PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Saquon Barkley blew through a hole and ran untouched in the wintry mix, the Eagles' 2,000-yard rusher smacking his helmet with his hand on his final snowy steps of a 78-yard touchdown run.
The Rams had braced for gusty winds and a heightened chance of snow on a trip to Philadelphia.
They were blown over by Barkley.
Barkley waved his arms in celebration as he scampered along the back of the end zone before he slid into the snow — Slide, Eagles, Slide! — in the late-game playoff celebration.
Philadelphia Front Page News TV-Radio News In Brief: 76ers throw Parker a 'curve ball' in South Philly Sports Complex, abandoning hard-won plans for Center City arena Forward news by KYW Newsradio frontpagenews1@yahoo.com

PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — After more than two years of hearings, long-winded debates and bitter protests — and after winning over City Council to vote on legislation to pave the way — the 76ers have abandoned their plans to build a new arena in Center City.
Sixers and Flyers owners say they struck a deal on a new arena, promise renewed commitment to East Market.
The team's owners have instead struck a 50-50 deal with Comcast Spectacor to demolish Wells Fargo Center, which the company owns, and build a new arena in the South Philly Sports Complex.
The Center City arena project, called 76 Place, was approved by Philadelphia City Council late last month. Some council members who voted against it say they feel blindsided.
Councilmember Kendra Brooks said she wants to know what exactly happened and why they put so much energy into a project that didn’t go anywhere.

Philadelphia Front Page News TV-Radio News In Brief: How to avoid frostbite as frigid temps hover across the US forward news by KYW Newsradio frontpagenews1@yahoo.com
Above: Hands exposed in frigid temperatures.
Large swaths of the country are being hit with a mixture of low temperatures and rising wind, leaving many vulnerable to potential frostbite.
Frostbite, an injury that results from freezing of the skin and underlying tissues, can occur within minutes and potentially cause irreversible damage, according to the Mayo Clinic.
The Clinic also notes that frostbite occurs when the body’s survival mechanisms kick in when faced with freezing temperatures. The body attempts to protect its vital organs by cutting off blood circulation to extremities, which could lead them to freeze.
Before frostbite sets in, people will experience frostnip, a cold feeling that is followed by numbness in extremities. As the frostnip gets worse, the affected skin may change color and become hard.
Philadelphia Front Page News TV-Radio News In Brief: Congress certifies Trump as 2024 presidential election winner without violence or mayhem, in contrast to 4 years ago forward news by KYW Newsradio frontpagenews1@yahoo.com
PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A joint session of Congress on Monday, under heavy security, certified Donald Trump as the winner of the 2024 presidential election, without challenge—in stark contrast to the chaos of the same date four years ago, when a mob of Trump’s supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol, trying to prevent the 2020 election results from being certified.
In that siege, over 140 police officers were assaulted—including more than 80 from the U.S. Capitol Police and more than 60 from Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The Capitol building was damaged. Government property was damaged, destroyed and stolen. By current estimates, losses from the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection exceed $2.8 million.
National correspondent Steven Portnoy joined KYW’s Ian Bush and Carol MacKenzie on Monday to describe some of the measures in place to prevent a repeat. A lightly edited transcript of the interview follows, as well as additional facts about Jan. 6, 2021.
Philadelphia Front Page News TV-Radio News In Brief: Philly region sees first significant snowfall of the season forwarded by KYW Newsradio frontpagenews1@yahoo.com

PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — The first significant snow in nearly two years prompted schools, city offices and courts to close. Foot traffic was way down in Center City, but a few hearty souls ventured out.
"We started seeing the snow starting to fall and got very excited, so we had a quick breakfast, we got all of our snow gear, found our sled and headed out,” said Emma Price.
She, her husband and two children — 5-year-old Matt and 2-year-old Samantha — all had Monday off. They decided to make the most of it by sledding and playing in the snow at a playground near Eakins Oval — a spot many others flocked to as well. Some were at the Art Museum steps taking pictures with a snow-covered Rocky, while others built snowpersons and created snow angels across the way.
Outside the city, in Delaware County, main roads were in good driving condition, but side roads were more challenging. Clifton Madison, who owns Executive Auto Repair in Chester, had some advice for making sure a vehicle is equipped for winter weather conditions: “It’s better to have all-season or winter tires, snow tires. You don’t want to have summer tires, especially in this kind of weather. You’ll be slipping and sliding all around.”
Philadelphia Front Page News Baseball Sports Brief: 2025 Overall Rankings UPDATE: News & Notes by Shera Minor frontpagenews1@yahoo.com
Whether at the second annual Prep Baseball All-American Game, one of the many showcase events, or the countless Prep Baseball Tournaments held across the country, the fall season served as a pivotal platform for the 2025 class to further solidify its standing as the MLB Draft draws closer. With each passing week, the 2025 class continues to make its case as one of the most dynamic in recent memory, showcasing a deep talent pool filled with high-upside players.
For Prep Baseball, the fall season represented an unmatched
opportunity for boots-on-the-ground scouts to build a comprehensive
track record of the class. From the electric environments of
high-profile showcases to the grind-it-out intensity of tournament play,
Prep Baseball scouts were omnipresent, gathering data, sharpening
evaluations, and honing in on the most credible insights in the
industry. This relentless pursuit of information ensures that the 2025
rankings and scouting reports reflect not only the raw tools on display
but also the intangibles and competitive edge that define the next wave
of premier players.
The All-American Game stood out as a marquee
event, offering a unique stage for elite prospects to go head-to-head in
front of a packed house of scouts and decision-makers. However, the
smaller, often overlooked tournaments provided equally valuable glimpses
into the makeup and consistency of players, further validating their
performances on the biggest stages.
As the 2025 MLB Draft creeps
into view, the groundwork laid during this critical fall stretch has
provided a clearer picture of who will ultimately rise to the top, with
PBR’s relentless effort ensuring that no stone is left unturned.

Leatherflower will hangout in both New Jersey and Philly for her new podcast and will record it in Pennsauken New Jersey and the Van Stone Productions Foundation House-Center West Philadelphia studios. There will be at least three episodes released on air every week beginning December 24, 2024.
