Really Enjoyed Sean Mannion’s Explanation of Why He’s Going to Call Eagles Games From the Booth
Sean Mannion spoke to the media at his midweek press conference, and these quotes about his decision to call the offense from the box had me laughing: Q.

The Big Bad Rams Got Their Asses Kicked After Bill Plaschke Declared They Would Go Unbeaten in 2026
The Rams are the greatest team to ever exist. It’s a wrap. Crown them now. They’re a super team. They’re loaded. Matthew Stafford. Puka Nacua, Davante Adams. Aaron Donald. Myles Garrett. What else is there to say? What’s the point of even playing? There is no point. They’re too good. They’re too powerful.

The Phillies Shouldn’t Bean Ronald Acuña; They Should Beat Him
Last weekend, Ronald Acuña staked his claim for the prized role of Public Enemy Number One in Philadelphia.

Until Jesús Luzardo’s Monday masterpiece, the […] The post The Phillies Shouldn’t Bean Ronald Acuña; They Should Beat Him appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Thought This Was a Good Swipe at Pro Football Focus from Vic Fangio, RE: Jayden Daniels
You know the rules – If Pro Football Focus publishes a statistic that makes the Eagles look good, it is totally legitimate and worth sharing. But if PFF publishes a statistic that makes the Eagles look bad, they are illegitimate and just throwing shit against the wall. Cue this Thursday quote from Vic Fangio: Q.

It’s Time to Figure Out the Top of the Phillies Lineup, and There’s Really Only One Logical Choice
It’s time for the Phillies to set the lineup the way it’ll look in October. At least the first two spots.

Trea Turner has had […] The post It’s Time to Figure Out the Top of the Phillies Lineup, and There’s Really Only One Logical Choice appeared first on Crossing Broad .

I’m With the Boomers: Edmundo Sosa Has Gotta Hustle Out of the Box
The Phillies lost to the Astros 6-5 on Tuesday night, and things could’ve gone differently if Edmundo Sosa hadn’t pretty much blown it with his baserunning: Phillies down 6-4 in the ninth, no outs, Bryson Stott on first.
