Top 5 Most Spectacular Falls From Grace by Philly Athletes

"For who? For what?"

It looks like Terrell Owens has reached the end of the road, as he was released by the Seahawks a couple of days ago. He is and will forever be a lightning rod in Philadelphia. His explosive, record-setting 2004 season made him a hero in Philadelphia, and a Super Bowl performance that season made him an instant legend. And then ... the bottom dropped out. There was the holdout, the dissing of McNabb, the sit-ups in the driveway, the press conference in the lawn. It went from the ridiculous to the sublime, and less than a year after one of the most inspiring Super Bowl performances in history, he was no longer a part of the team and was a pariah in Philadelphia. Never has there been a more spectacular fall from grace in this city's sports history.

How Philly Comedians Handle Hecklers

Three comics talk the Daniel Tosh "rape joke" and what every heckler deserves.

Last week, comedian Daniel Tosh's handling of a heckler started a firestorm online. His remarks were out of line, but a lot of people seemed to miss the fact that heckling a standup comic during a show is equivalent to yelling at actors during a stage play. It is an interruption of a performance, and people who heckle need to be prepared for severe blowback. Probably not to the level that Tosh came back with, but blowback nonetheless.

She is simply doing in our interview the same thing she does every time she steps on stage. She’s telling the truth.

Here, four tips from a survivor.

They are vile, blood-sucking parasites, proof that the Lord of the Underworld indeed exists. They are bedbugs, and Philadelphia is full of them; it was recently reported that we took New York’s title of bedbug capital of the country—not exactly a title worth bragging about. For those of you who have bedbugs, I know how miserable you are. I’ve been there. Three years ago, we had them, and they almost drove my wife and I off the edge.
