Web shooter: Front Page News

If you woke up this morning and checked SI.com and ESPN.com, both Web sites have front pages features on Philadelphia sports teams. Lucky us.

SI's Marty Burns writes that the Sixers are still preaching patience to justify their slow start.

It wasn't supposed to be this way, of course. When the Sixers lured Brand away from the Clippers with a five-year, $82 million deal, many expected Philadelphia to make an immediate jump in the standings. Maybe even challenge the Celtics for the Eastern crown.


Just like in real life, the article offers no real solution for the problem. Maybe while Brand is out of the line up, they'll start playing like they did at the end of last season.

The second article comes courtesy of Rick Riley. He took a survey of NFL players, asking them what the outcome is of obscure rules. Does this vindicate Donovan? You decide.
