Leftovers: Snitchin' Ain't Bitchin'

• Ex-Rick Mariano lawyer Nino Tinari is now a consultant with Philip Chartock's defense team, who are now saying Mariano was simply a thief and not someone who could have been bribed. There are so many stories that you just can't make up today. It's been too much. [Inky]

• Despite all this, here's the headline of the day: "NFL Great's Relative Admits Having Sex With Student." Yes, and it's George Halas' great-nephew. That's a bit of a stretch. [NBC 10]

• How do you publicize next month's Phillymag issue? Why, you publish the article about Donald Trump online, because what we really need is to read more about him! The kicker, though: The article's effing detailed, well-sourced and actually just tremendously interesting. One of the better things I've read in a while. Yes, I know. Black is white, and down is up. I can't figure out what the hell's going on, either. [Phillymag]

• Ex-MTV jock Chris Booker is headed to Q102, and the straight ladies and the gay men scream. Meanwhile, everyone else is like, "Holy shit! Q102 still exists?" [Inky]

• This story has everything: A ridiculous interpretation of spelling bee rules, a lot of angry parents, a lot of angry parent backlash and a newspaper editor accusing another newspaper of doing hack jobs on the spelling bee his paper sponsored. It's the scandal of the century in the Lehigh Valley! [A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago]

• A woman in Bucks County has topped that whole newsstand stealing thing: She stole a whole house. She didn't get a crane to pick it up or anything, though -- check fraud is not nearly as cool. [AP/Inky]
