Lawmakers allow ‘parks for cash’ to die in legislature HARRISBURG. The state Senate recessed for the legislative season on Wednesday without voting on House Bill 2224, which park advocates have termed the “parks for cash bill” because it would have removed court oversight of the sale of some dedicated or donated parkland, paving the way for the city to sell green space for quick revenue.

The Parks Alliance, which said they were not aware of the provisions they claimed were hidden in the bill until it passed the state House in the spring, joined a Pennsylvania Land Trust-led coalition of 84 organizations that opposed the bill and sent 1,700 e-mails to state senators urging them not to pass it.

Coroner: Garrett Reid died of heroin OD Toxicology reports concluded that Garrett Reid, son of Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid, died of a heroin overdose, Northampton County Coroner Zachary Lysek announced Thursday. Reid was found unresponsive in his Lehigh University dorm room during training camp in the early hours of Aug. 5.

The county District Attorney John Morganelli added that Reid was discovered slumped over in a chair with a used syringe and spoon nearby and that the Eagles’ team doctor had pulled him to the floor

“In terms of cause and manner of the death of Garrett Reid, that investigation is concluded as of today,” Morganelli said. “However, this investigation is not completely over.”

Of particular concern to authorities are 47 syringes and 65 needles recovered from Reid’s gym bag. “The origin of these items and other drug paraphernalia are not known,” Morganelli said. METRO/AW

Behind the case Four members or associates of La Cosa Nostra have already admitted their roles and pleaded guilty.

MIIKE PIFER/METRO

Opening arguments began today in the racketeering conspiracy trial of alleged mob boss Joseph Ligambi and six associates of the Philadelphia La Cosa Nostra.

Prosecutors claim Ligambi, alleged underboss Joseph Massimino, George Borgesi, Anthony Staino, Damion Canalichio, Gary Battaglini and Joseph Licata engaged in a racketeering conspiracy that involved illegal gambling, loansharking, extortion and theft from an employee benefit plan.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank Labor told jurors that although no violence is alleged in the charges, the defendants used the mob’s reputation of violence to intimidate businessmen and debtors alike.

“I love you like a brother, but don’t eff with me,” Labor said, allegedly quoting Staino in a recorded conversation with an undercover FBI agent.

Bucks County again very tight race for Congress U.S. Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick is used to being in close elections, and this year will be no different. Challenger Kathy Boockvar continues her push to unseat Fitzpatrick in the reconfigured 8th Congressional District.

The district was redrawn to phase out Northeast Philadelphia and parts of Montgomery County, so that it only includes Bucks County. Despite the change, it is once again considered a toss-up two years after Fitzpatrick edged out incumbent Patrick Murphy.

Boockvar, while not as well-funded as Fitzpatrick, seems to have the momentum. A week after scoring an endorsement from former Gov. Ed Rendell, she received backing from the Philadelphia Inquirer and closed the quarter with donations from more than 12,000 contributors.

“First and foremost, people

are really frustrated with how little is getting down and how Congress has become all about a power struggle and political charades,” Boockvar, an attorney and mediator, said.

As in most parts of the country, the central issue for both candidates has been jobs and the economy, despite the fact that the unemployment rate in Bucks (7.8 percent) is lower than the state and the country. However, joblessness has risen slightly in the county over the past year.

Fitzpatrick’s campaign is expected to advertise right up to the end. “Mike Fitzpatrick has been focused on jobs and the economy and will continue to do so for the next three weeks,” his campaign manager Faith Bender said.

Thursday approved an amendment to a bill introduced by Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown that would allow police to fine those who park their ATVs or dirt bikes in public areas and possibly confiscate the vehicles. The amendment allows for an initial warning period during which violators will be stopped, but not penalized.

“We know these vehicles can be unsafe, especially when

ridden in our neighborhoods in an inappropriate way,” said Judith Robinson, who appeared on behalf of ATV riders of North Central Philadelphia to oppose the crackdown. “[But] we, as adults who know to do the right thing, here's an opportunity to give these young men something to do other than get a gun in their hand and shoot up a neighborhood.”

No place like home?

Mass. senator: Romney might lose home state Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown’s worst nightmare is that his party’s nominee, Mitt Romney, will set a record for presidential candidates.

Romney may lose his home state of 40 years, which he governed for four.

Recent voter surveys show Romney trailing President Barack Obama in the state by 14 to 33 percentage points.

To overcome the anticipated Obama tsunami in Massachusetts, Brown is counting on thousands of voters splitting their tickets to back him over his Democratic opponent, consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren, with whom he’s running neckand-neck in polls. Brown, who won the seat in a 2010 special election to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Edward M. Kennedy, needs every Obama voter he can get, including members of organized labor.

Youth vote: Candidates still giving it the old college try With less than three weeks left before election day, the youth vote has once more come into focus. A student concerned about his future job prospects asked the first question at the Hofstra University presidential debate Tuesday night, and both candidates have set up extensive campus operations in swing states.

In another clear bid for younger voters, President Barack Obama will appear this evening on Jon Stewart’s “Daily Show,” the sort of venue challenger Mitt Romney has avoided so far.

Likely voters in this age group prefer Obama to Romney by 54 percent to 36 percent in Reuters/Ipsos polling from the week ending Oct. 14.

The Romney campaign is working to mobilize students unhappy with the president’s record, with 188 chapters of a pro-Romney student group on campuses in 11 “target states,” according to a campaign aide.

“I don’t think you’ll see the president enjoying the same amount of support that he had in 2008, very simply because the Obama economy has created a lost generation of young voters,” the aide said.

The Obama campaign has gone a step further, bringing buses to some campus rallies that later take students to register or vote early. REUTERS

Likely voters overall believe Democrats are better for young Americans than Republicans by a 44 percent to 29 percent margin. For likely voters between 18 and 29 years old, this gap is an overwhelming 53 percent to 19 percent.

“Um, no. More like a third.”

“Maybe you should have borrowed some of Romney’s binders.”

Romney takes to damage control Mitt Romney’s claim to have ordered up “binders full of women” to staff his Massachusetts cabinet has opened a fresh struggle with President Barack Obama for the backing of female voters, threatening to erode the Republican nominee’s gains with a crucial constituency. Romney’s comment at the second presidential debate sparked Internet ridicule, Democratic derision and days of damage control. On the campaign trail, the candidates courted women with differing messages. Romney said he could resolve their economic challenges, and Obama argued he is the one who values their concerns and contributions. BLOOMBERG

54%

Obama defeated Republican John McCain by a roughly two-to-one margin among voters aged 18 to 29 in 2008. This time, likely voters in this age group prefer Obama to Romney by 54 percent to 36 percent.

Taxes and returns Think tank says Romney’s tax plan won’t work Mitt Romney’s proposed cap on itemizing tax deductions could not on its own raise enough new government tax revenue to compensate for revenues lost by the Republican presidential candidate’s plan to slash income tax rates, a think tank said on Wednesday. REUTERS

What’s wrong?

The Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan group, said his deductions cap could raise up to $1.7 trillion over 10 years.

The center said earlier this year Romney’s 20 percent tax rate cut would cost $4.8 trillion.

Romney disagrees Romney has argued that his plan will not cost $4.8 trillion.

The Romney campaign had previously criticized the Tax Policy Center’s estimates, saying they did not account for economic growth that can pay for tax cuts and that the center excluded some tax breaks in their studies.

The campaign has said the limit on itemized deductions would be only part of its plan to fund the rate cut. The Tax Policy Center admitted its latest estimates were based on an incomplete picture.

Matthew Fox gets lost in his new character, the psychotic serial killer Picasso.

‘FOX-Y

The ex-‘Lost’ star gets creepy as the villain in ‘Alex Cross’ Why he’s dying to see himself in the upcoming zombie-killer thriller ‘World War Z’

M

atthew Fox underwent a startling physical transformation, dropping down to nearly zero-percent body fat to play the psychotic assassin Picasso in “Alex Cross,” so it’s understandable that he’s been getting a lot of diet and exercise questions. We wanted to know about some other things — like why he isn’t going back to TV anytime soon and how things are going with the reportedly troubled “World War Z.” On that last topic, in fact, he’d like to clear a few things up.

How tired are you of getting diet and exercise questions?

[Laughs] Yeah. I fortunately braced myself for the fact that that was going to be one of the things that people were going to come with as far as questions. So I’m not too tired about it. It was a lot of hard work, man. I don’t watch any playback or rushes or anything like that — I still haven’t seen the movie. I think down the road I

always hit a point where I’m like, “OK, now I can watch this.” So I really hadn’t seen myself and what I was setting out to accomplish with that guy until somebody sent me [a promotional photo]. Somebody forwarded it to me and I opened this e-mail, and it’s this image of myself in the cage thing where he’s breaking the guy’s arm. And I was like, “Whoa, dude, that is so intense and disturbing.”

Clearing the record As for the rumored conflicts on the set of “World War Z,” Fox thinks it’s more a symptom of our culture than any real problem with the film.

Well, I mean I’ve seen “Speed Racer” a couple of times. I watched the first half-season of the first year of “Lost.” And I’ve seen “Vantage Point,” I’ve seen “We Are Marshal.” I haven’t seen any of the three that are going to be coming out. I haven’t seen “Alex Cross” or “World War Z” or “Emperor.”

“I think Paramount must be a little bit bummed by the rumor that’s been blogged on movie sites that just doesn’t have any basis in fact.

That’s a trend that’s happening on every level of our pop culture stuff, and for me anyway it’s a little disturbing. I like talking about things that have basis in fact, not complete and total fiction by people who really just don’t have any position to be doing that.”

I am too, man. I will go see “World War Z” right when it

comes out because I’m barely in the movie. If it works and it’s a trilogy, then my charac-

So where are you as far as watching your own stuff? What have you seen?

I’m looking forward to seeing “World War Z.”

Quoted

“I like talking about things that have a basis in fact, not complete and total fiction by people who really just don’t have any position to be doing that.”

FOX, ON RUMORS OF TROUBLE ON THE SET OF HIS UPCOMING FILM, ‘WORLD WAR Z,’ CO-STARRING BRAD PITT

ter ... will become really a sort of counterpoint for Brad Pitt’s character in movies two and three. I’m so hopeful that it works because I really had a great experience working on that film. It was a great group of people and fun to just kill zombies and play a Navy SEAL and all that stuff, but part of it was just that I wasn’t in it that much so I got to show up to these insane sets — it was such a big production — and not feel like it was all sort of riding on me.

Some of your tattoos ended up playing a big part on “Lost” and show up in “Alex Cross” as well.

Do you worry about viewers

finding that distracting?

Obviously, people saw those tattoos so much and so regularly because of the six years [on “Lost”]. Big fans of the show will always see those tattoos if they see them in another character in another film, and go, “Wait a minute ...” At a certain point I’ll cover some of that stuff. For this one, Rob and I agreed that it wasn’t necessary.

And honestly, if people are paying attention to that then I’m not doing my job really well enough.

A scene horror movie fans are all too familiar with.

‘Paranormal Activity 4’ Director: Henry Joost, Ariel Schulman Cast: Stephen Dunham, Katie Featherston, Kathryn Newton, Alexondra Lee Rating: R Grade: “Paranormal Activity” fans (whoever is still left) are in for the same ride as usual, but this one should have never started. The fourth installment in the franchise offers viewers the same predictable scares and a weak storyline that is all too familiar. The film picks up where the last movie left off, but this time the story follows a family who start to experience strange happenings in their home when they take in a houseguest. By this stage of the game, they’ve used up all the tricks in the book. Similar to the “Halloween” and “Friday the 13th” films, there are only so many times that viewers can tolerate seeing the same thing. It’s gotten to the point where there is nothing left to squeeze out of this story. OLIVIA MORROW

kid has certainly made good during the last half-century, with nine Grammy nominations and more than 30 albums to his credit. “I guess I’m just still searching for my sound,” says Barron, with a laugh. “Like Miles Davis says, ‘It takes a long time to learn how to play like yourself.’“ Jazz aficionados would likely disagree with that statement.

Barron’s expressive touch and complex melodies have placed him among the most respected musicians of his generation.

This weekend, Barron will hit the stage with a host of original compositions, accompanied by Kiyoshi Kitagawa on bass and Jonathan Blake on drums. “Blake kind of kicks my butt, which is a good thing,” says Barron. “He’s just got this great energy. He throws me a lot of curves, and keeps me on my toes. He keeps me from playing what I planned to play.”

Unholy Father Born again as Father John Misty, a former Fleet Fox has a lot of fun artistically finding himself on ‘Fear Fun’ MAXIMILLA LUKACS

“Fear Fun” is the debut by Father John Misty, but the man behind the moniker, Joshua Tillman, has been putting out albums for the past eight years, recording as a member of Fleet Foxes and on his own as J. Tillman. These previous efforts, mostly characterized by their solemnity, bear little resemblance to his recent outpouring of manic psychedelic folk.

“I was obliged to make some changes after some realizations that I had about myself,” says Tillman. “I was on autopilot for a few years with the J. Tillman thing.”

On “Fear Fun,” the songs ooze with an exuberance of being born again — but for Father John Misty, that doesn’t necessarily mean a pious awakening.

Against some of the same quilts of harmony that make Fleet Foxes sound so comforting, Till-

man sings words that are frank and funny and often deal with sex and drugs. If it weren’t for this content, you’d almost picture him dancing to these songs on “The Muppet Show.”

Tillman says coming up with the album was cathartic.

“I was just sick of identifying myself as a songwriter and subsequently like a failure of a songwriter,” he says. “Around that time, the sound of an acoustic guitar made me nauseous. ... So I started writing up the book that’s in the album and I wasn’t beholden to these aesthetic perimeters that I was musically. I quickly discovered what I perceived to be far more engaging in that medium, creatively. I was laughing a lot the whole time I was writing.”

TV watch list ‘The Girl’ MOVIE. The relationship between Alfred Hitchcock and his muse, Tippi Hedren, plays out in the kind of psychological battle found in one of the suspense master’s movies. This film dramatizes Hedren’s time as a “Hitchcock blonde” while filming “The Birds” and “Marnie,” when the director — portrayed here by Toby Jones as a lecherous drunk — subjected his leading lady to physical and mental abuse.

THE WORD

Metro’s Dorothy Robinson shares her take on the world of gossip

@dorothyatmetro

Guess who won’t be appearing on Handler’s show?

Chelsea Handler has had all sorts of guests on her talk show, but she has to draw the line somewhere. When asked by “Access Hollywood� if there’s anyone she would never have on “Chelsea Lately,� the host says, “Well, probably Paris Hilton or something.

She hasn’t begged [to come on], but I mean, I can’t look at her. She’s like the worst.�

Handler also shoots down the idea of ever interviewing Dina or Michael Lohan, the headline-grabbing parents of troubled actress Lindsay Lohan. “No, I can’t talk to them,� Handler says. “That’s just a hot mess.�

Happy high school diploma, Drake!

Just because you’re world famous and fabulously wealthy doesn’t mean you can skimp on getting your high school diploma. On Wednesday, Drake tweeted the news that he graduated from high school — at 25 years old. He wrote, “97% on my final exam. 88% in the course. One of the greatest feelings in my entire life. As of tonight I have graduated high school.� He added: “Thank you to my teacher Kim Janzen for spending the last 5 months working tirelessly with me!!�

Here’s a little perspective to kick off your weekend: Ashton Kutcher is not only having sexual relations with Mila Kunis but he’s also pulling in a whopping $24 million a year.

So even though Kutcher is the butt of many jokes, maybe he’s having the last laugh?

According to a new article in Forbes, the actor earned that huge salary courtesy of his starring role on the top-rated sitcom, “Two and a Half Men� (his tech investments also helped).

Following Kutcher were Hugh Laurie and Ray Romano, tied for second place at $18 million thanks to the syndication of “House� and “Everybody Loves Raymond.� Next: Alec Baldwin of “30 Rock� and Mark Harmon of “NCIS� in another tie at $15 million a year, followed by Tim Allen, star of “Last Man Standing,� at $14 million.

fall dining guide

Chefs fall for autumn ingredients You’re not the only one excited for hoodie weather As temperatures drop, we asked some of the city’s top chefs what they couldn’t wait to get their hands on One fall darling that didn’t make the cut: Pumpkins

T

+ Fresh takes

Pumpkin pass Chef Gregory Vernick puts the finishing touches on raw diver scallops with cranberry vinaigrette and citrus.

PHOTOS: PAIGE OZAROWSKI/METRO

hough summer’s berries and watermelons are but a bright memory, local farmers markets are bursting with stunning earlyautumn produce that captures the essence of fall. Philadelphia chefs who focus on foods grown within 150 miles of the city dished on their go-to ingredients that exemplify the changing seasons and bring local flavor to fall menus.

Orange crush “For fall going into winter, my number one ingredient is citrus,” says Gregory Vernick of Vernick Food + Drink. “They don’t get their juiciest and sweetest until December, but we have so many different types of oranges to work with: Valencias, Honeybells, Navel and blood oranges.” Look for a charred brussels sprout salad with orange segments, a dish that bridges hearty fall vegetables with a taste of sunshine.

Quintessential quince The Farm and Fisherman chef/owner Joshua Lawler calls quince “a unique taste of the season.” The firm, aromatic fruit tastes like a flowery apple, especially after Lawler cooks it slowly in white wine and sugar, turning it a beautiful shade of blush. Pureed with pink peppercorns, quince creates a lush backdrop for an appetizer of raw fluke with tapioca and hot peppers.

Apple of our eye

Berry good “This time of year there are not a lot of good, acidic, vibrant flavors,” reveals Jason Cichonski, chef/owner of Ela in Queen Village. He finds the brightness by adding huckleberries to a plate of pork belly and maitake mushrooms that he forages himself. “We were going to make a jammy puree with the huckleberries, but they are so perfect raw they just don’t need to be messed with,” he adds.

“We’re going apple crazy here!” says Sara May, the culinary brains behind Franklin Fountain’s hot apple pie milkshakes and Shane Candies’ caramel apples.

The pastry chef uses her favorite fall fruit in a variety of ways — try a freshly baked apple turnover a la mode with a spicy scoop of ginger ice cream if you’d rather bite than slurp a shake.

Jacoby. “We get back to our roots this time of year,” he says.

“Carrots, parsnips, kohlrabi and celery root have this kind of beautiful, creamy, earthy richness to them — you can puree them down and they are creamy without adding fat.” Try celery root fritters by Landau: The root is roasted and mashed “to a fish-flake consistency” before being rolled in chickpea flour and fried alongside nutty maitake mushrooms.

There’s no better way for Will Kearse to kick off the holiday season than incorporating warming spices into his menu at Will BYOB, which recently opened on Passyunk Avenue.

“Juniper, allspice and all that good stuff — we don’t use it throughout the year, so it really tastes of the season.” Warm spices are used to season game meats or added to red wine and gelatin to make a sauce base for churros or flan at Will. “We try to stay away from trend-driven stuff,” says Kearse.

“I’d been doing the whole pumpkin thing for nine or 10 years and I’m over it.”

Take a seat at Stratus Rooftop Lounge.

Frankford Hall

1201 Frankford Ave. www.frankfordhall.com Although Fishtown’s airy beer garden was made for summer evenings, it takes on a new life in the fall, when enthusiastic heat lamps and a supersweet fire pit pick up where the brews leave off. Don’t forget your gloves though — the warmer the

hands, the better the ping-pong.

Parc

227 S. 18th St. www.parc-restaurant.com We really don’t envy Stephen Starr’s heating bills. Like Frankford Hall, Parc doesn’t sacrifice its prime-time outdoor seating when the temperatures drop.

PEARLSTEIN’S FURNITURE

Thanks to overhead heat lamps, you can still grab a street-side table and enjoy the Rittenhouse show as you dig into a cheesy crock of onion soup gratinee.

Stratus Rooftop Lounge

437 Chestnut St. www.monaco-philadelphia.com Perched on the 11th floor of Ho-

tel Monaco Philadelphia, the new Stratus Rooftop Lounge was designed with Philadelphia winters in mind. In addition to the superplush indoor bar, it boasts an outdoor patio that gets its glow on with a 30-foot fireplace.

You know what he meant; focus on the achievement RE: “GOP CANDIDATE’S REPLY GOES VIRAL” (METRO, OCT. 18)

People with the most minimal intellect should be able to figure out that when Romney talked about binders full of women, he meant their résumés. Frankly, I can’t figure out what all the hullabaloo is about. If this is the best that Obama’s supports can come away with from the debate, then it’s obvious that Romney is doing quite well. By the way, when Romney was governor, his cabinet had the most percentage of women in leadership positions than any state in the nation. I wonder how many tweets that tidbit of information got.

Mitt Romney is catching quite a bit of heat for his binder full of woman comment which is unfortunate. He did what any courageous leader who was unwilling to accept the status quo should do. He immediately realized when he became governor that there was an unequal number of women employed there compared to the number of men.

He then directed his team to interview for qualified people and compile a list, which is where the binder came from.

That was the right thing to do. The focus should be on how woman employed by the Obama administration currently make 18% less than their male counterparts, or how the poverty levels among woman in this country is at a 17-year high. If I were a female voter, those are the

statistics I would focus on.

JOEY WHITMOYER, VIA E-MAIL

Nothing wrong with a little moderation RE: “THESE ARE THE TIMES THAT TRY MEN’S SOULS — AND FACTS” (METRO, OCT. 18) Your editor’s

note states that Obama did not refer to the attack on the embassy as an act of terror.

That goes a little too far. He mentioned the attack and then talked about acts of terror. He was including that attack on a list of acts of terror.

day in the Rose Garden. Romney, in his usual reckless fashion, basically called the president a liar. Crowley, who happened to be there that day, clarified: “He did, in fact, sir.”

This was perfectly within the bounds of moderating, asking pointed follow-ups, and getting at the truth.

Isn’t that the purpose of these debates? Secondly, why is Romney’s team splitting hairs on this? Did we initially believe that the attack was planned or spontaneous — who cares? It was only natural to connect it to the mobbing of the U.S. embassy in Cairo that same day.

The key is not how it was defined and when; the point is that it happened, now how did we respond? Romney doesn’t seem to have any specific criticism of our military and security response to the attack, only this pointless argument over when it was publicly declared a “planned act of terror” rather than a spontaneous act of terror.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23. Today could launch an extremely significant cycle for you, especially where your finances and material needs are concerned. If you handle things right, surpluses will abound.

Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22. Those whom you always feel compelled to please may do a role reversal and perform something nice for you.

This change in your relationship will allow you to hold the strings.

Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21. There is a time for sowing and a time for reaping. You’re now in a period in which you will be paid back in large measure by those to whom you’ve given so much.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19. Some exciting new developments could be in the offing where your social life is concerned. Both a few old and new friends will play big roles.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 19. It would be a good thing to start elevating your sights in terms of your more ambitious objectives. Once you get on a roll, many remarkable achievements are possible.

Aries March 21-April 19. Now is the time to make that move, maneuver or adjustment you’ve been contemplating where your work is concerned. Everything is looking good for making such a change.

Taurus April 20-May 20. If a significant and necessary decision is staring you in the face, it’s the day to take action. Depend on your good judgment and common sense to make the right choice.

Gemini May 21-June 20. A smart friend who is concerned about your welfare is likely to offer you some unusual advice. Even if it sounds strange, think it through until you understand its essence.

Cancer June 21-July 22. This is an excellent day to spend some time sorting out things that have been trying and confusing. Once you work things out, you can reorganize your life for maximum efficiency.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22. There is no need to allow self-doubts to intimidate you, because you have the answers needed to produce the end results you desire. Figure out what you want and then do it.

Four burning questions to ponder during Birds’ bye

McCoy being used enough, not efficiently Bowles looks to light fire under defensive line Foles may be very attractive option by Week 10 Offensive line could use face-lift GETTY IMAGES

Six weeks in and what do we really know about the Eagles?

Well, we know the offense — specifically Mike Vick — can’t hold on to the football, the offensive line is a mess and the defense can’t hold a lead in the fourth quarter. After Andy Reid dropped the bombshell Tuesday by firing Juan Castillo, everyone is anxious for the next move. Since the Eagles are enjoying a bye week Sunday, let’s take a look at some burning questions:

live with them if the Birds are squeaking out victories, led

by Vick’s late-game heroics.

When that trend stops, however, he might have no choice to make a switch. Nick Foles, with his surfer-boy looks, will be like the freshman girl all the seniors want to take to prom. If Vick’s struggles continue, Week 10, at home vs. Dallas, looks like a tempting time.

IS THERE A TRADE IN THE WORKS? CENTER?

IS SHADY GETTING ENOUGH TOUCHES?

LeSean McCoy, one of the most explosive running backs in the NFL, has 459 yards through six games. That’s almost 110 yards off last year’s pace. Everyone wants Andy Reid to pound the franchise back into the ground, but McCoy actually has six more carries at this point in the season than he did at the same point in 2011.

It’s not the number of touches, it’s when he’s getting them. Reid has a tendency to ditch the run (except for the Giants game)

McCoy is actually on pace for more carries this season than he had in 2011.

Andy Reid just tends to give up on the run too quickly when it’s not working.

if it’s not working. In three wins, McCoy is averaging 22.6 carries (104.6 yards). In three losses, he’s at 14.3 (48.3).

CAN THE DEFENSIVE LINE GET A SACK?

The decision to trade Winston Justice for a bag of peanuts doesn’t look so good now, does it? Justice was far from an All-Pro, but he was a very capable backup. With Jason Kelce out for the year, Jason Peters likely out for the year and Danny Watkins struggling, the Birds don’t have many options for the turnstile that has become an offensive line. NFL teams don’t normally make midseason trades … however, working out a deal for an established center might Band-Aid a lot of problems.

and get to the quarterback.

Great players — and great coaches — make the proper adjustment. Now it’s on new defensive signal-caller Todd Bowles to figure out a way to break his defensive line’s slump. They have gone 13 straight quarters without a sack. Maybe it’s time to activate rookie Vinny Curry, just to see if he can provide

some kind of spark.

He’s got the Wright stuff for Sixers Dorell Wright looks around the gym and sees talent —plenty of talent. He sees shooters, defenders, big men, combination guards and great coaches. “I’m looking around now and I’m so happy to be here,�

Wright said about the Sixers. “We have talent at every spot.

We’re going to be tough to beat and I am so happy to be here.�

Wright was acquired from Golden State in the offseason.

After two frustrating seasons with the Warriors, Wright was fortunate enough to join an up-and-coming team such as the Sixers.

And Wright is the perfect complement. The 26-year-old is a career 36.5-percent 3-point shooter, and he’s an adept passer and defender. “Dorell is a very versatile player who will help us on both ends,� said forward Thaddeus Young. “He’s a great shooter and he runs the floor so well. He gets in the passing lanes and creates steals.�

Wright once knocked down nine 3-pointers in one game, so the shooting ability is clearly there. With Andrew Bynum clogging up the middle — barring any injury set-

Sixers rout Cavaliers, on the road for two games The Sixers are still playing without Andrew Bynum, but that didn’t stop them from blowing out Cleveland, 113-99, Wednesday in an exhibition game.

Nick Young and Maalik Wayns led the way with 19 points apiece. Jrue Holiday had 13 and the Sixers shot 12-of-25 from beyond the three-point stripe.

The Sixers travel up to Brooklyn Friday night to take on the Nets — the team they lost to 108-105 last week — then head to Boston Sunday. On Monday (Oct. 22), they’ll take on the New York Knicks in Syracuse, N.Y. METRO

backs — open looks will be readily available for the likes of Wright, Nick Young and Jason Richardson from beyond the arc. “Andrew commands double teams and it’s going to open things up for me and our other shooters,� said Wright, who scored 17 points in Wednesday night’s 113-99 win, including four treys. “That’s exciting for me. I’m so happy to be here also because of the talent and depth we have on this team. The last two years haven’t had many wins for me.�

Wright is entering his ninth NBA season, but has very little mileage on his body with 354 career games played.

He’s anxiously anticipating a breakout season. “Whether I score one point or 31 points in a game, I just want to win,� Wright said. “I just want to win as many games as possible and get to the playoffs. I saw what the Sixers did last season and how the fans supported them. It was very cool. I want to be part of that this season.�

I thanked him for letting me have access to his thoughts, memories and aspirations for Worley’s World. I appreciated that Worley wasn’t afraid to stir the pot.

He noted that he received a number of tweets after telling me that he believes the folks at Geno’s Steaks are rude.

Worley was good enough to take us to the mound with him and note what was on his mind when he was striking out Padre after Padre in San Diego in April.

o get a Major League Baseball player to chat for a few minutes, let alone agree to do a blog, is a significant feat.

The uninitiated probably don’t know but when a reporter steps into a baseball clubhouse, it’s akin to fishing.

You cast and maybe you’ll get a bite — or well, maybe not.

After a NHL game, the stars’ names are on a board.

They stroll into the locker room and one by one, they meet the press.

That’s not so in the world of baseball. Starting pitchers typically speak after the game, but there are no hard and fast rules. They normally don’t agree to engage in blogs, but Vance Worley isn’t like most starters.

It’s been an education hanging with Worley, who is as accessible, agreeable and in-

he finds personal battles with each team. “There’s always someone on another team that I faced in the minors or admired when I was growing up,� Worley said. “I just have fun with that.�

Part of what is refreshing about Vanimal is that he is a big kid. It also helps that he is courteous and accommodating. “I have no problem with this,� Worley said. “It’s been fun talking.�

It was so much fun for Worley that he spoke with me before games he started. It’s a big no-no for the media to chat with starters on their day. “If I want to talk with you before a game, we should be able to talk,� Worley said.

Despite that, I avoided Worley on the days he started.

Rules are rules. I knew I’d be able to catch up on the other four days. He was always up to chat about how much he hates the San Francisco Giants, or when he got food poisoning a half-hour before a start, or how he hit 94 mph on the gun. He was giddy after throwing that kind of flame.

But Worley had season-ending surgery with a month left in the season and now it’s time for healing. In no time, he’ll be rehabbing. “I’m going to do all that I can to come back as strong as possible,� Worley said. “And we’ll talk again.�
