Sure we want more, but we're Philly, i.e. we know they'll choke.

We're not sure we agree completely, but it is pretty awesome all the same.

The Sixers spanked the Knicks (124-84) on Wednesday night at the Wach. Tonight they will be in Orlando, then they’ll turn around and host the Magic on Wednesday at 7PM (get tickets or watch here). Here’s hoping that’ll be two for two. Tomorrow they’ll match up with the Miami Heat, against whom they are 2-0 this season.

The Red Sox has permeated nearly every facet of Bostonist's lives. When they're not live-blogging the games, waxing poetic about the games, thanking Curt Schilling for his splendid work, or telling Dane Cook to watch his hair, they're watching certain presidential candidates hop on the Red Sox bandwagon (sorry, Gothamist). The Sox are so branded on the local brain that people are using the Series to spice up their sex lives. Speaking of spice, Bostonist is really sick of that taco promo. And, while they're proud of John Williams, Bostonist is still trying to figure out Williams' "Very Special Arrangement" of the "Star Spangled Banner."

Ah, Fourth of July! It's time for parades, fireworks, and barbecues. Lots of barbecues. But surprisingly, barbecues, those gatherings amongst friends and family which serve no purpose other than to feed and, perhaps, inebriate one's nearest and dearest, can be a hotbed of rudeness – and around a hot grill, rudeness can equate to a certain degree of danger. Following are tips for having a polite and safe Fourth of July barbecue, whether you're grilling or eating.

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week.

Seattlest has a talk with the photographer from last week's "Segway Mom" and then experiences some dissension in the ranks over the question of wine vs. beer. It's not West Side Story, but about as close as they'll get. They're also still waiting on some inbox relief after a spammer is arrested.

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets.

Memorial Day is next Monday. This means very little in the scheme of commercial holiday celebrating, of course, except for the fact that it means a day off and, for whatever reason, official permission to wear white. And how, whether clad in white or not, do most people celebrate Memorial Day?

We don't know about you, but it's friggin cold out there. Well, not for some of you. It seems as though places that are supposed to be cold are warm and places that are supposed to be warm are cold. Or maybe that's just us. Either way, we're freezing.

Torontoist visits the site of a new Frank Gehry structure, stalks "the elusive Bahamas streetcar", and watches Tom Green get surgery.

So the big, bad Bonds rolled into town this weekend and had little to show for his three-game effort. Yes, he did hit home run number 713 last night, bringing him closer to his asterisked place in the baseball ledgers, but he was far from the real show this weekend. That spot was reserved for the Phillies, who swept the San Francisco Giants to build up to an eight-game winning streak.

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you.

Trusting Mayor John Street has been difficult. It never seemed like a good idea to put a guy with a history of serious financial problems in charge of a city the size of Philadelphia, not to mention Street's history of inappropriate nepotism. Hey, we're all for picking your friends and family for things -- if you're in the seventh grade and choosing kickball teams. As an adult and a public official, we'd like to see things run a bit more fairly. Of course, considering the pay to play scandal plaguing City Hall, believing that the mayor would be ethically upstanding is an exercise in naivete. So what exactly are we kvetching about? Last week Festival Foods was chosen to oversee the entire vending operation at Live 8. The deal provides that Festival Food pays the city $90K and guarantees that 30% of the vending spots go to minorities and women. And then, miraculously, Festival Foods makes John Street a minority partner (which could net Mayor Street nearly 30% of the vending profits from Live 8) and John Street's brother, Milton Street, is awarded 17% of the minority vending spots. That just smells bad. Considering that a judge ordered all of Milton Street's vending equipment be confiscated on Friday, we're not sure how Milton managed to hawk overpriced hot dogs and water in 17% of the minority vending locations. That's right -- Milton was a baaaaaad boy. He's neglected to pay several years' worth of concession fees totally more than $36,000, and now has had his vending equipment taken to pay for it. We're not worried. His brother will no doubt pull those chestnuts out of the fire.
