		<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, who by virtually every account is one of the thoroughly good guys, wasn’t able to help his own son but [...]]]></description>

		<title>The dichotomy of Pete Rose</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pete Rose is all about morality. Whether you&#8217;re for him or against him, no sports figure sparks more passion 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 [...]]]></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. [...]]]></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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For more on Jim Johnson, and to share your thoughts, click here.   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   [...]]]></description>

		<title>T.O. in Vick&#8217;s corner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aside from running a dogfighting ring and personally killing dogs, Michael Vick hasn&#8217;t had any character issues, Terrell Owens says. 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 [...]]]></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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Murder at the ballpark</title>
		<description><![CDATA[David Sale was 22 years old. He was from the Philadelphia suburb of Lansdale. He was at Citizens Bank Park with some friends for a bachelor party on Saturday afternoon. As the Phillies finished off the St. Louis Cardinals, David was beaten to death in the parking lot by a group of strangers, including a 35-year-old [...]]]></description>

		<title>Today&#8217;s Brew: Eagles training camp&#8230; anyone?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Eagles have opened training camp. They even have a new defensive coordinator in Sean McDermott. Their top pick, Jeremy Maclin, remains unsigned, and questions linger about the health of Brian Westbrook. In years past, Philly fans would be abuzz about the Birds, but the Phillies are the world champions — who are in first place [...]]]></description>
