You know it’s bad when even WIP hosts are sick of talking about Jalen Hurts. Hurts, arguably the most accomplished quarterback in Philadelphia Eagles history, really brings out a lot of emotions in the average WIP host. There probably hasn’t been one day since 2020 that WIP hasn’t brought up Hurts in some fashion or […] The post Even WIP’s Hugh Douglas Sick to Death of Jalen Hurts Argument appeared first on Crossing Broad .
I was scrolling on Instagram and stumbled upon a post I haven’t been able to stop thinking about since.

The countdown to the NBA Draft is on, and rumors are in full swing.

From the Philadelphia Phillies: Adolis García tore his right lat on a throw home against the Toronto Blue Jays on June 10, ultimately bringing his wildly disappointing season to an abrupt end.

Meantime, at the Knicks parade: Now this is a video! We have a woman doing splits on top of a traffic signal. She’s wearing one shoe. Then she exchanges words with another woman sitting below her, though it’s unclear what was said.

Philadelphians are proud people. We don’t need a bunch of compliments to know that Philly is a world-class city. We already know that. But still, it is nice every now and then to hear people reaffirm it. It’s a pleasant reminder.

Hydration breaks aren’t new in soccer. They’ve had them in various forms on this side of the globe for years now. But FIFA mandated the breaks for this World Cup, which makes sense if you’re playing outside in Miami in June. You don’t want to have a heart attack and die.

Andrew Painter was optioned to Triple-A on Wednesday afternoon after getting torched for six runs in two innings against the Marlins in a matinee loss.

Full disclosure: I’m not sure I fully understand FIFA’s stance on tailgating. After reading up on it, it sounds like FIFA doesn’t like tailgating for two main reasons. 1) It’s a North American phenomenon that most countries don’t even know about, and 2) FIFA would rather fans party at their sponsored fan fests. Reading between […] The post Philadelphia is Teaching the World the Unifying, Healing Power of Tailgating appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Official for South Philly: Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Garry was the rumored main event for this card, and it is a bona fide banger.

Mike Gansey apologized to Jesus Luzardo for mushing his no-hitter on Tuesday night: If we know anything about 40-something WVU graduates with graying beards, longish hair, and multiple children, it’s that they are honorable individuals.

It’s June in Philadelphia, which can only mean one thing: It’s Kyle Schwarber season – The home run Kyle blasted on Tuesday night against the Marlins was his 25th of the season (on June 16th!

Sublime is back with a new album, featuring the original lineup with the late Bradley Nowell’s son Jakob filling in as singer and frontman, and Pitchfork are not fans.

Tuesday night’s Phillies game featured the TV broadcast crew taking in the game from the seats. It’s something they do annually.

The Canes won the Stanley Cup. Awesome team. A total wagon. And I’ll tell what, these shirtless photos of Rod Brind’Amour are insane: They don’t call him “Rod the Bod” for no reason, but the man is 55 years old and last played hockey in 2010.
