The Flyers Will Rightfully Recognize the Irish with a 2027 Heritage Night
After giving the lousy Italians* a heritage night in 2026, the Flyers will have Irish heritage night in 2027: February 24th, against the Buffalo Sabres. A few weeks before St. Patrick’s Day. All ticket package buyers will receive the clover beanie you see in the picture, which is nice. The Paisans got a black t-shirt […] The post The Flyers Will Rightfully Recognize the Irish with a 2027 Heritage Night appeared first on Crossing Broad .
If the Eagles’ Offensive Line Can Pose Naked, Why Can’t Sydney Sweeney?
There’s been a lot of hubbub about this Sydney Sweeney advertisement for Novig. The reactionary bloviating is dense, and tricky to summarize, but Carlos Rodriguez at the AP did a good job: An advertising campaign featuring American actor Sydney Sweeney has sparked widespread backlash from female athletes who say it is sexualizing women in sports. In the […] The post If the Eagles’ Offensive Line Can Pose Naked, Why Can’t Sydney Sweeney? appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Matt Cord is Returning as Sixers PA Announcer
Just 34 days out from what might be the most anticipated Sixers season ever, fans got yet another reason to be amped on Wednesday morning: Matt Cord announced that he’ll be returning as the team’s PA announcer for one more year: “I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to return to the mic as PA announcer […] The post Matt Cord is Returning as Sixers PA Announcer appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Phillies Have Lost 8 of 12 and Jesus Luzardo is on the Injured List
The Phillies lost 6-3 to the Nats with Cristopher Sanchez giving up five runs on eight hits in 6.1 innings of work. They’ve lost 8 of 12 and Jesus Luzardo is injured: Luzardo pitched a complete game shutout in his last outing, which was September 7th. Maybe that wasn’t ideal in hindsight, but they didn’t […] The post The Phillies Have Lost 8 of 12 and Jesus Luzardo is on the Injured List appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Who’s Been Keeping Matvei Michkov Away From Lower Bucks and its Top-Notch Russian Bathhouses?
As Kinker wrote last week, Matvei Michkov mentioned that the only downside to Philadelphia is that there are no Russian bathhouses. Michkov really likes these banyas, and he didn’t just say it once. He said it many, many times in a clip that’s only twenty-seven seconds long: Let me just drop a super subtle hint […] The post Who’s Been Keeping Matvei Michkov Away From Lower Bucks and its Top-Notch Russian Bathhouses? appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Even the Camera in the Phillies’ TV Booth Had Enough of This Game
The Phillies blew another one – this time to the Washington Nationals. Cristopher Sánchez barely got through 6.1 innings before being lifted in the 7th inning with two on and one out. Enter Jonathan Bowlan, who has been running on fumes for the last month. And on his first pitch… Phillies lose. The lineup is […] The post Even the Camera in the Phillies’ TV Booth Had Enough of This Game appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Browns Fan Asks if He Can Defect to the Eagles
Saw this on Reddit and had a laugh: Are yall accepting refugees by u/DJdaJDofficial in eagles “Browns fan here and I can’t do it anymore. Diddy Watson is our qb. Nick Chubb just retired. I love my team but wtf 3-32 against the jags. I’m only a Browns fan bc my dad is a giants […] The post Browns Fan Asks if He Can Defect to the Eagles appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Ivy League Bringing Conference Basketball Tournament to… Allentown?
College basketball sicko Jon Rothstein had it first: And the press release: PRINCETON, N.J. — The Ivy League will bring the excitement of Ivy Madness to the Lehigh Valley beginning in 2028, as the league announced today a three-year agreement for its annual men’s and women’s basketball tournaments to be held at PPL Center in Allentown, […] The post Ivy League Bringing Conference Basketball Tournament to… Allentown? appeared first on Crossing Broad .
James Franklin Being Weird in Blacksburg
What’s going on in this video? What is James Franklin doing? My instinct is to give Franklin the benefit of the doubt here and assume there must have been some sort of technical issue going on. It’s the only way I can wrap my head around someone acting like this. Maybe Franklin couldn’t hear the […] The post James Franklin Being Weird in Blacksburg appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Non-Philly School Villanova Will Play Two Big East Games at Xfinity Mobile Arena
The Big East released its conference schedule for 2026-2027, and it looks like Villanova will be playing Saint John’s and UConn at Xfinity Mobile Area: If I can be honest in this blog here, it’s always bothered me a little that Villanova plays their big games at whatever we’re calling the basketball arena in the […] The post Non-Philly School Villanova Will Play Two Big East Games at Xfinity Mobile Arena appeared first on Crossing Broad .

The Neshaminy Mall Will Be Demolished in December
This is a sad day, but one we all must’ve known was coming sooner or later: Jo Ciavaglia and JD Mullane of the Bucks County Courier Times reported on Monday that the Neshaminy Mall will be closing soon, with demolition of much of the mall scheduled to begin in December. From the piece: Bucks County’s first […] The post The Neshaminy Mall Will Be Demolished in December appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Some Thoughts on this Gallup Poll, and the Youths Moving Away from Football
Everybody is talking about this new Gallup poll, which reveals the popularity of certain sports among different age groups: The full report is linked here, but the graphic in the story that’s getting the most traction was shared by Taylor Twellman and others: The first thing that jumped out to me was baseball. No surprise […] The post Some Thoughts on this Gallup Poll, and the Youths Moving Away from Football appeared first on Crossing Broad .
RADIO WARS: Adam Smith Joining 97.5 the Fanatic
Dunno if this counts as RADIO WARS, but I think more people click on it if we write RADIO WARS. Smitty of Barstool fame is joining the Fanatic: Smitty says he’s in the suburbs and living the dad life and ready to get “back into the weeds” with Philly sports. Marks asked him to provide […] The post RADIO WARS: Adam Smith Joining 97.5 the Fanatic appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Landon Dickerson to IR
Injury news: Dickerson told the WIP guys on Monday night that he “played like shit” in the Washington game, explaining that he was rolled up in practice a few weeks ago. The film showed a left guard who didn’t look anything like the guy we saw two seasons ago, during the Super Bowl run. He […] The post Landon Dickerson to IR appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Makai Lemon Had a Quiet NFL Debut, But Came Up With a Big Block on the Game’s Biggest Play
Makai Lemon didn’t exactly pop in the Eagles’ Week 1 win over the Commanders. The rookie receiver’s stat line was pretty awful: he caught 3 of his 4 targets for -5 receiving yards (with catches of 3, -5, and -3 yards). Operating as the Eagles’ WR3 and playing 36 of 56 offensive snaps (64.3%), most […] The post Makai Lemon Had a Quiet NFL Debut, But Came Up With a Big Block on the Game’s Biggest Play appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Some Stray Thoughts on Tom Brady Inventing the Phrase “Like a Butterfly With Sore Legs”
Kinkead / 9:25 p.m. – it appears as though Brady tried to use an old golf idiom and got it wrong, hence the widespread confusion. The saying is actually “like a butterfly with sore feet,” not “like a butterfly with sore legs.” I guess it’s an saying that old golfers use, but we don’t have […] The post Some Stray Thoughts on Tom Brady Inventing the Phrase “Like a Butterfly With Sore Legs” appeared first on Crossing Broad .
It’s 2026 and Carson Wentz is Slinging Darts in an NFL Game
The year is 2026 and Carson Wentz is playing good football. The hell’s going on there? Look at this: He didn’t start the game, of course. Kyler Murray is the Vikings QB1, but went down in the first quarter with a head injury after this late hit: The Vikings then turned to Carson Wentz to […] The post It’s 2026 and Carson Wentz is Slinging Darts in an NFL Game appeared first on Crossing Broad .
RADIO WARS: 97.5 the Fanatic Program Director Retiring

The NFL Should Bring Back the Pro Bowl, for Braden Mann
The Eagles beat the Commanders 24-22 on Sunday evening, and I’m not sure it would’ve happened without punter Braden Mann. He was so damn good. To recap quickly: Mann punted 7 times for 361 gross yards (51.6 gross average) and 308 net yards (44.0 net average). His long for the night was 64 yards, and […] The post The NFL Should Bring Back the Pro Bowl, for Braden Mann appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Union are a Wagon and Cavan Sullivan is the Driver
Cavan Sullivan scored twice in the Union’s 5-0 road win against San Diego on Sunday night: Five goals and seven assists in the 16-year-old’s last seven games. He’s started every MLS match since the World Cup break and logged 820 minutes in that time frame. The Union are now unbeaten in their last 10 league […] The post The Union are a Wagon and Cavan Sullivan is the Driver appeared first on Crossing Broad .
If Cowboy Lover Dean Blandino Says it’s a Legal Play, Then it’s a Legal Play
There was some hubbub about the Eagles’ game-winning touchdown on Sunday afternoon. Washington’s defense was caught flat footed and apparently thought that there was an illegal procedure or false start before the snap, but Dean Blandino came on the broadcast afterward to say it was clean: Dean Blandino on whether this was a penalty pic.twitter.com/FKnREQ72mE […] The post If Cowboy Lover Dean Blandino Says it’s a Legal Play, Then it’s a Legal Play appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Eagles Might Be the Worst Bubble Screen Team in All of Football (College and Pro)
The Eagles ran three sideways screens on Sunday afternoon: The first one was blown up because Dontayvion Wicks totally whiffed on a block. They ran Lemon across the formation with orbit motion and had numbers against a Washington blitz, but took a big loss to set up 2nd and 24. The second one went nowhere […] The post The Eagles Might Be the Worst Bubble Screen Team in All of Football (College and Pro) appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Thank You, Stefon Diggs, For Your Touchdown Celebration Penalty
Stefon Diggs had a good Commanders debut (4 receptions on 9 targets for 55 yards and 1 touchdown), but I think it’s safe to say Washington fans would feel a whole lot better if the veteran receiver omitted this truly dumbass touchdown celebration: The touchdown made the score 17-15 Eagles. Washington was looking to go […] The post Thank You, Stefon Diggs, For Your Touchdown Celebration Penalty appeared first on Crossing Broad .
I Can’t Believe the Commies Called a Shovel Pass to John Bates with the Game on the Line
If you were a Washington Communist fan, this would drive you crazy, right? Couple of things here: Commie fans will probably be annoyed by this. That’s unfortunate for them.
