Snooki: F#%* Philly
February 5th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Radio, Sports, hollywood
Snooki had two words and a gesture when asked live on Fox29 what she thought of The City of Brotherly Love.
“Fuck Philly,” she said while flipping the bird to the camera.
In fairness, she had just been booed and heckeled by 20,000 people who packed the Wachovia Center to watch fat guys eat wings.

Mayweather calls out Pacquiao on Twitter
January 7th, 2010 · 10 Comments · Sports
The Floyd “Money” Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao fight may be off for now, but it apparently isn’t due to Mayweather backing out.
The two fighters are now not fighting in the match everyone wants to see over the drug testing controversy. Mayweather wants it and Pacquiao is backing away. You have to wonder what, if anything, [...]
A return to normalcy in Philly
November 5th, 2009 · No Comments · Philadelphia Phillies, Sports
Today, the world feels back to normal. The birds aren’t chirping, and church bells aren’t ringing. The morning coffee tastes more bitter and the eggs are burned. The horns are louder and more abundant thanks to the Septa strike. And, your boss will be hovering over your desk asking for those TPS reports hourly.
World Phucking [...]

Hamels' comments a PR lesson for athletes, pro teams

It's confirmed: Kobe's a sellout
October 16th, 2009 · No Comments · NBA, Sports
Kobe Bryant never was a Philadelphian. Born and raised near the City of Brotherly Love, Bryant never really drank the Philly water, nor did he adopt our blue-collar persona.
Nobody was really surprised when Kobe said he’d “rip the hearts out” of Philly fans when the Sixers faced the Lakers in the 2001 NBA Finals.
