City of Brotherly Shove Last year, Steve Erban lived to tell the tale: What it's like to attend an Eagles game in Philadelphia dressed in the opposing team's gear. "Thoughts ran through my head: Do I physically react? Do I walk away? Do I want to live? Do I want to see the rest of the game?"

A unique stadium-share Both DC United of MLS and MLB's new boys the Nationals will call RFK home for the next three seasons. Their plan requires three days to change the field from baseball to soccer, then two days in reverse; in other words, no baseball games for six days--and 18 home matches are scheduled, plus a couple more if the defending champs make the playoffs. Additionally, groundskeepers "plan to permanently grow huge, deep trays of grass in another location" to temporarily cover the infield dirt for United matches. Can it work?

Soccer is a second tier sport in America. It's only a matter of time before the needs of the baseball team will outweigh the other considerations.

"What does she even need an agent for?" I couldn't agree more. "But he's a pitcher for the New York Mets, a former No. 1 draft pick, and she's also been getting a lot of attention." Just keep with the skanky talk, Anna.

Charles Pierce on Michael Jordan "He made some great plays and some pretty good commercials. Has anyone so completely dominated his sport and left so small a mark upon it?"

Small Mark!!?? Every player who has come through the league since has been compared to him. We're still waiting for the "next Michael Jordon" So far nobody fills the shoes.

It's MY ball, dammit! Doug Mientkiewicz, he of the .215 avg as a 2 month defensive replacement, is refusing to give the Sox the ball he caught for the final out of the Series. "That's four years at Florida State for one of my kids". Selfish? Resourceful?

Mientkiewicz and the Red Sox need to agree to send the ball to Cooperstown and let it be property of the museum.

What should be the top sports story of 2004? Is it the Malice at the Palace, the Sox winning the World Series, the great Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction ...

The use of steroids negating this era of baseball's stats is the #1 story.

Philadelphia for all of it's history is and always will be a classless second rate city. It's the people.
