Shady McCoy Trade… Farewell


Sports

I turn my thoughts back 5 years. It was Easter, April 4th, 2010 when we were really blindsided. I don’t recall hearing any rumblings prior to finding out the news that, at least by my standards, the greatest quarterback in Philadelphia history had been traded to the Washington Redskins. Donovan McNabb was no longer with […]

Adios Cable. I’m Officially a Cable Cutter


Money, Television

Well it’s settled. Just got off the phone with Verizon and only 2 more weeks until I’m officially a cable cutter. I do have to thank FiOS for making it as painless as possible.

Get Rid of Cable – Picture Quality


Television

Only about 2 more months until my FiOS cable contract is up. Honestly, I have already contacted them to see what kind of deals they could give me to stay but they don’t want to hear anything about it; all they keep trying to do is upsell me on features when all I’m trying to […]

The Phillies Downfall


Sports

This has been a long time coming. The Phillies are dead and it’s going to be a while before we see any meaningful baseball in Philadelphia. This team is a disgrace and I finally got disgusted the other night when I turned on the ball game and you could see the disgust on Chase Utley’s […]

Philly Beer Week 2014 is upon us and although I don’t typically plan to take full advantage of it each year, I do keep my eye out for an event or 2 to check out. Yesterday I found and caught my white whale despite thinking the ship had sailed long ago so to speak. In […]

2014 NBA Mock Draft


Sports

Playoffs? What playoffs? Nobody cares about the playoffs. The markets left in the playoffs at this point have a population of like 12. Sure, a Heat/Spurs Finals rematch might be a great series to watch but, honestly, last night the world stopped and everyone set their sights on the future. And after having the 2014 […]
