"Ed Scarpo", or should I say Ed Leiber, is back at it again. Making up a similar story as he did last summer, claiming that the Philadelphia family has named Phil Narducci as it's new boss. He's unsure of whether it's on an acting or permanent basis, and he claims he will have an updated version once he gets more information from his "sources" on the streets who wish to remain anonymous.

Sound familiar? He made a claim last summer that George Borgesi had been chosen as the new Philly boss. After several people pointed out that his sources were bogus and that he was 100% wrong, he kind of retracted his story but never actually admitted that he was flat out wrong. A few days later he posted a new article with the headline "Does It Really Matter Who's The Boss in Philly?"

This new story is more bogus junk. Merlino is in the can for a measly 4 months, and Stevie Mazzone has been the acting/street boss since 2011 after Uncle Joe was arrested. Why would there be a need for a new boss, whether it's official or on an acting basis? Merlino wouldn't be relinquishing his post; and in the hypothetical position that he was, it would surely be Mazzone as the new official boss if that were to happen. But it's not.

Merlino and Ciancaglini reportedly do not get along with Narducci, and vice versa. Narducci has absolutely no respect for Skinny Joey. Mazzone is what's holding things together, and Narducci reportedly kicks up to Stevie out of respect. Merlino has all of the power and backing, especially with Chickie back out on the street and his son being the underboss. No way Merlino would risk putting Narducci in a powerful administration position. The only way Narducci would become boss would be by taking it by force.

I think a bogus retraction will be coming soon, followed by another "Does It Really Matter" article instead of just admitting that he's wrong or flat our fabricating stories to get clicks to his site.

Thoughts?
