But as those weather element start to impact us here, in town, we are probably going to see some flight delays. Check with your airline, otherwise, mass transit looking good. Chris, lauren, back to you. Chris is acting like he is in a college class, he has his highlight err, hes reading, flipping the pages. This is the 13 page explanation, i guess we should say, about why sam hinkie decided to leave the seven 6ers, because he stepped down as general manager, president of basketball operations, and the team man are just losing . The worst in basketball, ten in 68, headed into tomorrow against the nicks. Sam hinkie when he came in a few seasons ago, just shy of three years ago now, said it is a process, right . Hang in there with us, were going to really rebuild for the future. Well, sam hinkie is not around to see that future, and we new in large part that his demise was imminent, when of course, the 76ers brought in Jerry Coangelo as chairman of the basketball operations, you my his influence is the guy running the team essentially was over. Right. Im just baffled because i dont see any i dont know. Just doesnt flow to me. It is not explaining in what people i think at home fans of the team would want to hear, you know, whether there are some behind the scenes drama, something that upset him . Just sort of is like a rambling resignation letter, steve keeley. I know you just talk to somebody. Did you let them read it, hear what they had to say . Reporter well, the problem is, it came out so late that a lot of people are just finding out about it right now. Now, mole more ganty with us, kind of enough to be late for work for us today. Al was covering the detroit flyers game, which is actually the more important story. But al has been covering sam hinkie since he got here. Anal was one of the early believers in the process. Al, i showed you my highlight of this resignation letter. You thought, all right, this is in line with the way this guy has always talked. Right. And acted . Yes, i did, i kind of feel the fool now when i say i put all my monday any this stock, and this stock turned into to junk bonds, exactly what happened here. You are covering the flyers, all the sudden word starts hinkie resigned. I said what . And then it comes out, oh, no, he didnt just resign it, get better. There is a 13 page letter. Im like oh, boy, this is gold for morning radio, maybe not gold for local basketball fans, but if you are doing this, it is like this just doesnt get any crazier than this. And you followed hinkie and the rest of us. You didnt even want to follow him after a while. So you think there is nothing to be worried about here, just the way he act . New york i dont think people thinking oh, did he really go off, you know, off the tracks. Hes consistently been like. This ive never understood what he said since day one, which made me think hes smarter than me. Now i realize, maybe not. Maybe hes just like. That will but hes been consistently, you know, above the water line with words and stuff like that. So i think he was like there is an old thing some guy with numbers, i just assume he was like balancing decimal point throughout his whole career here, just normal for him to write, like when he writes, you know, go out for milk it is probably seven pages to go out what the cow did, what the grass did, how green, eventually you get to the milk and this is him. Thanks, al. Well be inside. At least they have a lot to talk about today. Steve, real quick, while you have al there real quickly, ask him about drawing comparison between hinkie and chip kelly . These guys both thought that they were the smartest guys in the room, while al is leaving now. But both of them are gone and they both had very alternative approach in how to run, you know, eagles and 76ers. Reporter yes, and if youre a kid watching you go this is how i need to make my millions, if i cant make it as an athlete, ill just act like im smarter than everybody else and get hired to be in charge of the athletes. But chris, good question. Ill actually use that question, were going back inside and see alan the rest of the team. Boy, this is why they have sports radio, there is always something to talk becomes specially in this town. So you have villanova, iverson in the hall of fame, you have the flyers, which he covered, which they lost last night, probably the bigger story to talk about, are they going it make the playoffs. Al thinks they will. He thinks boston will choke rather than the flyers. So, there is so much to do, it never ends, and by the way, phillies are trying to struggle to get hey, by the way, we started a new season, well excepting day monday, they cant even crack the top five sports stories here in philadelphia. What a week it has been, steve, thanks. From sports to politics to democrat vying their ways to the white house.

He drew massive crowds at Temple University yesterday evening, where he talk about making College Tuition free for public colleges. And university, along with climate change.
