Phillies Have Finalists for Cy Young, Reliever of the Year, Manager of the Year
Three Phillies were announced as 2026 National League awards finalists. Cristopher Sanchez: Cy Young The Phillies ace was fantastic for a fourth straight season, posting a 2.91 ERA over 33 starts (18 wins) with 231 strikeouts and an 8.1 WAR for the second straight year. Sanchez has now combined for a 16.2 WAR, 443 strikeouts, […] The post Phillies Have Finalists for Cy Young, Reliever of the Year, Manager of the Year appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Phillies Did Not Extend Qualifying Offer to Alec Bohm
The Phillies will not extend Alec Bohm a $23.15 million qualifying offer by Monday’s 5 p.m. deadline. It doesn’t mean his time on that team is over. But that’s the most likely scenario. Bohm, 30, has played 7 seasons in Philadelphia, .273/.325/.410 with a .735 OPS across 874 games, totaling 85 HRs, 483 RBIs, and […] The post Phillies Did Not Extend Qualifying Offer to Alec Bohm appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Burger King Howard Eskin Gives Sad Explanation After Stealing Video from an Actual Reporter
Saw this on the timeline. Looks like Burger King is reposting other people’s video: There was another clip earlier that Eskin also lifted from PHLY’s E.J. Smith. When asked where he got the video, Burger King said, “was sent to me,” which is hilarious no matter what. Either Eskin is straight up lying or there […] The post Burger King Howard Eskin Gives Sad Explanation After Stealing Video from an Actual Reporter appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Villanova Opened Basketball Season With a Brutal Choke Job Against Notre Dame in Rome
Villanova had the win in their hands. They were up 10 points against Notre Dame with just over ten minutes to play in the second half. This would be a nice win for the Wildcats. They would start the season with a splashy, high-profile W. The flight all the way out to Rome would be […] The post Villanova Opened Basketball Season With a Brutal Choke Job Against Notre Dame in Rome appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Bryce Harper Likes the Offseason Better Than the Baseball Season
Bryce Harper is pretty active on TikTok. He put out that one video a few months ago where he brushed his teeth like an escaped lunatic, which weighed heavily on my mind for a few weeks after I saw it, but then I never thought about his strange content again. Until recently, that is, when […] The post Bryce Harper Likes the Offseason Better Than the Baseball Season appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Gray Flyers Jerseys are Kind of Boring, But at Least it’s Something New and Different
This was leaked a while back, but now official: Looks like a darker version of the Millennial Gray color that was really popular back in 2015. You could hang 30 of these Flyers jerseys from the side of a Fishtown house that’s just losing it’s 10-year tax abatement and they would blend in seamlessly. Initial […] The post The Gray Flyers Jerseys are Kind of Boring, But at Least it’s Something New and Different appeared first on Crossing Broad .
I Almost Feel Bad For the Cowboys’ Radio Team After They Had to Witness Another Meltdown Against the Cardinals
The Eagles’ season is basically lost, so now we’re gonna have to focus more on what players and coaches can help this team in the future. I’ll still tune in every week, hope for a win, and pray there’s still at least a few more Merrill gems left this season. But it’s looking bleak. The […] The post I Almost Feel Bad For the Cowboys’ Radio Team After They Had to Witness Another Meltdown Against the Cardinals appeared first on Crossing Broad .
This Dumbass Sequence Pretty Much Sums Up the Eagles’ Season
The Eagles lost to the Commanders 27-10 on Sunday Night Football in a game I wish I could unsee. No part of it was good. It’s messed up that the Birds should even have to play the rest of the games. If the NFL was merciful they’d cancel the rest of Philadelphia’s season. That’d be […] The post This Dumbass Sequence Pretty Much Sums Up the Eagles’ Season appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Six Thoughts Ahead of the 2026 Midterm Elections
The 2026 midterms take place this week, which means two things. Number one, the political ads will finally stop. Hooray! And number two, it’s a good time to reflect on some current events. Here are six thoughts, in no particular order: 1) Anfernee Simons is that dude The Sixers are 6-1 after beating the Hornets […] The post Six Thoughts Ahead of the 2026 Midterm Elections appeared first on Crossing Broad .
What Would You Rather Do on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve – Watch the Eagles or Spend Time With Your Family?
It’s a good question, isn’t it? Saw Colarulo joking about it: Sadly, they can’t flex out of a day entirely. The Eagles have to play the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving and the Houston Texans on Christmas Eve. In a perfect world, they’d flex this season to the moon and the Birds wouldn’t play another snap.

Should Have Flexed – 27 Immediate Takeaways from Commies 27, Eagles 10
The Eagles lost to the Commanders on Sunday night. It was a terrible football game. Complete waste of time. It should have been flexed into the sun. This is a bad team, wracked with injuries and limited by poor coaching anyway. They probably weren’t gonna do shit even if they were healthy. Now they’re 2-6 […] The post Should Have Flexed – 27 Immediate Takeaways from Commies 27, Eagles 10 appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Call Me Crazy – But I’m Excited to See the Eagles Play This Weekend
I know the Dallas Cowboys’ defense is trash. I get it. But I liked what I saw from the Eagles’ offense last week. We saw the typical errors we usually see from offenses headed by a backup quarterback still getting their bearings and also not having all healthy starters available, but it was something to […] The post Call Me Crazy – But I’m Excited to See the Eagles Play This Weekend appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Brewers Showed the Phillies That the Key to Success is Pretty Simple
While the 2026 World Series wasn’t the exciting spectacle a lot of baseball diehards – including myself – were hoping for, it’s still fun to see a franchise win their first championship if our team’s not on the other side. The Brewers had that feeling of a team about to do something special after sweeping […] The post The Brewers Showed the Phillies That the Key to Success is Pretty Simple appeared first on Crossing Broad .
V.J. Edgecombe Could Have Seriously Injured Jalen Brunson with Dangerous Foot-to-Foot Contact
NBA refs are hilarious. The Sixers challenged this on Friday night and it the foul call was upheld: Prayers up for Jalen Brunson. He could have been seriously injured! Consider this a teaching moment for V.J. Edgecombe. He must stand perfectly still while defending. If he doesn’t, he risks making high-impact foot contact on the […] The post V.J.

Sean Couturier and Rick Tocchet are Passive-Aggressively Arguing in the Media About Whether the Flyers are Soft, Which Can’t Be Good
After a 5-2 loss to Washington that marked the Flyers' 12th defeat in 15 games, captain Sean Couturier admitted the team is “soft” and lacking physicality. The comment sparked a backlash from fans and prompted head coach Rick Tocchet to publicly downplay the criticism, insisting the locker‑room culture remains intact and urging internal communication. The article details the media exchange, fan reactions, and the growing tension amid a struggling season.
Jaylen Brown Calls Jayson Tatum a Hufflepuff, Which I’m Pretty Sure is Highly Disrespectful in Harry Potter Vernacular
I’m enjoying the Jaylen Brown vs. Jayson Tatum beef stuff. I’m seeing a lot of people online complain about it, and I really don’t get it. Why complain? What’s the problem? We all sports-hate Jayson Tatum. Jaylen Brown also seems to sports-hate Jayson Tatum. Our guy is taking shots at their guy. What’s wrong with […] The post Jaylen Brown Calls Jayson Tatum a Hufflepuff, Which I’m Pretty Sure is Highly Disrespectful in Harry Potter Vernacular appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Aidan Miller is Tearing Up the Arizona Fall League
The Sixers are humming, the Eagles stink, and the Flyers are struggling. Now may be the perfect time to turn on the Arizona Fall League, because Aidan Miller is ripping the cover off of the ball. Through 12 games with the Surprise Saguaros, he’s slashing .359/.590/.564 with 14 hits, 4 doubles, 2 triples, 7 RBIs, […] The post Aidan Miller is Tearing Up the Arizona Fall League appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Brewers Have Taught Us That the Phillies Must Smoke Cigarettes to Win the World Series
Watching the Brewers tear through the playoffs and win the World Series in pretty dominant fashion, I couldn’t help but look for lessons to be learned and wonder how they could be applied to the Phillies. A few were obvious. Small ball is back. Player development can get you better results than wild free agent […] The post The Brewers Have Taught Us That the Phillies Must Smoke Cigarettes to Win the World Series appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Nick Minicucci is Going to Put Delaware on His Back and Carry the Hens to a Bowl Game
Short college football blog, but not about Temple or Penn State, because both programs turned out to be huge disappointments this season. The Owls are 2-5 and a +4.5 road dog against East Carolina this weekend. Penn State is 3-4 and a -10.5 home favorite against 3-4 Purdue. Talk about appointment viewing in Happy Valley.

Phillies Will Reportedly DFA Garrett Stubbs
The Phillies have informed Garrett Stubbs that he will be designated for assignment, according to Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Stubbs, 33, learned of the decision on Thursday, according to Lauber. The Phillies will have a week to find a trade for Stubbs, and if they cannot, Stubbs reportedly will elect free agency.

Hilarious Optics, as Philadelphia Sports Writers Association Will Honor a Nova Knick at 2027 Banquet, Which is at The Palestra
This is pretty funny: Why is it funny? Well, Brunson plays for the hated Knicks, who recently swept the Sixers en route to their first title since the Stone Age. Recent winners of this award include Cristopher Sanchez, Saquon Barkley, Carli Lloyd, Jaron Ennis, and Jalen Hurts, so they usually give it to a current […] The post Hilarious Optics, as Philadelphia Sports Writers Association Will Honor a Nova Knick at 2027 Banquet, Which is at The Palestra appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Eagles Might Be Down to RB6 and RB7 on Sunday Night Football (UPDATED)
Eagles running back update: They play the Commies in Washington on Sunday Night Football. To review: If Saquon can’t play this weekend, they’re down to RB6 in Elijah Mitchell and RB7 in Jaydon Blue, who got some burn in the Cowboys’ preseason before winding up on the Eagles’ practice squad.

Jalen Carter Says it “Doesn’t Really Matter What the Fans Want” in a Quote That Probably Should’ve Just Been a Thought
Jalen Carter is having a fascinating season. On the year, he has 18 total tackles (8 solo, 10 assisted), 3 sacks, 5 tackles for loss, 2 quarterback hits, 6 quarterback hurries, 1 knockdown, 3 forced fumbles, and 2 passes defended. Among defensive tackles in 2026, those numbers rank him 1st in forced fumbles, 2nd in […] The post Jalen Carter Says it “Doesn’t Really Matter What the Fans Want” in a Quote That Probably Should’ve Just Been a Thought appeared first on Crossing Broad .
That Tyrese Maxey Late-Game Pick and Roll Must Be a Nightmare to Defend
The Sixers are 4-1 this season with wins against the defending champion Knicks, Cavs, Bucks, and Pacers. They lead the league in clutch points and have the second best 4th quarter point differential and second best 4th quarter defensive rating. They’re playing their best basketball late, which has been enough to make up for some […] The post That Tyrese Maxey Late-Game Pick and Roll Must Be a Nightmare to Defend appeared first on Crossing Broad .
