RIP John Smallwood

[Hawkeye]

Longtime Philly sports columnist John Smallwood has died.  He covered all kinds of sports for both the Inquirer and Daily News and was a regular on Daily News Live.  He also wrote the book on Alan Iverson.  Good writer and by all accounts a good guy.

RIP.

Smallwood, Jasner and Conlin - I remember all of them well from Daily News Live.  Obviously Conlins career/life took a left hand turn there...

How many of those "DNL regulars" are even still working for the Daily News or Inquirer anymore?  Think most have either been let go or have retired...

Les Bowen, Marcus Hayes, Paul Domowich..?
