Eagles’ Jalen Hurts Has Nothing to Prove in 2024
In the middle of the 2024 NFL offseason, discourse around specific teams and players can get a little bit out of whack. Right now, we are seeing some of that with Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. A lot of people are questioning Hurts after his rather underwhelming season in 2023—fair...
No Need to Stress About the Phillies Fifth Starter
If there’s been one consistent complaint about this Phillies team in 2024, it’s been the fifth starter. Taijuan Walker has been a failed experiment since he signed with the club before the 2023 season. Walker was 15-6 with a 4.38 ERA in 31 starts last year, which was nothing to sneeze at. The issue, especially with the fans, came playoff time and the time since.
Matvei Michkov is Coming to America
After speculations earlier this summer, it is now official that Matvei Michkov will join the Flyers for the 2024-25 season. Michkov was the best Russian prospect in the 2024 NHL Draft and easily could have been a top-five draft pick. However, because he was under contract to remain in the...
If Ownership Doesn’t Care, Why Should the Fans?
Make no mistake about it, this is not the Union’s first rodeo at being a bad team. However, falling from the heights they achieved over the years makes this sting more than in the past. The writing is on the wall with the Philadelphia Union winless in their last...
Sixers’ Needs Heading into the Draft
As the NBA draft approaches tomorrow, the Sixers have needs at pretty much all positions, with only Joel Embiid as a notable player that does not hit free agency or expect a new contract. With that in mind, the Sixers have some serious roster building to do this offseason. They cannot neglect the draft as a place to do so.
The Storied MLB Career of Willie Mays Began in Philadelphia
The Baseball Legend Got His MLB Start Right Here at Shibe Park. It Couldn’t Have Been More Fitting. On Tuesday, America lost a baseball trailblazer when Willie Mays passed away from heart failure at his home in Palo Alto, California, at the age of 93. Mays was perhaps the best American baseball player of all time. He was a 12x Gold Glover and a 24x All-Star, and in 1961, he hit four home runs in a single game. His career would feature 661 home runs.

Saquon Barkley Compared to Eagles’ All-Time Best Running Backs

There’s nothing quite like it: being in a packed stadium, the crowd is wild, and your favorite team is scoring a game-winning goal or touchdown.

As a state with a lot of teams, there are many experience gifts Philadelphia can offer sports fans.
Matt Strahm, Seranthony Dominguez, and the Search for a Trustworthy Arm in the Phillies Bullpen
For the first time all year, the Phillies are finally facing some adversity. At 47-24, the Phillies still hold an eight-game lead over the Atlanta Braves in the N.L. East, but the squad has fallen back down to Earth over the past week. A split in London against the Mets was followed by dropping two out of three to the Red Sox and another series to Baltimore shortly after. They are just 10-10 in their last 20 games, with the lineup hitting just .231/.292/.370 over the past seven contests. Catcher J.T. Realmuto will miss significant time due to knee surgery. The indomitable starting pitching has started to appear mortal. On Sunday, in the sixth inning of an 8-3 loss to the Orioles, manager Rob Thomson had seen enough and blew his lid in a rare ejection. It felt like a fitting reaction to the past week.
