PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — It was supposed to be over by now. Sports fans across the Delaware Valley were making their plans for Eagles training camp to begin next week, and ready to get sucked up into the gigantic NFL vortex that dominates the national sports landscape from July to February.

Entering this weekend at Pittsburgh, the Phillies are 50-47, 7.
