here at Phillyist, but we're pretty sure coaches can activate and deactivate players up until game time. So, who knows. There are about 5 more hours to go until game time, so Owens could......

Howard Eskin just reported on WIP that Eagles star wide receiver Terrell Owens will be suspended indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team. Owens will definitely miss Sunday night's game against the Washington Redskins, and may in fact be out longer than that. Owens recently criticized quarterback Donovan McNabb and the entire Eagles organization in an interview with ESPN. Owens apologized for his conduct yesterday, but Reid noted that he had not ruled out a......

Chris Mortensen is reporting at ESPN.com that Terrell Owens has told the Eagles that he may not be available for the Eagles' next two games against the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys. Since T.O. only speaks to Drew Rosenhaus and Dan LeBatard these days, we're not sure is T.O. told the Eagles or had someone else do it. Of course, we're not even sure why T.O. is telling the team this. We figured that......

Just as fans were coming to terms with the Phils missing the playoffs, they switched to Fox and saw that their next big hope, the Philadelphia Eagles, were quickly on their way to a mediocre 2 - 2 start to their season. The Eagles, who followed up a tough opening night loss to Atlanta with two wins over the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders, went down quickly to the Kansas City Chiefs, who pounced......

It was inside-out last night in Philadelphia as the Phillies stepped up big in an important game while the Eagles shrivelled up and fumbled their way to a 14-10 loss to the Atlanta Falcons last night. The Eagles were slow out of the gate, allowing the Falcons to ring up 14 quick points. This might have been due to the Eagles first blunder of the evening, which happened before kickoff. Jeremiah Trotter got into a......

Don't Panic. It's the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy phrase that geeks everywhere love, but it's also the phrase we were muttering to ourselves during last night's 38-31 preseason Eagles loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Eagles opened the game by muffing the opening kickoff and starting at their own six-yard line. Donovan McNabb, facing posible life without Terrell Owens, threw an interception on his first passing attempt of the game. Sure, Greg Lewis screwed......

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. So yeah, we're a bit jealous. Sure,......
