This Moment In Balls: Pleas, Dreams, Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em And Tootsie Rolls
• EAGLES: Somehow hiding 89 pills up your ass in prison is something you can plead “not guilty” to. Just ask Garrett Reid, seen here in all his hedgehog-y glory. [Inky]
• FLYERS: Also slipping through the oily hands of justice is Stevie Downie, whose much-blogged sucker punch last weekend earned him only a warning. [ESPN]
• PHILS: Amid snoozy signings, there’s a doozy of a pipedream to keep Phils fans occupied this winter: The farfetched notion of nabbing the Yankees’ GM. [The Good Phight]
• WING BOWL: Despite or perhaps because of the overnight failure of his Girard Ave. takeout joint, El Wingador is talking up his shot at a sixth Wing Bowl championship. But far more interesting is his daily regiment, which amounts to 10-15 pounds (ex. “three porterhouse steaks, a ham and cheese sandwich, a roast beef hoagie and half a pizza”), plus another 10 pounds of Tootsie Rolls a week. With that last tidbit, he’s totally won our hearts back, at least for a hot second. [DN]
