Joe Paterno is a Piece of Trash

By now, there should be little doubt that Joe Paterno interfered with an investigation targeting his good friend and co-worker Jerry Sandusky, who was recently found guilty of child molestation. If you have been living under a rock, independent reports have now pretty much confirmed and provided evidence showing that Joe Paterno dismissed blatant evidence that Sandusky was guilty of this and corroborated with officials at the school to cover it up. Nothing new, really. There is something very prolific about how this entire story unfolded, however. Culminating at the end of his life, Paterno faced the heavy burden…

The Moon Rises, the Phillies Season Sets

1.) I finally got to see Wes Anderson’s new film “Moonrise Kingdom” yesterday and let me just say that it was well worth the wait. That movie was incredible, 4 stars 4 sure. But then again, I love practically all (I’m looking at you Darjeeling Limited) of Wes Anderson’s movies so maybe I’m not the best person to go to for an unbiased opinion. It’s too early to say that it’s definitely his best movie, but I think that it’s in the conversation. Royal Tenenbaums still probably holds the crown though in my opinion (it’s hard to beat lines…

All-Star Weekend Yippiee!!!!

It’s summer time folks. Officially. There’s something very pleasant about the MLB All-Star Weekend. It usually means I’ve been to the beach several times already and my body is so sun-burnt that wearing T-shirts have become nearly impossible. There’s just something really awesome about the All-Star week for baseball that blows the other All-Star weekends for sports out of the water. The NBA? Yea, half the athletes don’t want to be there and the dunk contest has a bunch of no-names. The celebrity game usually makes for a good hour of TV, but aside from that, it’s a snore…

Magic Beans

Another great post by the Wolfman My father texted me the other day with this gem, “Trade Kendrick (Kyle) for a bag of magic beans.” Kendrick had just surrendered five first inning runs to the Pirates, and though a decent spot starter at times, Phils fans have just grown tired of these random pathetic outings. Of course, this is not the first time magic beans have been a part of one of my dad’s mythological trade scenarios. You may remember when Randy Moss was traded to the Patriots for a bag of magic beans, or when Bobby Abreu was…

Spencer Hawes Rants on ObamaCare, Diminishes Already Small Fanbase

Hold the presses! Spencer Hawes is officially against “ObamaCare” and he wants everyone to know that! I certainly don’t want to get into a debate about whether you are for or against the Senate ruling that occurred over the mandated health insurance reform, but I DO want to show some wonderful antics from our favorite under-achieving 7ft center, Spencer Hawes. Say what you will about his play (which I just did by calling him under-achieving), but Adam and I both had no idea that Spencer Hawes, the 76ers player, was so damn conservative. Apparently he was all worked up…

A Quick, Ridiculously Conflicted Rant of College Football Playoffs

I wanted to write about Chase Utley’s debut last night, and his forthcoming start for the Phillies tonight, but I jinx everything, so instead I’m going to discuss something that I have absolutely no emotional investment in whatsoever. Yesterday, a bunch of college presidents had an official announcement of their agreement to move to a 4-seed playoff structure. Did you recognize anyone of those guys? They were made for TV about as much as John Clayton is made for HD (HIYOOOO!) I’ve gone through a terrible swing of opinions about this subject in the past 48 hours, so if…
