Your Monday Morning Roundup

What did you do this weekend?
Tim Tebow couldn’t connect with Jesus. Aaron Rodgers discount double choked (©The Internet). Andy Reid led his men into battle in the second round of the NFL playoffs chilled at home in California with Shady McCoy and others and most likely watched some NFL football and Man v. Food. Also, sandals.
What did I do? Well, other than watching Ricky Gervais land somewhere between funny and not at the Golden Globes, I had a nice meal at the Il Cantuccio in North Liberties. Both that restaurant and its sister, La Locanda in Old City, come highly recommended by this blogger (full disclosure: not an ad). If you’re looking for authentic Italian food, made by Italians, in a restaurant that feels like an Italian kitchen, either is a must-experience. Both are BYOBs, cash-only, and typical American pleasantries don’t alway exist in such authentic environments– but that's all part of the experience (don’t put cheese on your fish).
That's your weekly food tip. Let’s hit it.

The roundup:
– Epic. Lacrosse. Fight.
– Joe Paterno spoke with The Washington Post, said very little.
– MEEKDONDALD’S, MEEKDONALD’S.
– Another Fat Scott Paterno update.
– Phil Sheridan writes about the Eagles being limited by their in-house approach.
– Jim Salisbury on Phillies' arbitration process.
- Results of our weekly CB Six Pack, in graph form! It’s worth noting that Philly.com put up a poll on Saturday and, as of writing this, received fewer votes than our Six Pack did last Wednesday.We continue to kick everybody’s ass.
– An interesting article about our friends over at TheSchoolPhilly.com, a must-read for all you Penn State folks.
– Finally, in very sad news, our partners, PhillySportsDaily.com, have shutdown. I may have more on it later, but Philly sports lost its best kept secret on Friday, and we wish everyone involved (John Miller, Dave Isaac, Tim McManus, Ryan Bright, Jim McCormick and others) the very best.
