So I survived my first Wing Bowl!  Wing Bowl 18. Now before I even begin this blog, I want to offer a disclaimer!  I want to apologize to my feminist friends that think events like this exploit women,  I want to apologize to my healthy friends that think eating for sport is offensive, and while […]

I have worked at WPHL just under two years.  I came to the station for two reasons.  First; a station GM with a great vision and an even greater sales pitch and second; the chance to be a part of a station that I grew up with.  Channel 17 as it was commonly known in […]

This one goes out to AY, JD, GO, BS, GW, KK, and most of all TM.  Just off the top of my head- those are some folks in my own career that came to mind.  I am sure I am forgetting some, because all too often, that’s what we do.  Life goes on, we feel […]

So my first World Series game at Citizens Bank Park was a loss. Still that does not detract, at all, from the excitement of being a part of the media for a World Series game. I was so happy when I took that shot of Jeter, above, because it seemed to […]

No rooting in the Press Box.  I learned that rule in Journalism 101.  Luckily as I sit behind the Press Box at my first ever NLCS baseball game in my home town, Philadelphia, the Phillies make it very easy to keep that rule.  This game was never in doubt.  As I sit in my new […]

So I can finally cross LEBOWSKI FEST off my want list of things to do.  This year the festival finally came to my home town, Philadelphia, and I got to go.  In the simplest words I can use, if you are a “fan” of this movie, or a “kinda fan” of this movie make sure […]

Broadway Theater Pitman, NJ. An Evening of Hope could not been more aptly named.  The one-night-only film venue featured Rowan student films dedicated to drug addiction and recovery.  The films ran the gamut, but collectively were sad, desperate, alarming, disturbing, funny, eye-opening, heart-wrenching, and educational.  The thread that wove the five films together, however, was […]

So it turns out I am not the only one at my station that blogs.  Two of my favorite people in my little slice of Philadelphia TVland also have blogs.  Perhaps other folks do as well, but these are two that I know about and I wanted to link to them.  Better Philly host Joey […]

When my boss emailed to ask me if I was available for the Police Athletic Leagues Media Softball Game at Citizens Bank Park before the August 5 Phillies game, for a fleeting second?  I thought she wanted me to play!?  ACTUALLY what she wanted was for me and the rest of  WPHL Creative Services to […]

The best WPHL promo I ever was asked to participate in is currently, NOT RUNNING. Why would we shelve this promotional Phillies gold? Because Raul Ibanez is on the Disabled List. For you ladies on the blog, that means he can’t play. He’s on what is called the 15-Day DL because he pulled his groin. […]

Philly-New York–TWO TOWNS, seperated by–ehhhh– you know the rest!  Turns out that the promo WPHLl’s Chris Schaefer had me voice is going to get a second life as the Phils play the Mets again!  So, tune in and see it all over again!  (I will post times here as I get them!)
Many of you have commented that I am […]

So I got to go and cover the fledgling Philadelphia Passion Lingerie Football Team Tryouts. “Cover” in my world means to make photo galleries of the day and arrange them is such a way that creates internet traffic. That is what Web Producers do. They make web decisions about content that they think will “move […]

When I starred in UBER PHILLIES FAN 5 second promo, I really thought that was top of the pretend tv mountain for me.  It greatly surpassed my efforts in Man Walking Poorly,  my torso spot and my hands spot.  I was more then ready and able to fade into the sunset.
Then the unimaginable happened.  ACTUAL […]

In a spot eerily similar to My torso spot,  I now bring to you the latest effort in my pretend TV career…
MAN WALKING POORLY!
 

In the first few seconds of this Better Philly spot, you see me walking funny to set up the on-air peice about better posture.  The spot was produced by Better Philly Producer, […]

Worlds collided yesterday.  I have been on such a great Phillies high the last few weeks.  But working for a station that covers the Phillies, I learned early on that Phillies now equal work.  The fan I used to be died weeks before Harry did, if not months.  Yesterday the two were re-aquainted in the worst ways […]
