A Philly Philms production, The Palestra: Cathedral of Basketball provides a vivid history of the most storied college basketball venue in NCAA history, The Palestra. Through interviewing past players (Corky Calhoun), coaches (John Chaney and Jack Ramsay), and local media (Harry Kalas and Dick "Hoops" Weiss) writer and director Mikaelyn Austin paints a deeply moving picture of what is was like playing and watching a game at The Palestra.

Venus Williams Wins, Jason Loses

With the amount of free time Jason has I'm sure he'll read this article eventually. Just like I predicted on Friday's show, Venus Williams not only won the Wimbledon Championship but cruised to her 4th Wimbledon championship and 6th Grand Slam title. Williams is the lowest ranked women's winner in Wimbledon history at #31. Venus beat 2004 Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova on Wednesday, 2004 U.S. Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova on Thursday and French Open runner-up Ana Ivanovic on Friday to advance to the final against Marion Bartoli who shocked everyone by beating Justine Henin. Venus Williams beat Bartoli in straight sets 6-4, 6-1.
