The Daily Numbers: 10 years as a team for Eagles coach Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb. That came to a fairly bleak end Sunday when Reid pulled his starting QB.
2 times in less than a year that production has been shut down at Boeing’s Ridley plant for investigation of damage to a helicopter being worked on there.
80, age of former Lower Merion High School Principal Jay C. Smith, who continues to try to clear his name in connection with the murder of schoolteacher Susan Reinert and the suspected killings of her two children.
29 years since Reinert’s body was found in the trunk of a car in Harrisburg.
100 women, including a strong contingent from Delaware County, seeking 10 spots as Phillies ballgirls next year.
1 count of illegally accessing a protected computer. That’s what former TV anchor Larry Mendte pleaded guilty to in August. He will be in court to be sentenced today.
2 people killed late Sunday night in a crash on the Pennsylvania Turnpike near the Downingtown exit.
3 story home at 52nd Street and Parkside Avenue in Wynnefield section of Philadelphia going up in flames this morning.
15, age of suspect charged in rape and sexual assault of a woman in the Northern Liberties section of Philly.
1 killed, 2 injured when a man turned a gun on his wife and others at a North Jersey church in Clifton Sunday morning.
500,000 dollar fine being paid by furniture retailer IKEA for being too slow in recalling defective outdoor candles.
200 million dollar fund-raising campaign announced by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to refurbish several structures and build two new high schools in the suburbs.
.500 where the Eagles stand after being blown out by the Ravens yesterday, 36-7. The Birds are now 5-5-1.
2 quarterbacks used by the Birds. Donovan McNabb was pulled at halftime in favor of Kevin Kolb.
8 for 18, with two interceptions and a fumble for McNabb.
10 for 23 with two picks for Kolb. Those 10 completions accounted for a total of 73 yards.
108 yards for a touchdown, what Ravens Ed Reed went for after picking off a Kolb pass in the end zone.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.I don’t know what’s more egregious, Andy Reid’s decision to throw Kevin Kolb to the wolves against one of the NFL’s best defenses, or the fact that he did not even bother to inform McNabb of the decision in person. He had one of his coaches tell him.

I Don’t Get It: I have to admit I was taken aback by the verdict in the Bill Smithson murder trial. I was beginning to have some “reasonable doubts” myself. It’s pretty clear the jury saw it otherwise.

Today’s Upper: Kudos to Caitlin E. Mullarkey, the Wilmington, Del., student at Swarthmore College has been named a Rhodes Scholar.
