President Bush really enjoys the view, watching Kerri Walsh, a leader of the U.S. Olympic Women’s Beach Volleyball team.

John Smallwood from the Philadelphia Daily News has an insightful take on the Philadelphia Eagles and their upcoming 2008 season. This team is built for success… now. Will it be achieved? Possibly. I see a 10-6 season with a first-round playoff win ahead. But we are still a stud WR & sack producing D-Lineman short of a return trip to the Super Bowl.

Perhaps not unsurprisingly, you won’t be able to find a tasty dish of “fragrant meat” (aka Dog) at the Summer Olympics in Beijing.

Well, it was fun while it lasted, but the Flyers have succumbed to the superior puck handling of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Their defense was too slow & stodgy for the likes of Malkin & Crosby. Biron, who shone against the positional shooting of the Montreal Canadiens, seemed to be left frozen at times as the nimble Penguins shooters made flashy moves and stuffed quick rebounds. The swift skates of Briere and Carter could never produce any sustained offensive threats.

However, Pittsburgh Twidiots take note: your 4-1 drubbing is on deck.

This series against the Penguins won’t be easy without All-Star defenseman Kimo Timonen, and with Miss Sidney Lee Crosby on the other side of the ice. But take a few minutes and enjoy highlights from the great series vs. the Canadiens before Game 1 tonight.

Boy, there’s enough crap on Break.com to keep you occupied for a week…

Wow. As D-Mac from Philadelphia Will Do put it:
“oh my God, this is the greatest thing in the history of bad music and sports.”

One of the best Philly sports teams ever. In one of the most god awful productions ever.

Presenting your 1988 Philadelphia Eagles — many of whom (Jerome, Reggie, Andre) are no longer with us a mere 20 years later — and their Pièce de résistance (that’s French for “piece of resistance”. No, really.), Buddy’s Watching You.

Kyle sure seemed to think so. The reporters almost blew it…
Even made the real news. “Kobayashi” — the diminutive hot dog eating champ — didn’t tip him off…

Thanks David!

Let us never forget about… you know, that horse… that won that race… that one time… and then died.

You’ve probably already seen this a few times, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t archive this gem here forever.
