| Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter put a verbal beat-down on City Controller Alan Butkovitz yesterday labeling Butkovitz report on the city's L&I "outrageous, misguided and irresponsible." The controller's report calls on Nutter to fire L&I Commissioner Carlton Williams citing excessive overtime, dangerous illegal demolitions and non-permitted construction projects. Referring to Butkovitz, Nutter says the city is "not going to get distracted by that kind of nonsense or ego or narcissistic... Read More |

Yesterday the Phillies revealed their tribute to Pope Francis - his own rookie baseball card (pictured in the paw of the Phillie Phanatic). The Phillies are on track to lose 100 games this year, but the addition of Pope Francis to the fold can certainly lift spirits around the City of Brotherly Love.

Michael McCaul's statement that agents had "disrupted" a potential threat against Pope Francis during his upcoming U.S. visit sent Philadelphia officials scrambling for information Monday - and questioning the warning itself. The city's top police official, Charles Ramsey says the threat had nothing to do with the Pope’s visit to Philadelphia.

He wasn't far off as the 76ers ran through playoff opponents Fo, Five, Fo to win the title. Moses Malone was 60.

The Phillies set a new record last night. Although the organization is not particularly proud of this one. Last night's loss to the equally poor Atlanta Braves was played in front of an announced crowd of 15,125, a new low attendance record for Citizens Bank Park. Monday night marked the fourth time the Phillies had set a new low for the 12-year-old ballpark, which has hosted 1,203 games since 2004.

| A legal battle is brewing over a sculpture created by an African artist and seized by federal agents in Philadelphia this spring. "War Throne" is a chair made entirely of decommissioned weaponry. Adam Solow, who purchased the artwork through an Italian broker, says the firearms no longer pose a danger. But federal authorities disagree: Customs agents flagged "War Throne" when it arrived in Philadelphia in April. The owner will need a firearms importation permit to get the sculpture... Read More |

| Tom Brady's four-game suspension from the NFL for his role in DeflateGate has been nullified by a federal judge. In May, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell handed down the punishment, which Brady officially appealed. Although Goodell was the arbitrator for the appeal, he changed his original ruling and has now decided that the quarterback presented sufficient evidence to reduce his punishment for allegedly having knowledge that Patriots staff deflated footballs ahead of the AFC Championship against...
