Today is National Hug a Newsperson Day.
Why do I get the feeling there is not going to be a run on the newsroom to take part in this celebration.
Maybe if I disguised myself as a Villanova hoops player.
Funny thing about those Wildcats. They have sparked a debate across the region about whether they are actually 'Philly' or not. We are here to tell you the Villanova campus is located in Radnor Township, here in Delaware County.
But we are more than willing to share the wondrous accomplishments of a team that has now captured two national titles in the last three years.
The anti-Villanova feelings go a little deeper than that. There are those old, lingering feelings that see Villanova's fingerprints all over the knife that was stabbed in the back of the traditions of the Big 5.
There are those who are not especially enamored of the often well-to-do status of many Villanova students.
And there are those who simply have trouble equating the 'Cats Main Line zip code with a 'city' team.
Not us.
We salute Villanova.
More than that, coupled with the Eagles' recent Super Bowl win, and the emergency of the 76ers, who are the hottest team in the NBA heading into the playoffs, and what do you have.
City of Champions.
