    I'm posting this here under the theory "Once a Spur, always a Spur". And Malik Rose was definitely one of the most-liked Spurs in recent years.

    Not long after he was traded, Malik closed his Philly's Phamous CheeseSteak restaurant in the Quarry shopping center. Today I saw that he has opened a new Philly's Phamous here in SA. It's a drive-through, but there is a sign in front with Malik's picture, so it's definitely his.

    It's on Blanco, right across the street from Churchill High School, right next to a Valero station. The food in his old restaurant was good, and plentiful. Malik is a good guy. Support an ex-Spur. Drop in. Buy cheese steaks. Punch a new notch in that belt.

    That's cool. Hadn't heard that Malik was back in the sandwich business. I'll have to drop by.

    (Speaking of power forwards and sandwiches, I'd much rather trust Malik in a playoff game than Bonner in a playoff game ... today. Even though Malik has sucked the last five years.)

    The workhorse!

    In all honesty I think he was a fan favorite during his time with the Spurs. I've also ran into him in RL before, and he came across as pretty down to earth guy (I can't say the same about some other ex-spurs players *cough* Antonio Daniels. That dude came off as arrogant as ). Anyways, I like philly cheesteaks and I never got to try his. I'll probably stop by when I get a chance and check it out.

    Yeah I went to Churchill, it was called Jaenekes or some . At least for the past few years it was. It had all sorts of food.

    That's the place. Small drive through.

    And, no - I'm not Malik. I just think it's cool that SA makes a lot of ex-Spur players a permanent part of the community, if they decide to stay. And Malik is a genuinely good guy.

    Sounds like you know more about it than I do. I didn't have time to buy anything today, but I hope he brings back the cheese steaks if he hasn't already. I'll try a smoothie for now.

    Reminds me of driving an hour to philly every year to go watch the Spurs play the Sixers. We've stopped for a philly's original cheesesteak with the wife before the games.

    A buddy of mine worked at the first one when it opened so I got to meet alot of Malik's younger family. Nice people, but I wonder if Malik knew how much of his money they were spending on pot. And how much was coming out of that register for "drank" and "kill".
    I never ate there after the first time because it was far too pricey for a really bland sandwich. It was basically marked up steakums on soggy buns and cheap cheese, which I guess personifies Malik as a player.

    Texadelphia for the win. I tried Malik's back in the day and yes, it was overpriced and under-tasty.
