“Philadelphia” on The Daily Caller

Giants quarterback Eli Manning, constantly compared to his quarterbacking brother on the Indianapolis Colts, leads Peyton Manning in one unsung career statistic: fumbles. (more)

Each week this NFL season there have been one or two games worth circling in red. (more)

PHILADELPHIA — Expectations seemed impossibly high for Roy Halladay in 2010. (more)

LANDOVER, Md. – As a morality play, Monday night’s football game between the Eagles and the Washington Redskins might have come up a moral or two short, but as theater, there couldn’t be many complaints. (more)

A COUPLE OF kids figure to add even more juice to the North Carolina-Duke rivalry, a Hurricane hit the Great Wall of China and the Wall hit back, and does anybody know how to get to Iowa City? Watch those elbows, fellas. The annual college basketball primer is coming through. (more)

Some team – most likely the New York Yankees – should show at least a hint of concern about giving Cliff Lee the megamillion-dollar contract he is about to get. (more)

PHILADELPHIA – A civil liberties group filed a federal lawsuit Thursday challenging the use of “stop and frisk” searches by Philadelphia police, alleging that the policy is violating the rights of blacks and Latinos who have done nothing wrong. (more)

PHILADELPHIA – Fox 29 News spotted Tuesday a member of the New Black Panther Party standing outside of a local polling place where voter intimidation was reported two years ago. (more)

SAN FRANCISCO — The beautiful thing about Matt Cain is there’s nothing vague about him, nothing obscure, nothing theoretical. Ask him a question, he gives you an answer. Approach him with something offbeat, and he has nothing to say. “Haven’t thought about it.” Give him a baseball, he pitches it directly — fastball, curveball, slider, change-up — until the manager takes the baseball away from him. (more)

PHILADELPHIA — Its first win a certainty Wednesday, it appeared the Heat didn’t want to stop playing in Philadelphia. It felt that good. (more)

PHILADELPHIA | Joe Sestak is trying so hard to turn out voters here that sometimes he doesn’t appear to know what he’s saying. (more)

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Cody Ross joked it was easy for San Francisco Giants fans to chant “Cody! Cody!” during his stellar postseason because his name was only two syllables. (more)

SAN FRANCISCO – The 2010 Phillies are the team that drove expectations more than any team in franchise history. It is a big statement, but true. They are the team that managed to convince the two most hard-to-convince cities, Philadelphia and Las Vegas, that they were going to win the World Series. A week ago, the world was sure that a championship was nigh. As the great man sings: High hopes, indeed. (more)

How nice of little Cody to let all his friends play, too. (more)

SAN FRANCISCO – The hard decision really wasn’t that hard for Phillies manager Charlie Manuel. Despite days of public coyness, he appears to have made it a while ago and correctly has not wavered. Starting Joe Blanton in Game 4 of this teetering National League Championship Series makes sense. Throwing your entire starting staff out of whack in order to get Roy Halladay on the field tonight on 3 days’ rest does not make sense. (more)

IF YOU combined the Eagles’ quarterbacks into “Michael Kolb,” as Andy Reid jokingly did after Sunday’s game, you’d get a 64.7 percent completion rate, 1,603 passing yards through six games, 11 touchdowns, two interceptions and a 103.3 passer rating – which would rank this mythical QB second in the NFL, behind only Peyton Manning. (more)

It’s a funny thing about the Phillies: they have lived in the October cauldron for 4 seasons now but they have usually managed to avoid the worst of the heat. (more)

When the Phillies take the field Saturday night to a sold-out, towel-waving crowd in South Philadelphia, they will continue a major-league record. Five Phillies – Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Carlos Ruiz, and Shane Victorino – have each started in 33 consecutive postseason games, the longest such streak for five players on any one team. Another, Jayson Werth, has started 32 straight in the postseason. (more)

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Giants manager Bruce Bochy is planning to tweak his rotation for the NL championship series, moving up left-hander Jonathan Sanchez to go Game 2 against the Philadelphia Phillies following ace Tim Lincecum. (more)
