E-mailed the Eagles PR staff yesterday and asked to speak with Jeffrey Lurie. I wanted to congratulate him on becoming a billionaire. Surprisingly, they declined to make him available. He won't talk to Mayor Nutter, either. It's so hard to get a billionaire on the phone when he owes you $8 million. Maybe the mayor will hold a news conference outside the NovaCare Complex like he did in front of Robert Gamburg's office. . . . The 101st Philadelphia Sportscard and Memorabilia Show will be held this weekend at the Valley Forge Convention Center in King of Prussia. Willie Mays, Frank Robinson and Jennie Finch are scheduled to attend. The event runs today (5 p.m. to 9 p.m.), tomorrow (9 a.m. to 5p.m.) and Sunday (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.). I don't think Keith Olbermann will be there. . . .Here's what Adam Eaton told MLB.com about his time in Philly: "A lot of things went wrong, but a lot of things went right, too. I helped them get to the playoffs two years in a row, and obviously we won the World Series last year." Love revisionist history.
