"I'm very passionate about my game, and I'm going to play with a high level of intensity and leave it out there."
As it turns out, what Andrew Bynum and the Sixers told us after the trade in August meant nothing.
After arthroscopic surgery Tuesday in New York, Bynum will not play a game this season.
FOX 29's Howard Eskin said they traded for a player with bad knees, so he sent out a question to the fans and Sixers CEO Adam Aron in a tweet on Tuesday.
Eskin asked that, since the Sixers get back $13 million in insurance money on Bynum, don't fans who purchased tics to see him get refunds from that money?
Here were some of the fan response:
@JLRYAN1981 – They should use that $ to refund any fan who
bought a bynum jersey or shirt.
@CHEEZWHIZARD45 – The postage to mail out a refund is worth
more than the tickets.
@JPTOTH825 – It worked out great for the sixers. they sold
tickets, promoting bynum, without needing to pay him.
@BUBBABOBERICK – That money is going towards
finding a mascot and paying for the tee-shirt shooter.

Surveillance video you'll see only on FOX shows chaos just after a police officer opened fire on a man who witnesses say had his hands up to surrender. Police deny that claim.

Not the prettiest Friday, but we're ready for a great weekend. Expect scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the day. After an early high in the upper sixties, temperatures fall & winds pick up out of the chillier northwest. Right now the Memorial Day Weekend looks sunny and cool with highs in the low to mid 60s on Saturday, in the 70s Sunday & Monday. Cooler temps at the shore.
