Correction: An earlier version of this article declared Valerie Navarro the winner of the Big Bang championship. The winner was actually Ginelle Ophelia. City Paper regrets the error.

| Glassman with Damon Feldman |
We love Damon Feldman.
Sure, he promotes some wack matches at the airport Ramada and gets guys like Jose Canseco and Danny Bonaduce into the ring. And yes, he convinced respected members of the local boxing scene to be in on his Celebrity Boxing Federation — even its female division's Big Bang event (during Celebrity Boxing 15 on Dec. 18) which was fascinating for its big burly guys watching over gals wearing tiny lingerie panties with the words "Smack That" on âem.
But Feldman has heart and he has guts. And he knows how to fill a room with folk who crave this level of entertainment. And entertaining it is. I've asked people, in the name of God and art, to do some bizarre things. But I've never asked women to wear gi-hugic boxing gloves and slug it out, like Feldman's CBF femme division championship did — all with guest referee Hailey Glassman in her Ed Hardy best ringside.
Anyone keeping tabs (and you can just check Icepack Dec 24 for a primer) she's the woman that Jon Gosselin was keeping company with until recently when he tried to reunite with his wife (now TOTALLY divorced) and Glassman has gone on record (WHAT RECORD) calling Jon a stalker. Then again, depending on what tabs you keep and what gossip rags and blogs you sneak peaks at, Glassman and Gosselin either still live together. Or they don't. Or she's rumored to have a male admirer in Feldman himself who may have been caught in an embrace with Glassman which supposedly got Gosselin mad — maybe mad enough to shoot off guns at his Pennsylvania homestead or call her at the Ramada Inn. See how it works?
This is what Feldman feeds into — the enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in bacon.
Anyway, girls fought with big gloves on. Glassman got into a tussle with one of the boxing gals — the singularly named "Cassie" — hit the mat with the two fighters then called the boxer out for a future match. (Yes... you heard the crowd going "Ooooooh, catfight"). And by the end of it all a girl named Valerie Navarro Ginelle Ophelia wore the big gloves proudly to become the Big Bang female division's first champeeeeeeeeeeeeen. Rocky Marciano might not be smiling up in the heavens, but you gotta start somewhere.
More pics after the jump.
it was hanna that hailey called out not cassie! hailey had a serious attitude problem- most likely envy toward hanna
hey hey let me correct ALOT OF THIS! I fought against Hannah Pearce who was called out by Hailey. I didnt win the belt Ginelle Ophelia who is my best friend and proud owner of the mentioned smack that panties won all 3 rounds taking home title. Thanks
Please give the complete story, my fav though was hailey glassman
shut the fuck upppp

[...] is now dating a boxing promoter, Damon Feldman, who she met while she was refereeing female boxing matches. (Hereâs a link to photos of the two of them together.) The guy is quoted [...]
Department of Didn't See That Coming: The Phils, as per Sports Illustrated, appear to be in the process of a deal which would bring Toronto ace Roy Halladay to the Phils (which has been long and widely speculated) and possibly send Cliff Lee to Seattle (which would the shocker/bummer here). The rumored deal would also include Halladay signing a contract extension, which would take some of the sting out of losing Lee.
Thoughts?
Social comments and analytics for this post... This post was mentioned on Twitter by citypaper: Phils dropping Cliff to pick up Doc? http://tr.im/cliff_doc...
JD: I haven't seen a final prospect list, which will be important when determining the overall goodness of this "deal," but Lee seems unwilling to sign a long-term contract without testing free agency, and honestly, if you had a choice between signing Lee long term or Halladay long term, based on their age and track record, who would you choose? What is your basis for the statement "[Lee]'ll help Hamels get back on track a lot more than Halladay will"? The profound positive influence Lee had on Fausto Carmona? I believe "getting Cole Hamels back on track" will be more a function of Rich Dubee + better off-season conditioning + reversal of some of his bad luck from the 2009 campaign.
Talk about short-term memory. Lee was the only Phils starter to really show up in the postseason. And in addition to losing Lee have you seen the prospects the Phils are giving up? Smart move would be to re-sign Lee because 1) he's good and 2) he'll help Hamels get back on track a lot more than Halliday will. Go Cardinals!
Received a letter to the editor (which you can read in its entirety after the jump) from Darco Lalevic of the Pennsylvania Cycling Association about the recent uproar over driving and cycling and walking in the city.
Among his very interesting points:
- "Enforcement will not fix things" — he cites the 270,929 tickets issued to motorists in 2008 as proof that enforcement doesn't alter behavior.
- More cyclists following the law — taking a full lane when entitled to, for example — would snarl traffic and thus "motorist aggravation and incidents of road rage would increase."
- Cyclists are killed by cars much more frequently than pedestrians are killed by cyclists.
He builds the idea, brought up in a 2008 article in The Atlantic, that essentially there are too many rules and regulations on streets and roads in the United States and that more rules, perhaps paradoxically, lead to more accidents.
The city needs to embrace newer thinking on urban traffic engineering going forward. There are more ideas other than just converting a car lane to a bike lane. In fact there is ample evidence that our tendency to add more rules and more signs increases our risk.
It reminded me of a trip I took to Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2004 and the shock and general amazement I felt at the way traffic seemed to move effortlessly despite there being no traffic signals at all. As you can see in the video (not mine) above, the motorbike-preponderant traffic weaved in and out at intersections, darting and bending, behaving more like schools of fish than the vector-based traffic stateside. This piece on the blog Cafe Hayek gets more into this trend of minimizing traffic laws rather than making them ever more complicated to deal with each new issue.
Could this work in Philadelphia? Or would the chaos be catastrophic?

Message:
In all the media attention to City Council's efforts to crack down on cyclists, the resulting uproar over criminal cyclists, and cyclist's protesting their rights, none of the loud voices has addressed the practical issues involved. Stu Bykosfky pointed out that while cyclists gripe about dangerous motorists, in fact 270,929 tickets were issued to motorists in 2008, but only 14 to bicyclists. Clearly, enforcement of traffic rules for bicycles is necessary. However, what no one points out is that enforcement will not fix things (look at the number of tickets issued to motorists). Certainly the additional revenue for the city would be miniscule, and enforcement clearly does not change behavior. And while I wholeheartedly support enforcement of bicycle laws, does the general public know what would happen if all cyclists obeyed the law? More cyclists would take entire lanes of traffic where there are no bike lanes. They would stop at more lights and stop signs, delaying and slowing other vehicular traffic. Motorist aggravation and incidents of road rage would increase. Cyclists, who are already far more likely to be killed in a traffic accident, would be at even greater risk, for both accidents and intentional assaults. Motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians all regularly break traffic rules in this city, but it's the motorists who wield greater risk of death and injury.
The incidents which precipitated City Council's action are the issue. Cyclists killed by cars are the issue. Two pedestrians were killed in collisions with cyclists. Regardless of fault or negligence on either side (from what I have read, in one case the cyclist was riding illegally, in the other, the pedestrian was crossing illegally), and notwithstanding the personal tragedy for the families involved, death by bicycle is a rarity. In 2008, there were 92 traffic fatalities involving motor vehicles. 38 of those were pedestrians. Unfortunately, the city does not accurately track cyclists deaths, so I have been unable to tell if the approximately 22 cyclists killed are included in that number. Considering the overwhelming ratio of cars to bicycles, the higher risk of fatalities among cyclists is an issue.
The first step in addressing this is for the city and the police department to treat and respect bicycles as the vehicles they are. Enforce traffic laws, but treat bicycles as vehicles. Enforce laws on aggressive driving and prosecute road rage incidents. Many city cyclists have tales of being assaulted by vehicles, yet rarely is anything done when these are reported.
The city needs to embrace newer thinking on urban traffic engineering going forward. There are more ideas other than just converting a car lane to a bike lane. In fact there is ample evidence that our tendency to add more rules and more signs increases our risk. Last year, the Atlantic published a little recognized article on the very subject (http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200807/traffic).
I love my city, but it frustrates me when every debate comes down to calling cyclists "morally superior", calling drivers "reckless and stupid", and saying "sharing the road equally is insane". Let's stop bashing each other and do something positive.

Larry: I don't think it's apples and oranges. Most of the vehicles in that video are not bikes but motorbikes. So, yes, it is a little different, but maybe more like grapefruit and oranges. I think you might Americans by saying it couldn't* work here; I think it would take a MASSIVE education campaign and a lot of studies to make it work — and maybe it'd be too much work for it to be worthwhile, or perhaps the growing pains would dwarf the eventual benefits. Ron, I think the big difference between traffic here and traffic in other parts of the world is that there's more of a sense of responsibility for one's actions elsewhere. Maybe it's the preponderance of traffic signals here, but whereas in, say, Hanoi you'd approach every intersection alert and ready to maneuver through traffic, I think in the U.S. the attitude is "I've got the green, so I'm going and I'm not gonna look and if I get in an accident, let the lawyers will sort it out."
*might underestimate
After a week in Hanoi I finally understood the concept of crossing the street here, and having the balls to do it. Just walk across the intersection at a steady pace. Jump right in the fire. Traffic is heavy with motorbikes, cars, and bicycles but they will either stop or go around you. Very different here in the states. Try just walking into oncoming traffic in Philly like you would in Hanoi and you would wake up in a hospital missing limbs and multiple ribs tickling your lungs.
i cant wait to see a handsome lady trying to put her huffy back together. enjoy!
i encourage every vandal to find Bridget S's shanty hut and spraypaint pictures of cars running over bicycles etc etc........Sign it with the tag "courtesy." Then and only then will the american dream reach fruition.
i cant wait to bike home tonight and take up the entire lane. enjoy!
i encourage every cyclist in Philadelphia to take up the entire lane, stop for 3 seconds at every stop sign, etc etc...........we'll see how long it takes before the motorists are whining and complaining about it.... we ride to the side of the lane as a COURTESY, and have every right to take up the entire lane. i'd love to see the reaction, if i didnt think motorists in this city were crazy enough to run me down with their car (they almost do everyday as it is, when i ride hugging the curb). 2 pedestrians killed is, again, NOTHING near the number of cyclists killed every year. there needs to be more consequences to motorists... or some education that we are, in fact, allowed to bike in the road, something that none of the drivers seem to be aware of...
I'm an avid cyclist, and I agree with some of what he says, but I also understand basic statistics and I have state an exception to this point "Cyclists are killed by cars much more frequently than pedestrians are killed by cyclists." You can't make a valid comparison of these statistics so easily. Cars and cyclists have more opportunity to interact negatively, than do cyclists and pedestrians. It has to do with the frequency that each vehicle type occurs on the roads. I'd drop that 'point' as stated.
Apples and oranges. You have a video of a place where bikes are the main mode of transit and a culture that, to some degree, is pretty different than our own. People in country aren't on the same level as those in Vietnam, and the idea of eliminating traffic lights wouldn't work here. Do we need LESS laws and regulation? Across the board, yes we do. But we also need to enforce laws we already have instead of constantly making new ones to do the same thing. Cars need to share the road, cyclists need to follow the law and stay of the sidewalks, and pedestrians need to be kind and courteous to all. It's just that simple.
Want to do something positive, Darco? Get your brethren off the sidewalks.
[...] that can hit them hard enough to hurt including cars, cyclists, and joggers (other pedestrians). Readers Write: We donât need your stinking traffic rules And apparently everybody hates the traffic [...]
I live in Los Angeles and ride an average of 150 miles/week with a local club. It is a very challenging environment as some motorists view cyclists as another delay in their already awful commute. There are a few nuts out there but most drivers are well meaning if you ride smart. 1. Be visible (don't ride in the middle of the road and don't ride in the ditch. 3' from the white line works). 2. Communicate. 3. Be predictable. 4. Keep the middle finger in your pocket. 5. Ride in groups when possible. If you are experienced then none of this is new but with all the new riders out there we need to keep beating the drum.
According to the Inky's Kate Fagan, prodigal son Allen Iverson has been practicing with the starting lineup and is expected to start this evening against the Nuggets.
AI admits that he's not in the shape he wants to be in yet and that his first appearance is "probably more for the fans than anything else," though, as our own E. James Beale pointed out in this week's Sports Complex, the fans are pretty much what this whole AI redux endeavor is all about in the first place.
Given that — thanks to the injuries already sustained by Marreese Speights and Lou Williams — the Sixers are essentially already playing for next year, bringing the circus into town for three quarters of a season hardly seems like a bad move if it helps sell some peanuts.
But will No. 3 cry when he's announced, when he takes the ball up the floor for the first time, or will he save it for the post game presser?
I'm shocked, even though, you know, John Buccigross personally told me this would happen.
The Daily News broke the story. They also say this: No official word on a successor but indications are that assistant Craig Berube will take over on an interim basis. Everybody fights!
C'mon Flyers! Ship Boucher to Tampa Bay in exchange for Rick Tocchet. Tocchet and Berube behind the bench would be awesome! I'm thinking Slap Shot Paul Newman as player-coach awesome. Unstoppable.
UPDATE: It's a done deal. Polanco is again a Phil.
A blog on MLive.com, a Michigan news site, is reporting what Philly outlets are only suggesting: Placido Polanco has reportedly agreed to a three-year, $18 million dollar deal to become the Phillies' new third baseman.
The deal, which SI's Jon Heyman says will be finalized today, would make Polanco, the once and future(?) Phillie a very cheap option as a starter or a somewhat expensive reserve.
Polanco, an excellent defender, had some excellent offensive seasons for the Tigers but has seen his value fluctuate, at least at the plate, in recent seasons. However, Polanco, on average, is good for about 50 points of on base percentage over Pedro Feliz with an ever so slight drop-off in power. Maybe the biggest advantage Polanco brings over Feliz is that Polanco, unlike Feliz during the second half of 2009 especially, is a tough out. Like Feliz, he doesn't walk a lot, but he strikes out a whole lot less. Polanco's never struck out more than 42 times in a full season while Feliz tends to strike out quite a bit more often. Polanco tends to see more pitches than Feliz, if only by a little, though Polanco's got a rep for having good at bats while Feliz has been known to go through long stretches where he looks completely lost.
Is Polanco, at just $6 million per year, the answer, or is this a prelude to a bigger signing at 3b?
The rumor mill is churning, people, and the word is that the recently retired Allen Iverson, the patron saint of good practice habits, could be coming back to Philly.
As Phil Sheridan astutely and pointedly explains in today's Inquirer, bringing back Iverson is essentially a white flag for a franchise that, just 18 months ago appeared destined for unbridled greatness after stealing Elton Brand from the Clippers and inking him to a blockbuster 5-year deal.
Quoth Phil:
This is a player the rest of the NBA has decided isn't worth the considerable trouble. Iverson - ahem - "retired" last week in a contrived attempt to attract attention to himself. After burning through the patience of franchises in Denver, Detroit, and Memphis, he would be attractive only to two kinds of teams: a championship contender faced with injury at his position (whatever that is) or a hopeless mess.
The Sixers are not a contender.
This is the Buffalo Bills signing Terrell Owens - a cynical move made for the sole purpose of bringing a little attention to a team that has proved itself incapable of earning it the proper way, by winning.
Brand's deal has turned out to be a back-breaker. The team's failure to resign Andre Miller and, after that, its inability to bring in anything even resembling an NBA-ready point guard, were the next steps in dismantling what appeared to be a skyscraper's worth of promise. Their handling of Andre Iguodala — first, by signing him to star money when he's clearly not quite that caliber player — and then by asking him to play every position other than the one he excels at, has been hamfisted. This is a management group that, the drafting of Thad Young and Marreese Speights notwithstanding, has made one one wrong move after the next.
Sheridan argues that "If [Ed] Stefanski and Eddie Jordan re-sign Iverson, they might as well resign themselves." It's a little early to pin this one on Jordan, but maybe Stefanski should resign regardless.
AI is the sixers. But as far as that 1 year I would not take it. Throw it back at them. AI has been floating around like a lost puppie since they trew him out on his rear and now they offer a 1 year deal. I want him back but he deserves more than that. AI built the Sixers up and they tore him and the team down.
Obviously, He will be the MVP. You guys will see....
Bring em BACK!!!!
i think that A.I should come back because what are the sixers accomplishing now? nothing so why not give Iverson a chance. I want him back.
Nothing is working for Sixers. Bring in Iverson and maybee some spark will bring out some focus in the talent they have....but A.I. can't be such a diva.

Now, it's hard to make the argument that a guy who as recently at last season averaged 17.4 points per game and who just two seasons ago put up 26.4 per contest has nothing left to offer an NBA team. Which is why, despite his retirement, everyone, including the struggling Sixers, are debating bringing ol' No. 3 into the fold. And, of course, at issue is what kind of role Iverson should be playing and what role he will play. No young, developing team wants to make AI the number one option. A contending team could use a guy with AI's instant scoring ability as a super sixth man, but that doesn't seem to be the kind of gig AI wants or even knows how to play.
The Daily News' John Smallwood has an interesting take on Iverson over on philly.com, which looks at what's possible for his future, and what we may have been cheated out of in the past (and has a really bad-ass pre-cornrows rookie shot of Allen).
Iverson can clearly still play in the league. But can he accept a bit role on a contender, or will he go quietly into that good night on the assumption that if he's not "the guy" he's not gonna play?
Of course, Larry Brown has chimed in and urged Iverson to reconsider, and we all know how Iverson feels about what Larry Brown wants.
Should the Sixers take a flyer on him?
yes, i want a.i. back in nba. hes the best. i love watching nba becase of him.... for now i hate watching nba anymore...

My friend Chris McKenna just sent this video shot by bike evangelist Michael McGettigan of University City's Trophy Bikes. McGettigan set up a camera at Rittenhouse Square — it appears to be the east intersection with Locust — to see if anybody at all comes to a full stop (that's his red folding bike in the foreground). There are, count 'em, three stop signs and a flashing red light which means, as McGettigan explains in the video, that drivers must come to a complete stop and then proceed when it's safe. The coming to a stop issue is one that's always brought up by people on the "cyclists are scofflaws" side of the urban biking argument whenever these things are hollered about.
What did McGettigan find? Hardly anyone — cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, SEPTA buses, school buses (and, okay, cyclists, but we already knew that, right?) — comes to anything even resembling a complete stop unless there is a pedestrian directly in front of them. Most drivers roll right through. Some come to a stop only once they've entered the intersection to find a pedestrian already in the crosswalk.
What other intersections could use the McGetti-cam treatment?

This video is useful. As I debated the crackdown on cyclist with friends via Facebook, one of them actually said that she believes most cars stop at stop signs. Perhaps her rhetoric was simply an attempt to shout me down but maybe there are a lot of people out there who generally believe that they are most other car drivers are good, safe drivers. Witness the guy who commented on this video on Youtube implying that because there is no car traffic coming from the left, it doesn't matter if cars fail to stop at this intersection. Never mind the people who are walking across Locust or 19th! The fact is that cops stopped enforcing almost all traffic violations decades ago. A crackdown on all forms of transit is needed, including buses and 2000 pound cars.
How about some balance and take a video half a block south at 19th & Spruce? That intersection is controlled by a real redlight and green light. I will bet the video will show cars completely stopped at the redlight waiting for it to turn green. I will also bet that at least half of the bicyclists will come to that same redlight and proceed to go if they do not see traffic coming, especially those in the new bike lane. As noted before, in this video two bicyclists blew through the stop sign and did not even try to slow down. Much commentary about the motorists breaking the law but not a peep about the two-wheelers.
There most certainly was a "peep" about the first cyclist who blew the stop sign. McGettigan definitely does mention the transgression.
@Philly Chit Chat: I think it's called the South Philly Slide or something like that.
Regarding the comment above implying that we have been censoring comments, here's a little behind-the-curtain look at how our comment system works: Most comments are published immediately with no moderation process. Some comments, especially those that contain links or potentially objectionable/inflammatory language, are flagged by our spam filter and must be be approved by the web master, web editor or me. Flagged comments left on the evening before a major holiday sometimes are not acted upon in as timely a manner as we would hope.
Don't they call this the South Philly Stop Sign stop. I think a little brake light is a good thing. Of course if a cop was behind me I would over stop and look both ways just in case.
I am all for positive change and the defense of cyclists because they are widely discriminated group... but this video does nothing to aid our cause, and everything to add more fuel to the fire against us. The two cyclists in the video just BLOW right through the stop sign while the commentator mentions, "ohh will he cut off the cyclist? nooooo". The moron cyclist blew through the stop sign! We need to keep the level headed discussions going, and cease to make videos like this that come off as whiney and self-deserving.
Upon official review: I stand corrected :)!
This is a weird "intersection" to choose because there is no cross traffic. So cars are literally only stopping for pedestrians. But you do have to note that almost every car at least paused while NONE of the cyclists even considered touching their brakes.
Mithras, we publish all comments. Yours just came in at the beginning of the holiday.
I see you still haven't published my comment from Wednesday night. How many others are being held in moderation? I bet you caught a ton more grief than you're willing to show.
Way to egg on the whole car/bike war. You bikers and your whining has become tedious and juvenile. Move to fucking Beijing if you want the streets for yourselves. Cars will always win.
I was hit by a bike heading down a one-way street the wrong way. I'd stepped off the curb to see whether my bus was coming, not expecting that a bike would approach from the opposite direction. Naive of me, I know.... More recently, I was about to start across Market Street near 30th Street Station--on a walk signal--when a cyclist went through the light, almost hitting me, and almost himself being hit by a car. And, yes, as a pedestrian, I've had near misses with cars, drivers whipping around corners while talking on cell phones and the like... or blocking the cross-walk. But shouldn't we hold drivers AND cyclists accountable for unsafe practices? More surprising than the accidents of the past couple of months is that there aren't more accidents.
I seem to recall being accused of using a straw man and red herring tactic when I took note of any number of bicyclists rolling through redlights and riding on sidewalks after I left the Pilot Bike Lane meeting in August. Would this video be a straw man or red herring? And really what is the point? Except to prove that unless the police enforce the laws equally across the board then nothing will change. But does that make the recent argument for bicyclists to obey traffic laws any less valid because of this video?
I think a whopping 98% of drivers actually never come to a full stop at a stop sign unless there's any actual reason to. To a large degree, I actually can understand that. Some people almost came to a full stop but fell short, and I think that's a fairly-decent way to go about it. The best, of course, is to come to a complete stop. This study really doesn't prove much. The cyclist didn't even come close to a full stop, he just flew by like there was nothing there. On top of that, this isn't a 4-way intersection, which would be the single best way to test it.
it really servse no point other than to show no one really obeys the laws as they should however they get across this city. should cyclists suddenly be targeted because a politicians need their names in the paper? no, but the city council should required their original law to be inforced. if the crackdown stops this stupid back and forth banter then it will do some good but everyone really needs to keep track of what they are doing instead of watching everyone else. let the police enforce what they want and live with it.
The more I see bullshit like this from bicyclists, the less sympathy I have for them.
21st and Hamilton. You'll see cop cars blowing through the intersection day and night.
Please take this study to 21st and Cherry. I'm going to die at that intersection. Thank you.

Would love to see a red bicycle icon for the redlights here. Would that actually begin to change behaviors, such as the sorry-but-it's-illegal rolling stop?
