The Cowboys Went All the Way to Brazil to Lose in Hilarious Fashion
lmao The Cowboys went all the way down to Brazil and lost on a walk-off field goal: For context, Dallas had just gone 60 yards down the field in 1:23 to kick a game-tying field goal. They probably should have scored a touchdown but went incomplete/penalty/two-yard run/incomplete with 1st and goal from the Baltimore two.

“It Doesn’t Matter How You Get In… And We’re Fucking In,” Says Don Mattingly
The Phillies avoided a historic September collapse on Sunday by defeating the Tampa Bay Rays and punching their ticket to Atlanta to face the Braves in the National League Wild Card Series. They had a somewhat tame celebration on the field before heading to the clubhouse, where the champagne has been flowing, and still is […] The post “It Doesn’t Matter How You Get In… And We’re Fucking In,” Says Don Mattingly appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Phillies Playoff Schedule is Very Dumb
MLB put this out before the Phils clinched on Sunday: 2 p.m. on Tuesday, 2 p.m. on Wednesday, and 2 p.m. on Thursday, if the series goes to three games. This will never not be stupid, the way that MLB schedules playoff games. 2 p.m. on a weekday? Do they think that fans are sitting […] The post The Phillies Playoff Schedule is Very Dumb appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Phillies are Going to the Postseason
It came down to the last nine innings of the regular season, but the Phillies are going to the playoffs for the 5th year in a row. Sunday morning at Citizens Bank Park was eerie. The tarp was on the field, the air was cold, and the rain wasn’t stopping. Major League Baseball made the […] The post The Phillies are Going to the Postseason appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Two Phillies Starters Available in Relief Behind Zack Wheeler on Sunday
Zack Wheeler will take the mound for the Phillies in game 162. A once 5-game lead with 8 games to go has turned into a nail-biter, and an entire season comes down to 9 innings on a rainy Sunday afternoon. They can clinch the 6-seed in the postseason on Sunday with a win. If the […] The post Two Phillies Starters Available in Relief Behind Zack Wheeler on Sunday appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Eagles’ Dirty Kick Sparks a Rules Clarification Meeting
The Eagles know that with innovation comes backlash. It happened with the tush push, and now it’s happening again: special teams coordinators around the league are reportedly gathering to talk about the Birds and Falcons using a kickoff loophole to do “dirty kicks” — kicks that are held at an angle by a holder, which […] The post Eagles’ Dirty Kick Sparks a Rules Clarification Meeting appeared first on Crossing Broad .

The NFL, a Billion-Dollar Company with a Beer Sponsor, Fined Kyle Juszczyk $15,000 For Pretending to Drink a Beer (Which He Says Wasn’t Beer)
The NFL does tone-deaf, counterintuitive stuff all the time, but this one feels particularly rough: the league fined 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk $15,000 for his Week 2 touchdown celebration where he pretended to drink a beer: The irony of the NFL fining Juszczyk for this is pretty on-the-nose stuff. The NFL is essentially one large […] The post The NFL, a Billion-Dollar Company with a Beer Sponsor, Fined Kyle Juszczyk $15,000 For Pretending to Drink a Beer (Which He Says Wasn’t Beer) appear...
There is No Reason to Ever Say the Word “Resiliency” When Talking About Sports
Saw this ESPN headline: This is from a Drake London quote after the Falcons beat the Packers at Lambeau: “He’s the definition of resiliency,” London said of (Michael Penix Jr.) It’s not an ESPN writer picking the word “resiliency,” which should never be used when talking about sports, because it means the same exact thing […] The post There is No Reason to Ever Say the Word “Resiliency” When Talking About Sports appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Tucker Kraft Would Last Two Seconds in Philadelphia
Mister Softee right here: “That’s pretty tough. Like everyone pictures Lambeau Field and not boos. I don’t picture boos. I picture my home stadium. That’s tough. It’s pretty disappointing, especially for a home opener. It’s pretty disappointing. It’s not going to help us win.

Thankfully the NHL is Cracking Down on Serious Issues, Like Players Tucking Their Jerseys into Their Pants
Trevor Zegras was penalized in Thursday night’s preseason game because his jersey was tucked into his pants: Elliotte Friedman said this on X: “First one I’ve seen this preseason, but league has indicated it will warn players if equipment — neck guards, visors, helmets (during warmup) — is not being properly worn.

Ben Simmons has long done anything and everything he can to stay in the news, and his next flailing grasp at relevancy will be an ESPN documentary coming in October: [Interspersed with broadcast clips/audio of old Ben Simmons games and dramatic synthy music:] UNKNOWN VOICE: “Why you so at peace on the water?

Some Phillies Thoughts Heading into their Last Regular Season Series
It’s tight. It’s tight in Citizens Bank Park. It’s tight inside the Phillies’ clubhouse. The fans are tight. Can’t blame the fans for feeling that way. After losing another series, the Phillies have officially not won a series since Arizona on September 1st. They now have to rely on the D Backs and Padres to […] The post Some Phillies Thoughts Heading into their Last Regular Season Series appeared first on Crossing Broad .
It’s Gritty’s Birthday – Here’s a List of Interesting Gritty Facts to Celebrate
The Flyers introduced Gritty on this day, September 24th, back in 2018. That was eight years ago. Eight years of Gritty. That’s a pretty long time, but it somehow feels even longer. It’s hard to remember a time before Gritty was doing this sort of stuff: And this: Did you know that despite being pretty […] The post It’s Gritty’s Birthday – Here’s a List of Interesting Gritty Facts to Celebrate appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Mekhi Becton Sounds Ready to Return to the Eagles as Soon as Howie Roseman Makes the Call
A fan asked Mekhi Becton when he’s coming back home to Philly, and the currently unsigned guard who won a Super Bowl with the Eagles in 2025 had this to say: He either said “They don’t call me” or “Tell them call me.” I can’t tell which it is for sure, but either way, the […] The post Mekhi Becton Sounds Ready to Return to the Eagles as Soon as Howie Roseman Makes the Call appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Phillies Hypothetical: Are You Throwing Zack Wheeler on Sunday if the 4 Seed is in Play?
I was talking to Amish Terp on Twitter and he raised a couple of rhetorical Phillies questions, paraphrased: As the Phillies stumble into the MLB postseason, how much do you care about home field advantage? Would you throw Zack Wheeler this weekend for a chance at hosting the Wild Card round at Citizens Bank Park?
