2 workers at the Houlihan’s restaurant in Christiana Mall that police say were stabbed by a co-worker last night. They’re hospitalized; he’s under arrest.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.
All aboard. Yep, the faithful are climbing back on board the Eagles bandwagon. A win over the Deadskins and Miami at home this week does wonders for fans. Call me after the Patriots game the following week.
I Don’t Get It: This Internet thing is more laden with problems than we imagined. It turns out the kid who went on a shooting spree in Finland last week had exchanged e-mails with the teen who was plotting a "Columbine" style attack on Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School.

Today’s Upper: Wilmington is becoming the latest town to take a look at the style of young men to wear their pants around their knees, exposing their underwear and who knows what else. Is it the most pressing problem we face? No. Is it the right thing to do? It says here it can’t hurt.
Quote Box: "That was never cut in stone. That was just speculation. We’re pretty much on schedule to be the 16th team."
