The Philadelphia Union made it official this afternoon – Bimbo is the new sponsor that will have its name emblazoned on the team’s jersey. If you haven’t heard by now, it’s pronounced [...]
Happy Birthday, Kyle!
Thursday, January 13th, 2011Today is my oldest son’s 10th birthday. He is now in double digits. A “tweener.” God help me, I’m getting old. It’s been a busy year for the boy. Between school, soccer, and lacrosse, his free time is maxed out, yet he still decided to take on another adventure: the school band. Kyle wanted to [...]

Human Head Found Behind NJ Church
Wednesday, January 12th, 2011I don’t remember Cliffside Park, New Jersey as being a hotbed of violent crime. I certainly didn’t think it was chock full of mafiosos.

Baltimore Police Officer Killed By Friendly Fire
Wednesday, January 12th, 2011There’s no question that there’s a lot of risk involved in my profession. We have to deal with dangerous people, and many of them are armed. Most of us expect to be involved in violent confrontations, but none of us expect to be shot by one of our own. Sadly, that happened in Baltimore. Baltimore [...]
Pope Benedict XVI: Names Matter
Tuesday, January 11th, 2011On Sunday, Pope Benedict XVI stated that members of the faith should give their children “a Christian name.” Oh noes, the horror! The pontiff made the remarks after performing a baptism inside the Vatican. As a result, he was thoroughly ripped in the Italian media: If you’re Catholic and are expecting a baby don’t even [...]
Court Ruling Opens Door To TV Nudity
Tuesday, January 11th, 2011Do you remember all those times where I ripped the court system? I take it all back. The US Second Circuit Court of Appeals has vacated the $1.21 million in fines that the FCC levied against ABC after alleging that the network violated broadcast indecency standards for daring to show actress Charlotte Ross’ naked behind [...]
Eagles Fans Show Their True Colors
Tuesday, January 11th, 2011People always ask me why I’m not an Eagles fan. They can’t understand why I don’t root, root, root for the home team. Well, I have big problems with idiot owner Jeff Lurie, Fat Andy Reid, and that felon quarterback they signed. And while those people may eventually leave the team, I probably still won’t [...]
Major Richard “Dick” Winters, 1918-2011
Sunday, January 9th, 2011Longtime readers of SYLG know that Dick Winters is a personal hero of mine, and I wanted nothing more in life than to meet him in person. Sadly, that will never happen, as we lost Major Winters on January 2nd. He requested a private, unannounced funeral service, which took place on Saturday. He was 92 [...]
