Lane Johnson Announces Retirement
Lane posted this just before 4 p.m. – Johnson was a late absence from Sunday’s game due to personal reasons. In the statement, he says, in part – “I deeply wanted to gut it out for one more year; to take the field with my brothers for one last season. But after a lot of […] The post Lane Johnson Announces Retirement appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Here Comes Michael Bunting to Save the Flyers
Danny B made a move: Bunting played for Rick Tocchet in Arizona. Brief stint out there in his early 20s before he went to Toronto and became a 20-goal scorer. He’s floated around over the past 3-4 years, playing for the Hurricanes and Yinzers before splitting last season with the Predators and Stars. He scored […] The post Here Comes Michael Bunting to Save the Flyers appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The 2024 Eagles Didn’t Have an Offensive Identity After Four Games, Therefore Nick Sirianni’s Recent Identity Comments are Overrated
There was a slight bit of reactive Negadelphia when Nick Sirianni said this after Sunday’s putrid Eagles loss: Q. I know you have guys down and it’s still early. It’s only four games in, but what is the identity of the offense? Nick Sirianni: Obviously, it hasn’t been good enough. I think that’s still — […] The post The 2024 Eagles Didn’t Have an Offensive Identity After Four Games, Therefore Nick Sirianni’s Recent Identity Comments are Overrated appeared first on Crossing Broad .
NFL Suspends a Couple of Referees for Acting Like Jabronies
Today is a massive day for the anti-ref community all across the globe: According to ESPN, the NFL has suspended two refs for unprofessional conduct toward players. This is good. This, at long last, is justice. Here’s what happened: Referee Adrian Hill Hill will serve a two-game suspension for his reaction to getting accidentally knocked […] The post NFL Suspends a Couple of Referees for Acting Like Jabronies appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Known Ass-Kisser Howard Eskin Criticizes Jason Dumas for Ass Kissing
Someone sent this over last night: This is what Howard wrote in two separate tweets: “Jason getting back and responding to you after you criticized me for the my item of LeBron James living in NY and traveling to and from Philly by helicopter. You made a strong point there was no credibility with that […] The post Known Ass-Kisser Howard Eskin Criticizes Jason Dumas for Ass Kissing appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Jaylen Brown Cooked in His First Sixers Preseason Game
We’ve all done a whole lot of talking about this new-look Sixers team, but on Monday night, it was finally time to #throwtheballup and get some real basketball in. Felt pretty great to see it. Especially with Jaylen Brown playing like this: JB finished with 22 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block in […] The post Jaylen Brown Cooked in His First Sixers Preseason Game appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Your CVS Receipt is Nothing in Length When Compared to the Eagles’ Injury Report
Meantime: The list is so long that it doesn’t even fit in the embedded tweet. The other three guys are: What’s funny, or maybe sad, is that the injuries to Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby have resulted in Will Shipley appearing next to Joe Mixon and Tyreek Hill as “trending” fantasy football players. Shipley has […] The post Your CVS Receipt is Nothing in Length When Compared to the Eagles’ Injury Report appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Rick Tocchet Says it’s His Fault that Flyers are “Way Too Comfortable” and Not Competing
It seems like every game the Flyers play in Tampa is a low-scoring slop fest, and Monday night was no different. They mustered 14 shots in a 4-1 loss that would have been blown open in the second period if not for the play of Dan Vladar, who stood on his head and gave the […] The post Rick Tocchet Says it’s His Fault that Flyers are “Way Too Comfortable” and Not Competing appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Eagles Would’ve Won if They Didn’t Botch These Two Plays in a Row
I’m not here to make excuses. There are no excuses to be made. The Eagles lost on Sunday, plain and simple. They had plenty of chances to put the game away and they failed to do it. A bunch of people deserve blame. Nick Sirianni. Sean Mannion. Jalen Hurts. The whole offensive line. Those guys […] The post The Eagles Would’ve Won if They Didn’t Botch These Two Plays in a Row appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Nick Foles Wants Jalen Hurts to Get the Ball Out Faster
Nick Foles broke down some of the Jalen Hurts film from Sunday’s loss. He wants to see QB1 play faster: The all-22 for this game is really interesting. There were a lot of plays on Sunday where you were sitting there wondering if anybody was open downfield. That’s nearly impossible to determine in a live […] The post Nick Foles Wants Jalen Hurts to Get the Ball Out Faster appeared first on Crossing Broad .
LeBron Has Arthritis in His Foot and a Bad Lower Back, Like Every Other 41-Year-Old
Dave McMenamin wrote a great, in-depth piece about LeBron and the new-look Sixers that ran on Monday, but as is the way of the internet, a few small tidbits got aggregated and blasted all over Twitter. Dave’s mention of LeBron’s bad foot and lower back is the big one making waves online today, and it […] The post LeBron Has Arthritis in His Foot and a Bad Lower Back, Like Every Other 41-Year-Old appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Tush Push Now Belongs to the Buffalo Bills
Things change pretty fast in the NFL. It wasn’t long ago that the tush push was the Eagles’ signature play, and was deployed so dominantly that league owners nearly banned it from playbooks. Remember that? Remember how fun that was? When all the Birds had to do was get to around 4th and 2, and […] The post The Tush Push Now Belongs to the Buffalo Bills appeared first on Crossing Broad .
On a Positive Note, the Eagles Ran a Screen Play That Gained Yards
Grasping at straws, but here’s a positive. The Eagles did not run the Makai Lemon bubble screen on Sunday. Yay! In fact, they only ran one screen, and it was a quick hitter to Dontayvion Wicks. It looked like it was going nowhere, but he turned it up field for five yards: silver lining: the […] The post On a Positive Note, the Eagles Ran a Screen Play That Gained Yards appeared first on Crossing Broad .
These Might Be the Two Funniest Eagles Fan Interviews I’ve Ever Seen
The Eagles blew a 10-point, fourth quarter lead to hand the Rams a 24-20 win on Sunday, but I’m not here to talk about that. I don’t want to think about it. It was not good. Instead, I’d like to talk about these two fan interviews that CBS ran after the game. I just laughed […] The post These Might Be the Two Funniest Eagles Fan Interviews I’ve Ever Seen appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Nick Sirianni Explains 4th and Goal Decision
Alright, I guess we have to talk about the Eagles loss. Here’s Nick Sirianni on the failed 4th down late in the game: Q. The fourth-and-two decision from the goal line. Can you take me into why you made that decision and then the — Nick Sirianni: In that situation right there, try to make […] The post Nick Sirianni Explains 4th and Goal Decision appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Temple May Have Saved Their Season with the Best Win of the K.C. Keeler Era (Plus, a Response to Kevin Negandhi)
The Temple Owls were 1-3 after a horrific choke job in Toledo and ensuing home loss to Army. Then they went down to Tampa and beat a 4-0 USF team: The last three Temple games have been decided by four points or less. Shades of last season, honestly, when they lost by one point to […] The post Temple May Have Saved Their Season with the Best Win of the K.C.

Litigating the Minor Chirping Incident Between Eagles Fans vs. Rams Coaches
Let’s litigate this: Hmm. The only thing that is clearly out of line is the throwing of the water bottle. You can hear the other Eagles fans in the section do a sort of groan / “hey!” as if to say that the perpetrator should not have done that. Throwing stuff is always lame.

A Message From Our Editor, RE: Penn State, Delaware, and Villanova
I was heated after the Eagles loss and tweeted this out: This language is harsh and I went directly after a Twitter follower. I’d now like to take the opportunity to apologize, to absolutely nobody. Because people like @Haah316 piss me off. Go fuck yourself, @Haah316. I’m so sick of the “team X doesn’t play […] The post A Message From Our Editor, RE: Penn State, Delaware, and Villanova appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Rams Played Like Ass and Still Beat the Eagles
That sucked! The Rams beat the Eagles 24-20 despite Los Angeles playing some pretty bad football. I don’t understand how that happened. How did that happen? The Rams did just about everything wrong on Sunday. They looked sloppy and disjointed and undisciplined. They had their coach so baffled and frustrated that he was doing pee-wee […] The post The Rams Played Like Ass and Still Beat the Eagles appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Darius Cooper Had a Couple of Touchdowns, if Anybody Cares
Anybody feel like talking about that game? Yeah, didn’t think so. At least Darius Cooper had a nice game. Here are his touchdowns: Anyway, see ya on Monday! We’ll complain about the Eagles tomorrow.

Sad Collapse – 34 Immediate Observations from Rams 24, Eagles 20
Well, that was certainly a game of football. Two teams got together to play some bad offense and commit a lot of penalties and make a lot of mistakes. The result was an Eagles choke job and a 24-20 loss. They really had no business dropping that game. Yeah, they were missing some key pieces.

Of All the Phillies Disappointments in 2026, Trea Turner May Top the List
The 2026 Phillies season felt cursed from the jump. Starting the season 9-19 had a lot of us calling for the end of the Rob Thomson era, if only because it might wake up the players sleepwalking through another long 162-game season. It wasn’t that we thought the manager was the reason for the 9-19 […] The post Of All the Phillies Disappointments in 2026, Trea Turner May Top the List appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Riq Woolen Says He Didn’t Hear the Play Call Before Eagles Were Torched for a 41-Yard Touchdown
The Bears handed the Eagles a 27-7 beatdown on Monday night, and as the week chugs along and we all try to figure out what the hell happened at Soldier Field, some interesting tidbits have been coming to light.

Running Through the Phillies’ Lame-Ass Post-Game Quotes After Yet Another Sad Playoff Exit
The Phillies’ postseason is over about as quickly as it began, and this era of Philadelphia baseball may be over with it. That’d be nice. Let’s do something else. This sucks.

Sean Mannion Gives a Disheartening Answer When Asked About the Eagles’ Loathsome Screen Game
Reading through the Sean Mannion midweek quote sheet, I got to this exchange below. Every fiber of my being began to pulse with abhorrence, and untethered contempt: Q. You guys have been pretty consistent targeting WR Makai Lemon on the screen passes, like the swing pass. They’ve been going for negative yards. I guess what […] The post Sean Mannion Gives a Disheartening Answer When Asked About the Eagles’ Loathsome Screen Game appeared first on Crossing Broad .
