What Is Early Word?
The Philadelphia Inquirer's experimental online "morning show", which began in Sept. 2005, went on hiatus in the summer of 2006, after a gradual shift to putting more of its content directly on Philly.com.



About the Host
Peter Mucha, husband and father of two, grew up in Cherry Hill and is a lifelong Philly sports fan. He's been writing and editing for The Inquirer for 18 years. His motto (at least for today): "If I'm not brief, give me grief."

See A.I.'s 'Money Bagz' Tattoo? 

Photo of Money Bagz tattoo from alleniversononlive.comWatching a video clip of Allen Iverson, I noticed on the back of one hand he has a tattoo that says "Money Bagz." Is he bragging? Having a good laugh about the obvious? No way to tell. But another of his newer tattoos, sure doesn't strike any tone of bemusement. It says FAME across his back, with a message reading downward "F@#!? All My Enemies." You can check them and others out at alleniversonlive.com.

And here's something else we learned about A.I.: He wants to be a fisherman.

By the way, last night on NBC10's Sports Final, St. Joe's coach Phil Martelli said the now-infamous late-for-Fan-Appreciation-Night incident sure shows how much Iverson, not GM Billy King and certainly not coach Moe Cheeks, is in charge of the franchise. Who was to blame for that situation? "The players. There's no doubt about it," said Martelli. While A.I. and Chris Webber weren't necessarily showing disrespect for the fans, they clearly have a "total disrepect" for anybody in the organization, he said. "Somebody in the upper echelons has said that this team will dance to the tune set by Allen Iverson."
