Jahlil Okafor responds to reports
Howard Eskin was the first to report about Jahlil Okafor’s speeding ticket – with much judgement – and yet, Philly.com, 2002:
Radio and television personality Howard Eskin won’t be driving his white Lexus across the river anytime soon.
A municipal judge in Camden County yesterday revoked Eskin’s New Jersey driving privileges for 60 days and ordered the sports anchor on WCAU-TV (Channel 10) and host on WIP-AM (610) to pay $180 in fines for a driving violation.
Eskin, 51, was pulled over on May 14 on Berlin Road while on his way to the Flyers’ Skate Zone, the hockey team’s practice facility in Voorhees. He was ticketed for driving 100 m.p.h. in a 40-m.p.h. hour zone.

ESPN has lost seven – SEVEN! – million subscribers due to cord cutting:
Disney has acknowledged that its cable assets including ESPN have lost subscribers, but until last week, it didn’t say exactly how many. When Disney boss Robert Iger said back in August that ESPN had experienced “some subscriber losses,” it sent media stocks spiraling. But in a regulatory filing last week, Iger’s acknowledgement was met with little more than a whimper, but the tempered reaction was due to the fact that the news was released late on Wednesday as investors were getting away for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Iger said ESPN has lost 7 million subscribers standing now at 92 million. In 2013, ESPN was at its peak of 99 million and 95 million in 2014. Cord cutters who now depend on Hulu and Netflix for their viewing are mainly responsible for the lower numbers. And cord shavers who still subscribe to cable, but reduce to skinnier programming bundles are also seen a reason for ESPN’s lower numbers.
See, ESPN can pay the big-money broadcast licenses because it collects money from virtually every cable subscriber, whether they like or not. But the more people who cut the cord or dial back service, the more ESPN loses.

Dario Saric top 20 plays of 2015:
Good article by Bob Cooney on how Sixers management needs to step in and help out Brett Brown. He’s right. Things are getting out of control. This has always been the fear– losing breeds a culture of chaos. There’s a human element. Right plan, but we’re seeing the nasty side effects.
