		<title>I bleed red, not green</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Phillies got Cliff Lee. The Eagles got Michael Vick.
The Phillies embrace their fans, with Ruben Amaro Jr. out there regularly, on Daily News Live, visiting the TV booth, wherever. And he doesn&#8217;t behave like an arrogant, entitled jackass. The Eagles, with Banner, Reid &#38; Co., don&#8217;t care what anybody thinks.
The Phillies brought our city a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vick isn&#8217;t my reclamation project</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whose soul is Tony Dungy trying to save, Michael Vick’s or his own?
Dungy, a Promise Keeper who writes a blog on AllProDad.com, tragically lost his 18-year-old son James to suicide 3½ years ago. Dungy wasn’t there for his own son but now he’s there for Michael Vick.
The former Colts coach was busy pursuing his career and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The dichotomy of Pete Rose</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Pete Rose is all about morality.
No sports figure sparks more passion, whether you&#8217;re for him or against him, than Pete Rose does. That&#8217;s because he ignites our basic sense of moral values, the tenets we grew up with and by which we, at least partially, have defined ourselves since childhood.
On the field, Rose epitomized the [...]]]></description>

		<title>A good alternative</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was the kind of deal that had Pat Gillick written all over it. Phils GM Ruben Amaro even acknowledged that his former boss, now a consultant for the team, was involved.
Amaro didn&#8217;t go for broke, but he didn&#8217;t skimp out either. It wasn&#8217;t Broadway, but it was still big-time. He got a legit, front-line starter. And [...]]]></description>

		<title>Time for Moyer to go</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jamie Moyer has become a liability for the Phillies. Not only is he unreliable, turning in a decent start about once a month and posting an ERA of 5.32, with opponents hitting a swollen .292 against him, but now he could weigh down the Phils&#8217; rotation even more.
With the acquisition of Cliff Lee and the impending [...]]]></description>

		<title>Today&#8217;s Brew: Crossed fingers for Victorino</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was late in the East so lots of people missed it, but Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino left Wednesday&#8217;s game against Arizona in the seventh inning with a &#8220;left knee contusion.&#8221; He made a diving catch in the first inning and got up slowly. The Phillies downplayed the injury, and hopefully it&#8217;s nothing, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Halladay trade: Just do it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hold your breath, Ruben, and jump in. Close your eyes and pull the trigger. Go on up there, rook GM, and take a big-league hack.
Get Roy Halladay. Now. Please.
They want Drabek, Happ and Brown. Fine. I want another championship, and a Halladay/Hamels duo exponentially increases my odds.
And all you Phillies fans paralyzed by fear, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

He was a teacher to many players, both on and off the field, and devoted his life to the game of football. He had a positive influence on scores of young men, and leaves behind a wonderful legacy.   —NFL commissioner Roger Goodell

		<title>T.O. in Vick&#8217;s corner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aside from running a dogfighting ring and personally killing dogs, Terrell Owens says, Michael Vick hasn&#8217;t had any character issues. Therefore, he deserves a second chance.
Hmm&#8230; Can you count the number of things wrong with that statement?
Unfortunately, T.O. isn&#8217;t the only one who thinks Vick &#8220;deserves&#8221; a second chance. But Michael Vick already got a second [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reinstatement for Pete Rose?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Baseball commissioner Bud Selig is considering lifting the lifetime ban on Pete Rose, thanks to the urging of several Hall of Famers, including Frank Robinson, Joe Morgan and Selig&#8217;s friend Hank Aaron. If Selig takes this long overdue step, Rose will become eligible for the Hall, where he belongs.
What Pete Rose did was despicable, but there [...]]]></description>
