PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A.J. Brown had a novel ideal to pass time on the bench during Philadelphia's wild-card playoff game.

The Eagles wide receiver passed on the playbook and checked out an inspirational title — Brown casually ignored the action on the field and flipped through the pages of “Inner Excellence” by Jim Murphy.

Brown had time for some light reading with only one catch for 10 yards in a 22-10 win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night.

PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — The 2025 Philadelphia Auto Show starts Saturday, Jan. 11 and will be the largest since before the pandemic.

Mayor Parker drove across the bridge at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in a 2025 Subaru Forester, unofficially launching the annual auto show.

“It has now literally become part of the fabric of Philadelphia,” the mayor said.

It is a significant part of Philadelphia's history. The show, which began in 1902, is 123 years old. However, the 2025 edition is special because it marks a return to pre-pandemic attendance levels.

Philadelphia Auto Show Executive Director Kevin Mazzucola noted the show will see between 150,000 and 175,000 over the 10 day span.

Philadelphia Front Page News Top Story: Former NFL star Michael Vick accepts college football head coaching job: report forwarded by Fox News frontpagenews1@yahoo.com

 Michael Vick is reportedly going to be a college football head coach. 

 Vick ventured into coaching as an intern for the Chiefs in 2017.

The former star NFL quarterback will take over as head coach of Norfolk State's football program, according to The Virginian-Pilot.

Vick told the outlet Monday he was having conversations about potentially taking over the program. 

"I know how to lead, and I know what it takes," he told the newspaper. 

Vick had also been linked to another college head coach opening at Sacramento State, according to ESPN.

"He has expressed interest in the position, and, yes, I did meet with him about his interest in Sac State football and our athletic rise. As you can imagine, given the success of our athletic programs, our football head coach job is an attractive role," Sacramento State President Luke Wood said in a statement to ESPN.

The Sacramento Bee reported that Sacramento State officials said the reports of Vick being considered for the job are "premature at best."

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Hurts absorbed the shots when the Eagles' recent anemic passing attack was panned by his own star wide receivers. Hurts and A.J. Brown — one of those receivers who brought the complaints to a boil — then had their relationship dissected and thrown under the bus by a teammate, the type of locker room criticism that can unravel a franchise.

Or maybe, the touchy internal evaluation was exactly the kind of incentive Philadelphia needed to flex its superiority in a cross-state showdown with a playoff-bound opponent.

“Every opportunity to get better, you use,” coach Nick Sirianni said. “I’m not for one minute saying that all the turmoil on the outside was a good thing. We want to make sure that we’re locked into what we’re doing, and that’s what I felt like.”

McDonald's restaurant, where an employee alerted authorities to a customer who was found with a weapon and writings linking him to the the killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO, Monday, Dec. 9, 2024, in Altoona, Pa

NEW YORK (AP) — Police arrested a suspect Monday in the brazen Manhattan killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO after a quick-thinking McDonald’s employee in Pennsylvania alerted authorities to a customer who was found with a weapon, mask and writings linking him to the ambush.

The chance sighting at the restaurant in Altoona led to a dramatic break in a challenging but fast-moving investigation that had captivated the public in the five days since the shooting that shook the health insurance industry.

The suspect, identified by police as 26-year-old Luigi Nicholas Mangione, had a gun believed to be the one used in last Wednesday’s shooting of Brian Thompson, as well as writings suggesting anger with corporate America, police said.

Video posted on the social platform X showed him being led into the Blair County Courthouse for his first appearance. Mangione has been charged with weapons offenses, forgery and other offenses and will be extradited to New York to face charges in connection with Thompson’s death.

PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Bill Dengler of Collegeville has been volunteering on Thanksgiving Day at Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance, also known as MANNA, for more than 20 years.

He was one of about 200 volunteers who spent part of their Thanksgiving holiday preparing, packaging and delivering meals for the critically Ill.

His job this year was to bring meal bags to the vehicles of volunteer drivers so they can deliver the means to MANNA clients — some of whom are going through chemotherapy or radiation.

“It’s now a Thanksgiving tradition for our family and our neighbors, and a couple of other friends we come down here, the wives are at home making Thanksgiving dinner but the rest of us are down here trying to give back and help people.”

Sue Daugherty, MANNA CEO, says some of their clients are home alone, which is why they whip up and distribute enough food to feed four people — “so they can invite people in so they are not home alone.”
