BREAKING NEWS FROM PHILLY

LECLAIR ASKING OUT?
Philadelphia, PA- Howard Eskin of 610 WIP, Philadelphia's sports radio station, is reporting that John LeClair's days in the Orange & Black may be numbered, or over already.
Take this for what it's worth. Everyone in Philadelphia knows how "reliable" Eskin is. However, Eskin said that his spies were in South Philly today and observed Flyers LW John LeClair & GM Jack Santos eating cheesesteaks together at Pat's King Of Steaks on Wharton St.. Eskin, who is known for campaigning to get players traded, said his spy saw LeClair put down his cheesesteak, look long at it, and said "I will miss these carnivorous treats the most!"
While we could not reach the GM, we were able to reach Flyers Chairman Ed Snider. An obviously irate Snider went off on a tantrum dredging into Eskin's past:

"In the past, Eskin was suspended for 30 days by WIP and ordered to pay an undisclosed amount of money for claiming that Philadelphia 76ers star Allen Iverson and his lawyer tampered with witnesses and other malicious charges while Iverson was in court.

Off the air in 1997, Howard's name surfaced involving a murder case of Marlene Stumpf. Stumpf was a 46 year-old married woman from Pottstown, Pennsylvania posing in chat rooms as a 25 year-old cheerleader named "Brandice", and engaged in some provocative chat room discussions with Howard. Howard had sensed the woman was depressed and typed, "Why don't you give me your address, and I'll send you a little something." Howard kept his word and sent Stumpf some flowers. A few days later, Stumpf was found murdered. Her husband confessed to the crime and was arrested.

Eskin has also been known to lead long-term "campaigns" to have players traded from Philadelphia teams such as former Phillies' outfielder Bobby Abreu for apparent lackadaisical defense and lack of clutch hitting, and Sixers' guard Allen Iverson for his allegedly selfish play."

Snider also said that once he speaks to his GM, the truth will come out.
