Flyers Keeping the “Brick by Brick” Slogan in 2026, an Homage to the Process Sixers
Flyers camp is underway and it looks like the “Brick by Brick” slogan is back for another year: The Flyers actually sent out a press release about this last year, on September 18th, revealing that “Brick by Brick” was replacing the “New Era of Orange.” It was a rebuilding-themed slogan because they were “laying a […] The post Flyers Keeping the “Brick by Brick” Slogan in 2026, an Homage to the Process Sixers appeared first on Crossing Broad .
50 Lashes for the Fanatic Employee Who Published This A.I. Abomination
Come on, man: Julius Irving? Never heard of him. But I do know Julius Erving. “Dr. J.” He rocked the baby to sleep with a slam dunk and played on the 1983 Sixers team that almost went “Fo Fo Fo” with Moses Malone. Best Philadelphia sports team of all time, depending on how you feel […] The post 50 Lashes for the Fanatic Employee Who Published This A.I. Abomination appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Brandon Graham Takes a Shot at Spike Eskin
This PHLY clip is making the rounds: “…we played good enough to win the game. We make it to the next week. I can say that the Falcons in 2017, that game we didn’t play as good as we needed to, but we found a way to win. They don’t care then! People don’t care […] The post Brandon Graham Takes a Shot at Spike Eskin appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Cavan Sullivan Gets USMNT Call-Up
Per Jeff Carlisle at ESPN, the Union’s Cavan Sullivan has earned a call-up to the United States Men’s National Team for the FIFA International window this September and October. The 16-year-old will have the chance to lace them up against Peru, Chile, Mexico, and Canada, with games set to begin on September 26th in Orlando.

Nick Sirianni Gets an A+ For Sniffing Out This Drew Kendall Question
With Landon Dickerson hitting the IR after a rough Week 1 — a performance he’s since pretty much blamed on getting injured at practice a few weeks ago — the Eagles will have some offensive line adjustments to make in Week 2. The question now is what exactly those adjustments will be. The two logical […] The post Nick Sirianni Gets an A+ For Sniffing Out This Drew Kendall Question appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Joe Mazzulla Doesn’t Like Paul George Reminding Him How Paul George Torched the Celtics in the Playoffs
Don’t get me wrong, I’m amped about the Sixers’ new-look roster this season. LeBron James. Jaylen Brown. Et cetera. This is going to be sick. I’m very excited. No doubt. But I must admit, from time to time, I still find myself thinking about the thrill of last season’s first round win over the Celtics.

Q/A: Susan Barnett on Life After Television, Living the Costco Dream, and How a Passion for Design Became a Real Estate Career
It was 13 years ago when Susan Barnett walked away from CBS 3 Eyewitness News, unexpectedly. Back then, the Eagles had recently fired Andy Reid, the Phillies traded Vance Worley for Ben Revere, and the Sixers were close to bringing in Brett Brown to kick off the Process era. Mike Knuble was a Flyer for […] The post Q/A: Susan Barnett on Life After Television, Living the Costco Dream, and How a Passion for Design Became a Real Estate Career appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Flyers Will Rightfully Recognize the Irish with a 2027 Heritage Night
After giving the lousy Italians* a heritage night in 2026, the Flyers will have Irish heritage night in 2027: February 24th, against the Buffalo Sabres. A few weeks before St. Patrick’s Day. All ticket package buyers will receive the clover beanie you see in the picture, which is nice. The Paisans got a black t-shirt […] The post The Flyers Will Rightfully Recognize the Irish with a 2027 Heritage Night appeared first on Crossing Broad .
If the Eagles’ Offensive Line Can Pose Naked, Why Can’t Sydney Sweeney?
There’s been a lot of hubbub about this Sydney Sweeney advertisement for Novig. The reactionary bloviating is dense, and tricky to summarize, but Carlos Rodriguez at the AP did a good job: An advertising campaign featuring American actor Sydney Sweeney has sparked widespread backlash from female athletes who say it is sexualizing women in sports. In the […] The post If the Eagles’ Offensive Line Can Pose Naked, Why Can’t Sydney Sweeney? appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Matt Cord is Returning as Sixers PA Announcer
Just 34 days out from what might be the most anticipated Sixers season ever, fans got yet another reason to be amped on Wednesday morning: Matt Cord announced that he’ll be returning as the team’s PA announcer for one more year: “I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to return to the mic as PA announcer […] The post Matt Cord is Returning as Sixers PA Announcer appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Phillies Have Lost 8 of 12 and Jesus Luzardo is on the Injured List
The Phillies lost 6-3 to the Nats with Cristopher Sanchez giving up five runs on eight hits in 6.1 innings of work. They’ve lost 8 of 12 and Jesus Luzardo is injured: Luzardo pitched a complete game shutout in his last outing, which was September 7th. Maybe that wasn’t ideal in hindsight, but they didn’t […] The post The Phillies Have Lost 8 of 12 and Jesus Luzardo is on the Injured List appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Who’s Been Keeping Matvei Michkov Away From Lower Bucks and its Top-Notch Russian Bathhouses?
As Kinker wrote last week, Matvei Michkov mentioned that the only downside to Philadelphia is that there are no Russian bathhouses. Michkov really likes these banyas, and he didn’t just say it once. He said it many, many times in a clip that’s only twenty-seven seconds long: Let me just drop a super subtle hint […] The post Who’s Been Keeping Matvei Michkov Away From Lower Bucks and its Top-Notch Russian Bathhouses? appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Even the Camera in the Phillies’ TV Booth Had Enough of This Game
The Phillies blew another one – this time to the Washington Nationals. Cristopher Sánchez barely got through 6.1 innings before being lifted in the 7th inning with two on and one out. Enter Jonathan Bowlan, who has been running on fumes for the last month. And on his first pitch… Phillies lose. The lineup is […] The post Even the Camera in the Phillies’ TV Booth Had Enough of This Game appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Browns Fan Asks if He Can Defect to the Eagles

I love my team but wtf 3-32 against the jags. I’m only a Browns fan bc my dad is a giants […] The post Browns Fan Asks if He Can Defect to the Eagles appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Ivy League Bringing Conference Basketball Tournament to… Allentown?
College basketball sicko Jon Rothstein had it first: And the press release: PRINCETON, N.J. — The Ivy League will bring the excitement of Ivy Madness to the Lehigh Valley beginning in 2028, as the league announced today a three-year agreement for its annual men’s and women’s basketball tournaments to be held at PPL Center in Allentown, […] The post Ivy League Bringing Conference Basketball Tournament to… Allentown? appeared first on Crossing Broad .
James Franklin Being Weird in Blacksburg
What’s going on in this video? What is James Franklin doing? My instinct is to give Franklin the benefit of the doubt here and assume there must have been some sort of technical issue going on. It’s the only way I can wrap my head around someone acting like this. Maybe Franklin couldn’t hear the […] The post James Franklin Being Weird in Blacksburg appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Non-Philly School Villanova Will Play Two Big East Games at Xfinity Mobile Arena
The Big East released its conference schedule for 2026-2027, and it looks like Villanova will be playing Saint John’s and UConn at Xfinity Mobile Area: If I can be honest in this blog here, it’s always bothered me a little that Villanova plays their big games at whatever we’re calling the basketball arena in the […] The post Non-Philly School Villanova Will Play Two Big East Games at Xfinity Mobile Arena appeared first on Crossing Broad .

This is a sad day, but one we all must’ve known was coming sooner or later: Jo Ciavaglia and JD Mullane of the Bucks County Courier Times reported on Monday that the Neshaminy Mall will be closing soon, with demolition of much of the mall scheduled to begin in December.

Some Thoughts on this Gallup Poll, and the Youths Moving Away from Football
Everybody is talking about this new Gallup poll, which reveals the popularity of certain sports among different age groups: The full report is linked here, but the graphic in the story that’s getting the most traction was shared by Taylor Twellman and others: The first thing that jumped out to me was baseball.

RADIO WARS: Adam Smith Joining 97.5 the Fanatic
Dunno if this counts as RADIO WARS, but I think more people click on it if we write RADIO WARS. Smitty of Barstool fame is joining the Fanatic: Smitty says he’s in the suburbs and living the dad life and ready to get “back into the weeds” with Philly sports.

Landon Dickerson to IR
Injury news: Dickerson told the WIP guys on Monday night that he “played like shit” in the Washington game, explaining that he was rolled up in practice a few weeks ago. The film showed a left guard who didn’t look anything like the guy we saw two seasons ago, during the Super Bowl run. He […] The post Landon Dickerson to IR appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Makai Lemon Had a Quiet NFL Debut, But Came Up With a Big Block on the Game’s Biggest Play
Makai Lemon didn’t exactly pop in the Eagles’ Week 1 win over the Commanders. The rookie receiver’s stat line was pretty awful: he caught 3 of his 4 targets for -5 receiving yards (with catches of 3, -5, and -3 yards). Operating as the Eagles’ WR3 and playing 36 of 56 offensive snaps (64.3%), most […] The post Makai Lemon Had a Quiet NFL Debut, But Came Up With a Big Block on the Game’s Biggest Play appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Some Stray Thoughts on Tom Brady Inventing the Phrase “Like a Butterfly With Sore Legs”
Kinkead / 9:25 p.m. – it appears as though Brady tried to use an old golf idiom and got it wrong, hence the widespread confusion. The saying is actually “like a butterfly with sore feet,” not “like a butterfly with sore legs.” I guess it’s an saying that old golfers use, but we don’t have […] The post Some Stray Thoughts on Tom Brady Inventing the Phrase “Like a Butterfly With Sore Legs” appeared first on Crossing Broad .
It’s 2026 and Carson Wentz is Slinging Darts in an NFL Game
The year is 2026 and Carson Wentz is playing good football. The hell’s going on there? Look at this: He didn’t start the game, of course. Kyler Murray is the Vikings QB1, but went down in the first quarter with a head injury after this late hit: The Vikings then turned to Carson Wentz to […] The post It’s 2026 and Carson Wentz is Slinging Darts in an NFL Game appeared first on Crossing Broad .
