1/3 Saquon Barkley had the longest avg. rushing touchdown in the #NFL, by far. You’ll never guess who had the shortest. Just kidding, obv. Jalen Hurts. (Min. 10) #Eagles Barkley had as many rush TDs over 60 yards than under 10 (4), 13 total. Hurts had 14 total, 11 for 1 yard

Great analysis about the new MLB playoff format and the tough road ahead for the Phillies. "[J]ust to get to the NLCS, the Phillies would have to survive a stretch of 16 road games in 17 days between Sept. 26 and Oct. 12." Subscribers only and worth it. inquirer.com/phillies/zack-w…

Phillies need a healthy Zack Wheeler to contend with MLB’s extra wild postseason schedule

Baseball's new playoff format rewards a team's starting pitching depth. In order to contend, the Phillies need Wheeler in their rotation.

Haven't verified, looks accurate. Assuming no ties and all 32 outcomes equally likely, the Eagles have a: * 63% chance first round against Bucs (75% if Birds win, %50 if lose) * 6% chance of playing the Cowboys (same chance of DAL getting #2 seed) * 31% play NFC West champ

Speculators are buying tickets in hopes of flipping them for a profit. My investigation with @juliana_f_reyes went live today, with tips on how to avoid resellers when possible. Hat tip to @reveal and @ByardDuncan for their great Ticket Trap episode. inquirer.com/news/tickets-ph…

Buying tickets to a Philly show? Search carefully.

As consumers flock to live events after more than a year of pandemic-related shutdowns, they could fall into the trap of paying more for tickets on resale sites -even for events that are not sold out.

Quick calculus review: this graph shows the rate of change in COVID-19 cases, now higher since last April. Cases are rising when the line is above zero, falling when below. The line crossing zero from + to - represents peaks in cases.
There is now a 2:1 difference in the vaccination rate of the top 6 counties in Pennsylvania compared to the bottom 3. datawrapper.de/_/e2RA9/

Pa. Counties Have a Wide Range in Vaccinations | Created with Datawrapper

The six counties that have administered the most vaccinations, including Chester and Montgomery, have inoculated more than twice the percentage of eligible residents as the bottom three counties....

“We have a system that looks broken to people." PA's expanding who's eligible & its distribution pace is better than most. But public frustration remains. @erinK_mccarthy & I talked to 50 people about the state's communication and the public's perception: inquirer.com/news/pennsylvan…

Pa. is finally expanding vaccine eligibility. But perceptions of a rocky rollout linger.

Miscommunication and mixed messages from the people charged with overseeing the distribution have prompted widespread frustration. “We have a system that looks broken to people," said one lawmaker.

I looked through the data on businesses that got paycheck protection dollars, and found that 19 groups registered to lobby the PA govt received millions. Firms that primarily lobby aren’t supposed to get PPP money. But it turns out, there’s a big caveat. whyy.org/articles/millions-o…

Nineteen groups registered to lobby in Pa. received millions of PPP dollars

PPP money isn’t supposed to go to businesses primarily engaged in lobbying. Pa. lobbyists who received the money say it’s only part of their business.

If Philly gave you a property for $1 would you... A. Not pay the taxes B. Let it fill with trash and weeds C All of the above We found too many owners of these properties aren’t doing their fair share to return the city’s favor. w/@InqCVargas @enactdev inquirer.com/news/philadelph…

Philly gave away 2,300 properties for $1 each. Now it is owed nearly $900,000 in back taxes.

As Philadelphia’s population shrunk and property values declined, the city gave away houses and lots for $1. Today, hundreds of thousands in taxes are overdue.

Philly is so small... Out of all the streets and blocks in this city, somehow one tiny block has become a focus of TWO unrelated I-team stories. One by me @dylancpurcell @enactdev and the other by @CraigRMcCoy @jacobadelman

Proud of the work I did with @samanthamelamed and @dylancpurcell on the fifth installment of The Probation Trap. Photos by @jessicagriffin, and @sgpotts crafted an incredible page layout. inquirer.com/news/inq/probat…

How probation detainers can keep people locked up indefinitely — even when they haven’t committed a...

Pennsylvania has failed to set rules on detainers. The result is a coercive system that keeps people accused even of minor violations jailed and ensures most plead guilty.
