		<title>Welcome back, Brett Myers! (And: Us!)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, well, well&#8230; You may have noticed a gaping hole in your life, unrelated to the downward spiral of everything falling apart around you. It&#8217;s true; we&#8217;ve been sorely lacking in content these past few weeks. Lacking so sorely, in fact, that it was down next to nothing. Right next to nothing. So close to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ode to the Unsung Hero</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you all know, our beloved Philadelphia Phillies are on the comeback trail, surging to a 12-2 record in the past 14 games.  There are 22 games left in the month of August, 16 of them at home.  Need I remind you, they are currently on an 11 game win streak when playing in front [...]]]></description>

		<title>Being a Philly Fan…A Good Thing???</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dare I say it?  I shouldn’t, I couldn’t, I mustn’t, I wouldn’t… actually, I think I will. Overall, it is a great time to be a Philadelphia Sports Phanatic (Canada changed the spelling of center, so we definitely have the right to make changes as we see phit). I don’t know about everyone else, but despite [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let the Kevin Kolb Era Begin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[FYI: The NFL season begins in T minus seven weeks for our beloved Philadelphia Eagles. I don’t know about other Eagles fans, but I have never been more excited for the season to begin. When you look at the Eagles&#8217; roster, there are two players with 10-plus years of experience&#8211;David Akers and Juqua Parker. This [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s French for &#8216;no-trade clause&#8217;? Ask Simon Gagne</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In non-LeBron-related news (as if there was such a thing!), RDS (in French) and CSNPhilly&#8217;s Sarah Baicker (in English) are reporting that Simon Gagne has not waived his no-trade clause. Gagne, speaking with French reporters, said what we all knew: That he had a no-trade clause. What we thought we know, though, was that he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Charlie and his guys: A baseball story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We all know Charlie Manuel as a fun-loving, easy-going baseball guy with a slight kink in his delivery of the English language. It&#8217;s just who he is, and he&#8217;s never tried to hide it. Wouldn&#8217;t do any good, in his view. Manuel will be managing the NL All-Stars for the second straight year for next [...]]]></description>

		<title>2010 World Cup Football [see also: soccer] Power Rankings: ‘Committee for Who Wins’ takes on Week 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey Venuers, how you doing? Still balling? Thought so… K, so, look. We’re all pretty pissed about this whole “World Cup thing” at this point…. I mean, am I wrong or am I wrong? Not saying the lot of us wouldn’t do the whole thing over again if we could, mind you. Matter of fact, [...]]]></description>

		<title>It’s a Second-Base-Tastrophe! What to Do if Your Guy Went Down</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dustin Pedroia, Placido Polanco (he’s eligible at second), and worst of all (because he was my 1st rounder in two separate leagues) Chase Utley, who is now out 5-6 weeks. They’ve all gotten injured very recently, and they’ve all been very viable fantasy options this year. As always, there are things you can do to [...]]]></description>

		<title>2010 NHL Free Agency Preview (or: Who the Flyers could get)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The NHL offseason has seemed very short after the Flyers&#8217; run to the Stanley Cup Finals. We&#8217;re not exactly used to the Orange and Black making a deep postseason run of that sort (had not happened since &#8217;97), so it is surprising how quickly the NHL Draft and free agency period approach when your team [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bryant to Go to Cleveland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post originally written by YT Crooks from Venuing Voices. Everyone seems to think that the biggest story of this season’s NBA free agent drama will be where LeBron James ends up. But I think the bigger story is where Kobe Bryant is heading. In a bid to solidify his claim as the best basketball [...]]]></description>

		<title>You&#8217;ll still have Michael Leighton to kick around</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So much for Patrick Kane&#8217;s overtime goal in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals being the last we&#8217;ve seen of Michael Leighton as a Flyer. Leighton, the waiver-wire wonder who personally mimicked the roller-coaster season the Flyers, signed a two-year deal with the Flyers today. The contract is worth $3.1 million total—$1.5 million this [...]]]></description>

		<title>2010 NBA Free Agency Preview (Or: Who the Sixers can&#8217;t get)</title>

Maybe you missed Dirk Nowitzki and Paul Pierce opting out of their contracts to pursue free agency. And maybe, just maybe, you thought the Sixers had a chance to sign just one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Farewell, Rod the Bod</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Former Flyers and current Carolina Hurricanes center Rob Brind&#8217;Amour is expected to announce his retirement today. Brind&#8217;Amour, who began his career with St. Louis before being traded to the Flyers in 1991, was one of the most popular players in the city before being traded to Carolina for Keith Primeau during the 1999-2000 season. Brind&#8217;Amour [...]]]></description>

		<title>Disney Loses Out On Its Next Inspirational Sports Movie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Reflecting on USA’s World Cup Run and Looking Ahead to 2014 Unfortunately, luck ran out for the United States Men’s National Team this past Saturday, as it dropped to Ghana for the second straight time in World Cup play, 2-1. Once again, USA conceded an early goal and looked flat during the first half. Once [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can the Phillies overcome?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By now you&#8217;ve probably heard the apocalyptic news that both Chase Utley and Placido Polanco have been placed on the 15-day DL. You also are probably dealing with the physical aftermath of the emotional decision you made to jump off the Phillies 2010 World Series Champions bridge specially constructed for this season. You can&#8217;t totally [...]]]></description>
