    if there is so much of an uproar over the redskins' name....why does nobody say anything about this fucking tomahawk chop that has been played out for 2 decades now?


    also, cole hamels is bound to throw a no hitter sooner or later...

    ....well, he had a a few assists, but i'll take it. ha

    COLE FUCKING HAMELS (and diekman, giles, and papelschong)!
    does cole fucking hamels know you have a new man crush on the PSU QB?

    Lincecum finishes his no-nos, even when he's at 140+ pitches (course, he is in the bullpen now ;) )

    If I had known then what I know now...

    yes and if he wins will probably be the worst player in baseball history to ever win one. hard to believe the top average is only .314 in the NL.

    Bar Rescue in Philly this week. I gotta find Jon Taffer. I do know Westies is being filmed next week and the wife knows the owner. Gonna try to get in there for that. Gotta do the stress test. I want to see Taffer freak out in person.

    Lickety Split on South Street. The opening is tomorrow.

    And West Tavern (Westies) at 15th and Callowhill. Like I said, the wife went to high school with the owner of that. Heard that was happening for a couple months now. I don't believe there has been any filming there yet though.

    Nutter Agrees To Sign Bill Softening Marijuana Laws in Philadelphia



    y Mike Dunn
    PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Mayor Nutter today agreed to sign into law a bill that essentially decriminalizes possession of small amounts of marijuana. But he says he’ll sign it only after City Council tweaks certain details of the measure.
    The original bill, authored by councilman Jim Kenney, would have police issuing citations akin to a parking ticket for possession of one ounce of pot or less.
    The Nutter administration and police officials had reservations about that approach. Now, Kenney and the mayor have reached agreement on a compromise: the infraction would result in what’s called a “non-summary civil offense.”
    “We’ve gotten to a place where it is out of the criminal realm,” Kenney said today. “There’s no more handcuffs, no more bookings, no more criminal record. Police will not have to leave their posts and go to the station house to deal with this. People will pay a fine based on the offense: $25 for the possession of anything under an ounce.”
    Anyone cited would be required to make an appearance before a Municipal Court judge, but there would be no criminal record. Those caught smoking marijuana in public would face a $100 fine, which could be waived if they agree to several hours of public service.
    Kenney says this approach will spare more than 4,000 people from being arrested each year, and will save the Philadelphia Police Department about $4 million a year.
    “There will be no criminal record for an individual. And that’s a major step,” Kenney notes. “We have so many people that we are putting in the prison pipeline, and the poverty pipeline, because a criminal record is a debilitating thing.”

    Mayor Nutter praised Kenney’s efforts and says the councilman’s original opened his eyes about the issue and prompted the administration to study how other cities were handling possession of small amounts of pot.
    “So I think the agreement ends up putting the city and our citizens in a much better place,” Nutter said, adding that decriminalizing pot possession is not the same as condoning marijuana use.
    “It’s not. This is about how we deal with penalties in that regard. And there will be penalties. There’s a consequence to people violating the law,” Nutter said.
    The Kenney bill will be amended this coming Thursday, when City Council returns from its summer recess. It would then undergo another final vote one week later, then sent to the mayor for his signature.

    That's awesome. Hopefully more kids will follow in his footsteps. Now queue up the "no one gives a shit about soccer" comments.

    Any of you Philly guys hitting up shows on the fall tour? I'm doing Moline and Milwaukee...can't wait.

    that's the type of athletes the US will need in the future to compete.

    hitting St. Paul. show. Sunday night, no eagles game. heading in Saturday. should be a good time.

    Yeah, man, for sure. Need more of those 6'4'' 215 lb athletic soccer players, haha. Definitely good news though.

    No go for me. Would have done Denver if it wasn't in the middle of the week. Think Fixer is going to a few.

    Nice, I've heard that arena in St. Paul is awesome. I thought about hitting St. Paul too but that's a hike from Moline and would be brutal trying to get to Milwaukee the next night.

    Yep, imagine having a pool of players to pick from that had the athleticism of Altidore...maybe on day.

    Yeah I've already been talking to Fixer about meeting up in Moline. Would love to do more shows, but have 2 other trips this fall already...wouldn't go over very well with the wife.

    Yeah, dude, no doubt. Someday.

    Nice. Yeah, I wish I could. Nothing was that intriguing to me, to come from the East Cost, so didn't try to push it with the wife.
