Latest blog entries from Philadelphia teams across every league
In some notable yet unsurprising news, the Chargers are reportedly set to release offensive guard Mekhi Becton in the coming days, per ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler. Becton signed with the Chargers this past offseason after winning a Super Bowl with the Eagles but severely underwhelmed in his lone year out in Los Angeles. Becton […]
On Tuesday night, NBC flashed back to the 1990s and the result was more entertaining than any episode of Friends I’ve seen. With the NBA once more on the network this season as part of the league’s changing media rights landscape, NBC did a retro broadcast of the Sixers-Spurs game in Philadelphia. I adored it, […]
He's missed plenty of time this season, but Rasmus Ristolainen is back as a top-pairing Philadelphia Flyers defenseman, and he's proving to be a serious commodity at this trade deadline. The right-shot blueliner has been terrific in his time back in the lineup the past couple of months and is logging massive ice-time for Philly, culminating in a 27-minute workhorse effort in a win over Toronto Monday night. The Flyers will be charging a high price, though, for any team looking to t...
Coming out of the Olympic break with the playoffs looking like a longshot proposition, it is due time for the Flyers to play younger options, throw the lines in a blender, and try and find some combinations that could work for the future. Whether it be a Tippett-Zegras-Michkov line that loads up on offence, moving Denver Barkey onto the power play full-time, or a host of other more radical moves that could be made to shake things up, there’s really no limit on what the Flyers can do...
Poke the bear and you get the horns. Something like that. Everyone and their tax advisor knew that coming off their first lost in 10 games, the Spurs would come out swinging on Tuesday night. Boy howdy, did they wax the cow off that haystack. Devin Vassell and Dylan Harper both had a game high […]
Phillies News MLB News
The big MLB news yesterday centered on drug suspensions, as two NL Easy players were reportedly linked to PEDs. The Phillies’ Johan Rojas was in the second case of the day, but the first was far more prominent: the Braves’ Jurickson Profar. If that sounds familiar, it’s because the exact same thing happened to Profar […]
*We’ve got two more days and one more game before the trade deadline, and with the Flyers winning games it’s kinda up in the air what GMDB is going to do. The Flyers are pretty hot right now, which might complicate things a bit. [ Inquirer ] *Only four points out of a playoff spot! [ NBC Sports Philly ] *Good news though is that Danny Briere says they won’t be shopping for rentals. The thing you do when you’re going all-in to make a run. So good to know that he knows that’s a bad ide...
The SLC Dunk Staff and I were talking in our group chat recently and the topic of “The Process” came up. We were originally bashing the NBC/Peacock broadcast for airing a commercial that referred to the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers as “two teams that never rebuild, they just reload.” Apart from the blatant […]
San Antonio closed out an 8-1 Rodeo Road Trip with a 131-91 whipping of Philadelphia that saw eight Spurs get to double-digits scoring. Despite NBC’s pregame focus on the Sixers’ excellent starting guards, it was the Spurs’ perimeter players that stood tallest in a stunning 81-39 explosion across the second and third quarters that led […]
Another smashing success for the Sixers on national television. Philadelphia was trounced 131-91 by the San Antonio Spurs Tuesday night. They are 33-28, just a half game up and tied in the loss column with the Orlando Magic for the sixth seed. Tyrese Maxey, playing 25 minutes before the white flag was raised, put up […]
The NHL trade deadline is fast approaching and in less than 72 hours we’re going to find out whether or not the Philadelphia Flyers were involved in the action or not. Whether general manager Danny Briere made a couple of moves with a focus on the future, or stood pat because the team is suddenly within striking distance of the playoffs and the idea of an eighth consecutive year without postseason hockey in Philadelphia drives him crazy. The biggest move that could be on the table for the...
As if things weren’t going poorly enough, the Sixers will play the second half vs. the Spurs without VJ Edgecombe. The rookie guard injured his back after being fouled by Carter Bryant in the closing seconds of the first half. Edgecombe was able to get up and walk under his own power. He took the […]

Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much. The Spurs ruined their chance at a perfect Rodeo Road Trip […]
Eagles News The Philadelphia Eagles are expressing interest in Cleveland Browns free-agent tight end David Njoku, according to league sources who spoke with Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP.com, and the timing could not be more significant. With longtime Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert widely expected to depart Philadelphia this offseason after eight seasons, the team faces [...]
They’ve played 60 games and have 22 to go. That’s a possible 44 points available if they were to somehow run the table the last six weeks of the season. That’s probably not happening. However, after losing to Washington 3-1 in their first game after the Olympic break, Philadelphia has managed to beat the Rangers, then eke out victories against the Bruins and, on Monday night, Toronto. That’s six of a possible eight points. It puts them four points out of a wildcard spot heading into Tuesday ni...
As much as everyone is focused on A.J. Brown and his future in Philadelphia, there seems like a heightened sense of urgency for the Eagles to figure out if tight end Dallas Goedert could still be part of their plans for 2026 and beyond. Despite rumors from the NFL Combine suggesting Goedert will “definitely” be […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are going to at least get involved a couple times this week as Friday’s NHL trade deadline approaches. They don’t have a boatload of players to sell, and aren’t in a position to buy as they try to cement a spot in the playoffs, but they will continue planning for the long-term success of this team and building more and more towards that. One name that could be on the move, as you can tell by just looking at the homepage of Broad Street Hockey dot com, is defenseman...
It seems like the closer to free agency we get, the less likely it is that Dallas Goedert returns to Philadelphia next season. Losing the tight end will have a big impact on the Eagles offense, but a new report by Elliot Shorr-Parks suggests that the team has their eyes on another one of the […]
And the winner is…Bryce Harper! Last month, with the free agency period winding down, I looked at the Phillies’ free agent signings from years past to see if they had brought in any impact players later in the offseason. From there, the idea of a user-judged tournament began. While I had some hope that Ricardo […]
The Flyers went to yet another shootout Monday night as they took on the Toronto Maple Leafs up in Canada, and Trevor Zegras – along with Dan Vladar’s stellar goaltending – was the hero. His continued success in the shootout is something that could be a sneaky important skill for the Flyers as they look to move forward and compete for the playoffs. Trevor Zegras has been one of the most electric players in the shootout over his six-year NHL career – scoring highlight reel goals after high...
During Super Bowl week, former Eagle Beau Allen spoke with Ryan Fitzpatrick on the Green Light Podcast about the Eagles hiring Sean Mannion as their new OC. They were both intrigued by the hire, and Fitzpatrick provided some insight into why constantly changing coordinators has made things difficult for Philadelphia, but why an infusion of […]
It’s split squad day with one contingent of Rays traveling to take on the Twins and another contingent remaining in Port Charlotte to take on the Phillies. No TV today but the Twins radio team will cover that game and the Rays will have radio coverage of the game in Port Charlotte. We will have […]
Today we look at the Cubs’ new left-handed reliever. Hoby Milner came to the Cubs as a free agent after spending a year as a Texas Ranger, where he had a little success, as he has had during a long career, previously with the Phillies, Rays, and Brewers. His ERA and peripherals weren’t so great, […]
