Phillies React to LeBron James Coming to Philadelphia
Pregame at Citizens Bank Park was busy on Friday. AppleTV in town, Phillies vs Yankees, first round pick Tyler Spangler signed, and more. But nothing was bigger than LeBron James signing with the Sixers, and everybody was talking about it. “I’m sitting downstairs, Louie comes running down the stairs, and yells ‘Dad, LeBron is coming […] The post Phillies React to LeBron James Coming to Philadelphia appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Tyrese Maxey Was Already an All-Time Beloved Philly Athlete. Then He Went Out and Got LeBron James
After the LeBron news dropped this morning, I threw on ESPN in my office to hear what the Worldwide Leader had to say, and it’s been on in the background ever since. First Take was on first, then it went to SportsCenter, then I think it was Pat McAfee, and now it’s NBA Today. Through […] The post Tyrese Maxey Was Already an All-Time Beloved Philly Athlete.

The Good, the Bad, and the Copes: Here are All the Best LeBron-to-Sixers Reactions
LeBron James is coming to Philadelphia, and the world is posting some pretty great reactions. Sixers fans are ecstatic. Fans of pretty much every other team are talking shit or trying to convince themselves that landing LeBron at just $4 million a year is not objectively good. It’s awesome. The excitement, the hate, the copes […] The post The Good, the Bad, and the Copes: Here are All the Best LeBron-to-Sixers Reactions appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Shoutout Mike Gansey, the New King of Philadelphia
Being an NBA GM is not a hard thing. You sign your contract, make two franchise-altering moves to drastically alter the trajectory of your team and improve your championship odds by 600% in less than two months of being on the job, and pick up your paycheck every other Friday. Easy peasy. Not much too […] The post Shoutout Mike Gansey, the New King of Philadelphia appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Matt Cord Definitely Has to Unretire
One of the first things I thought of when the Sixers signed LeBron was that Matt Cord had to unretire. He can’t walk away now. There’s no way you can call it quits. Funny enough, he was down the hall from the Fanatic midday show, doing his WMMR show, so they (presumably) grabbed him real […] The post Matt Cord Definitely Has to Unretire appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Sixers Won 24 Games Two Seasons Ago – is This the Quickest/Most Dramatic Sports Turnaround Ever?
LeBron James is signing with the Sixers. LeBron picked Philly. LeBron James will be playing for the Philadelphia basketball team. It’s an insane thought. I’m having some trouble wrapping my head around this thing. I’m trying to write through it. Gonna have to keep on trying. This will be a process. Trust The Process. LeBron […] The post The Sixers Won 24 Games Two Seasons Ago – is This the Quickest/Most Dramatic Sports Turnaround Ever? appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Just Trying to Wrap My Head Around LeBron James Taking the Veteran Minimum to Join the Sixers
Shams with some more on LeBron: “He made it very clear from the beginning – I wanna compete for a championship. I want to win at at a high level. This is not a money-driven decision. That’s what LeBron James made very clear from the outset of this process, when he decided to leave the […] The post Just Trying to Wrap My Head Around LeBron James Taking the Veteran Minimum to Join the Sixers appeared first on Crossing Broad .
CODE RED, CODE RED: LEBRON JAMES TO THE SIXERS (running thread)
Holy shit lol – I can’t believe it. He’s taking $4 million a year to play here? What else did they offer him? Free membership to Pine Valley, Merion, and Aronimink? Free use of the Josh Harris helicopter? Did they give him a 25% stake in Harris Blitzer Sports and Entertainment? WE ARE ALL THE […] The post CODE RED, CODE RED: LEBRON JAMES TO THE SIXERS (running thread) appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Cecily Tynan Retiring After More Than 30 Years at Action News
Cecily Tynan couldn’t keep calm because she had big news coming up, and after much speculation online and on this website about what it would be, the news is out: Cecily is retiring next month after more than 30 years as an Action News meteorologist: “I have a personal announcement. After more than 30 years […] The post Cecily Tynan Retiring After More Than 30 Years at Action News appeared first on Crossing Broad .
John Clark with a Toilet Flushing Etiquette Question
This was brought to our attention* – “if a lot of people do use their shoe, then it is pretty disgusting to be touching that after all the stuff people have stepped on during the day is on there“ That’s certainly true. If there’s dirty piss water on the floor, and you flush the toilet […] The post John Clark with a Toilet Flushing Etiquette Question appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Howard Eskin Wants to Know Why the Morons, Nitwits, and Dopes at Wawa are Charging So Much For Gas
A bunch of people brought this to our attention. It’s Howard Eskin going after Wawa on Twitter: It’s a fair question. I think the answer to “why does Wawa charge more for gas?” is “Capitalism.” Right? The end. It’s because of Capitalism. Or, more specifically, I think it’s because of convenience and familiarity. If you […] The post Howard Eskin Wants to Know Why the Morons, Nitwits, and Dopes at Wawa are Charging So Much For Gas appeared first on Crossing Broad .
I Don’t Care What Gen Z Says, John Harbaugh’s Introductory Giants Speech Was Not Cringey
John Harbaugh is getting roasted for the introductory speech he gave to the Giants recently. I’ve watched this speech a few times. I’ve looked at it from every angle. I’ve done my due diligence, and I’m firmly planting my flag in the ground: This speech is not cringey. It’s fine. The kids online are wrong: […] The post I Don’t Care What Gen Z Says, John Harbaugh’s Introductory Giants Speech Was Not Cringey appeared first on Crossing Broad .
We Must Do Something About Well-Known Scumbag Dalton Rushing Talking Shit to Bryson Stott
This clip of Dalton Rushing talking some shit to Bryson Stott during the Phillies/Dodgers game on Thursday night has been making the rounds, and I gotta say… it has me pissed… I don’t like what I’m seeing here: The nads on this guy. Acting like he’s not Dalton Rushing. Like he wouldn’t be riding the […] The post We Must Do Something About Well-Known Scumbag Dalton Rushing Talking Shit to Bryson Stott appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Nancy Armour Wrote the Worst Paragraph of All Time
Nancy Armour is a USA Today columnist. She has the byline on a Wednesday story titled “Caitlin Clark’s flopping isn’t just annoying — it’s becoming dangerous | Opinion,” which is making the rounds, and not because it’s a good column. It’s a terrible column, in which Armour argues that Clark has done some recent flopping […] The post Nancy Armour Wrote the Worst Paragraph of All Time appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Bryce Harper and Mookie Betts May Be the First-Ever Athletes to Actually Do an Interesting Podcast
No active athlete has ever said anything interesting on a podcast. Jeff Teague doesn’t count. Active is the key qualifier; I’m talking guys who regularly hop on pods – their own or someone else’s – while they’re still playing professionally. These podcasts are terrible across the board. The Draymond Green Show is dumbass, narcissistic ragebait.

Cecily Tynan Teases a Mysterious “Big News” Announcement
Cecily on Facebook: Yes. This is exactly what we need around these parts on a slow summer Thursday – a vague tease from a hugely popular personality. The post already has 700 replies, because you know how people are with local meteorologists. They love their weather men, and weather women. They’re speculating that Cecily will […] The post Cecily Tynan Teases a Mysterious “Big News” Announcement appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Joshua Kuroda-Grauer Exploding His Own Nuts Has Shot Baseball to the Top of My “Most Dangerous Sports” Rankings
I wonder sometimes, if and when I have kids, whether I’d let them play certain sports. Football seems like a no. That’s a dangerous one. All that tackling. Big hits. Slamming heads into other heads on the line. CTE. You don’t want that. I saw the Will Smith movie. Plus those guys shooting themselves in […] The post Joshua Kuroda-Grauer Exploding His Own Nuts Has Shot Baseball to the Top of My “Most Dangerous Sports” Rankings appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Union are in Great Position to Pull a Philadelphia Flyers and Make an Improbable Run to the Playoffs
The Union dispatched Red Bull at home on Wednesday, 3-1 in their first game back from the two-month World Cup break. Milan Iloski, Indiana Vassilev, and 6’6″, 18-year-old debutant Neil Pierre scored the goals: There is actually a bit of discrepancy here because Pierre says he is 6’7″. That’s what he told reporters after the […] The post The Union are in Great Position to Pull a Philadelphia Flyers and Make an Improbable Run to the Playoffs appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Phillies are Making Embarrassing and Preventable Mistakes
The Phillies dropped two of three to the Los Angeles Dodgers at home, and it looked like they forgot how to play fundamental baseball for a good chunk of those three games. Mistakes are going to happen in baseball. You’re going to have errors, you’re going to have bad stretches of hitting, and you’re going […] The post The Phillies are Making Embarrassing and Preventable Mistakes appeared first on Crossing Broad .
This Philadelphia Parallel Parking Competition is Illegitimate
Craig dropped this in our Slack channel. Apparently there is an organization called the PPPA, the Philadelphia Parallel Parking Association, which is holding a… parallel parking competition at some point in the fall. The rules are as follows: 1. 10–15 participants will be selected to compete based on a combination of parallel parking experience, ability, and […] The post This Philadelphia Parallel Parking Competition is Illegitimate appeared first on Crossing Broad .
LeBron’s Decision May Already Be Made: Let’s Talk the Miami Heat YouTube Leak Situation
In the twenty hours since I last wrote about where LeBron James might play next year, there have been a few big developments. Here they are: Miami Heat’s YouTube Posted a Video Last Night (Tuesday) Titled “LeBron James Introductory Press Conference” This is very funny. Whoever runs the Heat’s socials messed up big time here. […] The post LeBron’s Decision May Already Be Made: Let’s Talk the Miami Heat YouTube Leak Situation appeared first on Crossing Broad .
For Some Reason, GameStop Posted an Old Photo of Lil Uzi Vert Smiling with an Employee After Purchasing GTA V and a Pokemon Plush

Now You Can Listen to WIP’s Insufferable Bullshit on Satellite Radio
People kept sending us this story on Monday, and honestly, we weren’t going to post it. You tell me if this even matters, from the SiriusXM website: SiriusXM is adding 42 of Audacy’s leading sports, news, and talk stations to its already unmatched audio lineup.

Twelve Hours Later and Still No One Knows What the Hell J.T. Realmuto Was Thinking
The Phillies blew their game against the Dodgers on Tuesday night in what could end up being the definitive dumbass loss of the MLB season. Here’s how it went, in short: Bottom of the ninth, Phillies down one, one out, man on second (J.T. Realmuto) and third (Justin Crawford, pinch running for Alec Bohm).

15 Years Ago: A Trade Deadline Featuring Carlos Beltran, Dom Brown, Hunter Pence, and Zack Wheeler
I was looking through the Crossing Broad archives to see what happened 5, 10, and 15 years ago this week. It’s usually a slow sports period, late July, but MLB trade deadline rumors were cooking, and it happens to be the 15th anniversary of a curious turn of events. The Phillies were in the middle […] The post 15 Years Ago: A Trade Deadline Featuring Carlos Beltran, Dom Brown, Hunter Pence, and Zack Wheeler appeared first on Crossing Broad .
