Last night, as most of you know, the Philadelphia Eagles hosted the Dallas Cowboys in the season opener. Before the game even got underway, defensive standout Jalen Carter was ejected after he inexplicably spit on Dallas QB Dak "Here we go!" Prescott. Then, early in the third quarter, right after Dallas coughed up the ball and the Eagles looked like they were in a position to extend their lead, the game was suspended as a result of lightning in the area.
I had hoped to be able to watch the game and then watch and write about the NorCo Council meeting. But my report will have to wait until Monday. It looks very much as though the County Council and Executive races are in full swing as Council actually blocked a noncontroversial budget amendment. It also looks as though the animosity between Council and the Executive branch is at fever pitch. I'll tell you about it Monday.
Go Birds!

Our leaders are good people that is why they act like leaders look how government works they gave us Obama care -great program they gave us our schools that are doing so well, they let are officials become rich I wonder how? Our System of government give us all of this How lucky are we.
Eagles acting like Eagles in thug sportsball. Council fighting is good for taxpayers. When they get along, taxpayers get screwed. It was a good day, apparently.
NORCO council is almost as classy as the Eagles and their fans.
County Council is a disgrace. John Brown should immediately resign.
It's difficult to imagine two more reprehensible entities in American life than county government and professional sports. Cake and circuses.
Aren't you something? I can imagine lots more. Bottom-feeding bloggers, for one. Must be why I love following county government, Phillies, Eagles, high school basketball and professional cycling.
Eagles are big and physical but "Thug sportsball"? Please explain. It is a violent game but is also athleticism at a level well beyond what most people know. And most of the players on that team are very classy and very well spoken. Jalen Carter has had a lot of success because of his athletic prowess and like many people his age, he is still immature. But he is growing and has grown as an Eagle. He is probably more mature at his age than I or you were at his age but we did not have cameras following us.
Oh come on, Bernie at 9:38, give it w rest. Most kindergartners know that you don’t spit on people, so a grown man who has played football most of his life should know about sportsmanship and being a good competitor. He showed his true colors last night and I certainly won’t be cheering as loudly for him as I once did. Excusing behavior doesn’t help the league, which seems to have more behavioral problems than any other American sports group.
Still growing at age 24? FFS. Some of us had two college degrees, two children. a spouse, and a mortgage by age 24. Aim high, bottom feeder. Aim real high.
Agree with high school sports. It's the only sports worth watching. The rest stinks like a puddle of very expensive vomit.
He will pay financially for his moment and lapse of good judgement.
The social media detectives have noted that the Northampton County Controller seems to be out there doing a lot of campaigning during normal working hours, like attending events that appear to not be within the scope of duty for a county controller. Sustainable Energy Fund Conference (Friday 19 Aug.), Sheet Metal Workers for Kevin Dougherty (Philadelphia, 27 Aug.). Touring Meals on Wheels (Allentown, Lehigh County, 19 Aug.) Recording the debate with Giovanni appeared to be during the day as well. Sham.
Bernieohare to 1:43, some of the most immature people I know had two degrees, kids, mtg etc by age 24. That is not what makes you mature.
Bernie just on Jesse waters --- No wone with a penis will vote for a democrat what about you Bernie?
Bernie O’Hare to Tricia, do us all a favor. Go away.
If you don't already, you ought to consider following Penn State football. Go Lions!
Love to see my tax dollars at work like this! Ugh.
Penn State? Rhythmic slapping. Why is Iowa better? They only wave at the kids.
Since Tzara is not a CPA and has no accounting background, she has a full complement of personnel to do the county controller work for her, thus, she has plenty of time to campaign for county executive. 9:18 -- That isn't "...tax dollars at work", it's tax dollars being stolen. If she is campaigning during working hours and using the office as a front, she should be removed from office for dereliction of duty. Someone should investigate to see if she is writing off expenses like gasoline, food, and conference registrations under the elected public official umbrella while she is at those campaign events.
