Time Stefanski Took Heat

As the NBA trade deadline has apparently come and gone without a move from the 76ers, a question that has rattled around my brain for a while has finally forced me to write about this team. What exactly has Sixers general manager Ed Stefanski done to warrant the nice, if not glowing, image he seems to have with the media?

Earlier, I heard Jody MacDonald lightly chastising Phillies fans for not lighting up the phone lines to praise the Phillies for signing all of their restricted free agents, including Ryan Howard. This was barely 12 hours after President Obama warned us again that the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression wasn
