It looks like it's about time for the executives at KYW-TV/CBS 3 to open up their wallets and settle with Alycia Lane. The details of yesterday's indictment of former KYW-TV/CBS 3 anchor Larry Mendte, (which you should read in full at Philly.com), show that Mendte's hacking into Lane's email was not a single incident or even a limited number of incidents.

The 24 page indictment contains 17 pages and lists over 500 instances when Mendte hacked into Lane's personal and work email accounts from January 1 - May, 28, 2008. The indictment further states that the hacking actually began back in 2006, but that no electronic record of those instances remains.

The key events within this time frame include the leak of Alycia Lane's emailing of photos to a former colleague in California and the leak of the details of Lane's plea arrangement with New York City prosecutors over the alleged incident involving the striking of a police officer. Read more...

The Philadelphia Eagles open training camp tomorrow. As seems to occur every year, there are a number of disgruntled players. The reason? Money. It's certainly not a problem unique to the Eagles, but it never fails to get under my skin.

This year the players making the headlines are Brian Westbrook and Leto Sheppard. Their situations are different, but both problems could be solved by new contracts. That solution would be wrong in both cases.

Westbrook is under contract for three more years. He is scheduled to make a base salary of $3 million this season plus a $1.5 million roster bonus, i.e. $1.5 million for "making" the team. His contract calls for him to make $3.5 million in 2009 and $4.5 million in 2010. That's not bad money from my perspective or from the perspective of almost every Eagles fan who struggles to buy a ticket to the game or to pay for cable to see it. Read more...
