CrimeBeat!: Who Took My Slippers!

It's our second edition of CrimeBeat!, the Local Ace Award Winning series. It's been a relatively quiet week in terms of bad behavior by current NFL players, which is somewhat shocking given that St. Valentine's Day is often a particularly troublesome night on the domestic front. Former NFL players are getting

DFO Crime Beat!: It’s Always Stompy In Philadelphia

Welcome to the emotionally-barren frigid wasteland that is the NFL Off-Season. While we will try to fill the void with obsessive draft coverage ("He's got tight hips! He'll never make it as a cornerback!"), dick jokes, methadone sports (hockey, AFL, based-ball) and intoxicants, we can't ignore the other hallowed off-season

Your “Finally!” And “It’s All Over After This?!” Super Bowl Open Thread

Well, somehow we made it. I'm so glad that we didn't have to turn the car around due to bad behavior. Does everyone know which teams are playing? That's what I thought. Between that and Hippo's excellent breakdown of the game I've nothing to say about that end of things

Tom Brady’s PED Scandal, Part 3: Cracks in the Foundation

Here was the thing about last week's AFC Championship game -- whichever quarterback won would need to face a week on Super Bowl Radio Row answering questions which will certainly include vague softballs about his off field regimen, including accusations of illegal performance enhancing substances. With Peyton Manning coming up victorious (17/32,

This is not where I parked my car!
