Cholly’s Late Mother Keys Phils’ Win

When local sports teams win, the local television just gets absolutely awesome. Here’s Action News sports anchor Gary Papa after the game last night, informing the fans about all the things they had seen this year, including the death of Charlie Manuel’s mother.

More from last night’s coverage coming later today or over the weekend; there were simply some incredible moments. Only the Good Day Philadelphia anchors dancing with mascots on Monday (hint, hint, guys!) could top it.

Gary Papa’s Emotional Moment

Hey, so here’s Action News‘ Gary Papa on the 6 o’clock news last night, getting emotional after Eagles coach Andy Reid visits CHOP. Aww, Gary! After the commercial break, though, Jim Gardner makes it all better by joking that Gary was just upset because someone repossessed his car.

Also notable is Reid’s comment to the media on the kids at Children’s Hospital of Phialdelphia: “They’re fired up and ready to go.” He can’t even stop using sports clichés during off hours! I can only imagine he followed that up with, “They really gave it 110 percent, took it one game at a time. Injuries: Well, this one kid has leukemia, another has cancer–clears throat–time’s yours.”
