Ben Simmons Returns to the NBA, Thankfully Not With the Sixers
Ben to the Kings: This is the perfect landing spot for Ben. Sacramento is a terrible, small market team that hasn’t won a playoff series in more than 20 years. There will be no eyeballs on that team. No expectations, no scrutiny, nobody even caring. He can go through the motions out there and collect […] The post Ben Simmons Returns to the NBA, Thankfully Not With the Sixers appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Rutgers is Only Chopping Two Things Right Now: Jack and Shit
Rutgers opened on Thursday night as a -29.5 favorite against the UMass Minutemen, who had four wins and 30 losses over their past three seasons.

A Film Review of “No One Died: The Wing Bowl Story”
I wrote on Wednesday about the Wing Bowl documentary making it to streamers after premiering at the Calgary Underground Film Fest, and I must admit, I was convinced by my own blog that I had to watch this film. So that’s what I did last night and this morning. In short, this documentary is excellent. […] The post A Film Review of “No One Died: The Wing Bowl Story” appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Villanova Won a Soccer Game Despite Being Outshot 43 to 8
This is wild: Fordham took 43 shots and scored 0 goals. How is that possible? You take that many shots and surely you get a deflection or a rebound or someone makes a mistake. Something like that. Furthermore, the official box score says the Rams only put 14 of their 43 shots on target, which […] The post Villanova Won a Soccer Game Despite Being Outshot 43 to 8 appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Get Ready for V.J. Edgecombe to go Mainstream
The Sixers are going to be at the center of the sports universe this season. LeBron James and Jaylen Brown have injected a necessary spark of life into a franchise that has failed to reach their postseason goal going on almost 10 years now. There’s legitimate buzz and hope in a way that has been […] The post Get Ready for V.J. Edgecombe to go Mainstream appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Shout Out to the Guy Who Wore Eagles Chain Mail to the Renaissance Fair
A photo of a guy at the Renaissance fair wearing full Eagles chain mail armor has crossed my desk: Full disclosure, I did not know what I was looking at here for a while. I thought this was just some regular guy in a very long knit sweater, like the kind grandmas and elderly woman […] The post Shout Out to the Guy Who Wore Eagles Chain Mail to the Renaissance Fair appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Phillies Won a Series in Arizona for Just the Third Time in the Last Decade

Feeling Good About the Eagles After Jalen Hurts Debuts Fred Durst Look
Credit to BLG for spotting Jalen Hurts with the Fred Durst look in a recent video: It comes from the Eagles’ YouTube channel, which we can’t share in here because the NFL blocks all social media embeds. We’d love to share, but alas, we cannot, so here’s a screenshot: And here’s Fred in the June, […] The post Feeling Good About the Eagles After Jalen Hurts Debuts Fred Durst Look appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Onion Weaponizes Eagles’ Success to Dunk on Jets
Here’s the headline from The Onion: EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ—Hoping that imagery strongly associated with success and winning will reignite fan enthusiasm, the New York Jets unveiled a line of “Philadelphia Eagles”–themed alternate jerseys Thursday in an effort to boost merchandise sales. “After several difficult seasons, we wanted to give Jets fans a shade of green […] The post The Onion Weaponizes Eagles’ Success to Dunk on Jets appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Jesus Luzardo Has the Best ERA in Baseball Since August 1st
Ho hum, just another lights out performance from Jesus Luzardo. He went 6.2 innings on Tuesday night in Arizona, allowing just one run on six hits while striking out six and walking one batter. Funny thing is that he was annoyed that he couldn’t close the door in the 7th inning: Now that’s a competitor!

Change is the Only Constant, as Jim Gardner Shaves His Mustache
Change is never easy. As humans, we are all drawn to familiarity, to routine, to safety – and with Cecily Tynan signing off with her final Action News broadcast on Monday, countless Philadelphians are now left scrambling, trying to reorient themselves to a new, unfamiliar, Cecily-less world. And sadly, the change doesn’t end there. News […] The post Change is the Only Constant, as Jim Gardner Shaves His Mustache appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Lincoln Riley Put a James Franklin Spin on USC Playing in Front of an Empty Coliseum
USC played in Week 0, beating San Jose State 42-26 in front of a SPARSE home crowd: Looks like a Temple game at Lincoln Financial Field. Apparently it was really hot out in LA last weekend, and San Jose State isn’t some sexy opponent. There wasn’t a lot of hype for the game. But Southern […] The post Lincoln Riley Put a James Franklin Spin on USC Playing in Front of an Empty Coliseum appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Jalen Hurts Name Drops Jeff McLane and “Eliot Short-Whatever-His-Name-is” in GQ Interview
This video clip is all over social. It’s from a Jalen Hurts sit down interview for GQ: My first reaction was actually “why is Hurts mentioning Jeff McLane and Eliot Short-whatever-his-name in a GQ interview?” Looking through the YouTube video, which is about 45 minutes, this comes up when interviewer Zach Baron begins to end […] The post Jalen Hurts Name Drops Jeff McLane and “Eliot Short-Whatever-His-Name-is” in GQ Interview appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Disrespectful Penn State Blog Ranks Temple as Worst Football Opponent
I was made aware of a blog post from Jason Perry at Onward State, titled Power Ranking Penn State Football’s 2026 Opponents. Perry puts Temple dead last, writing this: Temple is a mid-tier Group of Five school that finished the 2025 season with a 5-7 record. Even if the Owls remarkably improve this year, I […] The post Disrespectful Penn State Blog Ranks Temple as Worst Football Opponent appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Saint Joe’s Social Accounts Wished Phil Martelli a Happy Birthday, Which Doesn’t Sound Like a Big Deal, But it is
The quiet beef between Saint Joseph’s University and Phil Martelli is something I think about a good amount. I’ve written about it a few times on this website and, it should go without saying, the strained standoff between my alma mater and our illustrious coach bums me out. I love Phil. Phil’s the man.

Bryce Harper Had a Pretty Elite August
The Phillies won 21 games in the month of August, which is the second-most wins in a single month in franchise history. A lot of it had to do with Bryce Harper.

Pete Prisco is Back on His Trevor Lawrence Bullshit
Pete Prisco is a Senior NFL Columnist for CBSSports.com. CBS put out a video after Super Bowl 59 in which Prisco claimed he would take Dak Prescott, C.J. Stroud, Baker Mayfield, and Justin Herbert over Jalen Hurts, while calling a Hurts/Trevor Lawrence comparison “even.” Then we was trounced by Barstool’s Max Dolente for his idiotic […] The post Pete Prisco is Back on His Trevor Lawrence Bullshit appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Ketel Marte Should Come to Philadelphia and Receive a Standing Ovation from Jack Fritz and Philly Captain
The Phillies took out the Diamondbacks 2-1 on Monday night, but the big story on Action News was the return of Ketel Marte, who no-showed a recent game and was placed on the restricted list.
