U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions will testify publicly to a Senate panel on Tuesday, its chairman said, setting up another potentially dramatic hearing on possible ties between President Donald Trump’s campaign and Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential race.

Sessions is likely to face tough questioning from Senate Intelligence Committee members over his dealings with Russian of-

ficials during the campaign and whether he had a role in the firing of former FBI Director James Comey, who testified last week before the same panel. Until a statement on Monday from committee Chairman Richard Burr, a Republican, it had been unclear whether Sessions would testify in an open or closed setting. REUTERS

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei blamed the United States for instability in the Middle East and said Washington’s fight against the Islamic State militant group was “a lie.” “You (the United States) and your agents are the source of instability in the Middle East … who created Islamic State? America … America’s claim of fighting against Islamic State is a lie,” Khamenei said in

a meeting with high-ranking Iranian officials, according to his official website.Iran and the United States cut diplomatic ties shortly after Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution and enmity to Washington has long been a rallying point for hardline supporters of Khamenei in Iran. Khamenei has made several statements denouncing the United States since the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. REUTERS

Apple shares added to last week’s drop on Monday to lead a market downturn as tech, still the best performing S&P 500 sector this year, succumbed under its own weight.

Mizuho Securities cut its rating on Apple to “neutral” from “buy” on Monday, saying the stock had outperformed this year and that the “upcoming product cycle is fully captured at current levels.”

Apple shares, down 2.4 percent

on Monday, are up about 26 percent so far in 2017. The S&P technology sector fell 0.8 percent after dropping 2.7 percent Friday for its largest two-day decline in nearly a year. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite underperformed the S&P 500 as the ongoing rout in the sector sparked a search for value elsewhere. REUTERS

Shakespeare in the Park’s ‘Julius Caesar’ takes aim at Donald Trump The controversy is intense after New York’s Public Theater updates classic political tragedy about the Roman dictator to turn him into Donald Trump.

EVA KIS @thisiskis

eva.kis@metro.us

A prestigious New York theater’s production of “Julius Caesar” has raised controversy for casting a Donald Trump look-alike as the murdered dictator.

In the Public Theater’s annual Shakespeare in the Park production of Shakespeare’s political tragedy about the death of democracy, the Roman ruler is played by “Scandal” actor Gregg Henry, in a suit and red tie with a mop of wispy blond hair and a Slavic-accented wife.

About halfway through the play, Caesar is assassinated by his fellow senators because they think he’d become too powerful and threatened Rome’s democratic government.

The parallel was a step too far for two sponsors.

Delta Air Lines and Bank of America have both pulled their support of the event.

“No matter what your political stance may be, the graphic staging of ‘Julius Caesar’ at this summer’s Free Shakespeare in the Park does not reflect Delta Air Lines’ values,” Delta said via Twitter, adding that the “artistic and creative direction crossed the line on the standards of good taste.”

“The Public Theater chose to present ‘Julius Caesar’ in such a way that was intended to provoke and offend,” according to Bank of America’s statement. “Had this intention been made known to us, we would have decided

not to sponsor it.”

“We stand completely behind our production of ‘Julius Caesar,’” the Public Theater said in a statement. “We recognize that our interpretation of the play has provoked heated discussion; audiences, sponsors and supporters have expressed varying viewpoints and opinions.

Such discussion is exactly the goal of our civically engaged theater; this discourse is the basis of a healthy democracy.”

After Caesar’s death, the Roman republic quickly spirals into chaos, ending with the deaths of the men who conspired against him and ending democracy for almost 2,000 years. On that basis, the Public’s statement continues, “Our production of ‘Julius Caesar’ in no way advocates violence toward anyone.

Shakespeare’s play, and our production, make the opposite point: Those who attempt to defend democracy by undemocratic means pay a terrible price and destroy the very thing they are fighting to save.”

The show is presented free in New York’s Central Park through June 18.

This isn’t the first time criticism of Donald Trump has landed an artist in trouble. Last week, CNN fired Kathy Griffin from her longtime role as cohost of its “New Year’s Eve Live” program after an image of her holding a severed head made to look like Trump leaked online.

Criticizing the current president became its own cottage industry before he even reached the White House. Many comedians, actors and artists have protested his policies through their work, whether it’s Comedy Central’s “The President Show” with Anthony Atamanuik, or musicals in which Russian President and alleged Trump-backer Vladimir Putin gets a golden shower.

Couples Are Craving New Sex Cream

Find out why couples across the country are raving about a new invention called Sensum

Meet the Doctor that’s fixing sexual problems in whole new way. Specialist, Dr. James L. Yeager’s new cream triples men’s penile sensitivity while stimulating their partner like nothing we’ve seen before.

whenever you want. Think about it. No matter what drugs you take; If you don’t have enough “feeling” in your penis, it’s impossible to get an erection.

For years, men begged Dr. Yeager for a solution that would work to end lack of penile sensitivity. And now, his new cream is fixing erection problems a whole new way.

IMPROVED SEXUAL EXPERIENCE MORE THAN DOUBLES YOUR PLEASURE AND TRIPLES HERS!

Clearwater, Florida — A new invention is proving we may have been going about erectile dysfunction (ED) all wrong. The new physician formulated cream triples sensitivity in a man’s penis, resulting in astounding improvements in erection strength and firmness. And because it’s applied directly, it stimulates a partner, too, making sex more enjoyable for everyone! The breakthrough comes after new research points to loss of penile sensitivity as the leading contributor to weak, feeble, and soft erections.

MAKES SEX “FEEL” GOOD AND GETS YOU AROUSED Let’s face it. The failure to achieve a firm erection is devastating! It’s one of the leading causes of relationship issues.

And avoiding sex can often lead to a failed marriage. It is a horrible problem.

But what goes undiscussed and often undiagnosed is the loss of “feeling” and sensation in their penis as men age.

And this loss of sensation, particularly in men over 40, is what makes it next to impossible to stimulate the penis, achieve and keep an erection, and even to climax.

If this is your problem (and studies reveal its likely) you’re not alone. This is called Reduced Penile Sensitivity (RPS). A condition that can cause loss of confidence, frustration, depression, and even anxiety. And One doctor wasn’t about to ignore the suffering of his patients… Meet Specialist, Dr. James L. Yeager. He is changing sexual medicine as we know it.

5 Philadelphia Tuesday, June 13, 2017

A BREAKTHROUGH DISCOVERY Dr. Yeager created a new cream that makes penile sensitivity double, even triple. So even those that have little to no feeling at all in the penis suddenly experience mind-blowing sex again!

After all, the formula for great sex is simple...

The more penile feeling, the more aroused you get, which provokes a firm and lasting erection and a full orgasm

PARTNER’S SATISFACTION

RESTORE SENSITIVITY, ENJOY SEX Reduced Penile Sensitivity (RPS) is commonly associated with aging, diabetes, circumcision, certain surgeries and prescription drugs.

RPS is estimated to strike over 500 million men on a worldwide basis. Dr. Yeager states “It’s not a man’s fault.

They did nothing wrong. They are not any less of a man. And now, men don’t have to suffer any longer.”

ED pills like Viagra, Cialis and natural pills work for many, but men with RPS often end up taking more than directed in the hope of increasing their penile sensitivity, and even then they don’t work well enough.

That’s why Dr. Yeager created SENSUM+®. A revolutionary new cream which promises to give you what no pill can... incredible, long- lasting sensation, even from the slightest touch.

HOW IT WORKS SENSUM+® is a blend of essential oils and natural botanicals that can double, even triple your overall penile sensitivity.

Men rub the cream on their penis twice daily for the first two weeks then once a day for eight additional weeks. There is a nice cinnamon smell and no residues.

The main ingredient, natural Cinnamaldehyde, activates the TRPA1 receptor (IC50= 9.5μM). This increases the reaction of sensory neurons to stimulus such as warmth, cold and touch.

This activation results in more sensitivity of the penis and a pleasurable sensation.

And the word is getting out. “Even men without E.D. problems are

buying up more than we can produce”, says Dr. Yeager.

CLINICALLY PROVEN The clinically-proven nutrients in SENSUM+® help you get and keep a hard erection very easily, and let you climax when you want to.

For example, Joe Romas, 52, from Oakland, was frustrated he had little penile sensation during sex. This made it take too Dr. Yeager’s SENSUM+® triples sexual satisfaction for long to ejaculate. He had men by increasing “penile sensitivty” nearly given up until he discovered SENSUM+® PRIVACY GUARANTEED cream.

SENSUM+® is patent-pending. The Within one week after he started product is discretely shipped in a plain applying SENSUM+®, he reported, “I unmarked package so privacy and now have my old feeling and pleasure confidentiality is assured.

The result of two clinical studies on men, both circumcised and not, show SENSUM+® more than doubled penis sensitivity and more than tripled sexual satisfaction.

Jury begins deliberations in Bill Cosby sex assault trial Cosby, who did not testify, has denied all allegations.

Jurors began deliberating at Bill Cosby’s sexual assault trial on Monday, after a weeklong proceeding in Pennsylvania that saw prosecutors and defense lawyers paint starkly different portraits of the once-beloved comedian.

Montgomery DA Kevin Steele told jurors Cosby’s own words, given to police and in a deposition more than a decade ago, show he ensnared Andrea Constand by posing as a mentor before drugging and sexually assaulting her in his home in 2004.

“Ladies and gentlemen, he has told you what he has done,” he said in his closing argument.

“It is about as straightforward as you are ever going to see in a sex crimes case.”

But defense lawyer

Bill Cosby leaves court. GETTY IMAGES

Brian McMonagle said Constand’s inconsistent accounts, including her shifting estimate of when the incident occurred, revealed her to be a liar out for financial gain.

“She’d remember it for the next 365 days and all the days of her life if there were a sexual assault in this case,” he said in his own summation, as Cosby’s wife, Camille, sat

in the courtroom for the first time since trial began.

Cosby faces charges that he assaulted Constand, now 44, at his home in 2004. At the time, she was director of operations for the women’s basketball team at Cosby’s alma mater, Temple University.

Dozens of women have made similar accusations against Cosby, 79, although only Constand has accused him of a crime that allegedly took place recently enough to allow for prosecution.

Cosby had acknowledged that he obtained Quaaludes, a prescription sedative, in the ’70s to give to young women.

Steele argued that admission showed Cosby was knowingly trying to incapacitate Constand when he gave her 1 1/2 pills, which Cosby said were Benadryl. Constand testified the pills left her disoriented and unable to resist him.

In his argument, McMonagle emphasized that Cosby portrayed the encounter as consensual.

The defense lawyer also walked the jury through several discrepancies in Constand’s story.

He noted she first told police that she cut off contact with Cosby after the incident but actually called him more than 50 times over two months.

“That’s a lie,” McMonagle told jurors. “It’s not a fib, it’s not a mistake. It’s a stone-cold lie.”

Constand testified last week that she made the calls because of her job at Temple, where Cosby was a trustee and a famous alumnus, and Steele noted the calls stopped as soon as she left the school.

McMonagle also questioned why Constand continued spending time privately with Cosby after he made sexual advances that she said she rebuffed.

Readers of this column know the basis of what I write pertains to street safety for all road users.

Or so I thought.

After my last column, I got an email from someone — I’m going to call him Jody — claiming I don’t consider the rights of pedestrians.

“Randy does not think that pedestrians have legal or any rights,” said Jody, among other things.

I don’t know where that’s coming from, Jody.

In fact, as soon as I park my bicycle, I become a pedestrian, and I sure hope I have legal rights then.

But it’s worth noting that bicyclist safety and pedestrian safety are one and the same.

As explained in his email, Jody is often angered by cyclists who (illegally) choose the sidewalk instead of the street.

But you’re not going to stop sidewalk riding completely if the street isn’t deemed safe.

In a recent online survey of 18,000 people, researcher Wesley Marshall found what most of usalready know: Virtually every road user breaks the law. One-hundred percent of drivers who took the survey said they exceed the speed limit; 98 percent of pedestrians said they disregard signals; 96 percent of people who bike said they disregard traffic lights and stop signs.

That’s not much of a

surprise. But the reasons for doing so are what differentiated the survey takers. Drivers and pedestrians said they break the law out of convenience for themselves. Only people on bikes cited personal safety as a reason for breaking the law.

Which means when you see someone riding on the sidewalk, they’re probably just not comfortable riding in the street with people driving motor vehicles at illegal speeds.

But there is a way to help them, and help yourself, Jody. The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia recently finished its bike count reports for 2016. In those reports, the organization looks at key intersections throughout the city and counts how many cyclists are using them on a given day. The South Street Bridge sees about 400 bikes per hour during rush hour, according to the report.

And there’s good reason for that: The bicycle infrastructure is pretty good. It’s painted green, has a buffer for some length, bollards for a small section, and is orderly.

And when the infrastructure is just pretty good, like it is there, you rarely see any sidewalk riding. The Coalition’s counts found sidewalk riding has dropped on the South Street Bridge by 35 percent between 2012 and 2016. Wrong-way riding dropped 50 percent over the same period.

Generally, sidewalk riding drops with implementation of good infrastructure. The problem, of course, is that cycling infrastructure is often deemed unworthy by residents based on the anecdotal behavior of cyclists.

Everyone’s goal should be to make this a nonissue. So, if you want cyclists off your sidewalk for good, Jody, get involved civically and work to give cyclists adequate space on the road.

How doctorprescribed antibiotics left a Philly man disabled Five years after an adverse reaction to medication, a Roxborough manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life is radically changed.

CASSIE HEPLER @MetroPhilly letters@metro.us

Over the phone, Michael Schumacher, 33, has a smooth salesmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice, and his intelligence oozes through the receiver.

When he opens the door, his eyes are kind, but he is shuffling like an 85-yearold man. Just to get down the stairs to the front door, he uses timed four-minute increments of sitting and standing. His muscles have atrophied under his T-shirt, and his only relief is swimming, where gravity does not affect his pain.

All of this from taking a doctor-prescribed antibiotic, Ciprofloxacin.

Schumacher, a Roxborough resident, cannot sit or stand for more than a few minutes at a time. He said it all began after moving to North Carolina with his thengirlfriend and going to a doctor for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;weird pain in my groin area.â&#x20AC;? He was prescribed Ciprofloxacin.

Two and a half days later, after taking five pills, he felt a pop in his groin area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Googled the medication and uncovered a lot of horrific information about this drug and how it can damage tendons. I immediately stopped taking the medication,â&#x20AC;? Schumacher said. Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;Later that night, my Achilles tendon started hurting. The day after, my feet started turning purple, and my feet were extremely cold.

I started limping around the apartment as if I was 80 years old with constant pain in my feet.â&#x20AC;?

During a follow-up, a doctor tried to diagnose a torn Achilles tendon.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I let her squeeze my calves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; worst decision I couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever made,â&#x20AC;?

Schumacher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was in horrific pain and felt like my Achilles tendon was now torn.â&#x20AC;?

Tests and MRIs showed nothing wrong, but the pain was so debilitating he had to go on disability from work in April 2012.

He was confined to bed for 75 percent of the day.

After he tried holistic treatments like acupuncture and change of diet and IV treatments, he was diagnosed with chronic regional pain syndrome and peripheral neuropathy at Mass General Hospital in Boston. He then moved to be with his twin sister in Roxborough.

He talked to lawyers but was told he could not sue because the medicine included warnings of severe side effects. And no lawyer would take his case against the doctor who prescribed the medicine. Other patients have sued over the same drug. In July 2016, the FDA sent letters to doctors to stop giving this drug for minor infections after a lawsuit was filed by the nonprofit Public Citizen.

A spokeswoman for the drugâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manufacturer, Bayer, said that fluoroquinolones like Ciprofloxacin (and Moxifloxacin) have been taken by more than 800 million patients worldwide since 1987.

They â&#x20AC;&#x153;are well-tolerated and effective in all approved indications when used in accordance with current product labeling.

Both medicines have a favorable benefit-risk profile in all approved indications,â&#x20AC;? she said.

For Schumacher, life may never be the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would advise anybody who has something minor like a sinus infection to ask the doctor for an antibiotic that is not incredibly strong and potent,â&#x20AC;? Schumacher said.

Anti-Kremlin protesters fill Russian streets, Putin Home Remodeling Specialist UÊ ÌV i ÃÊEÊ >Ì À Ã critic Navalny jailed UÊ7 ` ÜÃÊEÊ ÀÃ

“www.AmericanHomeConcepts.com”

Baton-wielding riot police broke up anti-corruption protests and detained hundreds of demonstrators in Moscow and other Russian cities on Monday, before a court sentenced opposition leader Alexei Navalny to his second prison term this year.

The protests, called

by Navalny, a strong critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, drew thousands of people and were some of the biggest in Russia since 2012.

“Russia without Putin” and “Russia will be free” chanted the demonstrators, including many young people, who crowded into central Moscow on a public holiday.

Navalny, who is mounting a long-shot bid to unseat Putin in an election next year, had called for mass protests in

Moscow and other cities against official corruption.

The Kremlin has dismissed Navalny’s graft allegations, accusing him of irresponsibly trying to whip up unrest.

The scale of Monday’s protests in Moscow and smaller ones in St. Petersburg and scores of other cities suggests Navalny has maintained his campaign’s momentum despite more than 1,000 people being arrested

after the last such protest in March.

That is likely to embolden him to call for more protests and keep Putin, who is expected to run for and win re-election next year, under rare domestic pressure.

“Neither mass detentions nor criminal cases after March 26 (the last protest) worked,” wrote Lyubov Sobol, a Navalny ally, on social media.

“People are not afraid.”

The OVD-Info monitoring group, a non-profit organization, said preliminary figures showed 730 people had been detained in Moscow. The Interior Ministry said 500 people were detained in St Petersburg.

Navalny’s wife, Yulia, said her husband was detained as he tried to leave their home. REUTERS

No, seriously.

Which, fine.

In person, though, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about love â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a word he uses as though it was about to go out of style.

to stop fighting bert]. Even my character here, you think, “Oh, he’s a sergeant in the Marines, he’s going to be one thing.” But he’s not.

This dude is strong and disciplined, but at the same time he cares.

“Moonlight” and “Megan Leavey” allow us to see the world through the eyes of people we may not know at all.

Art brings people together. If I’m at a movie, it’s like we’re all experiencing the same thing. I’m not thinking about if the people behind me are Republicans or Democrats. We’re all experiencing it and we’re all affected by it.

It can bring us together and help us see things from different perspectives, without being preachy, without being

specifically about one subject matter. You can make a movie about social activism, but films don’t have to do that to bring us closer to each other.

Stay positive It’s hard to be optimistic right now. How pessimistic do you feel these days?

I think it’s getting better. As difficult as it seems on the outside, on the inside people want to see good for human beings. I don’t care if you’re Muslim, Jewish, gay, transgender, Latino, black — we all gotta help each other and get through this thing together.

We know we don’t have all the solutions. But we know that the important thing is to make a better world for each other. So how do we do that?

The government structure may not think like that, but people do think like that. We work towards a better world. These dark times are going to bring the light, I really believe that.

MAKE HEALTHY YOUR NEW HAPPY ISTOCK

A dermatologist talks us through the best practices for optimal skin protection.

wellbeing If you have sensitive skin, mineral is a better choice than chemical.

“Sometimes the chemicals can be irritating or a cause for allergy,” say Papantoniou. Worried about acne? Make sure the label reads “noncomedogenic.”

How often should you apply sunscreen?

Apply sunscreen daily. If you’re just going to work, once in the morning is fine, Papantoniou says.

But, if you’re going to be outside and active, especially sweating or in the water, you should reapply every 90 minutes.

“Sunscreen is water resistant, not waterproof,” she says.

Which number SPF is best?

The AAD recommends the use of SPF 30 or higher. Papantoniou echoes this for daily use, but suggests if you’re going to be outside in direct sunlight, opt for SPF 50 — especially if you have a skin condition like melasma (skin discoloration) or have previously had skin cancer.

“Anything above 50 becomes equivocal,” she notes. “There’s such minute differences, between, say, SPF 50 and 100.”

Seek extra protection Sunscreen is not the be-all, end-all for sun protection. You should also be wearing hats, staying inside on particularly hot days, or at least ducking into the shade when you can.

Also: Even if your makeup or concealer says SPF on it, you still need to use a moisturizer underneath. “Unless you’re going to work looking like a clown [wearing] a thick layer of makeup, it’s not enough,” Papantoniou says.

KATE MOONEY @yatinbrooklyn

kate.mooney@metro.us

Sun’s out; time to slather on the sunscreen. We know sunscreen is essential to protecting against skin cancer, but with so many on the market and so much conflicting information out there — for example, Consumer Reports and the Environmental Working Group gave drastically different recommendations this year — how do you pick the right one for you?

The questions don’t stop there. How often should you apply sunscreen? What does “broad spectrum” mean? To better make sense of the terms and discuss best options, we spoke with dermatologist Dr. Kally Papantoniou, who helped us break it down.

Mineral-based or chemical-based sunscreen?

Both types of sunscreen

Your guide to sunscreen are equally effective, but use different technology to protect your skin.

Mineral-based sunscreens use zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide to physically block ultraviolet rays, while chemicalbased sunscreens use active ingredients, such as oxybenzone and avobenzone, that absorb the rays, break them down and convert them into heat.

Oxybenzone, in

particular, is a controversial ingredient because a study in which it was fed to rats showed it to be a hormone disrupter. However, no evidence suggests it’s a risk to humans, and the American Academy of Dermatology and the Skin Cancer Foundation both approve its use.

“The chemicals in high doses can have an effect on your endocrine system, but they’re such small amounts [in

sunscreen] that we’re not seeing that happen in people,” Papantoniou explains.

In the past, folks have opted out of mineralbased sunscreen because it would leave a thick, chalky white residue on your face (think: whitenosed lifeguard). That’s no longer the case, now that the products contain micronized zinc, smaller particles with less visibility.

Make sure what you’re using says “broad spectrum,” on the label, indicating the sunscreen will protect against both UVA and UVB rays.

Worst contracts in Philly sports

Which players are giving Philadelphia fans a raw deal with ugly contracts?

EVAN MACY @evan_macy

evan.macy@metro.us

If there’s one thing Philly sports are known for lately, it’s not championships. It’s not competitiveness. And it’s not savvy front-office moves.

Philadelphia seems to be one of the worst cities in terms of bad contracts in all of sports. Thankfully, after a big buyout last fall, Ryan Howard’s monstrous $25 million per year deal is off the books for the Phillies. But there are still a few unfavorable pacts on the books for all four rebuilding teams.

Here’s a brief look at the five ugliest:

Buchholz, 1Clay Phillies SP

Age: 32 Contract: 4 yr, $29,945,000 Clay Buchholz was supposed to be a veteran arm

benefiting from a change of scenery heading into 2017. But 10 earned runs over two starts and a season-ending injury later, it is looking like his four-year deal is a complete waste of money.

If he was pitching well, it’s not a terrible contract in terms of tradability — though having him under contract until he is 37 is probably not appealing to suitors. But his torn pectoral all but ended that. Will he pitch for the Phillies in 2018? If so, will he resemble the two-time All-Star who pitched for a Red Sox World Series team? If not, he’ll be a total waste of money on a team that needs a lot of help.

2

Vinny Curry, Eagles DE

Age: 28, Contract: 5 yr, $47,250,000 ($23,000,000 guaranteed) When Curry inked his big extension last offseason he looked like an upand-coming pass rusher entering his prime. But the Eagles are stacked

Kelce agrees with Johnson that Eagles offensive line can be best The Eagles had arguably the best offensive line in football four years ago, when the five-man unit propelled former running back LeSean McCoy to more than 1,600 yards and protected Nick Foles as he had a historic season under center.

But then the unit was broken apart,

at defensive line — with Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham, Chris Long and rookie Derek Barnett all on the roster — it seems as though Curry is more expendable than the Eagles initially thought.

Next season will be key for Curry, who will need to stay on the field and be productive. If not, the Eagles can cut him loose before 2018 with a $6 million buy out that will actually save them $5 million against the cap.

3

Andrew MacDonald, Flyers D

Age: 30 Contract: 6 yr, $30,000,000 When Andrew MacDonald signed his current sixyear contract — that will keep him a Flyer through 2020 — he appeared to be a top-line defender for a Flyers team on the verge of contention. But that was before Shayne Gostisbehere, Sam Morin, Robert Hagg, Ivan Provorov and other young prospects entered the picture.

His contract is now just as big a liability as his roster

and holes up front tortured the Birds for three straight seasons — due in part to bad roster moves, injuries and suspensions.

Holdovers from that spectacular line Jason Kelce, Jason Peters and Lane Johnson are back, healthy and confident heading into 2017. And the guard spots are finally deep and talented with Isaac Seumalo, Allen Barbre, Stephen Wisniewski and Chance Warmack fighting tooth and nail for a starting role.

Clay Buchholz appears — thus far — to have been a horrible investment for the Phillies.

spot is, potentially blocking a future superstar from breaking through in the NHL.

Kend4Mychal ricks Eagles LB

Age: 26 Contract: 4 yr, $29,000,000 ($16,096,060 guaranteed) Kendrick’s extension was signed when the Eagles were in a 3-4 defensive scheme under Chip Kelly, a system that played into Kendricks strengths as an athletic linebacker. Under Jim Schwartz last year, the team played in the

Last week, Johnson — who is off of illegal supplements and at his heaviest — had shameless confidence, as the right tackle brooded: “A lot of people look at Dallas, and Green Bay,” Johnson said.

“But, as far as talent goes, this is the most talented group that we’ve had. I think we have the chance to be the best, or at least top in the top-five.”

A few days later after the Eagles finished practice at OTAs, the team’s center Jason Kelce also brimmed with positivity.

Bayless, 5Jerryd Sixers PG Age: 28 Contract: 3 yr, $27,000,000 The Sixers needed a

“I think we can be as good or better than any of those guys,” Kelce said fresh off his second Pro Bowl trip in 2016. “I think we have tons of great offensive linemen in the room right now, I think we have the best tackle combination of any team in the NFL [in Johnson and Peters].”

Priority No. 1 is surely to be stout in the pass game and protect Carson Wentz, who was sacked 33 times last season — just about the middle of the road for an NFL line. But Kelce is quite confident that the

nickle so often that he was only on the field for 27 percent of the team’s snaps. That’s not enough for a guy who brings with him a $9.15 million cap hit in 2017. That makes him uncuttable and more or less untradable. After next season, he will bring just a $3.2 million cap hit and will likely be moved or cut.

point guard prior to last season and veteran back up Bayless appeared to be a good fit for the youthful Sixers. But a commitment through 2019 — in hindsight — seems a little short-sighted.

He played in just three games last season before being sidelined by the injury bug. The potential drafting of a point guard and the projected use of Ben Simmons as a pointforward will relegate Bayless to a bench role in 2017-18.

varied rushing attack potentially posed

by Philly could help the team post some impressive numbers on the ground as well.

“You can try and imagine yourself as a defensive player,” Kelce said. “One play you’re trying to get your head across and make sure you put everything you have into making a tackle on LeGarrette [Blount] and the next you have Darren Sproles or some of these other cats making you miss on a dime. It’s nice to have varying backs like that.” EVAN MACY

INEPT REFS MAR SPORTS AT THEIR BEST The greatest players in two sports reminded us over the weekend why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fans. On Friday, LeBron James and Kyrie Irving unleashed a record-breaking offense to keep the Cavs alive for one more game against the no longer invincible Warriors.

On Sunday, the Penguins and villain captain Sidney Crosby grabbed the Stanley Cup from Nashville in a 2-0 game featuring defense and goaltending, blood and broken teeth.

The stages were huge.

The players were magnificent.

Too bad the men blowing the whistles werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t up to the task.

In both games, botched calls by hamfisted refs muddied the

stories. In both, bonehead officiating decisions impacted the outcome.

Start in hockey, where the Predatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Colton Sissons scored a minute into the second period of a scoreless Game 6. Sissons found a loose puck behind Penguins goalie Matt Murray and poked it into the net. Clean goal.

Or so it seemed.

Even as Preds fans hoisted their catfish in celebration, referee Kevin Pollock waved it off.

Pollock said he had lost track of the puck before it went into the net â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and

so therefore had blown his whistle a millisecond earlier. No goal. No appeal. No luck.

Hey, it happens. But this was far from the only moment of the series that had Nashville fans thinking the fix was in. A P.K. Subban goal in Game 1 was overturned on a dubious offsides call. Crosbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheap shots were ignored throughout. All of this left Preds coach Peter Laviolette fuming behind the bench like an irate dad. Oldtime Flyers fans probably evoked the name of Leon Stickle.

The NBA officiating Friday night was even more egregious. Somehow, in a thrilling game featuring the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top stars, refs Mike Callahan, Marc Davis and John

was rigging the game for Cleveland. Then social media buzzed in the second half that the league wanted Golden State back in. Silly as it seems, both arguments appeared to have merit.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a master plan to fix games. But I do agree some referees in all sports go into games with preconceived notions. The most notable ref in Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game was Callahan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who has now called 12 straight Cavs wins, including the last

three times they have beaten the Warriors.

Fans often whine against officiating in all sports. Usually, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just viewing the world through the lens of their favorite team, which â&#x20AC;&#x201D; regardless of who it is â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t received a fair call in 50 years.

But sometimes the fans are right. Sometimes the guys in stripes are inept. That occurred in the biggest games in hockey and hoops last weekend.

And both sports are worse for it.

Aries Favors will be granted, but before accepting them, you should find out what’s expected of you in return. You may be better off taking care of matters without assistance.

Libra A business trip or a visit to a school you want to attend looks promising. If you have your questions ready, it will be easy to make a decision that will bring favorable changes.

Taurus Emotional matters will escalate if you argue. Refuse to let a stubborn attitude ruin your plans. It’s important to work well with others if you want to excel.

Scorpio Discuss legal, financial, health or contractual issues in order to make progress.

Look for alternative ways to deal with differences and maintain peace and civility.

Gemini You can dream all you want, but when it comes to getting things done, you must be realistic. Approach your goals with a practical plan in mind.

Sagittarius Your aim should be to connect with people you want to spend more time with or work with. Make your intentions clear and good things will transpire.

Cancer Put your time to good use. Keep busy instead of getting upset over situations you cannot change. Look for ways to minimize the negative effects of outside influences.

Capricorn Business trips, interviews and getting along with your peers will be necessary if you want to bring about change or have things done your way. Don’t get angry.

Leo Protect your well-being. Letting situations that are out of your control get to you will make matters worse. Bide your time and focus on getting things done.

Aquarius Good things come to those who actively pursue what they want. Don’t wait on the sideline when you should be doing your best to make things happen.

Virgo Don’t follow the crowd. Think and make decisions based on your needs, not on what someone else is prompting you to do. Physical improvements are encouraged.

Pisces Your enthusiasm will encourage others to take advantage of your. Size up what’s being asked of you and reconsider how much you want to contribute. EUGENIA LAST
