Babe of the Week.

Here is this weeks babe. Megan Fox....enough said.

Change.

Congratulations are in order to Barrack Obama. The Senator from Illinois will become the 44rd president of the United States as he takes his oath this January. Change seemed to be the slogan for Obama, let's just hope its not all smoke and mirrors for our country is currently in a downward spiral and change is exactly what we need.
I wish Obama and Biden the best of luck in the coming years.

World Champion Parade Pictures

Phinally!

It's 8:30am and I am dressed up in all Phillies gear. Yes it's Halloween, however this is not my costume. The Phillies have done something that hasn't been done in 28 years; WOn the World Series.
Wednesday night was a moment of my life I will remember for a life-time. I will know exactly who I was with, when Lights out Lidge threw that last strike. I will remember what kind of beer I had in my hand. I will remember 1993 and laugh. I will remember that for that moment how it feels like to be winners and I will remember the 2008 Phillies and the place they took in my heart.

This morning as I am getting ready to attend the parade, chills suddenly run though my body and a smile lights up my face. All I can do is say aloud

"Phinally!"

6 Outside The Box Ideas To Increase World Series Ratings

October 21st, 2008 by NextRound

The World Series starts Wednesday night and much is being made of Phillies-Rays not being the most attractive matchup from a ratings standpoint. But since FOX is doing the broadcasting (and they aired Temptation Island) we assume they plan to pull out all the stops in an effort to maximize viewership, so we’ve come up with several outside the box suggestions to increase ratings:


NFL Cheerleaders



Probably the best thing both Tampa and Philadelphia have going for them is each city’s remarkable NFL cheerleader talent. We doubt these pretty ladies’ schedules are so hectic that they can’t take some time out of their week to line the baselines dressed in skimpier versions of those League of Their Own outfits. Bonus entertainment when a foul ball is hit their direction.

Exhibition Wrestling


Why not spice things up with a little pregame wrestling? Kicking things off with an exhibition match pitting Rays fan Brian “Nasty Boy” Hobbs vs. Stallone as Philly’s own Rocky Balboa (a la Rocky III) is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. Maybe work in some celebrity boxing from there.

Booze Off: Wade Boggs vs. Philly



Wade Boggs lives in Tampa, ended his career with the Rays, and boasts the most legendary booze-guzzling status of any man alive. If FOX is serious about manufacturing ratings they’d arrange a “Wade Boggs takes all comers” drink-off vs. the city of Philadelphia. We’re talking Super Bowl sized ratings.

Always Sunny Promos


Major League Baseball loses a lot of street cred when they bombard audiences with promos starring the unfunny likes of Dane Cook and Frank Caliendo. How about, since Philly is in the World Series, the MLB sanctions new promos featuring the gang from Always Sunny in Philadelphia. We’re sure they’d have plenty of clever ideas, like something involving a masturbating bum.


More Jenn Sterger


This is pretty intuitive, seeing that more Jenn Sterger is always better than less Jenn Sterger. And she’d definitely bring friends, which is a bonus. We’re also thinking a Major League-esque life size cut-out of Sterger with removable articles of clothing might just be the motivational tool Rays players need to bring home World Series rings.


Play Football



And finally, the one sure fire way to increase TV ratings is to play football instead of baseball. This strategy is foolproof.

Babe of the week.

Well how about the MILF of the week. Hopefully the next time I see Sarah Palin after the election its in a Playboy not the White House.

We are the team to beat!

I would just like to say thanks to those Fightin Phils for giving us an October for the 2nd year in a row. I have a good feeling about this team and know we can catch that pennant for the first time in 15 long years. Be sure to check out game one Wednesday October 1st. Go Phils!!!

Fightin Phils!!

It's that time again ladies and gents. September baseball heats up as the Phillies try to win the Division for the 2nd year in a row. As usual, we got hot and the NL East Mets are choking. Sound familiar? I have to hand it to the Fightin Phils, for sweeping the NL wildcard leaders the Brewers to take a hold of the Wild Card only to jump to the Divisional Leaders. Those Fightin Phils are home wreckers. No not because Pat the bat slept with my girlfriend but after a good ole' South Philly beating the Brewers fired their manager with 12 games left in the season. After a solid proformance from newbie Happ the Phils beat up on the Braves last night to win their 6th game in a row which beats their previous streak of 5 this season. Keep it boys of summer and Philly watch as the Phils go for 7 in a row tonight against the Braves.

Babe of the week.

I wanted to start something new here on SillyPhilly, I felt there was news, sports, and some funny shit on here but not enough hotties. So I like to introduce the Babe of the week; Eva Mendes. She has been my dream Babe for quite some time now and felt to start with her would be appropriate. I would love for you to send me some photos of your tasty Babes. They can be your girlfriend, dream girlfriend, or of just a Babe you know.

MNF

So the Cowboys and Eagles took the field last night in the most remarkable Monday night game I can remember. With a combination of 77 points and 7 lead changes and a total of 1,165 all purpose yards, this game was a thrill to watch and kept me in suspense til the final minutes. I have to hand it to my Boys of Broad st. They played one hell of a game and if they could just take back the bad hand off to Westbrook in the....well forget that, we still got a chance to win against them in our House. Donovan is back, Westbrook is at his prime, and rookies like Jackson make me feel like this is our year again. Look for the Eagles to bounce back from this loss and go on a tear starting with the Steelers week three, at the link.

Fat Tax

I took a walk today to the local deli and as I was waiting for my bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich I noticed the papers. On the front cover of the Daily News in big black font it read "Fat Tax?"

Thats right ladies and gentlemen Pennsylvania could be implementing this law within the near future. Think they won't? Think again, it has all ready taken place in Japan and in the state of Alabama.

Alabama recently gave its 37,527 overweight government employees a year to slim down and shape up or be prepared to fork over $25 a month for health insurance that otherwise would be free. To my big bro in Alabama; "I told you to watch that gut."

I found the front page so intriguing I bought the Daily News which is unusual since I get my news watching TV on the couch with a bag of potato chips. Unfortunately they forgot to put the newspaper in the bag when they should have forgotten the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese sandwich.

Unemployment

Let me tell you about Unemployment Compensation. It's awesome. The PA labor department is going to give me a weekly check for almost what I was making before getting "let go" at my previous job. I believe in hard work, having a job, and not accepting hand outs, but maybe its time for a little break or vacation if you will, all on the tab of the government. After all, isn't this why we pay taxes?

Teacher Arrested

NEW YORK -- A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule and a calculator.

At a morning press conference, the Attorney General said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement.

He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction. 'Al-gebra is a problem for us', the Attorney General said. 'They desire solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values.'

They use secret code names like 'X' and 'Y' and refer to themselves as 'unknowns', but we have determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country.

As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, 'There are 3 sides to every triangle'.

When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, 'If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes.'

White House aides told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by the President

RIP George Carlin

Last night was a sad one when I had found out that Carlin died. What better to do then watch reruns of his stand-up to cheer me up again. Rest in Peace you son of a bitch.

Medical Malpractice

I am not too sure exactly what they are saying (sorry I don't know Dutch) but I think the guy with the funny voice had an operation where the Doctors accidentally removed his testicles.

100 Seasons

I was born in 1981. The Sixers won the NBA title in 1983. Since then I have gotten to march down Broad street a total of...ummm?? Ohhh yeah, zero times, oh and being 2 years old and marching down Broad St. for reasons I could not comprehend at the time isn't that great. So it has been 100 Seasons since the City of Brotherly Love has seen a championship out of our 4 major sports teams. Sure we got close several times but for Christ's sake that just ain't enough. Here is a little article to remind you why this city needs a good laugh and a Championship.

Why get a job?

Congrats to the College Grads of 2008. I am sure by now most are you are probably sitting there thinking to yourself; "now what?" You may even have your resume updated and sent out all over the web dreaming of making the big bucks. Well guess what, keep dreaming. I found this interesting article written by Steve Pavlina that I hope will inspire you to think outside the "norm". Enjoy.

One Billion Dollars

The next time you hear a politician use the
word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about
whether you want the 'politicians' spending
YOUR tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
but one advertising agency did a good job of
putting that figure into some perspective in
one of it's releases.


A.
A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were
living in the Stone Age.

D.
A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

E.
A billion dollars ago was only
8 hours and 20 minutes,
at the rate our government
is spending it.
While this thought is still fresh in our brain...
let's take a look at New Orleans ...
It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division.

Louisiana Senator,
Mary Landrieu (D)
is presently asking Congress for
250 BILLION DOLLARS
to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number...
what does it mean?

A.
Well... if you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans
(every man, woman, and child)
you each get $516,528.

B.
Or... if you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.

C.
Or... if you are a family of four...
your family gets $2,066,012.

What happened?

And I still have to

Rich People Are Rich Because they are Smart.

Before going to Europe on business, a man drove his Rolls-Royce to a downtown New York City bank and went in to ask for an immediate loan of $5,000.

The loan officer, taken aback, requested collateral and so the man said, “Well then, here are the keys to my Rolls-Royce.”

The loan officer promptly had the car driven into the bank’s underground parking for safe keeping, and gave him $5,000.

Two weeks later, the man walked through the bank’s doors, and asked to settle up his loan and get his car back. “That will be $5,000 in principal, and $15.40 in interest”, the loan officer said. The man wrote out a check and started to walk away.

“Wait sir”, the loan officer said, “while you were gone, I found out you are a millionaire. Why in the world would you need to borrow $5,000?”

The man smiled. “Where else could I park my Rolls-Royce in Manhattan for two weeks and pay only $15.40?

Sticking it to the Man!

DMX on Politics.

Are you following the presidential race?
Not at all.

You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton.
His name is Barack?!

Barack Obama, yeah.
Barack?!

Barack.
What the fuck is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?

Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.
Barack Obama?

Yeah.
What the fuck?! That ain’t no fuckin’ name, yo. That ain’t that nigga’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the fuck outta here.

You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before.
I ain’t really paying much attention.

I mean, it’s pretty big if a Black…
Wow, Barack! The nigga’s name is Barack. Barack? Nigga named Barack Obama. What the fuck, man?! Is he serious? That ain’t his fuckin’ name. Ima tell this nigga when I see him, “Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit” [laughs] “That ain’t your fuckin’ name.” Your momma ain’t name you no damn Barack.

So you’re not following the race. You can’t vote right?
Nope.

Is that why you’re not following it?
No, because it’s just—it doesn’t matter. They’re gonna do what they’re gonna do. It doesn’t really make a difference. These are the last years.

But it would be pretty big if we had a first Black president. That would be huge.
I mean, I guess…. What, they gon’ give a dog a bone? There you go. Ooh, we have a Black president now. They should’ve done that shit a long time ago, we wouldn’t be in the fuckin’ position we in now. With world war coming up right now. They done fucked this shit up then give it to the Black people, ‘Here you take it. Take my mess.’

Eagles Strike Big, Sign CB Samuel

Asante Samuel had no comment when asked if he felt underappreciated during his five years in New England. But he definitely felt the love during his one and only free-agent visit in Philadelphia on Friday.

Almost 17 hours after the marketplace opened, it was announced that the former Patriots cornerback had signed a lucrative six-year deal with the Eagles worth a reported $57 million.

"They say your first visit they normally don't let you leave. That's what ended up happening," Samuel said. "I came here with an open mind. Everybody treated me like I belong here, like I'm wanted. It's a great situation."

Indeed.

One of the league's top cover men, the 27-year-old Samuel brings an impressive résumé --including 16 interceptions over the last two years -- to Philadelphia and adds more star power to an already talented secondary.

alt
CB Asante Samuel is proud to be an Eagle
Where does he fit in, you ask? Head coach Andy Reid said Samuel will be his starting left cornerback for 2008. Beyond that, Reid said "we'll work things out from there."

It's been nearly four years since the Eagles added top-shelf talent in free agency, and Samuel fits that criteria.

A fourth-round draft pick in 2003 out of Central Florida, the 5-foot-10, 185-pound Samuel was considered the top player to hit the free-agent market after emerging as a playmaker with the Super Bowl Champion Patriots. In five seasons in New England, he recorded 22 interceptions in 75 career regular season games and five more interceptions in 14 career postseason games. He was an integral part of New England's NFL history-making perfect regular season in 2007 and has won two Super Bowls with the Patriots.

In 2007, Samuel earned his first Pro Bowl selection after registering six interceptions (one return for a touchdown on Nov. 25 vs. the Eagles), 44 tackles, and 18 passes defensed. He also earned first-team All-Pro honors.

"Being a fourth rounder, you're not going to be given anything in this league," Samuel said. "I just worked my way up and kept working hard and I'm finally getting the respect that I deserve."

Reid said Samuel was the team's number one priority when the free-agent signing period opened.

"We're obviously trying to strengthen the defense," Reid said. "Obviously, I think the cornerback position is very important. When you have an opportunity to get the best one in the business, then you need to look at that. I welcome him aboard, and I know [defensive coordinator] Jim Johnson has great plans for Asante.

"Jim does a heck of a job coordinating the defense and, obviously, the more great defensive players that you add into the mix the better you'll be. Asante is a great player and he'll make great plays for us."

Samuel believes he'll fit right in with Johnson's scheme.

"What I know most is that it's an aggressive defense and they like to get after the quarterback," he said. "[Last year], our offense played against them first-hand, when we played them in the regular season. They gave us some trouble on offense. They were pressuring and getting after the quarterback and playing an aggressive style of defense. I think I fit right in."

Reid and Johnson believe the addition of Samuel -- teamed with Lito Sheppard, Sheldon Brown and Brian Dawkins -- will help the team compete against the exceptional receivers in the NFC East, including the Cowboys' Terrell Owens and the Giants' Plaxico Burress.

Nearly four years after making an opening-day splash with the signing of defensive end Jevon Kearse in 2004, the Eagles were again among the first-day players in free agency. Of course, the 2004 season ended with the franchise's first trip to the Super Bowl in 24 years. Ironically, the team fell to Samuel and the Pats.

In adding Samuel, the Eagles boast one of the deepest and talented secondaries in the NFL as he joins fellow Pro Bowl players Sheppard and Dawkins.

Selected with the 120th overall pick in 2003, Samuel became a starter in 2004 when injuries sidelined Poole and Ty Law. He started for the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX and started at corner the following season as well.

Teaming with Ellis Hobbs, the pair held down the secondary for the Patriots in 2006. By the end of the regular season, Samuel had intercepted a career-high 10 passes, which tied Denver's Champ Bailey for the NFL lead in interceptions during the regular season. Samuel then intercepted two passes and returned them both for touchdowns in the playoffs.

A year ago, the Patriots locked him up for one season with the franchise tag. Samuel played under the tag with the agreement that the team would not place the franchise tag on him again for 2008.

New England did not and now Samuel is an Eagle.

Online Dating?

I was bored at work the other day and thought I would put up a post on Craigslist. I posted one on the personal section of men looking for women. You would not believe the responses I had received. I did it as a joke at first but then took it seriously when I was getting responses from some really cool and hot women. Here is what I posted:

My Journey

I just got back from Alaska where I was building igloos for the Eskimo homeless. It was there I realized even after tracking down Saddam Hussein , ending the cold war, coming close to curing cancer, and kicking Chuck Norris's ass that my life was still incomplete. I continued my journey from Alaska and walked across the Bering Straight through Russia, around the Sea of Okhotsk, to find myself in a small Tibetan town. It was here during Losar, the Tibetan New Year Festival that I realized what was missing in my life. I needed to find myself a woman. So I decided to head west. My journey continued through Europe where I came short on traveling funds and had to join the Manchester United Football Club. After scoring the game winning goal in the Premiere League Championship I cashed my signing bonus and got a one way flight to Philadelphia. The plane crashed somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic. It was here a real test of manhood took over me. All 120 passengers except for me where unconscious,drowning, and circled with Great Whites. As I fended off the sharks I continued to search for the passengers and pulling them up to the life raft. I found all 119 passengers. The only problem was that now there wasn't enough room for me on the raft. Since I was all ready half way to America I decided to swim. One week later I finally washed up on the shores of New Jersey. I hung out on this nice Island they called Sea Isle, caught a tan, and a well deserved drink. The girls there where nice but I knew it wasn't going to be a Jersey girl that I would fall for. I am no Bruce. So finally I made it to Philly. Now I am here on CL personal adds because after being in Philly for a few years I still haven't found "her". Please help me for I am exhausted.
