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." View Blogger profile.

Cheaties, the Breakfast of Allegations!
Yes, it's time for a new toasty tribute to today's athletes! Introducing: Cheaties, the Breakfast of Allegations, made with "100 percent whole shame" by General Pills. (Hey, sometimes you just gotta open a humorus vein. So to speak. If you know what I mean.) Sorry, but if you want to know all the illegal ingredients, you'll have to Google the blacked-out grand jury transcript. Imagine all the athletes, past and present, amateur and pro, perfect for cardboard immortalizing. And not just admitted perpetrators of pharmacological funny business, like ex-Phil, ex-Diamondback, expelled pitcher Jason Grimsley (left). Why, sports history is full of cheaters. Spit-ballers. Bat-corkers. Adulterers. Point-shavers. Plus assorted agents who robbed clients blind. Warning: This product could cause disillusionment, roid rage and testicle shrinkage. Click the buttons below to see a familiar target of recent unproven allegations, and a classic case of Olympic proportions.
