Important question:

When you eat Goldfish snacks, how many so you put in your mouth at a time?

@NBCSPhilly Howie needs to get us a true backup. This shit won’t fly if we need to go to a bench arm.

[Franklin to Broad @FranklinToBroad]

@JackFritzWIP They have enough to keep us all believing, but past performance has us also believing they’ll let us down.

Hope they correct that this year!

Our damn middle relievers…
And the umpires!
Turner was safe, called out, replay indeterminate, call stands.
Harper was safe, replay indeterminate, and call overturned! WTF!!

@Phillies getting screwed tonight!

Dolly Parton shut down Barbara Walters and the video is trending.

Still… nobody did it better than Sean Connery.
Absolute legend.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ A Must Watch.

@RayDunne975 <jealous>

Everytime someone mentions a good cheesesteak. Not many available in the south.

This guy gets it. PRACTICE is the time to try things and figure shit out.

[Victor Williams @ThePhillyPod]

Many people are drawing outrageous conclusions because of Hurts’ interceptions this summer. These things are going to happen when you install a new offense.

Better to make the mistakes now than during the season. Prepare yourselves appropriately for the inevitable growing pains.

@975TheFanatic @JonMarksMedia @asalciunas975 @Sean_Brace @RayDunne975 @BillColarulo Kincade and Salciunas…
Hands down, but Collarullo & Ricky are a close 2nd

A final thought about Dolly tonight.

(Before tomorrow’s surprise)

It may not be recognized by all but Dolly passing feels as though a particular goodness has left the world, even if only for a time.

What I mean is that in-spite of the things she got wrong, yes she was human and from a very different time and place, she got so much right and in such a manner that you couldn’t help but admire her.

She may well have been the last person that could enter a stadium full of people who all hate, despise, and or disagree with one another only to find they all agree on Dolly and they loved her.

The world needs the nay sayers. It needs those of us who draw firm lines in the sand and stand for what is right staunchly and without soft language.

However, it needs the icon of levity, hope, encouragement, and unification, too. God gave Dolly that very particular job and she nailed it.

We are mourning that societal universal beloved. Now we will need to keep a sharp eye for another if the Lord sees fit to bring us one.

My favorite clip of Dolly.
