Full disclosure: I’m not sure I fully understand FIFA’s stance on tailgating. After reading up on it, it sounds like FIFA doesn’t like tailgating for two main reasons. 1) It’s a North American phenomenon that most countries don’t even know about, and 2) FIFA would rather fans party at their sponsored fan fests. Reading between […]

Official for South Philly: Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Garry was the rumored main event for this card, and it is a bona fide banger. Islam is the pound-for-pound #1 fighter in the entire promotion and Garry is 17-1. He is the real deal. This is one of the best title fights you can make across […]

Vince Goodwill popped off with one of the best, wildest takes I’ve heard in a long time Wednesday morning on Get Up. It was awesome: “I think dynasty is better for the sport, because if we’re gonna look at the way that that the NBA experienced its golden age, those two decades where we went […]

Mike Gansey apologized to Jesus Luzardo for mushing his no-hitter on Tuesday night: If we know anything about 40-something WVU graduates with graying beards, longish hair, and multiple children, it’s that they are honorable individuals. We’re talking about principled men and women who step up and take responsibility for their actions, unlike Pitt alumni. You’d […]

It’s June in Philadelphia, which can only mean one thing: It’s Kyle Schwarber season – The home run Kyle blasted on Tuesday night against the Marlins was his 25th of the season (on June 16th! Through just 73 games! There’s so much season left!), and made him the current home run leader in baseball: If […]

Ho hum, another win for the Phils. They’re 40-33 and would be 1st place right now if they played in the AL Central or AL West. Alas, they’re seven games behind the Braves in the NL East, and 8-2 in Jesus Luzardo’s last 10 starts: Since 4/28, the Phils have wins against the Marlins (2x), […]

There was an Instagram collab on Tuesday between the City of Philadelphia, SEPTA, World Cup 2026 organizers, the airport, and the Office of Special Events. Each org shared some numbers about the tournament’s first weekend, which featured four days at the Lemon Hill fan festival and Sunday’s Ecuador vs. Ivory Coast game at the Linc: […]

Sublime is back with a new album, featuring the original lineup with the late Bradley Nowell’s son Jakob filling in as singer and frontman, and Pitchfork are not fans. The notoriously insufferable music publication gave Until The Sun Explodes a 4.7 out of 10, which is a wildly low score. For context, Pitchfork’s average score […]

Tuesday night’s Phillies game featured the TV broadcast crew taking in the game from the seats. It’s something they do annually. This year, they were parked right behind home plate and were visible for every single pitch. They had a few guests join them, including Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet, before the new Sixers President […]

The Phillies’ Fourth of July jerseys and hats have been revealed, and with America 250 celebrations making this Independence Day extra noteworthy, MLB took some pretty big swings with the design: Here’s how we’re going to do this. First, I’m going to present you with some takes from around the internet. Then I will tell […]

Zack Wheeler put on a show from the bump on Monday night as the Phillies handily beat the Marlins 7-0. This clip of Owen Caissie challenging Wheeler’s called strike three on a nasty cutter tells pretty much the whole story: This clip rules. Caissie looked utterly shocked to see that Wheeler’s cutter – which did […]

The Canes won the Stanley Cup. Awesome team. A total wagon. And I’ll tell what, these shirtless photos of Rod Brind’Amour are insane: They don’t call him “Rod the Bod” for no reason, but the man is 55 years old and last played hockey in 2010. I didn’t look like that at 21, 31, or […]

Things are starting to slow down a bit around these parts, so we bring it back to the Random Philadelphia Phillie of the Day, and today the the name that came out of the hat is Randy Ready. Ready’s name sounded vaguely familiar to me as an “Elder Millennial,” and it turns out Ready was […]

The Phils defeated the Marlins 7-0 at home on Monday night. They’re now 39-33 and 7.5 games behind the Braves. Gabriel Rincones Jr., called up after the Adolis Garcia injury, hit his first major league home run: I have to say I’m impressed with the casual home run pimpage and bat flip. It’s all part […]

I’m learning a lot about squatters today. Pretty fascinating stuff. Let me get you up to speed here on all my new squatter knowledge. First things first: Beyond the definition, I learned there’s a new TV show about it on A&E called Squatters. Here’s the IMDB description: Flash Shelton and his team confront squatters nationwide, […]
