When I heard the news that 22 NFL owners voted to ban the Tush Push — with no late game two-vote conversion to meet the required 24 — I smiled. Not because I particularly love the play, although it has taken much of the anxiety away from short-yardage situations, but because of what the failed effort to banish it says about Philadelphia. For the first time in living memory, people are jealous of us. Specifically, they are jealous of the Eagles.

For the third year in a row, Philadelphians await the commonwealth’s budget with bated breath. Will SEPTA, our local transit agency, get the funding it desperately needs this time around?

Americans are once again being subjected to a torrent of lies about our elections. These fabrications are more than just the desperate excuses of a potential loser and his enablers.

Growing up in Frankford, it often felt like my family lived on the border of two entirely different cities: Philadelphia and Northeast Philadelphia. Philadelphia, of course, was the home of most of the region’s history and culture. The Northeast was not. Movies and TV shows were occasionally set in our fair city, but they rarely ventured up Roosevelt Boulevard. Most city residents didn’t, either, unless they had work or family in the area. Getting to the Northeast is a hike.
