Philadelphia Chef dishes criticism on Philadelphia: On Papal Visit: ‘Didn’t Need To Close Every Street, Scaring Most People’
Now that the Pope is back in Rome, we need to take a good hard look in the mirror and wonder if the security nightmare was imposed on us or created
In Philadelphia, that look has begun
One Philadelphia chef took to Facebook to share how he felt about the planning of the massive event.
Marc Vetri writes, “We’re clearly all thrilled that Pope Francis is here. Never has there been a Pope in history that people have such admiration for while having such a gentle voice that transcends all religions and all walks of life. I can say that I was thrilled that the Pope has chosen Philadelphia to spread his message…and I remain thrilled.
My only regret is the decisions of Philadelphia leaders. Instead of engaging the citizens and businesses around this great city in welcoming the Pope, they have instead decided to roll out the red carpet for everyone making the pilgrimage, and roll us up in the carpet to place in storage until Monday. I imagine a man like this Pope would like to see Philadelphia as is. We are the fabric of this city yet it seems as if the people that make this city great were by in large… an afterthought.”

Trevor Noah begins his DAILY SHOW career..
A few samplings of thoughts online:
There’s no way to judge a brand new “Daily Show” on the strength or weakness of a single episode, especially since we’re talking about 20 minutes of material (subtract all of the commercials for “The Walk”). But after watching new host Trevor Noah’s seemingly smooth debut Monday night, I just have to ask: What were we all so afraid of?

ABC NEWS: The Shocking Dangers of High School Football // MORE: New Jersey high school star quarterback Evan Murray died of an abdominal hemorrhage caused by a lacerated spleen.
And this reporting from FOX NEWS on the subject:
A star New Jersey high school quarterback who collapsed and died after receiving a heavy hit during a Friday night football game was a victim of internal bleeding caused by a ruptured spleen, an autopsy revealed Monday.
Morris County Medical Examiner Ronald Suarez noted in his autopsy reported that Evan Murray had an abnormally large spleen which was more susceptible to injury, according to NJ.com. Suarez also determined there was no evidence of head trauma or heart disease and ruled Murray’s death an accident.
Murray, 17, had walked off the field with the help of some Warren Hills Regional High School teammates after taking a hit in the backfield. A short time later, the three-sport athlete collapsed on the sidelines.
