NBC 10 Harasses Allen Iverson At Foot Locker

Yesterday, as Vince DeMentri was doing his holiday shopping -- or, so the story on NBC 10 goes -- he ran into none other than Allen Iverson, shopping for shoes in what appears to be a store somewhere on City Ave. (Or possibly the Roosevelt Mall.)

DeMentri meets him as he exits the store and quickly gets in a question: "Hey, Allen, don't the fans deserve to hear something from you?" (He does this, oddly enough, in the most accusatory tone possbile.) Allen looks like he's fumbling for an answer before coming up with: "I love them."

Oh, here, watch for yourself.

Okay, I really only have one question after watching that video, somehow: What does Allen Iverson need to buy at Foot Locker?

Breaking: Vince DeMentri A Total Pimp In High School

For those of you as obsessed with the local media as I am -- which I hope to God isn't (m)any of you -- NBC 10 has put up a 50-picture slideshow of its anchors' and reporters' childhood photographs. In it, we learn that Vince DeMentri wore a kickin' outfit to his prom:

He's not a player, he just crushes a lot.

How NBC 10 Is Like Fifth Grade

During the recent floods, NBC 10 reporter Vince DeMentri stood waist-deep in water while doing a report. This angered Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz, who informed DeMentri that you shouldn't be in water any higher than your ankles, 'cuz you could drown or something.

Here's what happened next, courtesy of the Inquirer's Michael Klein:

NBC10's Vince DeMentri landed in hot water over deep water.

During flooding last Thursday, NBC10 warned its newsies to stay out of the water during their stand-ups, lest they tempt danger and send a wrong message to viewers.

DeMentri, though, did his hit in Trenton from a waist-deep flood, prompting an on-air scolding from weatherguy Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz.

Talk around the station says DeMentri returned to 10 Monument Rd., entered the weather studio, and began bellowing at the much-smaller Schwartz. Doug Kammerer, a strapping fellow, supposedly inserted himself between the two; not so much as Schwartz's bow tie was ruffled. Management, never happy about office confrontations, called in DeMentri.

We know Doug Kammerer did the right thing there, but, oh, come on. That would have been an awesome fight.

Update: We almost forgot. The best part of the whole report was when they threw it back to Tim Lake (eventually), and he said something like "Glenn -- I mean Hurricane -- I'm over where Vince was and can see they he has gotten to higher ground and he's safe."
