He should have followed up. The man is no hero. But your take is pretty sensational since he didn't witness it and he did notify the man in charge of the police.

Good lord. They might be idiots, but they're college students, not the SS.

The one thing the Sixers care about most is developing young players with potential. It's probably a little tough to care about basketball being out for the season with an injury thousands of miles away from home where his 13 year old brother just died in a car wreck.

We have no idea to what extent his difficult year is affecting his conditioning or any other basketball-related responsibilities. I don't think we have a right to judge him based on what we think we know. But as a fan, I am concerned with his conditioning. I hope he does whatever it takes to be the best Embiid, and…

The players deserve that much in my opinion, but it's really not that important.

I'm really not sure why you think PSU would try to profit from this. If for some reason that does happen, I'm with you. I get that you hate the program, and that's fine, but this seems like a bit of a far-fetched assumption.

We Penn State alumni are pretty horrible as a whole, and many are just as blind as our figurehead was. But if we're being honest, it is a little unfair to imply he that he didn't take the slightest action. I am glad to see the wins restored. The players deserve that much in my opinion, but it's really not that…

Feelings about the man aside, it is a victory. The major takeaway really shouldn't be "JoePa this" or "NCAA that". The actual important piece of news here is that Penn State will be allowed to direct its fine money to charitable organizations supporting victims of abuse. Funneling the money through the NCAA would have…

Phew. McManus is definitely a better source than Florio or the other jabroni. Hopefully this gets cleared up soon. I'm developing an ulcer reading and listening to Bleeding Green Nation.

I can't think of anything Lurie has done to make me believe he's anywhere close to Dan Snyder or Jerry Jones.

First of all, we're not sure there's any lack of competency yet. Second, I'm not sure what this has to do with Philadelphia sports as a whole.

I'm worried as an Eagles fan too, but these are all still hot takes. Usually in major companies, when someone is fired, they're escorted out. It may have been a power move against Chip, or it may have been that someone has to take the fall for last year's perceived poor draft and Gamble was the guy, especially with…

The fear is that the firing of Tom Gamble, VP of Player Personnel and Chip's friend was part of a power play by owner Jeff Lurie and GM Howie Roseman against Chip from a personnel/player acquisition standpoint. If that's the case and Chip feels that he's losing his control of personnel decision making, he may look to…

There is no real evidence that the Eagles are throwing away Chip Kelly. The possibility scares me because of Tom Gamble's firing and the notion that it could be a power play by Roseman and Lurie against Chip, but it's still unlikely that Chip leaves the Eagles.

So that's why the Sixers are taking!

They are purposefully playing a team that has little chance of winning against most NBA teams. They have some young players who have a legitimate shot at becoming stars in the league, but some of them are injured or playing overseas which makes the team worse in the short term. The coach and players are playing to…

Ticket prices are cheap as dirt to watch a Sixers game. Also, it seems like the only people who are upset are fans of other teams. Very few Sixers fans seem to feel cheated. We're watching young players improve their game and a promising team building from the ground up. Most Sixers fans love this team as it's…

There are what ifs about every player in sports. Risk is inherent. What "sure thing" is there ever in the NBA? Sixers fans have been through absolute shit for years. Knicks fans are being put through shit too, and their team has a worse plan for the future. Iguodala and Jrue were great, and I loved Thad Young but I…

Tom Ley already wrote this stupid article. The Sixers are fun to watch. They have 2 of the best rookies in the league in kj McDaniels and Nerlens Noel. MCW is a double-double machine. Yes, they are a bad NBA team, but they are committed to developing young players, and that development is fun and exciting.

Some would call that kind of thinking "cynical and indescribably awful". Personally, I think that sometimes it's appropriate to focus on building and developing talent, even over putting together a winning session. Maybe it sucks for the kids who want to see their favorite team win, but for most of us adults I think…
