| It is always the question that we are asked about an important date or event. Where were you, what were you doing, how did you find out etc. ? Today, President Obama told us that a team of special forces conducted a raid on a compound in Pakistan and that Osama Bin Laden had been killed during the fire fight. This is the man we have been hunting for 10 years, one who is responsible for the Sept. 11th attacks and numerous others previous, head of the al Qaeda terrorist group. It seems so easy in...

Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs are set to drop at center ice tomorrow at 3:00pm at the Wells Fargo Center, with the Philadelphia Flyers taking on the Boston Bruins in a rematch from last year's incredible series in which the Flyers overcame a 3-0 deficit to win the series. This is a new year though, and the slate is clean. Both teams have just moved on from 7 game opening series' and the team that can play the strongest will probably have the most success.

| There's nothing like the feeling you get when you've just picked up some new music that you haven't heard yet. A certain level of anticipation as you unwrap the plastic from that CD, tape, record and pull it out of it's case/cover. Put it into the player, lay down the needle, or cue up the track. Then you hit play and the sounds come through the speakers for the first time. It's a reward, this took some effort to obtain. It wasn't a point and click download. You had to go somewhere, walk around... Read More |

| I've always liked the NCAA commercials that say how there are 400,000 student-athletes and most will be professional in something other than sports. As a former NCAA athlete myself, I'm obviously not making a living as a professional cross country runner. Most college sports don't have pro leagues that can even offer the chance at a career or only pay enough to the top few. Basketball is one that does pay very well, and for a lot of talent coming out of college there is very good money to be... Read More |

| Phillies, Sixers, Flyers, oh my... Fall fans don't get me wrong, I love Eagles football, and October baseball especially, but you can't beat this April for non-stop Philadelphia sports almost every day/night of the week. This year we have the Phils off to a predicted great start. The young Sixers are headed back to the playoffs lead by coach of the year candidate Doug Collins. Plus, the Flyers won the division and are hoping to go back to the Stanley Cup finals and finish last year's... Read More |

The Flyers have won the Atlantic Division for the first time in seven years, and are the second seed in the East going into the playoffs after today's 7-4 win over the Islanders to close out the season. They'll meet the Buffalo Sabres in the first round starting Thursday.
We should be cheering and anxiously awaiting another great playoff run from the Flyboys like last year's miracle round after round to the Stanley Cup Finals. However, last year was a surprise treat by an... Read More |

| The wait is over, the anticipation can finally burst, Phillies season is here. This season is probably the most anticipated season of our recent golden age of Phillies baseball, and for once it's not because of our All-Star lineup of batters, but because of... Pitching! A fully stacked deck of starting pitchers ready to deal joker hands to all other teams, at least that's what we all hope. All of this will end in the fall with the realization of our expectations and October baseball and a World... Read More |

Dave Matthews Band had announced last year that they planned on taking this next summer off from touring. They've hit the roads constantly since the early 90's and needed a break. However, today they've announced their own fairly ambitious travelling summer festival. It'll happen 4 times in four different places, yet to be determined. DMB will headline each night with various other acts throughout the days. Here's what they're saying so far:
"Dave Matthews Band will host four... Read More |

| March Madness is in full swing, and the tournament field is now set with two Big 5 teams securing spots in the bracket. Villanova made it despite their horrific 6 game slide to end their season. They'll play Friday as a 9 seed against 8 seed George Mason in the East Region. In the West Region, Temple will play on Thursday as a 7 seed in an interesting match up... against 10 seed Penn State, who hasn't been in the tournament since losing in the sweet 16 to Temple 10 years ago. Penn State had... Read More |
