Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.Yes, the Eagles looked good yesterday. But all anyone will talk about today is Donovan McNabb’s rib. He’s day to day. So is the conversation.

I Don’t Get It: Police say a guy went into Philly to buy drugs and left his 6-year-old stepson in the car. Then he couldn’t find it. The kid spent the night locked inside. I don’t get it.

Today’s Upper: Kudos to Upper Darby Officer John Reheffer, who was honored yesterday with the National Libery Museum Award of Valor for his tour of duty in Iraq. Good for him.
