Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.Forget everything else. Saturday night’s Eagles-Cowboys game likely will be decided by two things.

I Don’t Get It: A Pa. state trooper is under arrest on DUI charges after slamming his car into a guardrail. As part of his duties, he supervised DUI checkpoints. I don’t get it.
