“I Am Philadelphia”: Allen Iverson Reflects on his Career with the Philadelphia 76ers (Video)
March 2, 2014
Last night the Philadelphia 76ers retired future hall of famer Allen Iverson’s jersey number & it was a special night in the city. It was clear that A.I. embraced Philly just as much as we embraced him. Allen Iverson was a high profile athlete who repped my hometown, but he was the personification of what being from Philadelphia was all about. Tough, hardworking, blue collar, & fearless.

Meek Mill – Bike Life Philly (Video)
April 26, 2012
I have to admit I do get a rush looking at fearless motorbike videos as cats rip through my hometown of Philly. In a way it takes me back there in a nostalgic sort of way just seeing the old neighborhoods & it just reminds me of the summertime when cats would rip down the blocks. Meek Mill does have a lot going for him with Rick Ross’s Maybach Music Group but he may need to ease up on riding on these bikes too often. The state of Pennsylvania doesn’t have a helmet law so you don’t have to wear one without getting cited or locked up, but young kids racing through Philly on bikes is becoming a problem because of the rise in fatal injuries. Ironically, from the above clip, Meek Mill almost became one of those statistics. Brothas are taking “L’s” everyday in Philly & Meek has great things going for him so he may need to just chill a little. Slow down Meek Milly….

Legendary Boxing Champion Joe Frazier Dies Of Liver Cancer In Philadelphia
November 8, 2011
As a North Philly native I can tell you that there was no way anyone wouldn’t be proud of the accomplishments & community service that Smokin Joe Frazier had done over the years. I remember visiting his gym a few times as a kid on North Broad street which was several blocks from my grandmothers home. Because of Joe Frazier’s success & visibility in the community he inspired generations of brothers from Philly beyond boxing. I’ve been fortunate enough to have met Joe Frazier several times over the years & unlike most celebrities like him, Joe was actively involved in community & was very visible from what I remember when I still lived in Philly. While the Philadelphia Eagles were closing out their Monday Night Football game with a loss to Chicago, sports fans in Philadelphia & the world were just getting word that one of the greatest boxers in history had died of liver cancer. It goes without saying that it was truly a sad evening in Philadelphia last night…. Rest in Peace Smokin’ Joe Frazier.
