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
Some weeks there are good tweets, some weeks there aren’t. This week, we’re lucky. We’ve been blessed with a great one: Everything about this tweet rules. Things About This Tweet I Find Particularly Enjoyable -GameStop not knowing that the rapper in the photo is the very famous, Philly-native, multimillionaire rapper Lil Uzi Vert. -GameStop potentially […] The post For Some Reason, GameStop Posted an Old Photo of Lil Uzi Vert Smiling with an Employee After Purchasing GTA V and a Pokemon Plus...
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. Starting September 1, just in time for football season, SiriusXM listeners can tune in to 23 […] The post Now You Can Listen to WIP’s Insufferable Bullshit on Satellite Radio appeared first on Crossing Broad .
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 .
Chip Kelly Looking Like a Philadelphia Construction Foreman at Northwestern’s New Stadium Tour
Chip Kelly spoke on Tuesday as the Northwestern Wildcats held a media tour of their new football stadium: All business. A hard hat, lunch pail type of guy. He looks like one of the blue collar union laborers who rebuilt I-95 in just three days: “Buckley and Company! Three days!” (via @yomemo03 on TikTok) Chip […] The post Chip Kelly Looking Like a Philadelphia Construction Foreman at Northwestern’s New Stadium Tour appeared first on Crossing Broad .

We have a breaking news situation just reported to Crossing Broad headquarters. At long last, the $1.25 million new construction Fishtown house is finally under contract:** This thing was first listed back in January of 2024, so it finally sold 27 months later for about $700,000.

The Phillies Found Another Braindead Way of Losing to the Dodgers
We all remember October. Kerk on the mound in Los Angeles. The Throw. We remember. While that was certainly laden with more pressure than a regular season game on July 21st, the Phillies decided to even up this current three-game series against the Dodgers by taking part in another humiliating loss to them, this time […] The post The Phillies Found Another Braindead Way of Losing to the Dodgers appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Time for Another LeBron James and Philadelphia 76ers Check-in

The Phillies are Calling Up Bryan De La Cruz
The Phillies announced that they’re calling up Bryan De La Cruz ahead of Tuesday night’s game vs. the Dodgers.

Trevor Zegras Cut His Hair, and No Longer Looks Like Jeff Spicoli
Trevor Zegras has a new contract worth $9.1 million AAV and a new haircut: Looks good, but the problem is that we can’t do Jeff Spicoli jokes if he has short hair. We can’t riff on the relaxed surfer nature of the Philadelphia Flyers’ highest-paid player. Which, by the way, doesn’t even make sense, because […] The post Trevor Zegras Cut His Hair, and No Longer Looks Like Jeff Spicoli appeared first on Crossing Broad .
I Miss When Atlantic City Was Powerful Enough to Make Dennis Rodman Lose Track of an Entire Day and Miss His Game
Remember when Atlantic City used to draw professional athletes to town to hang out and almost ruin their lives in a fun way? Dennis Rodman does: “I missed one game – I was having such a goddamn good time, I went to a strip club in New York, and then I left the strip club […] The post I Miss When Atlantic City Was Powerful Enough to Make Dennis Rodman Lose Track of an Entire Day and Miss His Game appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Tough Night for MLB Umpire Bill Miller, Who Was Called a “Fucking Fatass” After Disrupting a Ground Ball
I’ll start with an advisory here: This video may make you feel bad. It’s not nice. Proceed with caution: Not cool! Bill Miller, the umpire who is being berated by Reds pitcher Caleb Ferguson, didn’t even do anything wrong. The ball was hit to short. That’s the shortstop’s play to make. Miller didn’t expect the […] The post Tough Night for MLB Umpire Bill Miller, Who Was Called a “Fucking Fatass” After Disrupting a Ground Ball appeared first on Crossing Broad .
I Don’t Think the Guy from the Phillies Karen 2.0 Video Meets the Criteria for “Wrong Game Dickhead”
In litigating the Phillies Karen 2.0 situation of Monday night, I’ve come across some comments accusing Eagles jersey guy of being a “wrong game dickhead” – I’m not sure when or where “wrong game dickhead” began. It’s always been something that people have talked about and thought about, the concept of going to a sporting […] The post I Don’t Think the Guy from the Phillies Karen 2.0 Video Meets the Criteria for “Wrong Game Dickhead” appeared first on Crossing Broad .

ESPN is going through another layoff round. According to multiple reports, the following personalities are out: Ryan Clark, Karl Ravech, Tom Pelissero, David Lloyd, Charles Davis, and Stephania Bell.

There’s a New Phillies Karen and I Think This One’s Worse Than the Original (UPDATED)
The Phillies beat the Dodgers 10-7 on Monday night, but the biggest story of the evening didn’t happen on the field – it happened in the outfield stands, where two guys argued over who was the rightful owner of a home run ball: Many online are pointing out the similarities between this wild exchange and […] The post There’s a New Phillies Karen and I Think This One’s Worse Than the Original (UPDATED) appeared first on Crossing Broad .
30 Questions and Prompts that Nick Sirianni May Have Run Through ChatGPT
Nick Sirianni seems to be leaning into his CEO-leadership style by doing the most CEO shit imaginable: misguidedly embracing AI. According to Zach Berman at The Athletic, the Eagles head coach has been using ChatGPT throughout the offseason to refresh his locker room approach, which he feared was getting stale: PHILADELPHIA — Nick Sirianni discovered […] The post 30 Questions and Prompts that Nick Sirianni May Have Run Through ChatGPT appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Trea Turner Played a Wild Baseball Game on Monday Night
Monday night may have been the craziest baseball game of Trea Turner’s 12-year career. Turner has been struggling on the defensive side of the ball. He has four errors in the last week, and is up to 15 errors on the year, after only committing 8 in 2025. The miscues did not stop on Monday […] The post Trea Turner Played a Wild Baseball Game on Monday Night appeared first on Crossing Broad .
