Twelve Hours Later and Still No One Knows What the Hell J.T. Realmuto Was Thinking
The Phillies blew their game against the Dodgers on Tuesday night in what could end up being the definitive dumbass loss of the MLB season. Here’s how it went, in short: Bottom of the ninth, Phillies down one, one out, man on second (J.T. Realmuto) and third (Justin Crawford, pinch running for Alec Bohm). Brandon […] The post Twelve Hours Later and Still No One Knows What the Hell J.T. Realmuto Was Thinking appeared first on Crossing Broad .
15 Years Ago: A Trade Deadline Featuring Carlos Beltran, Dom Brown, Hunter Pence, and Zack Wheeler
I was looking through the Crossing Broad archives to see what happened 5, 10, and 15 years ago this week. It’s usually a slow sports period, late July, but MLB trade deadline rumors were cooking, and it happens to be the 15th anniversary of a curious turn of events. The Phillies were in the middle […] The post 15 Years Ago: A Trade Deadline Featuring Carlos Beltran, Dom Brown, Hunter Pence, and Zack Wheeler appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Chip Kelly Looking Like a Philadelphia Construction Foreman at Northwestern’s New Stadium Tour
Chip Kelly spoke on Tuesday as the Northwestern Wildcats held a media tour of their new football stadium: All business. A hard hat, lunch pail type of guy. He looks like one of the blue collar union laborers who rebuilt I-95 in just three days: “Buckley and Company! Three days!” (via @yomemo03 on TikTok) Chip […] The post Chip Kelly Looking Like a Philadelphia Construction Foreman at Northwestern’s New Stadium Tour appeared first on Crossing Broad .

We have a breaking news situation just reported to Crossing Broad headquarters. At long last, the $1.25 million new construction Fishtown house is finally under contract:** This thing was first listed back in January of 2024, so it finally sold 27 months later for about $700,000.

The Phillies Found Another Braindead Way of Losing to the Dodgers
We all remember October. Kerk on the mound in Los Angeles. The Throw. We remember. While that was certainly laden with more pressure than a regular season game on July 21st, the Phillies decided to even up this current three-game series against the Dodgers by taking part in another humiliating loss to them, this time […] The post The Phillies Found Another Braindead Way of Losing to the Dodgers appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Time for Another LeBron James and Philadelphia 76ers Check-in
LeBron James still hasn’t chosen a team to play for next season, and chatter around the impending decision has only gotten louder. With free agency into its third week, let’s check in on the latest news and rumors on where LeBron could play next: Sounds Like Even LeBron is Unsure Where He’s Going Next RICH […] The post Time for Another LeBron James and Philadelphia 76ers Check-in appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Phillies are Calling Up Bryan De La Cruz
The Phillies announced that they’re calling up Bryan De La Cruz ahead of Tuesday night’s game vs. the Dodgers. To make a spot for De La Cruz on the 26-man roster, Garrett Stubbs was placed on the 10-day IL, retroactive to July 18th, with left wrist inflammation. De La Cruz, 29, agreed to a minor-league […] The post The Phillies are Calling Up Bryan De La Cruz appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Trevor Zegras Cut His Hair, and No Longer Looks Like Jeff Spicoli
Trevor Zegras has a new contract worth $9.1 million AAV and a new haircut: Looks good, but the problem is that we can’t do Jeff Spicoli jokes if he has short hair. We can’t riff on the relaxed surfer nature of the Philadelphia Flyers’ highest-paid player. Which, by the way, doesn’t even make sense, because […] The post Trevor Zegras Cut His Hair, and No Longer Looks Like Jeff Spicoli appeared first on Crossing Broad .
I Miss When Atlantic City Was Powerful Enough to Make Dennis Rodman Lose Track of an Entire Day and Miss His Game
Remember when Atlantic City used to draw professional athletes to town to hang out and almost ruin their lives in a fun way? Dennis Rodman does: “I missed one game – I was having such a goddamn good time, I went to a strip club in New York, and then I left the strip club […] The post I Miss When Atlantic City Was Powerful Enough to Make Dennis Rodman Lose Track of an Entire Day and Miss His Game appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Tough Night for MLB Umpire Bill Miller, Who Was Called a “Fucking Fatass” After Disrupting a Ground Ball
I’ll start with an advisory here: This video may make you feel bad. It’s not nice. Proceed with caution: Not cool! Bill Miller, the umpire who is being berated by Reds pitcher Caleb Ferguson, didn’t even do anything wrong. The ball was hit to short. That’s the shortstop’s play to make. Miller didn’t expect the […] The post Tough Night for MLB Umpire Bill Miller, Who Was Called a “Fucking Fatass” After Disrupting a Ground Ball appeared first on Crossing Broad .
I Don’t Think the Guy from the Phillies Karen 2.0 Video Meets the Criteria for “Wrong Game Dickhead”
In litigating the Phillies Karen 2.0 situation of Monday night, I’ve come across some comments accusing Eagles jersey guy of being a “wrong game dickhead” – I’m not sure when or where “wrong game dickhead” began. It’s always been something that people have talked about and thought about, the concept of going to a sporting […] The post I Don’t Think the Guy from the Phillies Karen 2.0 Video Meets the Criteria for “Wrong Game Dickhead” appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Some Thoughts on Another Rough Round of ESPN Layoffs (UPDATED)
ESPN is going through another layoff round. According to multiple reports, the following personalities are out: Ryan Clark, Karl Ravech, Tom Pelissero, David Lloyd, Charles Davis, and Stephania Bell. The cuts are taking place today, Tuesday, though Clark was informed of his exit on Monday in what amounted to a fugazi turn of events. Andrew […] The post Some Thoughts on Another Rough Round of ESPN Layoffs (UPDATED) appeared first on Crossing Broad .
There’s a New Phillies Karen and I Think This One’s Worse Than the Original (UPDATED)
The Phillies beat the Dodgers 10-7 on Monday night, but the biggest story of the evening didn’t happen on the field – it happened in the outfield stands, where two guys argued over who was the rightful owner of a home run ball: Many online are pointing out the similarities between this wild exchange and […] The post There’s a New Phillies Karen and I Think This One’s Worse Than the Original (UPDATED) appeared first on Crossing Broad .
30 Questions and Prompts that Nick Sirianni May Have Run Through ChatGPT
Nick Sirianni seems to be leaning into his CEO-leadership style by doing the most CEO shit imaginable: misguidedly embracing AI. According to Zach Berman at The Athletic, the Eagles head coach has been using ChatGPT throughout the offseason to refresh his locker room approach, which he feared was getting stale: PHILADELPHIA — Nick Sirianni discovered […] The post 30 Questions and Prompts that Nick Sirianni May Have Run Through ChatGPT appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Trea Turner Played a Wild Baseball Game on Monday Night
Monday night may have been the craziest baseball game of Trea Turner’s 12-year career. Turner has been struggling on the defensive side of the ball. He has four errors in the last week, and is up to 15 errors on the year, after only committing 8 in 2025. The miscues did not stop on Monday […] The post Trea Turner Played a Wild Baseball Game on Monday Night appeared first on Crossing Broad .

The World Cup Final Wasn’t Any More Boring Than Super Bowl 60
Noted soccer expert Skip Bayless: Not that we care what Skip thinks, but his tweet is a setup for a counterargument. It seemed like plenty of people were underwhelmed by the World Cup final, and it’s hard to argue against that because Spain completely dominated Argentina. As much as you appreciate and respect what the […] The post The World Cup Final Wasn’t Any More Boring Than Super Bowl 60 appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Alec Bohm Suggests Phillies Offensive Slump is Because Pitchers are Really Good Now
After the Phillies lost to the Mets 6-1 on Sunday – their second loss in three games to the division rival and fifth in their last 10 – Alec Bohm was asked why he thinks the Phils have struggled at the plate lately, and had this to say: “A lot of it’s just got to […] The post Alec Bohm Suggests Phillies Offensive Slump is Because Pitchers are Really Good Now appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Phillies’ Field of Dreams Uniforms are Better Than the Road Grays and Possibly the City Connects
These are nice: It’s an appropriate throwback look for a throwback game, which will be played next month in Dyersville, Iowa. It’s about 35 minutes west from the bustling metropolis of Dubuque. These uniforms pull from the designs of the 1930s and 1940s, with the block P hat, navy trim, and tilted “Phillies” written in […] The post The Phillies’ Field of Dreams Uniforms are Better Than the Road Grays and Possibly the City Connects appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Gabriel Rincones Jr. Not Having His Sunglasses on Shows How Unprepared the Phillies are to Win
The Phillies lost to the Mets on Sunday. They dropped two of three in the series. In their last ten games, they’re 5-5. And if you’re wondering why the Phillies are slumping, look no further than Gabriel Rincones Jr.’s bald unpreparedness as he tracks a fly ball without his sunglasses on, then has to scramble […] The post Gabriel Rincones Jr. Not Having His Sunglasses on Shows How Unprepared the Phillies are to Win appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Donald Trump Wins the World Cup With Spain
President Trump has done it again. One year after winning the Club World Cup with Chelsea F.C., he was back in “New York / New Jersey Stadium” with Spain to claim the Copa Mundial after a hard-fought 1-nil win over Argentina: lol We saw this coming, didn’t we? He was gonna do the same thing […] The post Donald Trump Wins the World Cup With Spain appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Phillies Reportedly Calling Up Alex McFarlane
The Phillies are calling up their 17th-ranked prospect Alex McFarlane, according to multiple reports. McFarlane was brought up to the majors back on April 24th but never made an appearance. At the time, the Phillies had Brad Keller in their bullpen and were not struggling for arms. That is no longer the case. McFarlane, 25, […] The post Phillies Reportedly Calling Up Alex McFarlane appeared first on Crossing Broad .
World Cup Final: British Broadcaster Thought Pharrell Williams was “AKA Rocky”
This was pretty funny from the World Cup final: Love how Guy Mowbray corrects it from “AKA Rocky” to “A$AP Rocky,” but it’s still the wrong person. I guess they do kind of look alike while wearing glasses and sitting there in a luxury box, but still. There were generic complaints about the FIFA broadcast […] The post World Cup Final: British Broadcaster Thought Pharrell Williams was “AKA Rocky” appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Cam Skattebo: Great Football Player and Also Dumber Than a Box of Rocks
When Cam Skattebo was carted off of Lincoln Financial Field in October of 2025, the Philadelphia crowd gave him a standing ovation. Eagles fans know a baller when they see one, hence the show of respect for an NFC East division rival. He was only two weeks removed from a 19-carry game against the Birds […] The post Cam Skattebo: Great Football Player and Also Dumber Than a Box of Rocks appeared first on Crossing Broad .
