- The Phillies finally made their big move of the offseason last night, in the alternate universe where this fake Chris Cotillo from SB Nation Twitter account is the real Chris Cotillo.

WAT "@ChrisCotiIlo: #Phillies and #Athletics agree to swap OFs Yoenis Cespedes for Domonic Brown."

- In our universe, this is the fake one, though, making this tweet the next sick, fake entry into the modern art of pretending to be a moderately well known sports writer and getting a bunch of strangers to believe your lies for a second. The real Cotillo did have some choice insight on a deal that actually went down.

- There were all kinds of moves the Phillies didn't make yesterday - the Nationals got Doug Fister, Jacoby Ellsbury went to the Yankees, Justin Morneau got a deal with the Rockies, and now the Mets are talking to Curtis Granderson. By the close of business today, all players are predicted to have switched teams, as unnatural as it seems.

- Penn State is trying to make the subtle majesty of Christmas lights all about Penn State.

- So the Atlantic Division is terrible.

The Philadelphia 76ers are 7-12 and a 1/2 game behind Boston for the Atlantic Division lead.

- Hey now - it's the middle of the week and Aaron Rodgers has not yet been ruled out for Sunday.

- Cary Williams had a special message for Bruce Arians, the Cardinals coach who patronized Chip Kelly's offense prior to the Eagles' win over Arizona on Sunday.
