Well...pitchers and catchers report in less than a month

So...now that the Eagles' season is over and the Flyers and Sixers are bringing new meaning to the word "horrid," it's time to start shifting my attention back to my greatest passion, the Philadelphia Phillies...led by 2006 National League Most Valuable Player Ryan Howard (pictured, courtesy of Eliot J. Schechter/Getty Images).

Goodbye and good luck, A.I.

I had an up-and-down fan relationship with Allen Iverson, who was traded today by the Philadelphia 76ers to the Denver Nuggets.

There were the good times (the run to the 2001 NBA Finals) and the bad ("We talkin' 'bout practice!"), but A.I. was a lot of fun to watch on a basketball court...and he has the heart of a warrior.

Good luck in Denver, Allen!
