D. A. has always been one of the good guys in the media. I wish him well.

DA is leaving. It reminds me of the time when Dr. J retired from the 76ers…we are losing DA the journalist, and not the man, so today is a good day!

The Philadelphia Inquirer has lost two great Black sports journalists in a year, the other being Stephen A. Smith. What I’m curious to see is who will be in those seats now and will they be journalists of color.

I keep stressing the point that we have to demand more of these news sources initiated by demanding more of ourselves.

David will be sorely, sorely missed. When I began to see his face more on TV, it inspired me to at least take a look at the journalism field and that’s why we need more of us out in front. I can’t help but to think he feels a little bit better by seeing more of us in the Philly press rooms.

That alone gives me the strength to step up and become the journalist I aspire to be.

IMO DA is the consummate journalism soul model.
