I know there are quite a few MLB and NFL fans out there. I'm just reaching out to the group, seeing how you all feel, especially the other Philly natives. For those of you who don't know, Harry Kalas was one of the top (I'd say easily the number 1) baseball announcers in history. He was the Myron Cope, the Harry Caray of Philadelphia, but a bit more with all the national notoriety he also held as the voice of NFL films. I spent every summer of mine with Harry's voice tuned while playing outside or chilling inside. I let him take me on the amazing ride that was this past postseason. I didn't get to hear his final pitch live, as I was at the game, but I got to be there live, as he sung "High Hopes" with the crowd after we won the World Series. Harry Kalas died yesterday in the announcing booth an hour or so before the game in DC started between the Nationals and the Phils. I, and many of my family and friends, feel so lost without the deep, edged voice to guide us through our summers...

really people? I find it funny, being someone who totally supported McCain, that I have more trust in Obama in this crisis to nationalize the banks and then send 'em on their way when they are righted.

Nationalization is the worst thing one can do right now. It might make the numbers look better at first, but it never works out in a long term. Really? I mean Geithner doesn't deny that the big assumption is that these assets have an actual intrinsic good value. The're toxic...which means this plan will just prop up their value...aka inflate. It's a leverage game that looks just like the type of 6 to 1, 12 to 1 leverage that got us here. In any case, I hope the plan works, but if it doesn't it only makes it tougher to do what's necessary to fix the problem. Is that nationalization? Seems to be.

The Obama deception is fear mongering. I'm actually critical of Obama for not spending enough. I'm with Krugman on this one. And I think Nationalization is probably the better move than the bank rescue he planned. I'm gonna give him time on this one. That said, Obama could have made the stimulus (while needing to be almost double it's 800B amount) more "stimulative" by directly focusing on infrastructure. The idea that contraceptives were considered stimulus by Pelosi just shows that neither party is the rational party.

Doesnt recording in the studio with no real intent to release/make profit show TRUE love for the game? you can't deny that this own words these last 6 months showed an apathy to the game.

SLKFDLSKJFLSDJFLDSKJFLSDJF I'm actually realizing that he was IN THE STUDIO...and not just walking around, but RHYMING TO SOMETHING. I have a worry it will be like 2 min on K. Smiths album BUT WHO CARES... IT'S SOMETHING and it shows he has SOME kind of love for the game still.....

.................................. Nova. .................................. All that needs to be said.

Well it ain't LL who is letting money dictate him...I mean he could have gotten more sales if he said "Exit 13" would be his last album BEFORE it was released. Respect, but hopefully he pulls a Jay-z, just without the dud that was "Kingdom Come"....

I agree...partly because Party Starter and Hero are the same beat....no complaints though

Um, I'd just like to say, the MLB USA'ers seem focused on either playing light during the classic, as to not get hurt, or just abstaining from going to the tournament. That factors in bigtime.

Your dads a very smart man! Now that's just dilusional

HAHAHAHHAHA. MUWHAhAHAHHhaAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.

Nuff said.

After listening to 5 seconds of TI, and knowing Dre's history of ghostwriters, I think this could very well be the cover vocals for him to eventually rap. At least TI's part, as it is very methodically different from TI's usual work. It's hard though to say Nas' lyrics are tuned for Dre in the same way.

I just wish Will would see how big a reaction he gets for a rumor about music. I think it says something about the fervor that would be unleashed. People need him.

Uh, I'd just like clarify, I made gains.

HAHA YEAH 215 is the area code...hailing from the 2 1 5 we say.

Seriously man, Roidriguez doesn't get any sympathy. A-Fraud cheated, so A-Fraud lost any credibility. The sport should hurt. That's the reality. If I found out Ryan Howard did drugs, I'd want him out of the league. He'd disappoint me so much to be his fan that I wouldn't want him to show his face. I can't see how anyone can be pleased with A(nabolic)lex.

I agree. I hate Pittsburgh. Larry Fitzgerald and Kurt Warner deserve the win.

I'm pretty choked up. It's funny, here in a little French town in Normandy (right where Obama referenced the Allied Invasion in World War Two), I see so much hope (along with so many posters of Obama) by people so far removed by distance, but not by fraternity, from the United States. It makes me pretty proud to see the whole process, especially from abroad. I watched ABC, CNN, and CBS simultaneously on my computer here. I loved to see such a peaceful, exciting event. It's even more amazing, and humbling to see the influence my country's political/economic process has upon other, even older countries here in Europe. My president has my goodwill. God Bless, and let's get started.

Just so I'm not a hater, I gave the album another shot. I still have the toughest time listening to the album. It just doesn't work for me.

Just watch..

McNabb with the phone...Hello, New York...SEE YA!!!

McNabb IS GREAT and will prove it Sunday
