Some poor NBC10 intern probably looked at the thumbnail and thought this was a photo of Eric Lindros celebrating with his teammates after a goal. Turns out, it's more of a just-concussed-type situation. Props to them for not deleting the tweet, though.
Wawa constructs 6-ton, 2-mile-long hoagie for Hoagie Day. Sheetz employee of the month constructs a peanut butter and possum sandwich and eats it behind a dumpster, just like always.
Milton Street no longer endorses Donald Trump, saying the presumptive Republican presidential nominee “doesn’t think before he talks.” “As for me, I think all the time,” says Street. “It’s usually about a fanciful place where the hot-dog vendor is king, chickens lay marshmallows and there’s a cable station that only plays ‘General Hospital’ all day, every day."

The New York Times says Chris Christie is being vetted as a possible Trump VP. “This isn’t a vetting process. He’s just saying the most hurtful things you can say to a person. I really don’t know how much more I can take,” Christie whispers through a vent at the Taj Mahal. “Plus, it stinks down here. It didn’t use to, but now it definitely does.”
Former Flyer Eric Lindros is elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame. “Welcome to the club,” says Scott Stevens, before delivering a cheap, vicious and currently illegal hug from behind.
