Final JGTAI Scores

Here they are, the scores at the end of the JGTAI. Teams in yellow are the teams that made the cut. There are always a few teams who decline the honor, so teams in blue are almost certainly going to get an invite, but not until I have gotten declined invites. Now, if your team did not make the cut and you still want to participate in Sunday’s event, there is still hope. It is now wild card week. Any team finishing first or 2nd will earn an automatic invite to Sunday’s event. Live music and great drink and food specials, and big prizes for the winners. Your best chance to finish first or 2nd? Definitely North Star tonight. After that, your best bet to get a win would be O’Neals, City Tap House, or Ugly American. Gonna be a fun event. More details coming this afternoon to teams who made the cut.

Frazier Vs. Rocky

Here’s the latest piece I did for the Philly Post, on the death of Joe Frazier. I know it sounds like I’m hating on Rocky. I’m not, I think it’s a pretty damn good film (the first one, at least). I just think it’s a shame that we lavished so much praise on him and more or less ignored a guy who represented everything we claim to love. To watch the Thrilla in Manila between Frazier and Ali, click here.

In case you missed it: I did a piece earlier this week about our stangest and most interesting mayors. Last week, I did one on the raven that inspired both Dickens and Poe.
