5:31 – Danny can’t believe the weather report today. It’s going to be cold with a high of FREEZING. Danny had a good time at his Super Bowl party last night. It was his first time having a vested interest in the game, but had trouble keeping track because of all the hot chicks dancing around. Danny and Metro were out at McFadden’s for the game, and Danny found it bizarre that they were having a Beer Tub Girl contest. The contest had girls ranging from the girl next door to dirty girls. Metro realized that he’s actually growing up, because he was distraught over hot girls interrupting the Super Bowl and left mid-way through the game. Danny had to call up the girls, but lots of them had similar sounding names which confused him. Danny almost didn’t come to work this morning because the boss kept buying him drinks last night and he destroyed his alarm clock when it went off. Danny didn’t pay real attention to the Super Bowl until he got home from McFadden’s. The high point for Danny in the game came when Peyton Manning threw an interception that got returned for a touchdown. Such showmanship! Danny won his $100 Bet with a listener regarding the Super Bowl. Danny’s in a moral conundrum. He doesn’t know whether or not to accept the listener’s money, but he’ll worry about that when the guy shows up. Danny saw at least three 9’s at McFadden’s last night, but knows that those girls will only be Tub Girls until they marry a rich guy. Metro says the tub girls make a ton of money during the summer when the Phillies are playing at Citizen’s Bank Park. Danny didn’t see many of the commercials during the Super Bowl. Metro’s favorite commercial was the Snicker’s commercial when Betty White got tackled. Sarah liked the Snicker’s commercial where Abe Vigoda got tackled. Danny thought both of them were dead! Danny is upset that people in Los Angeles are upset over four houses being destroyed from mud slides. They’re bitching about that, when there’s a high temperature of 62 degrees while we’re dealing with a high of FREEZING.

A massive winter storm, dubbed "Snowmageddon" by President Barack Obama, has finally made its way out of the Delaware Valley, leaving nearly 30 inches of snow in its wake. Moving in late Friday evening, the heavy snow blanketed the entire region for almost 24-hours straight, letting up at about 7 p.m. Saturday. The storm is officially the biggest February snowfall on record for Philadelphia, and the second biggest snowstorm for the city, totals measuring 28.5 inches at Philadelphia International Airport. PennDOT mobilized 420 trucks to salt and plow roadways throughout the Philadelphia-region and trucks have been applying a salt brine solution to major highways, but officials fear that won't be enough to prevent icing that can occur from the dip in temperatures. SEPTA suspended all service during the storm and began rolling out test buses on regular routes every hour starting at 5 a.m. Sunday morning. Officials say that regional rails and city subways are expected to be up and running on a regular Sunday schedule, though riders should expect delays. SEPTA Detour Though trucks were out plowing overnight, travel along major roadways and side streets in many situations has been greatly reduced by packed snow and ice. While digging out becomes to task at hand, it may be all for nothing as another storm is forecasted to blanket the Delaware Valley with more snow in the coming week. Danny can’t understand SNOWMAGEDDON. It makes no sense. It has to go with Armageddon. Peyton Manning throwing that last interception was an ARMAGEDDON. Snowmageddon has to go!
All School District of Philadelphia schools will be closed today, due to this weekend's record snowfall in Philadelphia. All after-school activities and yellow school bus service are also canceled, as are parochial schools. Administrative and regional offices will open two hours late. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia Schools will also be closed on Monday.
A couple in New jersey were impacted by the storm, their OB/gyn was unable to get his car out of his home, leaving the couple to fend for themselves when it came to delivering the baby. The doctor, Edward Sung, couldn't get his car out - his Linwood home had no power, making his electric garage door opener inoperable. But when Sung eventually suggested the couple use another doctor, Tanya Elwood quickly rejected the idea. "I didn't want someone who was on call, even if they're very good," So her husband decided to get the doctor himself. So the Northfield man left the hospital around 4:30 a.m. Saturday and drove to Sung's home, about 20 minutes away. But as Elwood backed his pickup out of the doctor's driveway, it got stuck in the snow. So both men grabbed shovels and dug it out, finally getting to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's Mainland Campus in Galloway Township shortly before 10 a.m. Bryce Anthony Elwood - who was born four weeks early - then arrived at 11:26 a.m. And both mom and child were doing well Sunday.
The Who rolled out a medley of stadium anthems for it halftime show last night at the Super Bowl. It kicked off with "Pinball Wizard," followed by "Baba O'Riey," "Who Are You," "See Me, Feel Me" and "Won't Get Fooled Again." Unlike last year, when Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band mimed to pre-recorded backing tracks, The Who were performing live. Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey were, backed up by bassist Pino Palladino, Pete's brother Simon on rhythm guitar and backing vocals, John "Rabbit" Bundrick on keyboards, and yes, that was Ringo Starr's son, Zak Starkey, on drums. The evening began with Queen Latifah singing "America The Beautiful" and Carrie Underwood doing the national anthem.
No, your eyes were not deceiving you last night, that was arch enemies David Letterman and Jay Leno sitting on a couch with Oprah Winfrey during a Super Bowl commercial. The ad featured a cranky Letterman complaining, "This is the worst Super Bowl Party ever," with Oprah telling him, "now Dave be nice." Leno then chimed in that Dave was only complaining "because I'm here." According to Late Show producer Rob Burnett, the 15 second spot was Dave's idea, and was shot in complete secrecy Tuesday at his studio in New York. Leno actually arrived at the Ed Sullivan theater in disguise, wearing a hooded sweatshirt and a mustache. "It was quick, it was easy," said Burnett. "The attitude was professional and cordial. Dave and Jay were fine with each other." Why exactly Jay thought it would be a good idea to do a commercial for a competing show is still a big question.

Down 10-0 after the first quarter, Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees led his team to a 31-17 win over Peyton Manning and the Colts. Brees went 32 for 39 passes and 288 yards. And IT WAS Tracy Porter's 74-yard interception return in the 4th quarter sealed the deal. Brees and the Saints rallied to upset Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts in one of pro football's most thrilling title games. A surprise onside kick sparked the Saints' second-half comeback. The championship came 4 1/2 years after Katrina ravaged New Orleans, making the Saints nomads for the 2005 season. There even was some doubt they would return, but the NFL refused to abandon the city. The Superdome was repaired and the Saints won the NFC South in '06, their first season with Brees and Payton. That was the season Manning won his only Super Bowl. He got the Colts off a quick start and had them in front for much of this one, but New Orleans' league-leading offense, which scored 510 points this season, outscored Indy 31-7 after falling behind 10-0. That matched the biggest comeback in a Super Bowl.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed that Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth would be reinstated following last night's Super Bowl. Stallworth was suspended after pleading guilty to DUI manslaughter last year after hitting and killing a pedestrian - Mario Reyes - on March 14th. Stallworth spent 24 days in jail and reached an undisclosed financial settlement with Reyes' family. Goodell met with Stallworth in January and says that he believes the receiver recognizes the gravity of what happened and is "prepared ... to get back in and play. Meanwhile, the Browns are still expected to release Stallworth after he is reinstated.
Warren Sapp is out of jail on $1,500 bond after being arrested on Saturday. Police brought him in on one charge of domestic battery after he allegedly choked a woman in his Miami hotel room. The woman, who says she's been dating Sapp for two years, told police that they'd been paryting with a group of friends when she left to lay down. Sapp reportedly came to the room hours later and began fighting with her over men's names in her cell phone. She says Sapp was trying to throw her out of the room when he choked her, threw her on a couch, and then picked her up by her shirt and neck only to throw her down again and injure her leg. An affidavit says she was taken to the hospital with a swollen knee and bruises on her neck. Sapp maintains that he'd asked the woman to leave because he was expecting company and that she fell when he tried to help her get off a couch. Sapp's attorney says his client plans to fully cooperate with authorities.
7:01 – The Philadelphia Wings Dance Team are in the studio to promote the release of their new calendar. The theme of the calendar is construction. Danny sees the idea, but can’t get over that’s it’s just a hot chick in a bikini holding a wrench. In celebration of the weather, we’re sending the Wings Angels Dance Team out with Gibbons to hand out some coffee and breakfast courtesy of our good friends at 7-11.
7:08 – Of all the Super Bowl commercials that Danny saw, his favorites had to be Snickers ads where Betty White and Abe Vigoda got tackled. Metro agreed that played some audio from said commercials. Danny can’t understand how the news this morning was all about the commercials instead of the actual outcome of the game. Danny heard that the commercials for Doritos were great. Sarah didn’t find them very amusing. Metro was a fan of one of them. Lori calls in and says she wasn’t a fan of the Doritos commercials because she felt like the kid was telling the guy who was trying to date his mom not to hit her. Mike calls in and says he loved the commercial. It reminded him of the foul-mouthed little kid in the movie “Role Models”. Leading up to the Super Bowl, there was a ton of hype surrounding what many thought would be an anti-abortion ad starring Tim Tebow. The commercial was very tame, given what everyone thought it would contain and was actually pretty funny in Danny’s eyes.

Walter’s sister does heroin and on one occasion took his kids out to buy heroin with her. He decided to drive down to Jersey and confront her. His sister was out of control, which ended with him punching his sister in the mouth. Subsequently, a warrant was put out for his arrest. Danny informs him that someone should have taken pictures to prove that she didn’t lose teeth as he may serve up to 5 years in prison. Walter freaks out, but Danny responds saying that he doesn’t expect the judge to punish him. As long as his sister admits in front of the judge that his decision to punch her was justified by her inappropriate behavior, he will be fine.

8:08 – Danny asks the question, “Are all men emasculating?” Danny brings up how Amy thinks he has chores just because he does tasks here and there. She also blocks the door with a bunch of trash bags which frustrates him in the morning, because he ends up throwing the trash out himself. Danny believes letting the woman in the relationship wear the pants is a smart move, as you just leave it to them to decide things. Danny then plays the “girlfriend took his spine” TV commercial from last night. Thinking back Danny does not recall anyone ever “making” him do anything, besides the time he was asked to remove his cocaine residue from the table in his 80’s radio show days.
Jim calls in rubbing in that him and his girlfriend have the perfect balance. Danny then fires back saying he hates the term “perfect balance.”
Victor calls in saying that his wife doesn’t wear pants and that it’s a two way street. Danny thinks it’s a valid answer and respects his perspective on the topic.
Amy, Danny’s fiancé, calls in admitting she wears the pants in the relationship. Amy’s fed up with Danny’s rude behavior and tells him he is going to be in trouble when he gets home, but Danny responds with, “My ass!” He then has her bring up how she set up a porno flick for him to watch during Super Bowl and that he is the king. They then debate over whose idea it was to watch the flick, while Danny rubs in that he is indeed the king.

A massive winter storm, dubbed "Snowmageddon" by President Barack Obama, has finally made its way out of the Delaware Valley, leaving nearly 30 inches of snow in its wake. Moving in late Friday evening, the heavy snow blanketed the entire region for almost 24-hours straight, letting up at about 7 p.m. Saturday. The storm is officially the biggest February snowfall on record for Philadelphia, and the second biggest snowstorm for the city, totals measuring 28.5 inches at Philadelphia International Airport. Obama is too cool for SNOWMAGEDDON. Danny doesn’t have to come up with cool news, simply because he is not the most powerful man in the world!
Another major winter storm will affect the area this week. Winter storm watches are already issued for areas just west of the Philadelphia area for Tuesday night and all of Wednesday. This will be a different storm and one more like a typical winter storm. Light snow will develop late Tuesday and become heavy Wednesday. There could be an initial mix of rain and snow south and east of the Philadelphia area. As the storm strengthens however, it will pull in colder air and everywhere will be seeing snow. The peak of the storm will be Wednesday morning and continue into the afternoon. Snow will be heavy and the wind will begin to gust. Right now it looks like the much of the area could see a major winter storm. Amounts will not be as high as the past storm but significant enough to impact travel much of the day Wednesday.
The massive winter storm that blanketed the region is being blamed for two deaths in New Castle County. Family members discovered a 60-year-old man half-buried in the snow near Brown and Stroud Streets in Wilmington just before 9 a.m. The victim apparently suffered from dementia and had wandered from his home overnight. He was rushed to Wilmington Hospital where he was pronounced dead at about 1:15 p.m. State Police said a 49-year-old man was found buried in the snow on Old Baltimore Pike at about 3 a.m. Saturday. A resident was apparently shoveling snow when he came across a boot in the snow. Upon further investigation, the victim was found underneath the snow in a security uniform. Authorities believe the victim had left work early and collapsed due to a medical condition. The exact cause of death is under investigation.

Sarah gets a lunar landing, Super Bowl traditions, Life Coach, Vincent 'Big Pussy' Pastore, and CBS3's Beasley Reece
5:32 – A big snow storm is comin’ and the supermarkets are chaotic. Danny knows that he’ll be able to get bread and milk in a foot of snow. If we can land on the moon then we can get bread and milk in the snow. Sarah and Metro believe that there was never really a lunar landing. Analyze the moon rock, they’re not from Jersey. Danny’s certain that the hoax couldn’t continue for this long if the lunar landing never happened. Sarah starts shooting out conspiracy theories that Danny shoots down. Kenny calls to say that despite using extremely strong telescopes, there’s been no visual proof of the American flag and footprints on the surface of the moon. Mark calls to say that the temperature on the moon wouldn’t support human life, but Danny walks to work every day in the freezing cold. Shot down again. If Sarah doesn’t believe that astronauts landed on the moon then Danny’s moon is going to land on her. He drops his pants and jumps on her, ass first.
6:00 – NEWS: A major snowfall is on the way for the Delaware Valley region, Friday night into Saturday. Six to 12 inches of accumulation is expected in Philadelphia before it ends. Police are looking for two men in connection with the gunpoint robberies of two small grocery stores in South Philadelphia. Philadelphia police lieutenant Frank Vanore says the second robbery, last Friday night at the A&E Grocery at 13th and Porter Streets, was caught on video as the clerk was robbed: "She's held at gunpoint. It appears to be a semiautomatic Tec-9 that the individual has. And the other individual walks into the store, actually goes behind the counter, and takes approximately $600 from the cash register."
Sharks bit and killed a Florida man who was kiteboard-surfing off the state's southern Atlantic Coast, sheriff's investigators said on Thursday. It was Florida's first sharkbite death in five years, although the state averages about 21 shark attacks a year. Lifeguard Daniel Lund said that he saw a man down in the water with his kiteboard off Stuart Beach on Wednesday afternoon and swam out to him with a rescue board. "Upon nearing, Lund saw blood in the water and heard the male screaming that a shark had bit him," the sheriff's report said. The injured man stopped talking as the lifeguard swam ashore with him in tow. Paramedics were unable to revive him. Usually sharks don’t like the taste of humans, but maybe the guy was a Navy SEAL!
A Wisconsin woman who tied up a cheating lover and glued his penis to his stomach said Tuesday that she didn't mean to hurt him and only overreacted because he had tried to contact her 12-year-old daughter. Therese A. Ziemann, 48, of Menasha, said she and three other women only meant to confront the married man about his cheating ways. Her decision to grab the bottle of nail glue from her makeup bag was "a stupid spur-of-the-minute decision," she said. Ziemann, her sister, another lover and the man's wife were all sentenced Tuesday to one year probation plus community service for their roles in the revenge plot. A nail gun would hurt worse, but Danny could get to the thigh, not the stomach. Danny might glue himself to himself just for fun on the air today.
Police in Anaheim are looking for the person who groped a woman on the Tower of Terror ride at Disney's California Adventure theme park. A woman in her 30s was on the ride with her daughter when the lights went out, as they always do just before the ride makes an adrenaline-pumping, 13-story drop, and she felt someone grab her breast, said Anaheim police Sgt. Rick Martinez. When the lights came back on, the person let go, she told police, who are working to identify the groper using a souvenir photo taken during the "delirious drop into the fifth dimension and beyond." The victim, who identified herself to the media as Christina Esquivel, told theme park security and police that she thought a man to her left touched her, but she did not see who it was. The ride’s been over for a week. Until Danny sees the photo he’s not a believer. Hands, hair, and shoes go flying all over the place. Upon further photo proof, Danny is a believer. But the Tower of Terror is a scary ride, so maybe he deserves a boob squeeze.
Britain is facing a new Al Qaeda terror threat from suicide ‘body bombers’ with explosives surgically inserted inside them. Until now, terrorists have attacked airlines, Underground trains and buses by secreting bombs in bags, shoes or underwear to avoid detection. But an operation by MI5 has uncovered evidence that Al Qaeda is planning a new stage in its terror campaign by inserting ‘surgical bombs’ inside people for the first time. A leading source added that male bombers would have the explosive secreted near their appendix or in their buttocks, while females would have the material placed inside their breasts in the same way as figure-enhancing implants. The women are going from an A cup to a TNT!

Danny would eat dirt if Michelle told him it was good.
6:41 – SPORTS: Donovan McNabb reiterated that he expects to remain an Eagle this coming season during his annual "SportsCenter" appearance at the Super Bowl. He also echoed his "finish the job" comments of a few weeks ago, saying the Birds will be playing in the big game next year. There is only one goal, a championship.
Donovan McNabb said during a South Beach appearance on ESPN's SportsCenter last night that he hopes teammate Michael Vick gets a chance to play elsewhere next season. "I don't know what particular team," McNabb said. "I just hope he has an opportunity to be a starter for another team. I think he definitely deserves that, and he has done a great job of getting himself together and preparing himself for this opportunity. And I think he is going to flourish in it." The Eagles have a $1.25 million option on Vick's 2010 contract. If they do not exercise that option by March 5, Vick will be an unrestricted free agent. The Eagles would no doubt love to trade the 29-year-old Vick for a draft pick, but it remains to be seen if they can find a suitor. There’s a lot of places to send Michael Vick, but Buffalo is not one of them. Nobody deserves Buffalo.
Colts head coach Jim Caldwell says injured star defensive end Dwight Freeney is rapidly improving as the Super Bowl approaches. The All-Pro defensive end has not practiced since tearing a ligament in his right ankle in the AFC title game, but he is hoping to test the ankle in today's Super Bowl practice. The Colts will practice one more time at the Miami Dolphins' team complex, then have a walkthrough scheduled for Saturday.

Pete Townshend defended his selection to perform with The Who in Sunday's Super Bowl half-time show, saying Thursday that he was saddened by critics of the choice due to his 2003 link to child pornography. Townshend and singer Roger Daltrey performed three songs as a preview to Sunday's show, but the legendary guitarist turned serious when asked about two Florida-based groups who have criticized the National Football League's choice. "I've been very saddened by it," Townshend said. "I feel like we're on the same side. That's really all I can say." Townshend was arrested in 2003 in Britain in a child pornography sting but later cleared, saying his accessing a child pornography website was for his anti-porn activism.

5:32 – Danny had a dentist appointment yesterday. He’s used to doing root canals in two phases, now they happen in three. He was told that he has to get a crown to finish off the work he just had done. It’s just making appointments for hurt. Danny just wants to stop the pain. He’s had lots of dental work done over the years though. He’s a pro at adjusting the oxygen to nitrous oxide ratio while the doctor hops around the examining rooms seeing different patients. It can lead to seizures though. Sarah doesn’t like Novocain shots, they hurt to begin with and then her face is numb for the rest of the day. Danny and his friends used to play games with laughing gas in their misspent youth. The longest seizure won the game. He’s also bitten many dentists over the years. They do poke him with needles in the mouth after all.
5:48 – Sarah spent yesterday recovering from drunken baking at Danny’s house. Metro was smoking a cigarette outside the station when a deranged homeless man started yelling at a group of women smoking, using extremely colorful language. So Metro turned around and walked back into the building, not standing up for the ladies. Danny lives for those moments when he can be the knight in shining armor. In that situation Danny would ask the women if they felt they were in danger and then thrown a hard elbow to the guys’ head. Metro has no tolerance for confrontation; he’s been in fights that end up with him on the ground. Maybe Metro should go by the testicle from the Saints fan auctioning his off for Super Bowl tickets and add it to his pair.

Two officers were injured after a suspect backed his car into them during a traffic stop in North Philadelphia. The incident happened at about 9:45 p.m. near the intersection of N. 16th and Oxford Streets. According to police, two officers had pulled over a vehicle and were walking to question the driver when he allegedly backed the car into the officers. The officers then opened fire on the suspect as he attempted to flee the scene. The suspect was struck several times. He was taken into custody at 25th and Arlington Streets. The officers were taken to Temple University Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Police took two suspects into custody and are searching for a third following a police-involved shooting in North Philadelphia Wednesday evening. The incident happened at about 6 p.m. in the 1800 block of N. 18th Street. According to investigators, officers were responding to reports of a home invasion when they were fired upon by several suspects. The officers returned fire and struck one suspect in the arm. That suspect fled the scene, but was apprehended a few blocks away. The second suspect also fled the scene, but he was taken into custody in the 1700 block of N. Gratz Street. Police said they are looking for a third male who was armed with a handgun and was wearing a ski mask. It seems pretty easy to invade an empty house.
A San Francisco man claims he was high on a double dose of medical marijuana cookies when he screamed, dropped his pants and attacked crew members on a cross-country flight, forcing its diversion to Pittsburgh, the FBI said Wednesday. Kinman Chan, 30, was charged in a criminal complaint with interfering with the duties of a flight attendant on allegations that he fought with crew members of US Airways Flight 1447 from Philadelphia to Los Angeles on Sunday. His federal public defender, Jay Finkelstein, declined to comment. Crew members said Chan made odd gestures before he entered the plane's rear restroom shortly after takeoff and began to scream, according to the complaint. Chan told the FBI that he "came back to reality" and exited the restroom, at which point the crew noticed his "pants were down, his shirt was untucked and all the compartments in the restroom were opened." When crew members tried to get Chan to sit, he fought them and had to be subdued in a choke hold, the complaint said. This guy is taking the fight for marijuana equality back 20 years. Danny would be reluctant to vote for a presidential nominee who didn’t come out and say they smoked weed. Times have changed and experimenting in college isn’t the taboo it was years ago. It might not make them a better president, but it’s the talent pool we’ll be dealing with.
Dan Gross from the Daily News reports that Mike Tyson surprised the crew at Old City Tattoo (44 S. 2nd) when he strolled in Tuesday afternoon looking for someone to ink black roses on his left forearm. Tattoo artist Martin LaCasse, who just relased an art book called “365” through Presto Art Publishing, took Tyson in the back room and spent about 90 minutes tattooing the former heavyweight champion of the world turned “Hangover” co-star. That place is next door to Danny’s house. He’s considering getting a tattoo of the Penthouse keys, which would get him free drinks at the clubs for life. He’s running out of spice though. Danny’s Mike Tyson impression sounds more like Sylvester the Cat.
Guitar Center is offering musicians across the U.S. the chance to record an album with Slash, the legendary guitarist for Guns ‘N’ Roses and later Velvet Revolver. Unsigned bands can submit their tracks at www.yournextrecord.com through April 30, according to a Guitar Center news release. Slash will select the winning track and write and record on a three-track demo for the winning band. Guns ‘N’ Roses producer Mike Clink will produce the single. That sounds pretty cool. Imagine being the guitar player that doesn’t get to play on the record because Slash is on it.
Brian Johnson, singer for AC/DC is speaking out on Bono's efforts to spread the word for charities. Why does he consider the humanitarian efforts of do-gooder Bono to be dirty deeds? "When I was a working man I didn't want to go to a concert for some bastard to talk down to me that I should be thinking of some kid in Africa."

With Elton Brand and Andre Iguodala scoring 20-plus points in the same game for the first time this season, the Sixers downed the Bulls, 106-103, in overtime Wednesday night at the Wachovia Center. The Sixers (17-31) snapped the 23-24 Bulls' five-game road win streak and gave Chicago its first OT loss after four overtime victories.
Ryan Potulny scored the game's only goal during a power play with 17 seconds left, and the Edmonton Oilers won their second straight following a 13-game skid, topping the Flyers 1-0 on Wednesday night.
The New Orleans Saints pull the upset and march to a victory over the Indianapolis Colts with a score of 35-31 at Super Bowl XLIV, according to the official Electronic Arts simulation run by the award-winning Madden NFL 10 on Xbox 360. The first three quarters display the offensive fireworks that both teams have become known for, with the Colts leading 24-21. A nail biting fourth quarter begins with a big play, courtesy of the Saints’ special teams, when Reggie Bush returns a punt for a 42-yard touchdown. However, with minutes left in the game the duo of Joseph Addai and Peyton Manning put the Colts back on top with a go-ahead touchdown pass. With the game hanging in the balance, Drew Brees hits David Thomas for an 11-yard touchdown and the game winning score. Drew Brees takes home MVP honors as the Saints earn their first Super Bowl Championship title in the franchise's 46 year history. Danny is willing to bet $1 million that none of this exact scenario will come true.

Not all of Ozzy’s days were dark; there were some great times with Sabbath. In their early days they were all packed in a van driving hundreds of miles for a gig, then days later they’re flying on the Concord. July’s going to be a big month for Ozzy. He’ll be rolling out a new album and Ozzfest dates. He was going to call the new album Soul Sucka, but after thinking about it he’s going with a different title.

Tina can’t find a good man. She’s 38, a high school teacher and wants to know where to look. There aren’t any, that’s why. Danny thinks that Tina doesn’t want a good man. She wants a hard working man, who is funny and tells the truth. That guy is going to be boring. The bad boy isn’t a good choice either. The ideal man is somewhere in between. Just look for a guy who sucks the least. Internet dating might be a good idea for her.
Denise has had a boyfriend of 4 years who is 12 years younger than her. She was suspicious and found some text messages from another woman in his phone. It turns out he had affairs with seven women he met on an internet sex sites. He told her that he was going to go legit and be a good boy. Danny knows that guys don’t give that up. The boyfriend will keep a cell phone at work so he can carry on away from Denise. The problem is he doesn’t think that he’s doing anything bad. If she can’t tolerate that then she needs to go.

8:01 – Who Would Win In A Fight: Peyton Manning or Howard Eskin
Yesterday on the show Howard started attacking Peyton, calling him an overrated quarterback. Metro takes Manning because he’s a top level professional football player and Eskin’s a talk show host. Sarah doesn’t like Manning, but sides with Metro because he’s a four-time MVP. If it was a war of words then Eskin would win, but this is about fists. Danny understands that Manning is a professional athlete, but Danny takes Eskin because he’ll fight dirty.
Zoli takes Eskin because he’s the Philadelphia Werewolf. Mark takes Manning. Scott takes Eskin because he’s a Philly guy and he named his son Spike. Jeff is a call for Mannning. Frank is on Team Manning. Alan, who works in personal security takes Eskin because Howard once told him that he didn’t need protection because he’s always at the Vet and the Spectrum and can handle himself. Eskin’s son, Spike, walks in the studio to say that his vote goes for Manning. It’s a tie on the phones, but Eskin takes 69% of the text vote. Eskin wins!

Police in Chester County are concerned that more than 100 furniture store customers could be out thousands of dollars after a store closed its doors abruptly last week. The 'At Home Furniture' store in East Caln Township was eager to do plenty of business in the weeks leading up to its abrupt closure, leaving some customers without their purchased items and demanding answers. "He (the salesperson) was eager to sell it, he was saying 'I'll give you $100 off for this' and 'I'll give you this piece free if you buy this set,'" said Yasmin Escarfullery, a customer of the store. Escarfullery arrived Wednesday to pick up her bedroom and living room set to find that the doors had been locked and the phone lines were disconnected.
A jury took about five hours to convict Holly Crawford of one count of animal cruelty, a verdict prosecutors and animal activists hailed as a victory for the voiceless three kittens she pierced and sold on eBay . The kittens couldn't speak up for themselves when the Ross Twp. pet groomer pierced their necks and ears, docked their tails and put them up for auction online as Gothic kittens, activists said. The verdict capped a long day of testimony and deliberation, as prosecutors painted Ms. Crawford as uncaring toward the kittens, capable of pinning them while she pierced their ears and necks with a 14-gauge needle - the size they contend is used for cattle tagging. She also tied rubber bands so tightly around their tails they fell off. Danny find nose piercings to be a turnoff, but pierce the cats all day! Sarah’s ears aren’t pierced. She thinks it’s weird to have metal going through skin.

5:31 – There’s a cookie sheet stuck to Danny’s hand. He baked a cake to show off to Duff from Ace of Cakes who is coming in today. Now the tray is stuck to Danny’s hand after a walk in the snow. Danny was in charge of purchasing the ingredients and supervised Amy and Sarah as they fulfilled the cake destiny. It was a big baking party at the Bonaduce house with plenty of alcohol. Danny doesn’t remember going to bed, Sarah doesn’t remember going home. Today’s show will be uncovering all of last night’s events, just like The Hangover. Danny ordered sushi for the three of them and then disappeared for two hours. He came back with an insane amount of food, more than any of them could eat in a week. Danny had an intense workout this morning to get bombarded by snow coverage on the news this morning. So the past 20 hours have been action packed for him. All Metro did was wait for the snow. Quite dull in contrast.

Pennsylvania SPCA officers busted a suspected dog fighting ring inside a Philadelphia home early Tuesday morning. Humane Law Enforcement officers found seven pit bulls and a cat while executing a search warrant on a home following a shooting in the 2200 block of N. Delhi Street at about 2:30 a.m. One of the dogs was pronounced dead at the scene while another was in need of surgery due to injuries from an apparent fight. Officials said many of the dogs were badly scarred. A fighting ring covered in blood was also discovered, along with dog fighting paraphernalia. The home had apparently been under investigation for several months before the search.
A New Jersey man accused of shooting and killing his African gray parrot with a BB gun because its screeching annoyed him while he was watching a NASCAR race on TV has been indicted on an animal cruelty charge. Dennis Zeglin, 67, of Randolph was indicted Tuesday by a Morris County grand jury. The charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $15,000 fine. Zeglin allegedly shot the parrot, named "Mikey," three times on June 7. His wife called police when she saw that the bird had been killed. That’s one expensive bird. How did a guy with that much interest in NASCAR get a loud mouth bird? Maybe it was rooting against Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Police say it took three officers to subdue a man who threatened his girlfriend with a sword. It happened around 11:15 p.m. Sunday in Lower Township, New Jersey. Officers responded to a 911 call from a woman in a bedroom in the 200 block of West Bates Avenue in the Villas section of the township. The caller said her boyfriend had just assaulted her, and was threatening her with a large sword. When officers arrived, they identified the suspect as Andrew Hollingsworth, 46. His girlfriend says Hollingsworth had struck her in the face and threw her into the furniture. When she went to call police, she says Hollingsworth removed a large sword from its sheath and threatened her with it. Danny can’t think of a girlfriend he HASN’T threatened with a samurai sword. He’s never used it though, it could kill someone!
"Avatar" and gritty Iraq war drama "The Hurt Locker" will battle for supremacy at the Oscars after topping nominations with nine nods each. James Cameron's "Avatar" -- the most expensive movie ever made and the highest grossing film of all time -- picked up a slew of nominations, including best picture and best director. Low-budget "The Hurt Locker" -- directed by Cameron's ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow -- also earned nine nods including best director, best picture, best actor and best original screenplay. 'Avatar' and 'Hurt Locker': the Oscars odd couple Bigelow is only the fourth woman ever nominated for directing and the first since Sofia Coppola, who received a nod for "Lost in Translation" in 2003. No woman director has ever won the Oscars' top prize. Danny’s going with The Hurt Locker for Best Picture, Sarah agrees. Metro’s pick is Up In the Air.
Mel Gibson was pitching his new blockbuster movie Edge of Darkness on TV today when, repeatedly quizzed about his drinking past and notorious anti-Semetic rant, he exploded on air. The Mad Max actor thought he was off-air after an uncomfortable interview with the reporter in Chicago when he took a swig of coffee and called the journalist an "a******." Gibson had just spent an uneasy few moments with WGN TV's Dean Richards who began his interview asking the actor if he felt he was a different person since the events several years ago. As the reporter begins to wrap up, Gibson slugs back his coffee, gives a thumbs up and is then heard to make his own signature sign off. Danny spends most of his time talking about what he did when he was wasted. Who gives the thumbs up for mea culpas? He’ll know at the box office.

Former Eagle Hank Baskett is getting ready to play in th Super Bowl on Sunday and one of Baskett's best friends on the Birds was Donovan McNabb. Having found an alternate path to the Super Bowl himself, does Baskett think McNabb would benefit from a change of scenery? "Maybe next year, but not right now," Baskett said. "I believe what he said the other day [about unfinished business]. He doesn't want to be seen as walking out on his guys." Once he got over the shock of having his life disrupted, Baskett found being picked up by the Colts wasn't a bad gig. His primary role is on the kickoff return team, as a blocker. He caught just four passes for Indianapolis.

In the ad two sports fans are watching an NFL game and discover their mutual affection over a bowl of chips. They proceed to make out to the surprise of another sports fan watching nearby. The official rejection letter from CBS offered a vague explanation for its refusal to run the ad.

He’ll also be on Iron Chef this weekend. Danny introduces Duff to the cake he made with Amy and Sarah last night. He’s not exactly impressed. He wants to take a slap shot at it with a hockey stick. Duff’s Charm City Cakes offers employees two months paid vacation so the guys can pursue interests like playing bass in So I Had To. Duff remembers meeting Danny before. It was at the Baltimore train station. Danny helped Duff carry a box down some stairs out of the kindness of his heart because he was a nice guy. Duff’s been in the band for 9 years. He started the bakery to hit the road and play music. Guys who can cook get sex. Are there cake groupies? Duff can’t answer that question. Danny’s dying to go to a Friendly’s and start a fight.

Offering a left nut is usually a phrase that nobody follows up with. What would someone do with an bonus testicle? The sky’s the limit. Once he gives it up, the new owner has full say on what happens to it. Danny brings up a good point, looking for a doctor to perform the procedure. Maybe Tracy can replace it with a stainless steel prosthetic, which could be fun at a airport security checkpoint. That wouldn’t be good for his girlfriend’s teeth though. Danny wants to inspect the goods before he buys them, Metro and Sarah are not interested in any of that. What if the Saints make the Super Bowl next year too? Interesting question. Tracy really wants to party with Danny.

State Police Major Huascar Rivera says troopers pulled over a tractor trailer loaded with marijuana in Lebanon County after it failed to stop at a weigh station on Interstate 81 on Sunday. Rivera said Monday they found six plywood crates containing between 4,000 and 6,000 pounds of marijuana hidden behind other boxes. He says the drugs have a street value between $10 and $25 million.

A Pennsylvania woman is on trial to face animal cruelty charges for marketing 'gothic kittens' with ear and neck piercings over the Internet. The trial of 35-year-old dog groomer Holly Crawford began Tuesday in Wilkes-Barre. Prosecutors say she inflicted pain on the cats to make money. Attorneys for Crawford say she didn't act maliciously. Crawford's home outside Wilkes-Barre was raided in December 2008 after the SPCA of Luzerne County received a tip that she was marketing the animals online for hundreds of dollars. Danny’s not certain that it’s legal because cat’s might not count as pets. Sarah loves her cat, it thinks that it’s a dog.

5:31 – Danny’s boots seem to be wearing unevenly. This morning Metro saw Danny walking with an unfamiliar woman in the lobby on the way to his pre-show smoke break. He walked up in the middle of a conversation to hear Danny talking to a woman about an ambulance and waiting for the EMT’s. Then when she asked about smoking a cigarette Danny offered up Metro as a smoking buddy, which made him extremely uncomfortable. The entire ordeal started when Danny walked out of his alley to find a woman asking him to call an ambulance. What for? She’s anorexic and had no money. So Danny dialed 911, but didn’t want to be late for work. She wasn’t in immediate danger, so he told the operator that he’d walk the girl to the nice, warm lobby of the radio station. Cut to Metro walking in on Danny mid-conversation in the lobby minutes later. So what happened during the big smoke break? Why would Danny leave Metro with a crazy anorexic girl? He’s rattled that he had this insane cigarette-smoking girl. When the ambulance rolled up she told Metro she’d be back after she got rid of the EMT’s and that’s when Metro snuck back into the building and came upstairs to yell at Danny. Great. Danny loves him some anorexics, but he believes there’s no way the crazy girl was anorexic. Danny’s also got waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much cash on him. When going to take out $200 from the ATM, but pushed an extra zero. The bright side is that he now has cash for lap dances at the Penthouse Club this weekend.

A traffic reporter in a small plane put himself in the thick of a rush-hour tie-up when his aircraft had to make an emergency landing Monday on the New Jersey Turnpike. It was a little before 7 a.m., before the morning rush in the Philadelphia suburbs gets going, when a low oil pressure indicator came on in the Cessna owned by Wilmington, Del.-based Out of the Blue, Inc. The pilot, flying with traffic reporter Mike Lankford for Metro Networks, which was providing traffic reports for a number of TV and radio stations, put the plane down on the northbound lanes of the turnpike in Cherry Hill about two miles south of Exit 4. Danny’s taken flying lessons all over the country, but hasn’t ever gotten past the third lesson in the process to get his license. Danny would have paid money to be in the plane that Vogt landed. $500 to be the passenger, $10,000 to be the pilot.

In President Obama's 2011 budget request, NASA gets a major programmatic shakeup in its $19 billion budget, which represents a bump of $276 million from the previous year.

The only reason to go to the moon is to put nuclear rockets on it to attack our enemies, but right now it’s far too costly to start the project. Danny is an expansionist.

Colorado Springs police say a dad accused of passing out in a McDonald's playground told his children to "bite the officers' faces off." Officers ended up using a stun gun on 28-year-old Joshua Alger after he resisted police commands and kicked an officer in the face, a police report said. Police were called to the McDonald's at 4801 N. Academy Blvd. after 4 p.m. Wednesday on a report of "an intoxicated party passed out with two children in the playground area," the report stated. Officers determined that Alger was allegedly intoxicated on a playground bench and discovered that he also has a misdemeanor warrant for failing to appear in court on a December obstructing police charge. Police said Alger became irate after officers summoned the children's mother to pick them up. When Danny was at his peak of drinking he’d take the kids the McDonald’s Playland and let the kids go nuts while he drank. Then he’d have the kids call their mother to come pick them all up because he was too tanked to drive.

Sarah doesn’t like when Manning yells at his teammates because he could NEVER make a mistake on the field. Spike thinks that Manning is the best quarterback of all time.

"My little brother just grabbed onto me and held on," Sage explained. The siblings were alone in the water, but a resident's dog across the canal altered his owner that something was amiss. "His eyes were so fixed … and then all of a sudden I saw a red hat and there was movement to the hat," said Joanne Abbott, who called 911. The water was a frigid 36 degrees and Sage and Tristan held on for approximately five minutes. Great story.

Haiti's prime minister said it's clear to him that the 10 U.S. Baptists who tried to take 33 Haitian children out of the quake-ravaged country "knew what they were doing was wrong." Haiti is also open to having the Americans tried in the United States, Prime Minister Max Bellerive told The Associated Press. Bellerive said some of the children have parents who are alive. The government is attempting to locate them. The aborted Baptist "rescue mission" has become a major distraction for a crippled government trying to provide basic life support to millions of earthquake survivors. Haiti's courts and justice ministry were destroyed in the disaster, which also killed many judicial officials. But the government insisted Monday that the Americans - however well-intentioned - must be prosecuted to send a strong message against child trafficking. These are missionaries who lied to get the kids over the border, but the parents willing gave their kids away. Who’s the bad guy here? Who would they give the kid to next?

Police arrested a Newark man Friday, charging him with stealing thousands of men's shoes and photos of his victims over two decades on the campus of the University of Delaware and surrounding neighborhoods. Newark police say Walter J. Rubincan Jr., 46, broke into Newark homes, apartments and fraternity houses, bypassing expensive electronics and jewelry to go for the shoes and photos instead. Several thousand shoes in 150 boxes were taken from Rubincan's home Friday, police said. He was charged with 25 counts of burglary, 77 counts of theft and 15 counts of criminal mischief. Rubincan was arraigned and cash bail was set at $138,000.
Prosecutors in Bucks County have essentially watered down their own case against a Philadelphia woman charged with offering to trade sex for World Series tickets to an undercover cop. Defense attorney William J. Brennan was unsuccessful in his bid to have the case against Susan Finkelstien thrown out of court. But he got the next best thing when the prosecutor announced he was dropping the charge of promoting prostitution. "We are elated that the lead charge has been dismissed. This case was never promoting a prostitution case. With all respect to the Commonwealth it should have never been charged that way. The remaining charge, which was added at the preliminary hearing, is the lowest possible charge." If it’s your, and you can give it away for free, then you should be able to sell it. Plus she gets it back to give it or sell it to anyone else she wants. Prostitution would be a big time saver for everyone.
Police say a dispute on Facebook resulted in a shooting outside a Philadelphia high school that critically injured two men and wounded a 17-year-old girl. Police Lt. John Walker says about 40 people, mostly teen girls, gathered for a fight outside Bartram High School on Thursday night. Walker says rival groups of girls from different neighborhoods were involved in a conflict on Facebook before the shooting. At least 15 shots were fired from two handguns after the brawl started. Police say two men, ages 19 and 22, were in critical condition after being shot in the back. The girl was hit in the buttocks, treated and released. Was there an event invite for the rumble?
Beyonce became the most decorated female on a Grammy night as she collected six trophies, including song of the year for her anthem "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)," but it was another diva — Taylor Swift — who nabbed the top honor, album of the year, for her best-selling "Fearless." Swift, who won a total of four awards, jumped around like the 20-year-old kid that she is when she beat out Beyonce, the Dave Matthews Band, Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed Peas for the honor. Danny has become a big fan of Taylor Swift, he’d like to dirty her up. Danny didn’t mind Green Day performing with the cast of a musical. The Michael Jackson 3-D tribute was a little nauseating, but that’s because he didn’t’ have his 3-D glasses. It’s a little odd to give a lifetime achievement award for someone that was 50, but Danny’s lifetime achievement is going to be living until 70.
Amidst continuing reports of other singers being approached to front Aerosmith, Steven Tyler and his handlers are taking steps to reassert his position in the band. Tyler's Los Angeles-based attorney, Skip Miller, fired off a letter to Aerosmith manager Howard Kaufman last week, independently obtained by Billboard.com, requesting that Aerosmith's management "immediately cease and desist from engaging in acts and conduct to the harm and detriment of your own client, Aerosmith, and our client who is one of its members." What is the future of Aerosmith? A broken pelvis and 5 months to live for Steven Tyler.
Emmy award winning actor Rip Torn, who has had a recurring role in the NBC hit "30 Rock," has been arrested after police found him intoxicated and armed inside a Connecticut bank at the weekend. Torn, 78, was being held on $100,000 bond after state police responded to an alarm at the Litchfield Bank in Salisbury, the Connecticut town where the actor lives, and found him inside the closed bank "with a loaded revolver" and "highly intoxicated," according to a police report issued on Saturday. He was charged with burglary, criminal trespass and criminal mischief and weapons charges. Danny wants to get a free pass to get wasted enough to break into a bank from the bathroom next door.

West Chester East graduate Matt Schaub was the game's MVP. Every game matters to Danny, even the Pro Bowl. He wants to win.
Kurt Warner has called an end to one of the great storybook careers in NFL history. The 38-year-old quarterback announced his retirement from the game on Friday after a dozen years in a league that at first rejected him, then revered him as he came from nowhere to lead the lowly St. Louis Rams to two Super Bowls, winning the first of them.
Andre Iguodala scored 14 points, including seven in a key portion of the third quarter, leading the Philadelphia 76ers to an 83-79 victory over the New Jersey Nets on Sunday night. The victory snapped a three-game losing streak for Philadelphia, while the lowly Nets (4-42) kept pace with the 1972-73 Sixers for the worst record in NBA history.
As the world wonders where Tiger Woods really is, you can hit the lynx with a set of 12 Tiger Woods mistress golf balls. The website tailofthetiger.com is selling a set of 12 mistresses golf balls that the site says “are designed to lift the spirits of golfers around the world who are saddened by this loss on many levels.” Danny’s not a fan of golf at all, but he wouldn’t mind hitting a ball with the face of one of the bitches that sold him out. He would build an altar to Tiger is he makes it acceptable to cheat on your wife though.

Carl was transporting a bed when the bungee cords snapped and hit a car behind him. What’s his responsibility? If there’s no warning on the bungee cord packaging about freezing and breaking, then he could go after the bungee cord company. Carl is in trouble, but not big trouble.
Chris was diagnosed with narcolepsy a few months ago. He hasn’t fallen asleep while driving, but he’s groggy during the day because of the drugs he’s on. There are other options, including spacers in the teeth, Ritalin, and GHB. If Chris isn’t waking up in a ditch, then he could have highway hypnosis.
Sarah let her daughter get her nose pierced for her 15th birthday. Now she’s getting detentions and the dean of the school has said that he’s on the warpath to make an example of her to get her thrown out. The piercings are not permitted by the dress code, but there could be a loophole in the word ‘visible.’ She should be able to put a clear plug on the nose covered by a band aid. If the dean goes around ripping off band aids, then he won’t have a job for long. Altering someone’s appearance against their will is mutilation. What dean wants to be known for mutilation?
8:02 – Sarah was very excited to her boyfriend out a restaurant that Danny was raving about. It wasn’t the food, the service, or the price that ruined their night, but the woman that sat next to them. Her breath was so bad you could see it. How could anyone sitting with this woman, or the woman herself not know? It was the kind of dragon breath that everyone in the room could smell. It’s just not something Danny can work around. It’s a deal breaker. Another one for Danny is texting at the table. Metro is the guy that will go nuts with the phone at dinner, but he’s working on curbing that behavior. Sarah’s big into manners and doesn’t like it when people hold their forks like a shovel. Brady calls to say that his deal breaker is the Bronx Tale door lock test. Some newer cars don’t have the right locks for the test though with all the crazy buttons. Danny also isn’t fond of women that wear ‘Princess’ or ‘Bitch’ t-shirts or goofy gag shirts on guys. Another one is somebody who doesn’t look at the waiter or waitress while ordering.

Undeterred by a suspension of the U.S. military's evacuation flights from Haiti, a medical-aid group used a private plane to bring three gravely ill children to Philadelphia yesterday for potentially lifesaving treatment. A 5-year-old girl with tetanus, a 14-month-old boy with pneumonia, and a baby with third-degree burns caused by sun exposure after last month's earthquake were rushed to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia by three of the facility's critical-care transport teams waiting at Philadelphia International Airport. The baby was later transferred to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children.
Ten U.S. Baptists were being held in the Haitian capital Sunday after trying to take 33 children out of Haiti at a time of growing fears over possible child trafficking. The church members, most from Idaho, said they were trying to rescue abandoned and traumatized children. But officials said they lacked the proper documents when they were arrested Friday night in a bus along with earthquake survivors aged from 2 months to 12 years. The group said its "Haitian Orphan Rescue Mission" was an effort to help abandoned children by taking them to an orphanage across the border in the Dominican Republic. "In this chaos the government is in right now, we were just trying to do the right thing," the group's spokeswoman, Laura Silsby, told The Associated Press at the judicial police headquarters in the capital, where the Americans were being held pending a Monday hearing before a judge. No charges had been filed. In most cases the church guys didn’t have the proper paperwork, but try finding paperwork in Haiti these days. Danny thinks that these guys were giving the kids a better life against their will. However it is not cool to steal kids.
MTV's "Jersey Shore" will be back for a second season. The network's president of programming Tony DiSanto said Friday that 12 new episodes will air this summer. According to the network, Pauly D, Mike, Snooki, Jenni, Sammi, Ronnie and Vinny escape the cold northeast and find themselves in a new destination. The show about tanned twenty-somethings hasn't been without controversy. What’s the skankiest place they could go? Florida? Either it will be someplace full of rich people or full of meatheaded goons.
