    Indeed it was. I served an internship for Prism (the former TV outlet that morphed into Comcast Sportsnet), and I ran all over the tunnels of that building, peeking in on concerts, tractor pulls, and of course, hockey and basketball games . Those were some fun times, and I *just* missed out on being a permanent part of that scene. The road not taken.

        When Phil Jasner, the longtime Sixers beat writer for the Daily News, was hospitalized with the cancer that eventually killed him, Snider offered to put Jasner in a private room and cover all the expenses.
        "Dad politely declined the offer," Jasner's son, Andy, said Monday in a post on his Facebook page. "But wow what a wonderful gesture. Mr. Snider told me we take care of each other in this community. I will never forget it."


        -That was Ed Snider.
