WIP hosts wrote the book on Philly sports fans   A wonderful gift for the sports fan in your family is "The Great Philadelphia Fan Book" written by WIP 610-AM hosts Glen Macnow and Anthony L. Gargano. The authors, who were print journalists before joining WIP, put together a breezy, fun book about the Philadelphia sports scene that can be finished in the time it takes to watch a game. Some of my favorite chapters were about the lovable 1993 Phillies, who really weren't lovable; "Guys We Loved to Hate" about players who didn't click here; "Voices We've Loved" about Harry Kalas and Gene Hart; "The Uniforms They Wore," which lists the best players for each number from 0-99; "The Guy in France" about villainous Eagles owner Norman Braman; "Our Ten Most Embarrassing Moments"; "Charles, Randall, and Eric: Trinity of Our Disappointment"; and "The Vet." To use an old sports cliche, "The Great Philadelphia Fan Book" scores. Stars come out A cable-ready crowd at Buddakan got to meet HBO stars who were on hand for the launch of "HBO on Demand" on Comcast. A.J. Feeley and Heather Mitts, Jimmy Rollins of the Phillies, Freddie Mitchell and Jermaine Mayberry of the Eagles, Eagles announcer Mike Quick, former Phillie Greg Luzinski, Derrick Coleman and Todd MacCulloch of the Sixers, and sportscasters Howard Eskin of WCAU and WIP, Michael Barkann of CSN, Lou Tilley of CN8 and Garry Cobb of KYW attended the soiree that featured HBO stars Lorraine Bracco of "The Sopranos," Cynthia Nixon of "Sex and the City," and Michael C. Hall of "Six Feet Under." Mr. Versatility Phillies radio pre- and post-game host Tom McCarthy is now one sport away from the "Broadcasters Cycle." McCarthy, who already does baseball for the Phillies and football for Rutgers, is the new play-by-play announcer for Saint Joseph's men's basketball. McCarthy co-hosts the afternoon drive show on ESPN Radio on 920-AM. Cold Pizza, anyone? ESPN Networks are "rushing" to make viewers forget about Rush Limbaugh with their latest attempt of mixing sports and entertainment, "Cold Pizza," debuting Monday at 7 a.m. on ESPN2. Former Sixer Darryl Dawkins will appear every Tuesday with "A Visit From Lovetron." And expert contributors on relationships, music, television, technology, fitness and more will be the ingredients of "Cold Pizza." Don't look back "The Philly Guys," featuring former WIP 610-AM personalities Mike Missanelli and Joe Conklin, is finding a male audience in the morning. In the Arbitron ratings released this week, it had a 4.2 share (No. 6 ranking) of the audience of men 25-54. WIP had a 6.1 share (No. 4 ranking). "The Philly Guys" is doing well with younger guys, beating WIP in the men's 18-34 and 25-34 groups. Popular guest High school basketball promoter Jeremy Treatman (www.scholasticpbpnetwork.com) has been getting the full-court press from the national cable networks to speak about the Kobe Bryant case.
