Flyers Will Play 19 Nationally Broadcasted Games, but None Against Ducks
Lots of press releases today. Here’s one from the Flyers: The National Hockey League, in conjunction with their United States media broadcast rightsholders, ESPN, The Walt Disney Company (TWDC) and TNT, announced today the national broadcast schedule for all 32 clubs for the 2026-27 regular season.

Jeffrey Lurie is Going into the Eagles Hall of Fame
Inbox: Not gonna lie, I thought Lurie was already in the Hall of Fame. Guess not. Though he is the team’s owner, so he could probably put himself in the Hall of Fame whenever he feels like it. He could tell the selection committee, “alright, you motherfuckers are gonna put me in this year.” But […] The post Jeffrey Lurie is Going into the Eagles Hall of Fame appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Pro Football Focus Says Eagles Have NFL’s Second-Best Linebacker Group
You know the rules – Pro Football Focus data is pointless and makes no sense, unless it’s favorable to the Eagles. In which case, we share this: It’s still somewhat jarring to think that the Eagles have these incredible linebackers. Zack Baun, Jihaad Campbell, Trot Jr. currently, and then Nakobe Dean, 2022 T.J. Edwards, and […] The post Pro Football Focus Says Eagles Have NFL’s Second-Best Linebacker Group appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Excitement for an Open Practice Wheel Route Shows Just How Much Eagles Fans Were Starving for Some Offensive Creativity
Combing through some of the video from Tuesday night’s open practice and this one stood out: Lemon TD by u/Bulldawgzz in eagles Why did it stand out? Well, probably because the Birds lined up a receiver in the backfield and then had him run a wheel route. Yeah, the defense was all of whack, but […] The post Excitement for an Open Practice Wheel Route Shows Just How Much Eagles Fans Were Starving for Some Offensive Creativity appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Governor Shapiro Says Eagles’ Future Home is “in the City of Philadelphia”
The Gov was at Eagles open practice on Tuesday night and he spoke with the on-hand scribes: View this post on Instagram A post shared by CBS Philadelphia (@cbsphiladelphia) “I appreciate the way Don (Smolenski) and Jeffrey (Lurie) and the entire franchise are thinking really critically about what they want for the future of a […] The post Governor Shapiro Says Eagles’ Future Home is “in the City of Philadelphia” appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Former Union Player Scored an Absolute Belter in the UEFA Champions League
Sam Adeniran played seven games for the Philadelphia Union in 2024 and did not score a goal. Here he is on Tuesday evening with a banger against Celtic F.C. in the UEFA Champions League play off: What a hit! That’s 25 yards out, a one-time side foot hit, just floated into the corner. Sometimes you […] The post Former Union Player Scored an Absolute Belter in the UEFA Champions League appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Kevin Hayes is Off to Russia
NHL news: Hayes is 34 now. He played his last two NHL years for the Penguins but only featured in 28 games this past season and wasn’t used in the playoffs. It would have made for a semi-storyline if he was on the ice against the Flyers, who gave him a seven-year contract worth $50 […] The post Kevin Hayes is Off to Russia appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Larry Bowa is Going to Murder Someone at Verizon if the Wi-Fi Isn’t Fixed
Looks like Larry Bowa is having some serious Wi-Fi issues: Looks like the former Phillies skipper has been having these intermittent internet issues since late July. Where does he live, in the middle of nowhere? Maybe he needs one of those Elon Musk Starlink units for 200 MBPS connectivity, starting at $85 a month. That’s […] The post Larry Bowa is Going to Murder Someone at Verizon if the Wi-Fi Isn’t Fixed appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Rush Shouted Out the Late Pierre Robert at Philly Show
On a slow sports day in late August, we will share this cool video of Rush shouting out the late Pierre Robert at one of their recent Philly shows: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Radio Sara (@radio_sara) “Before this next song, I’d like say something about someone we knew here in […] The post Rush Shouted Out the Late Pierre Robert at Philly Show appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Oh baby we are ready for football: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Stateside Live! (@statesideliveofficial) This is DJ Pauly D from Jersey Shore fame.

Zack Wheeler Just Doesn’t Have it
Unless you’re the 1972 Miami Dolphins, all winning streaks must come to an end. For the Phillies, it’ll go down as a nine-game streak after they were thumped 9-2 by the Mariners in Seattle on Monday night. Zack Wheeler had nothing from the jump, giving up two first inning home runs and shipping five runs […] The post Zack Wheeler Just Doesn’t Have it appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Is Philadelphia the Worst College Football City in America?
College football begins on Saturday, and with it comes seasonal depression: Is Philadelphia the worst college football city in America? You could loosely define this as “lack of interest/local program kind of stinks.” These are the things working against us: Honestly, you could make a case for any big city in the Northeastern United States.

Five Online Courses that Rocco Becht Could Take at Penn State
If you missed it last week, there was some hubbub about Penn State transfer quarterback Rocco Becht telling reporters that he’s taking one class this fall, and it’s not going to be inside of a building. This is from Krutik Jain at Yahoo Sports: Having already graduated from Iowa State in December 2025 with a communications degree, […] The post Five Online Courses that Rocco Becht Could Take at Penn State appeared first on Crossing Broad .
31 Things That Happened Since the Last Phillies Walk-Off Home Run
The streak… is over. After three-plus long years, the Phillies finally hit a walk-off home run on Sunday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. The hero was Kyle Schwarber, who hit the last walk-off homer for the Phils on June 9th, 2023 against the Dodgers. It ended the longest active MLB streak for a team without […] The post 31 Things That Happened Since the Last Phillies Walk-Off Home Run appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Union Technically Going on Three Months Now Without an MLS Loss
Okay, so the headline is kind of cheap because of the World Cup break, but the Union haven’t lost a league game since May 24th, when they shipped six goals to Inter Miami. They’re 4-0-2 since, and collected a road point with a 1-1 draw in Austin on Saturday night: This certainly looks like a […] The post Union Technically Going on Three Months Now Without an MLS Loss appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Philadelphia Sports Fans Put on White Sox Gear and Deliver Flying Ninja Kicks to Downed Opponents
More bad behavior from Philly sports fans. This past weekend, they went out to Rate Field in Chicago’s south side, put on White Sox colors, and beat the tar out of each other: There is quite a bit going on here, so let’s break it down: The thing that stands out most about this video […] The post Philadelphia Sports Fans Put on White Sox Gear and Deliver Flying Ninja Kicks to Downed Opponents appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Nine Statistics from the Phillies’ Nine-Game Winning Streak
The Philadelphia Phillies are on FIRE! They’ve won nine games in a row, beginning with the Field of Dreams game out in Iowa, so maybe there was something about the cornfields that got this team going. They’re now 73-58 and three games behind the Atlanta Braves, who are 3-7 over their last ten. The Phils […] The post Nine Statistics from the Phillies’ Nine-Game Winning Streak appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Drought is Over, and The Magic Continues for the Phillies
The Phillies have won 9 games in a row, and it feels like they’ve won each game a different way. Who is this Phillies team? Coming into Sunday’s matinee against the St. Louis Cardinals, the Phillies had won 8 games in a row and closed a once 9.5-game gap behind the Braves down to just […] The post The Drought is Over, and The Magic Continues for the Phillies appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Tyrese Maxey is Saying All the Right Stuff About this Sixers Team Having No Egos
I felt pretty damn elated watching LeBron, Tyrese Maxey, and Jaylen Brown finally take the court together earlier this week, but I must admit, I got slightly nervous, too. “These are three very good basketball players,” I thought. “They’re gelling well in this clip, yes, but these are just drills. This is a practice. These […] The post Tyrese Maxey is Saying All the Right Stuff About this Sixers Team Having No Egos appeared first on Crossing Broad .
You’re Snorting Penn State Fraternity Cocaine if You Think Rhode Island is Beating the Temple Owls in Philadelphia
This is not a strawman. I have seen this opinion from a handful of people now and it’s becoming irksome: Right, so all the talk is about Penn State vs. Temple. But Temple opens with Rhode Island at Lincoln Financial Field on September 5th. The Rams are an FCS school out of the Coastal Athletic […] The post You’re Snorting Penn State Fraternity Cocaine if You Think Rhode Island is Beating the Temple Owls in Philadelphia appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Bryson Stott and Cristopher Sanchez Had Some Cool Cleats Made for Players’ Weekend
It’s Players’ Weekend in MLB, which the league describes as “a three-day celebration of what makes big leaguers unique. This is a time for them to express themselves through wearing custom gear on the field and telling personal stories off of it.” MLB first started doing a version of Players’ Weekend back in 2017, and […] The post Bryson Stott and Cristopher Sanchez Had Some Cool Cleats Made for Players’ Weekend appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Could a Split Designated Hitter Make Sense for the Phillies After This Season?
Should there be baseball in 2027, the Phillies should probably start thinking about what that roster is going to look like. I’m sure Dave Dombrowski and John Middleton are already looking ahead as it’s their job to do that, but the shuffling of the infield and outfield after this year’s trade deadline left me with […] The post Could a Split Designated Hitter Make Sense for the Phillies After This Season? appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Alec Bohm Has a Chance to Re-Write His Phillies Legacy
Alec Bohm has had a turbulent tenure across his seven Phillies seasons. He is a good player, though his overlapping weaknesses with the higher-paid stars sometimes paint him in a worse light than he deserves. But the lack of power in his 6-foot-5 frame, his knack for stunting rallies with a ground-ball double play, and […] The post Alec Bohm Has a Chance to Re-Write His Phillies Legacy appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Fanatics is Selling a Temple Shirt that Displays a Setting Sun Over Mountains and Pine Trees, Just Like North Broad Street
A CB reader stumbled upon this Temple shirt at Fanatics, which features a lovely image of the setting sun: This is very nice if you are willing to overlook the fact that the Temple campus is totally flat, and without evergreen conifers. Maybe there are some pine trees out by Temple Ambler, but there ain’t […] The post Fanatics is Selling a Temple Shirt that Displays a Setting Sun Over Mountains and Pine Trees, Just Like North Broad Street appeared first on Crossing Broad .
