Weird Monday? We’ve hit on the Eagles, Phillies, Flyers, Union, and Waterdogs. And if we’re giving credit where it’s due, Delaware football and Penn football both deserve a shout after the weekends they had. Cockfight in the Tub The Hens are a solid football team, now 2-1 with wins over Coastal Carolina and Merrimack.

The Turf Temperature in Tennessee Reached a Cleat-Melting 157 Degrees
The FOX broadcast mentioned a few times how hot the field was during the Eagles/Titans game on Sunday, which, if I’m being honest, I thought was baby stuff. “These are world-class athletes,” I thought to myself. “Just drink some water… they have all kinds of water on those benches… Not to mention Gatorade…. They have […] The post The Turf Temperature in Tennessee Reached a Cleat-Melting 157 Degrees appeared first on Crossing Broad .
A Pulse Check on the Phillies’ Bullpen
The Phillies have six games left in the regular season, and it’s nearly impossible for them to miss the postseason. The magic number is down to 3 with six games to go against the Brewers and Rays. The vibes right now are… not great. The offense has returned to their stagnant ways, although they did […] The post A Pulse Check on the Phillies’ Bullpen appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Rick Tocchet Asks for a Hockey Puck that Allows Guys Like David Jiricek to Shoot in Practice Without Killing Teammates
With Flyers training camp underway in Voorhees, head coach Rick Tocchet sounds a little frustrated by some of the limitations his team’s been running into in practice. Namely, Tocchet lamented the fact that power play units can’t go all-out because no one wants to get hurt by a hard slap shot from the point – […] The post Rick Tocchet Asks for a Hockey Puck that Allows Guys Like David Jiricek to Shoot in Practice Without Killing Teammates appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Who Gives a Rat’s Ass About a Meaningless USA Game when the Union are on the Verge of Setting a Franchise Record?
You want the good news or the bad news? Let’s do the good news first. Philadelphia Union homegrown trio Cavan Sullivan, Frankie Westfield, and Neil Pierre were all called into the USA’s senior team camp for the first time. It’s a very nice moment for three promising young players. The bad news is that they’ll […] The post Who Gives a Rat’s Ass About a Meaningless USA Game when the Union are on the Verge of Setting a Franchise Record? appeared first on Crossing Broad .
We’re Claiming the Waterdogs’ Premier Lacrosse League Title as a Philadelphia Championship
Hang the banner: Looks like they totally thumped this Denver squad. Wasn’t even close. Now let’s see… does this team even play in Philadelphia? Apparently they do not. They do a tour-based model in the Premier Lacrosse League, so there’s not even a home venue for the Wooderdogs. They did, however, come to Philadelphia this […] The post We’re Claiming the Waterdogs’ Premier Lacrosse League Title as a Philadelphia Championship appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Eagles Have Thrown Seven Screen Passes This Season for -15 Yards
We did a story last week titled “The Eagles Might Be the Worst Bubble Screen Team in All of Football (College and Pro).” That was after they tried three screens in the season opener for a grand total of -11 yards. Two targets went to Makai Lemon and the third was to Saquon Barkley. Let’s […] The post The Eagles Have Thrown Seven Screen Passes This Season for -15 Yards appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Maybe it’s Curtains for Orion Kerkering’s Phillies Tenure
The moment after Orion Kerkering threw the ball to the backstop in Los Angeles last October, I didn’t feel rage. I wasn’t mad, just disappointed. The Phillies had been setting us up for that heartbreaking moment since Game 1 of the NLDS. I just sat there and watched. Watched the Dodgers celebrate around a crestfallen […] The post Maybe it’s Curtains for Orion Kerkering’s Phillies Tenure appeared first on Crossing Broad .
That Was an Emotional Rollercoaster of a Day For Jeffery Simmons
Jeffery Simmons had himself quite a week. First, he told the media that the Titans would be just fine in Week 2 if they could “make Jalen Hurts be a quarterback,” which was either a fair defensive plan or bulletin board material, depending on how you felt like looking at it/if you were trying to […] The post That Was an Emotional Rollercoaster of a Day For Jeffery Simmons appeared first on Crossing Broad .
DeVonta Smith Went Full Superstar on the Game-Winning Drive
That was a weird one. The Eagles win it in Tennessee 24-20, and sitting here thinking back on the game I just watched, I’m not exactly sure how the Birds got that W. No one played particularly well. Jalen Hurts threw two interceptions. The offensive line got worked all afternoon (Jalen was sacked 3 times […] The post DeVonta Smith Went Full Superstar on the Game-Winning Drive appeared first on Crossing Broad .
“You Started That Shit, I Had to Finish it,” Says Jalen Hurts to Jeffery Simmons
A wholesome moment here: lmao A nice moment there between competitors. Two dawgs. Simmons is a BEAST but the Eagles are 2-0. Now let’s go down to Kristina Pink for an update: The post “You Started That Shit, I Had to Finish it,” Says Jalen Hurts to Jeffery Simmons appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Drew Brees Thought Jalen Hurts Should Have Lowered His Shoulder and Plowed Over Multiple Titans
This sequence from Sunday’s game got some buzz on social media, and probably at your watch party: Context – It’s NFL Week 2. Second quarter of a 7-7 ballgame in Tennessee with a little under seven minutes on the clock. 3rd and 9, Jalen Hurts decides to take off and start running.

Jalen Hurts Once Again Finds a Way to Win
The box score says Jalen Hurts went 26-37 for 264 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in Tennessee. He added five carries for 16 yards. But the line that really matters is this one: 6-8, 61 yards and a touchdown, one carry for four yards That was the final drive, the game-winning drive that went […] The post Jalen Hurts Once Again Finds a Way to Win appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Nice, We Won – 20 Immediate Observations from Eagles 24, Titans 20
The Eagles won. How? They didn’t even play that well! They were down 20-17 with two minutes left and no timeouts. Then Jalen Hurts said “I got this” and led a nine-play, 65-yard drive to not just get the field goal and tie it up, but win it OUTRIGHT with some brilliant playmaking from DeVonta […] The post Nice, We Won – 20 Immediate Observations from Eagles 24, Titans 20 appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Not a Hot Take or Clickbait: I Believe Temple’s Choke Job Was Worse than NC State’s Choke Job
Temple was up 42-28 with less than two minutes remaining in Toledo and lost the game 49-48 in overtime. Outrageous! Here’s how it happened: The clip didn’t include this incredible Ajani Sheppard run, which preceded the failed two-point conversion. Sheppard played the entire game because Jaxon Smolik left during the first series: K.C. Keeler said […] The post Not a Hot Take or Clickbait: I Believe Temple’s Choke Job Was Worse than NC State’s Choke Job appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Philadelphia Union Simply Refuse to Lose
The Union were down 3-0 at halftime in Kansas City on Saturday night and came to win 4-3: Incredible. They simply refuse to lose. That’s 11 domestic games now since the World Cup break in which they have 9 wins and 2 draws. They are all the way up to 6th place in the Eastern […] The post The Philadelphia Union Simply Refuse to Lose appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Sixers Should Fire the Employee Who Sold Season Ticket Package to Nick Wright
For people who say they’re against gatekeeping, and that “anyone can be a fan,” I present to you the following: “This was an extravagance, I will admit. Shoutout to the good people at the Philadelphia 76ers. It’s not a press pass. I paid retail. Now, I will say this – the home opener is a […] The post Sixers Should Fire the Employee Who Sold Season Ticket Package to Nick Wright appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Jalen Carter Says He’s Playing in Tennessee
Jalen Carter injured his right wrist against Washington in Week 1, while trying to punch the ball out of Terry McLaurin’s hands in the fourth quarter: The bum wrist kept him out of practice until Thursday, when the All-Pro defensive tackle returned as a limited participant. None of that sounds that great, but according to […] The post Jalen Carter Says He’s Playing in Tennessee appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Interesting That No One Complains When Josh Allen Does the Tush Push
The Bills beat the Lions 41-31 on Thursday night, and Josh Allen got the scoring started with a tush push: Which had a bunch of people online noticing something we’ve written about before: the Bills sure seem to run the tush push a lot, but suddenly, weirdly, there’s no more backlash about the play.

Yes, It’s True that Changes are Coming to Eagles Tailgating and the Sports Complex
A handful of people reached out this week asking if we knew anything the changes coming to Eagles tailgating. The answer was no. No clue. But these people pointed us to a couple of things, first a social media post from Carmen Conti of Big Carm’s Tailgate, who puts together a large spread every week.

“Avoided the Scariest Outcomes” – Mets Manager Says CT Scan on Jared Young Came Back Negative
Scary moment on Thursday night when Justin Crawford hit a dribbler up the 1st base line and Mets pitcher Nolan McLean accidentally kneed Jared Young in the head: Luckily, it sounds like a serious injury was avoided: “It was really scary… He’s had CT scan, results have come back negative, so in that sense it’s […] The post “Avoided the Scariest Outcomes” – Mets Manager Says CT Scan on Jared Young Came Back Negative appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Is it Me or Does Matvei Michkov Seem Locked-In as Hell Right Now?
Matvei Michkov had a big summer. He saw two movies. He lost a bunch of weight. He dropped hints that he’d like to move to Feasterville. And at the Flyers first day of camp on Thursday, the third-year winger seemed ready to keep the positive momentum going into the NHL season. First off — and […] The post Is it Me or Does Matvei Michkov Seem Locked-In as Hell Right Now? appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Phillies Postseason: Worried or Not Worried?
The Phillies are playing a very on-brand version of Phillies baseball right now. It feels like no lead is safe, and there isn’t a ton of confidence in the offense to string together runs like they were at the beginning of August. With 10 games to go until the postseason, that’s not a great feeling […] The post Phillies Postseason: Worried or Not Worried? appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Trevor Zegras Has at Least 3 Other Flyers Living in His House
This video just came across my desk: “Hey guys, it’s Trevor Zegras. I think I’m gonna be housing a couple rookies and then I have a ten-year veteran staying in my attic. So we got Barks (Denver Barkey) back, we got Marty (Porter Martone) living in there, and then Christian Dvorak is taking the attic.
