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."

Alleged Idiot of the Month Poll 

Funny, how these things work out, but this has turned into an Alleged Sports Idiot of the Month poll.

Terrell Owens won the first week, for looking like a traitor to his new town, Dallas, by wearing a Miami uniform courtside in Dallas during the NBA finals.

Then it was Big Ben Roethlisberger, who did kissy-face with a windshield while helmetless on the world's fastest street-legal type of motorcycle.

Next, Brett Myers got the Alleged Idiot of the Week, for allegedly punching his wife and dragging her by the hair.

This week, the voting was light, with a judge with a penis pump ("Here comes the judge!") and President in a ho-hum tie. By executive decision, I'm opting for a late entry instead, Philly's own Eddie Griffin, who got in an accident by allegedly masturbating while watching a porn video as he drove drunk. (That he got off ... ahem ... without even a ticket seems like a travesty that will be remedied thanks to videotape evidence.)

Yeah, it's tempting to also add Charlie Manuel for continuous straining our incredulity, but something tells me that's a name that will come up again. You can, of course, cast any name you want as a write-in comment.
Who's the Alleged Idiot of the Month?
