Weekend Extras: Enemy Territory, Lesser Brothers, Terrell Owens Blogging, and Nomar in Red Pinstripes?

As we gear up for the second round of the playoffs and a trip to the Wach to see the Flyers host the Maple Leafs, some extras for your Saturday...

• 
  Just as Rocco Baldelli is slipping into Nomar Garciaparra's old #5 Red Sox jersey,
  there's talk that Mia's husband could be signed as the Phillies
  righthanded bench bat for 2009. Jim Salisbury says a team source confirmed their interest.
  There's also a decent chance Nomah will retire. If not, the Phils could
  do a lot worse than a two-time former batting champion, even if he did hit sub-.270 last season. But, with that batting glove velcro routine, games in which Nomar gets a spot start and Jamie's on the mound could break some time-between-pitches records.
• With the advent of the Eagles-Giants game came a few invitations to give Philly perspectives on the Eagles for some New York outfits. Enrico did a Q&A with Dan Benton of MSG's Game On, and I visited with the folks at the New York Times' "The Fifth Down" blog.
• Terrell Owens has joined his buddy D-Mac as a YardBarker blogger. We're hoping they'll cover each other's weekends and do Q&A's before Cowboys-Eagles games, but for now, we'll settle for TO briefly letting Cris Carter know he's not happy with what Carter's "Put a bullet in him" remarks. Alien territory here, but I'm gonna need to agree with Owens.

• After the Phillies' signing of Marcus Giles to a minor league deal, Carson at WSBGMs put together a people's history of the Phils' tendency to acquire the lesser of two brothers. Rick Surhoff FTW.
• Rather than possibly be suspended, Charles Barkley is taking a leave of absence from TNT's Inside the NBA after his DUI in December. The Free Sir Charles shirts should be ready soon.
• Urinal humor is all the rage in NHL arenas these days. Danny Peeiere? That's cute. Fortunately for the janitorial staff at the Wachovia Center, we haven't heard any reports of such activities in Philly, and don't look at us to start them. We stopped playing with our byproducts when we were 19, we're not so sure taking pictures in the men's room is ever a good idea. Otherwise, I'd have snapped a shot of that "You have to be unbreakable..." ad with a picture of Simon Gagne that was up all last season while Gags was out with concussions. It's still there actually.

  I'll be staring at it again later tonight.
