76ERS, RAVENS GETTING A JUMP ON THE OPPOSITION ON THE WEB?

          The WALL STREET JOURNAL's David Sweet examined the
     76ers' October 6 "Webcast," in which the team's practice
     from UNC was broadcast live on the Internet, and he wrote
     that the "video is not sharp -- players run in herky-jerky
     motions."  Sweet added that "during the Webcast, 76er brass
     monitored chat rooms and realized visitors were unimpressed
     by the video presentation."  So for the last hour of
     practice, the Webcast "focused more on" 76ers coach Larry
     Brown, who was "miked," rather than the players.  76ers
     Senior VP Dave Coskey: "We reacted to the (fan) comments. 
     You can't do that (as quickly) on TV or radio."  Coskey
     estimated the Webcast cost $2,500.  Sweet added that last
     summer, the Ravens had training camp Webcasts and wrote that
     "perhaps because" Internet company PSINet handled it, "the
     video is sharper than the 76ers footage -- player numbers
     are more easily identified" (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 10/12).
