What Is Early Word? The Philadelphia Inquirer's experimental online "morning show", which began in Sept. 2005, went on hiatus in the summer of 2006, after a gradual shift to putting more of its content directly on Philly.com.
About the Host Peter Mucha, husband and father of two, grew up in Cherry Hill and is a lifelong Philly sports fan. He's been writing and editing for The Inquirer for 18 years.
His motto (at least for today): "If I'm not brief, give me grief."

Talk About It ...
Who's the No. 1 Goat?
Nearly midnight, under a nearly full moon, the Eagles nearly won. All they had to do was kill two minutes. Two runs for 7 yards, and the season might have been saved.
But that's not how Andy "I'm not stuck in my ways" Reid does things.
If there's still time to pass, he does. And the ever-obedient quarterback never wimpers a protest.
Of course, Reid never foresaw the nightmare that unfolded, as Donovan McNabb, in a moonbeam-brain moment, played catch with the Cowboy Who Crippled T.O.
Roy Williams ran in for the winning TD. That's him, No. 31, ambling for the score, as McNabb gets tumbled and injured.
There was one last chance. A field goal. But rookie Reggie Brown (in other photo) dropped a pass deep in Dallas territory. A pass Terrell Owens might have held. Maybe even run in for a score.
Pick your culprit. Why not? Last night's loss was a crime.
