Looks like I made the news this time around.

On February 1, I'll be presenting Dickie Noles--the former Phillie--with the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association's Humanitarian of the Year Award.

The Center City weekly Press wrote a short blurb about it. To read it click here and turn to page 5.

Noles, who struggled with alcoholism in the past during his pitching career now travels through the minor leagues teaching young players about the dangers of addiction.

The presentation will happen at the Philly Sports Writers Assoc Awards Dinner at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. To learn more, visit PSWADinner.com.

Happy Birthday, Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins


Last Friday was Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins' birthday. The ol' pug turned 45 and he's still dominating the boxing ring, taking on guys half his age.

I wrote a quick piece about the first time I met Hopkins. It appeared on the Philly Boxing Examiner site. To read it, click here.
