Video: Phil Allen is my hero
Phil Allen is a Philadelphia sports fan. He's kinda known in Philly circles and one of the most passionate fans around. Recently, I was chatting with James (co-worker over at Joystiq) about E-A-G-L-E-S: The Movie and I realized I didn't have it! So I rectified that and uploaded the above segment (my favorite portion of the film) for all of the internet to enjoy.
It's no secret that Philly hates Dallas -- the Eagles-Giants rivalry is way older but, as a kid who grew up in the '90s, I grew up hating Dallas. And the above video is the best explanation for how the city of Dallas was founded. Ever.
"I don't make friends with Cowboys fans. I wouldn't even make a baby with a Cowboys fan. Please." Awesome.
Shawn Andrews gets his Michael Phelps on, loses mind in process
If you think Michael Vick signing with the Eagles is the biggest story of this season, you're dead wrong. It should be Shawn Andrews and his coining of a phrase that will forever be trapped in my lexicon: Getting my Michael Phelps on. It's the subject of his latest YouTube video and the inspiration for some beat-filled nonsense he's decided to spew out onto the internets. I'm not sure what "getting my Michael Phelps on" means, but, at this point, I'm pretty sure it would only ruin the fun.
In the process of putting his video out there, he reveals a few things about himself:
- He's absolutely insane
- His home decor knowledge is limited to Spongebob Squarepants and black wall paint
- He's absolutely insane
- He wants to be Blade, the vampire hunter
- He's absolutely insane
It's okay, Shawn. Thanks for sharing. That's what the internet's for!

One down, three to go
The Phils put the screws to the Brewers last night, in their first game of a four-game series. This is pretty important, because we're 3 games back from the Brewers in the Wildcard race, meaning we can tie with them if we sweep this series. With them playing in such a slump lately and the Phils on a hot trend (Ryan Howard hitting is big time), I'm confident they can whip out the broom.
Game two starts tonight at 7:05PM ET tonight.
Man gets hammered on Philly subway
Not the good kind of hammered, either, like the kind of hammered I get. Instead, this dude gets on the subway and randomly whips out a hammer and proceeds to pound this guy who's sleeping. How friggin' rotten is that? What gets me is how everyone is all crazy about nobody helping him. Dude, he had a hammer. He could've killed anyone with one hit. I wouldn't have gotten near that dude, either.
