These previous two days, Philadelphia fans have jumped onto the field for personal glory. Needless to say the reaction towards those fans were quite uncalled for. One Teen was tased, while another was only escorted out by security. The tasing was excessive, but the real problem is the media's take on this. Bringing "what if's" to the table, instead of probabilities. Philadelphia security is overweight, sloppy and some are even elderly. If the media is going to play this game of terrorism or the protection of 44000 fans, then we have to look at who they've given to us as protection. Media personalities are eating this up for ratings, spreading fear so people follow like sheep. Why is Philadelphia everyones punching bag? Why is it okay for other places to do the exact same thing, but not Philadelphia? Pretty hypocritical. And here's the link to the Boston ad I spoke of in the video. boston.3432.voxcdn.com

Hajdak/Mokan Chapter The Chapter is named after two departed Chapter members, Ed Mokan and Henry Hajdak. Both were heroes of World War II. (In the words of Former Chairman Dan Bosak) In the beginning of the chapter, we were members of the South Jersey Chapter who at the time hosted the convention in Philadelphia. After the convention, which was a huge success, Ed Mokan came to me and asked if I thought we start our own chapter. I had some reservations, but he informed me that he was going to go through with it no matter what. After going back and forth with a lot of talk, it was decided that we would move forward. We informed Ed Slavin and the other members of the South Jersey Chapter what our intentions were, and they tried to talk us into staying with their chapter knowing we had just worked our butts off to run the convention with a small handful of people. And he knew we were people the chapter could depend upon. We asked the chapter for a stipend of the monies we helped raise and although they were under no obligation and after some talk with the national chairman, they decided to give us some start-up money which we gladly accepted with humility. Ed Mokan, Tom Golden, Bill Lynn, Charlie mccready and Dan Bosak started the chapter. The exact year escapes me at this time. However, through the years we have grown into a fairly large group of men who have kept the Airborne Spirit alive in the Philadelphia area. Our chapter is a very diversified group with members form ...

jose makes it clear why he shouldn't be fighting....specially takin on 7'2 Hong Man Choi...good for a laugh
Jose Canseco got his ass knocked out! See it here by Homg Man Choi: www.youtube.com And here by Vai Sikahema: www.youtube.com
May 26, 2009 - Jose Canseco is set to fight 7'2", 330 pound kickboxer Hong Man Choi. Choi is one of the biggest MMA fighters on the planet, and his most notable fight was a loss to Fedor Emelianenko. I don't have the slightest idea how long this video will stay up, but I can tell you that I find it incredibly amusing that Jose Canseco fought a 7-2 Korean kickboxer and had to tap out in 1:16. The best part of the defeat is, without a doubt, the fact that he didn't even really lose because of his inability to fight (although that was pretty clearly an issue, too). No, he went down because he was essentially unable to defend himself after he injured his knee running away from his opponent, Hong Man Choi. You can actually see him start hopping around right before he goes down. And honestly, his opponent was so much bigger than him, he sort of looked like a cartoonish fighter from Punch-Out!!
