With football season on the horizon, it’s time for that annual Philadelphia tradition: blaming Donovan McNabb for everything. Yes, they’re gearing up in the local newsrooms and radio stations to blame Donovan for speaking his mind, for not speaking his mind, for running too much, for passing too much, for the local crime rate, etc. Well, we’ve decided to take it a step further and start a website, donovansfault.com, that literally blames him for everything that has ever gone wrong in world history. And I want your help. Please send me ideas for different things that we can blame Donovan for (donovansfault@isportacus.com) and please be sure to vote on the ones that are already posted.

UPDATE: Forgot to mention, whoever’s Donovan’s Fault entry receives the highest score through voting wins a gift certificate to a local restaurant or bar at the end of the month valued at $20.

Why JA Happ is better than Cole Hamels.

Is Cole Hamels arm shot?

Philly, still a football town.

• A couple of days ago, I asked, “Are Eagles Fans Ruining Baseball in this Town?” The comments included one gentleman who wrote, “I really wish you were killed in that bar fight so I wouldn’t have to read this retarded s***.” To see how I responded click above. I also got blasted on the Eagles website message board after posting the same thing there (not surprisingly). “I’d like to kick your f’in teeth in to your windpipe after every Eagles touchdown,” said one commenter (whose avatar is a woman’s primary sexual organ). Well, considering the rate at which teeth grow back, I would suggest that such a stunt would be anatomically impossible. 
• The petition to encourage the Phils to play “High Hopes” during the 7th Inning Stretch is at almost 300 signatures. If you haven’t signed it already, what are you waiting for? 
• The Phils steal Cliff Lee from the Indians, which leads to the question: who will be the #5 pitcher? 

Hey kids, just started a petition over on isportacus in which we respectfully ask the Phillies to play High Hopes in the 7th Inning instead of Take Me Out to the Ballgame. If you want to know why we feel this way and/or want to sign the petition, click here. 

I was at that Phils game last night, and wow. I’ve watched hundreds of pro baseball games live, but I’ve never seen a team score 22 runs before. That was unreal. Up 10-0 in the first, I spent much of the evening just sort of lazily strolling the ballpark, which was great because I ran into Nate from the Kingdom and Greg from Savage Henry. I also pitched at the pitching machine, which malfunctioned and said that one of my pitches went 22 mph, which was really embarrassing because the people waiting in line didn’t know it malfunctioned, so they probably thought I was a pathetic weakling (and we all know that nothing could be further from the truth.) Also, while waiting in line, I saw a dude with a unicorn tattoo on his arm. And it wasn’t ironic. Wow. Anyways, here are some fun stats and Philly firsts from last night’s game.

How Mike Tyson is like Michael Jackson.

Very cool interview with author of book about Philadelphia legend Chief Bender.

The worst theory ever on why soccer isn’t popular in the United States.

The tennis player who looks like my ex-girlfriend.
