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. And […] The post The Saint Joe’s Social Accounts Wished Phil Martelli a Happy Birthday, Which Doesn’t Sound Like a Big Deal, But it is appeared first on Crossing Broad .

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. He says he woke up that particular morning in some pain and basically went AWOL instead of reporting, then was […] The post Ketel Marte Should Come to Philadelphia and Receive a Standing Ovation from Jack Fritz and Philly Captain appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Bryson Stott Murdered a Baseball
The Phillies beat the Diamondbacks 2-1 in the first game of a three-game series in Arizona on Monday night, and if you didn’t get to to watch, allow me to fill you in on the clear high water mark of the evening – Bryson Stott clobbered the hell out of a baseball for his tenth […] The post Bryson Stott Murdered a Baseball appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Naomi Osaka Channeling Allen Iverson Was Not on the Bingo Card, But it Was Cool
This is random? And pretty sick: “For me, he’s a trailblazer. I think he’s also someone I look up to a lot because he’s kind of done a lot in fashion, whether it’s on purpose or not. But he’s shifted the way NBA players dress, and I also think the whole conversation around clothes in […] The post Naomi Osaka Channeling Allen Iverson Was Not on the Bingo Card, But it Was Cool appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Eagles Practice Squad Includes Uar Bernard and Joshua Weru
The Eagles’ practice squad: The notable names here are Uar Bernard and Joshua Weru, who were waived on Sunday and available to be picked up by another team.

Contrary to R&B Singer and Actor Tyrese’s Instagram, Allen Iverson is Not Becoming a Sixers Owner
This is a strange story. There are a few parts of it I don’t really get. But we can unpack that a little later. Let me get you all caught up here first. Starting at the start, here’s the tweet I saw: This tweet has over four thousand likes, which, to me, signaled a level […] The post Contrary to R&B Singer and Actor Tyrese’s Instagram, Allen Iverson is Not Becoming a Sixers Owner appeared first on Crossing Broad .
KCP’s Apartment Being Struck by Lightning is Actually a Good Omen, as Once-in-a-Lifetime, Ultra-Rare Stuff is Happening for the Sixers

Bet Against the Father Judge Crusaders at Your Own Peril
Did you see these clips? Father Judge played Archbishop Ryan in Northeast Philly on Saturday.

Bloodthirsty Jaylen Brown Says His Mentality for This Season is “Kill”
Whoah, we’ve got a pretty metal quote from Jaylen Brown on a recent live stream: “I’ll be listening and I’ll be waiting, but my mentality is ‘kill,’ you know what I mean? I feel like I want blood this year. You know what I mean? I feel like that’s the mentality. I want blood.” God […] The post Bloodthirsty Jaylen Brown Says His Mentality for This Season is “Kill” appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Aaron Donald Comes Out of Retirement to Join the Old-Ass Rams and Lose to the Eagles
The news: The Rams were already Super Bowl favorites, and now that they’re adding Aaron Donald, they’re pretty much being crowned champs already. And I get it, in a way. It’s a big addition. It’s a big story. Aaron Donald is probably the best defensive tackle ever. I just took a look at some of […] The post Aaron Donald Comes Out of Retirement to Join the Old-Ass Rams and Lose to the Eagles appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Villanova Needs That Ohio Judge to Grant a Preliminary Injunction Overturning Their Preposterous Choke Job
I’m still trying to process what happened on Friday night over on the Main Line. Ranked Villanova scored two touchdowns late in the fourth quarter against William and Mary, took a 10-point lead, and then inexplicably lost in regulation: This has to be typed out sequentially because it’s so stupid: It was unbelievable. The choke […] The post Villanova Needs That Ohio Judge to Grant a Preliminary Injunction Overturning Their Preposterous Choke Job appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Cavan Sullivan is the Real Deal
The Union won in New York, err, Harrison, New Jersey on Saturday night, extending their unbeaten run to seven MLS games post-World Cup. 16-year-old Cavan Sullivan scored again in the 3-1 triumph: Everything about this goal is great. Lovely diagonal from Danley Jean-Jacques, then a soft first touch from Cavan into the box. He chops […] The post Cavan Sullivan is the Real Deal appeared first on Crossing Broad .

The Phillies Just Keep Finding Ways to Win
Finding different ways to win in professional sports is a trait that not everybody has. You see football teams strictly rely on the passing game. You see soccer teams try to rely on one or two players for the entire 90 minutes. If the star of a basketball team doesn’t drop 30 points a night, […] The post The Phillies Just Keep Finding Ways to Win appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Chuck from Mount Airy (or Maybe His Doppelganger) Stars in the Funniest Video of the Week
A reader sent this over.

The Villanova Quarterback Situation Kind of Stinks
Let’s get the latest on the Villanova quarterback situation: “We’re still figuring out what’s happening there with the Pat McQuaide situation.

Saw this one on the timeline and clipped it before it was deleted. It’s from former Eagle Shaun Bradley, responding to the Birds fan who is peddling the Haason Reddick and A.J.

John Harbaugh Wants Cam Skattebo to be Infectious in a Good Way, Not in a Disease-like Way
Little bit of drama coming out of Giants camp on Wednesday, so let’s break it down sequentially. First, there was a bit of a kerfuffle involving Cam Skattebo, which was reported somewhat differently from various beats: Giants lineman Jermaine Eluemunor didn’t like how Leonard described the situation, and took to social media to poo-poo the […] The post John Harbaugh Wants Cam Skattebo to be Infectious in a Good Way, Not in a Disease-like Way appeared first on Crossing Broad .
