We’re Rich: LeBron James is Projected to Pump $430 Million into Philly’s Economy 

LeBron James signing with the Sixers has already felt like a massive win, and it sounds like it’s about to get even better. According to The Boyd Company, a development consulting group, LeBron could generate between $250-$430 million in and around Philly just by being on the Sixers — and that’s just in his first […] The post We’re Rich: LeBron James is Projected to Pump $430 Million into Philly’s Economy  appeared first on Crossing Broad .

RADIO WARS: Spike Eskin Says He’s Not Doing it for the “Clicks,” but it Sounds Like Audacy Social is

Spike Eskin went on Twitter Saturday and did a three-minute monologue about “clicks.” The background is that he was getting ripped for his reaction to the LeBron James signing. I guess he’s always been anti-LeBron, not totally sure because I don’t listen to “The Ricky,” but that’s the very basic gist. People were giving him […] The post RADIO WARS: Spike Eskin Says He’s Not Doing it for the “Clicks,” but it Sounds Like Audacy Social is appeared first on Crossing Broad .

I Don’t Give a Rat’s Ass if LeBron James Lives in New York City and Commutes to Philly

Kinkead: this report was community noted on X, looks like a bad aggregation: The claim misattributes the information to Brian Windhorst; Shams Charania mentioned the NYC residency and helicopter commute only as an unconfirmed possibility with no official plans announced. But I think the story holds as we explore the topic generically. LeBron James is […] The post I Don’t Give a Rat’s Ass if LeBron James Lives in New York City and Commutes to Philly appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Matt Nagy and the New York Giants Offense Will Give You Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

It’s not even August yet and the Giants have already given us some real good “Wow, they’re gonna be a disaster again” content. We got Cam Skattebo doing backflips fresh off an open tibia fracture and right ankle dislocation. We got John Harbaugh getting torched online for giving a very cringe speech. And now, we […] The post Matt Nagy and the New York Giants Offense Will Give You Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder appeared first on Crossing Broad .

RADIO WARS: Sean Brace Says “Miserable” WIP Hosts are Not Diehard Philadelphia Sports Fans

Sean Brace ripped WIP and Spike Eskin on Friday, after Spike poo-pooed the LeBron James signing: “I can’t believe how miserable those people are. Somebody sent me a video, and look I’ll call it, I don’t care, Spike (Eskin) literally said, like ‘this is the worst day of my life and I’m setting a calendar […] The post RADIO WARS: Sean Brace Says “Miserable” WIP Hosts are Not Diehard Philadelphia Sports Fans appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Ranking Philadelphia’s Top Five Free Agent Signings Since 2000

Have you heard? LeBron James is a Philadelphia 76er. It’s real. It’s damn real. The Sixers have gone through quite a transformative offseason. I think most of us assumed Daryl Morey would return as the general manager, and we started talking ourselves into bringing in marginal guys to hopefully help Tyrese Maxey and V.J. Edgecombe.

You Can Drop the Idiotic “There is Only One Ball” Sixers Takes Right Now

In case you have been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, LeBron James officially chose the Philadelphia 76ers. That’s right. The player many consider the best to ever touch a basketball opted to walk away from the bright lights of Los Angeles to sign the cheapest contract of his career in Philly.

How Does LeBron James Actually Fit on the Sixers?

LeBron James is a lot of things. He’s a 22-time All-Star, a four-time NBA champion, a four-time MVP, a four-time Finals MVP, a former scoring champion, a six-time member of the All-Defensive team, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, and the newest member of the Philadelphia 76ers. While the immediate joyous reactions are warranted, championships are […] The post How Does LeBron James Actually Fit on the Sixers? appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Sixers Reportedly Signing Veteran Guard on Heels of LeBron James Addition

Mike Gansey and the rest of the Sixers front office are not done completing this new-look roster just yet.

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.

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 .

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.

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 .

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
