Famous South Jersey native and baseball player Mike Trout is at the Eagles game today, so the team’s offense performed an impressively elaborate baseball celebration to honor him (and possibly recruit him for the Phillies, who knows).

While much has been made of Colin Kaepernick’s low public and media profile during his absence from the NFL, his representatives remain in close contact with teams attempting to land the quarterback another opportunity. The Titans, last week, were the latest team to rebuff their overtures.

Rain has wreaked havoc with NASCAR’s opening race for the second round of the playoffs. All practice was canceled Saturday at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and the start of Sunday’s race has already been moved up an hour to give NASCAR a bigger window to complete the 500-mile event. It’s not the Chamber of Commerce weekend that Charlotte officials had hoped for when they rearranged the schedule. This event has traditionally…

The Mets are out, the Yankees are in. While historically this has been the most common scenario in NY’s autumn baseball, this year it’s a huge surprise.

I was expecting horror stories. I figured there’d be tales of harassment, reports of bigotry — accounts of discrimination that would spark shock, rage and sympathy all at once. Fortunately — and refreshingly — I was wrong. Like most people, I was stunned when Panthers quarterback Cam Newton remarked how “funny” it was for a woman to be asking him about routes Wednesday.
