Fans chanted, “Fire Fletcher” during the team’s loss (4-1) by the Pittsburgh Penguins. Chuck Fletcher is the Flyers General Manager. Dave Scott is the chairman of Comcast Spectacor, Flyers parent company. If Scott decides to fire Fletcher, the next man up would be former player Danny Briere, special assistant to Chuck Fletcher.

NBA:

The Philadelphia 76’ers remain subpar after adding Tucker to the team. Injuries continue to plague the team and create problems. James Harden has been out since November 2, due to a strained right foot. Joel Embiid just returned after an injury. Tyrese Maxey has not returned but the team’s bench players have stepped up and helped the team win the last three games. Not sure what this season will bring, but I pray that the team will get it together and fast! Harding is slated to return to play on or before December 9, when the 76’ers will host The Los Angeles Lakers. The 76’ers are currently in 5th place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 12 wins and 9 losses. The team has 12 games remaining in December.
