Maybe the best part of that story was the dichotomy between Swan and Franco Harris. Our seats were right by Franco, so we went up to him for an autograph after the game, and he must have sat there for an hour after the game on a frigid night and signed hundreds of autographs. Franco is amazing.

Just saw Rube and Bill Giles at Broad/Walnut. they looked like they were coming from the Bellvue maybe.

I totally blew my chance to beg them not to sign Pedro and to sell the farm for Halladay.

Might have seen MattS at the DuPont Circle Metro today.

I met his brother once--Giuseppe. Nice guy. Didn't get his autograph though.

Whatever happened to Pete I wonder.

EDIT: Oh my, he passed away in 2006 -- only 49:

I remember he disappeared in '79 after leading the nation in interceptions and making All-American as a Junior. No explanation ever given at the time. I never knew he came back in '80.

Saw joey brackets aka joe lunardi at casey's bar in drexel hill tonight

I went to Cut in LA and sat next to Whitney Houston and Ray Ray. Also, Wolfgang Puck came out to meet us since my brother was ballin and decided to order the $160 8 ounce Kobe beef.

I had a few drinks with a couple of Phillies GCL guys on Thursday night in Coconut Grove in Miami.

They're shooting a Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson and Reese Witherspoon movie in my office's lobby. And I just saw Jack Nicholson talking to a security guard about the 49ers. Which is cool, until you realize that I'm still at work.

On Preston and Steve they said that movie will be filming for 3 months in Philly. So stay on the look out.

A girl I knew back in the day met Nicholson at a bar in State College (the Allen Room). He was in town filming that gangster movie, the name of which I can't remember at the moment. Anyway, she said he was really cool. They just sat at the bar and talked for hours, he bought all her drinks, and her never hit on her (she was super cute).


Edit: It was Hoffa, which was partially filmed in Huntingdon, PA

which building?

I was chilling at Fergie's and so was Paul Rudd.

Saw Kaylee Anthony's grandparents in the mall today. Seriously.

Walking through Rittenhouse Square this morning, I saw a tall, thin male with a floppy mop of hair, gigantic sunglasses one would expect on a Hollywood starlet, and a tiny white dog that could probably be over-matched by an average-sized squirrel.

Yep, it was Cole Hamels.

were acorns seen 12-hopping between floppy mop and tiny white dog, squirrels scampering around the two in circles, tiny front paws raised?

Jeff Carter and two other Flyers and Ron Hextall were at Drinkers last night

I never see any stars because I live in the 'burbs but my friend is always spotting Don Vito at TGI Fridays.

My brother got drunk with Dabney Coleman once, who refused a shot of Jager on the grounds that it was "faggot fratboy shit."
