IIHF Bans Fedotov from International Competition
The International Ice Hockey Federation banned Flyers goaltender Ivan Fedotov from international competition. This ruling stems from the IIHF’s original statement from last summer on which of Fedotov’s contracts are valid: the one he signed with the Flyers or the KHL’s CSKA. In the summer of 2022,...
For the 30-win Phillies, the Best is Yet to Come
Zach Wheeler isn’t happy. The Phillies ace, who ranks second in the N.L. in strikeouts, had his worst start of the season on Sunday against the Marlins, allowing six runs on six hits and three walks over just four innings. He’s admitted over the first month and a half...
Sixers Undervalue Draft Picks Too Much
After the 2021 draft, the Sixers have made a whopping ZERO draft picks that are on the teams. In 2022, they drafted David Roddy (who instantly went to Memphis), then in 2023 they did not make a selection. In recent years, this front office has completely overlooked the importance of the NBA draft where solid players can be found for very a very reasonable price.
Is the Philadelphia Union Ready for Cavan Sullivan?
14-year-old prodigy Cavan Sullivan officially signed a 4-year deal with the Philadelphia Union. However, given the current state of the team, is the Union ready for the phenom?. Usually, the questions are reversed. A 14-year-old kid should be the one in question about making his pro debut. However, the Philadelphia...
Projecting the Eagles’ Path to the One-Seed
Even though they didn’t as much win their division, the Philadelphia Eagles looked like they might hold the top record in the NFC in back-to-back seasons, starting their 2023 season with a 10-1 record. Philadelphia’s severe regression to an 11-6 record by the end of the season was a...
Eagles’ Howie Roseman Has Shifted His Draft-Day Approach
After a dreadful 2020 NFL draft that helped send the Philadelphia Eagles into a short-term rebuild, GM Howie Roseman has completely changed his approach to the draft. Everyone’s a critic, but Roseman’s work in recent drafts has been fascinating. He is one of the best in the business at getting value out of draft picks, and so far, it seems to be working.
What is the Phillies Biggest Weakness?
Everything seems to be clicking right now for the Phillies. Philadelphia is 28-13 and owns the best winning percentage in the sport. Players in the clubhouse spoke on a fast start this season, and boy did they do just that. It’s difficult to poke holes in this current Phillies team...
A Slam Dunk
When is Comes to Athletics, Cooper DeJean has Never Known Anything But Success. Nearly a month after a Ronde Barber interception return for a touchdown closed Veteran’s Stadium and the Eagles best chance at a Super Bowl in almost 25 years in the 2003 NFC Championship Game, Cooper DeJean was born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
A Man Named Milton
The Eagles Are Looking for Running Back Depth. Milton Is Looking to Make the Team. The Eagles want competition at all positions. At running back, they’ve got it. For an offense that will be under the spotlight for a passing attack with Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown, and DeVonta Smith — it’s the running game that looks completely revamped. Off-season departures of D’Andre Swift, Rashaad Penny, and Boston Scott have opened opportunity for depth at the position.
Number 0’s Value? Don’t Process Him; Sign Him
Sign Him, Don’t Process Him. Tyrese Maxey Is the Best Thing That the 76ers Have Going. When it comes to effort on the court, no one does it better than number 0. Tyrese Maxey has always given it his all. Perhaps he has never had to give more than during this season.
The Philadelphia Sports Prodigy
Few People Get Fame and Celebrity Status In Life. Almost No One Does at Age Fourteen. The week, Philadelphia made Sports History yet again. Local soccer phenom Cavan Sullivan is not just the youngest player to ever sign a four-year deal with the Philadelphia Union until 2028 as a first-team player. If Sullivan plays in a match before the end of July 2024, he will “be will become the youngest player to make his debut among the top North American professional sports leagues (MLB, MLS, NBA, NFL, NHL, NWSL) as well as the youngest player to make his debut among the top five European soccer leagues.” This according to the Philadelphia Union Website.
+1800, -116
Las Vegas Is Betting On the Eagles As a Top Contender to Win the Super Bowl. It’s 116 days until the Eagles play the Packers in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and 74 days until they gather at the Novacare Complex for the start of Training Camp. But who’s counting?
Moved, But Stronger Than Ever
This year is the 85th Anniversary of Philadelphia’s Dad Vail Regatta, the largest intercollegiate rowing competition in America. This yearly competition draws participants from over 100 US Colleges. This year — at the 85th running of the Dad Vail Regatta — deviated from its traditional position on the Schuylkill River since 1953. Due...
Offseason Preview: What Moves Do The Sixers Need To Make?
Another year, another heartbreak. The Sixers have officially entered the offseason and there are critical decisions needed to be made about the direction this organization is heading in. One thing is for sure, Daryl Morey is equipped with plenty of cap space to make moves to build around Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Here’s a look at the Sixers who should and shouldn’t return, what other moves they need to make, and more.
The Flyers Remain at No. 12 in NHL Draft Lottery
On Tuesday night, the NHL hosted the Draft Lottery to finalize the first 16 picks in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, which will take place on June 28th and 29th from the Sphere in Las Vegas. For the first time since 2010, no teams advanced their pre-lottery positions. The Flyers...
The Phillies are the Hottest Team in Baseball. Can They Keep it Up?
Take a deep breath and exhale. Perhaps even take a seat before ingesting this bit of news. As of Monday morning, the Philadelphia Phillies, at 24-11, are the best team in baseball. Want even more of a shocker? They are leading the N.L. East, up a full 2.5 games on the Atlanta Braves.
A Busy Weekend, A Busy Week.
A Busy Weekend, A Busy Week. The Eagles Are Adding Depth at All Positions. From Everywhere. In the NFL, March is your time to spend money on talent. April is your time to draft it. Filling positions of need not just for this season, but for seasons to come. Building for your future.
Looking for Worldwide 300-Pound Protection
The Eagles Aren’t Just Playing Internationally. They Are Looking for Talent Globally. In the professional world as in life, rules for success keep you focused. If you follow them and stay committed, success generally follows. Since the Eagles became a Super Bowl contender again in the early 2000s, they’ve...
The Best Around
Will Shipley Has Been Waiting to Burn Up the NFL Gridiron All His Life. Now He’ll Do It In Philly. Could the Eagles have a plan to let Saquon Barkley be a devastating force while ensuring that he stays healthy into January? Does the plan include not having him touch the ball 35 times per game? You’d certainly think so with offensive weapons like DeVonta Smith, AJ Brown, Dallas Goedert, and Jalen Hurts.
A Run Down Broad Street
Nothing Is More Philly Than Broad Street’s Run. In 1682, William Penn commissioned General Surveyor Thomas Holme to make a design for his new city. The construction of this new metropolis located in Pennsylvania — which was a gift from British King Charles II as repayment to Penn for a loan owed to his father — is still evident today.
