In need of a hockey writer to string one game, and potentially two, at the NCAA Division I Women's Hockey Frozen Four at Ridder Arena. Interest is Cornell. Semifinal game is Friday night, March 19. Championship game is Sunday, March 21. If Cornell advances, we'd need both covered. Shoot me a PM...

Holding steady at 25 cents per gallon since what seems like 1980.

I'll back up the John Davis supporter. He's a good guy and talented. You'll learn from him. Also, the South Delaware beaches - particularly Dewey - can be a lot of fun in the summer.

**** Jerardi at the Philly Daily News. Leading the Big 5 beat is pretty damn cool...

The last home game (D-I) I covered, the home coach was asked two questions by the former SID that's now retired. I was floored.

All good stuff, particularly the quarter pole. And this "scandalgate" bull**** has to stop. I've been saying it to my wall for three years. Over the last three days, I've heard this Patriots thing referred to on the WWL as: CameraGate, SpyGate and VideoGate. Uggh.

Amen Zeke.

I'm also a big fan of the complaint that stems from not putting Johnny or Susie's name in the roundup, because "they have college coaches interested in them and when you don't put their name in the paper the college coaches won't be interested in them anymore." Love it.

I've gotten two "Why can't you cover the JV games too, they work just as hard and deserve it just as much" calls this week. Those are always great.

While the place may be toxic (who knows, it's been a couple years since I was there), the staff itself is as good a bunch to work with as you're going to find. There's quite a bit of talent there, too. It's unfortunate that JRC has to screw it up... Good luck to whoever takes it...at the very...

http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/phillies/20070726_Blasting_impression.html Final score, anyone? Of course, you can do the math and eventually figure it out. Seriously though, my guess is that the DN probably used a graphic box or something for the score in the print edition, then forgot to...

This is the lead... RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- When a Bad Newz Kennels dog was wounded in a losing fight, NFL star Michael Vick was consulted before the animal was doused with water and electrocuted. That's just one of the gruesome details that emerged Tuesday when the Atlanta Falcons quarterback...

Again, didn't cover it, but as soon as I read the thread title I thought of this game. An overflowing Palestra, 1996. PIAA Class AAAA semifinal. Lower Merion and a kid named Kobe Bryant vs. Coatesville and a kid named Rip Hamilton. Truly a back-and-forth game I'll never forget.
