Latest blog entries from Philadelphia teams across every league
Going head-to-head with positions doesn’t make much sense, since Brock Purdy isn’t going to be on the field at the same time as Jalen Hurts. Could you imagine how Purdy would look with A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith? It would be all hypothetical. So we’ll preview the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles based on […]
Is it Sunday yet? As we all await the Eagles squaring off with the 49ers in South Philadelphia, I’ll answer some questions from Birds fans in a new mailbag. Let’s get after it… @sean_foley (Instagram): Will Tank Bigsby get a steady set of carries after an impressive game against the Commanders He better! The Eagles’ […]
The San Francisco 49ers are on the road to begin the playoffs, facing the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. The 49ers had a disappointing end to the regular season, squandering an opportunity to win the NFC West and get the conference’s No. 1 seed with a 13-3 loss […]
Christian McCaffrey can do a great many things with the football in his hands. The San Francisco 49ers’ running back can do even more things, the NFL has found out, when operating in Kyle Shanahan’s system. In an interesting NFL twist, the 12-5 49ers are visiting Lincoln financial Field to play the 11-6 Eagles in […]
The injuries are suddenly piling up for the Philadelphia Flyers. They caught a break with Travis Sanheim and Denver Barkey both not missing any time after going down in Saturday’s win in Edmonton, but they haven’t been as lucky since returning home. Both Bobby Brink and Jamie Drysdale were injured on borderline hits in the Flyers’ 5-2 win over the Ducks. Anaheim was only penalized for one of those hits, and n one of the multiple questionable collisions received any supplemental disci...
The Philadelphia Flyers are beginning to turn the corner in their rebuild. They’re done being sellers at the deadline, instead extending guys like Christian Dvorak, who they might have traded in years past. Danny Briere and Keith Jones have done a great job of trimming down the fat and filling the prospect cupboards in recent years. Matvei Michkov is already here. Denver Barkey hasn’t looked out of place in the NHL during his first professional season. Jett Luchanko made the roster out of...
Update: Joel Embiid has officially been upgrade to probable on the 1 p.m. injury report. Kelly Oubre Jr. is listed as available. The only other players on the report are the team’s G League assignments — Justin Edwards, Johni Broome and MarJon Beauchamp. The Magic’s injury report remains the same. The Philadelphia 76ers are coming […]
The Flyers welcomed fan favorite Scott Laughton back to Philadelphia on Thursday night, but it was the veteran forward who got the last laugh. The Toronto Maple Leafs came away with a 2-1 win in overtime after Laughton tied the game with a shorthanded goal late in the third period. Laughton’s return was a much-anticipated one for both the player and his former team. The Flyers honored Laughton with a video during the first TV timeout of Thursday night’s game. There will always be Bro...
Last season, the Phillies had a plan for their starting rotation. They would start with Zack Wheeler, Cristopher Sanchez, Aaron Nola, Ranger Suarez and Jesus Luzardo all part of the group to begin the year as the core five, but their superprospect would join them in due time. Andrew Painter was recovered from Tommy John […]
For the last few years now, the Flyers have threaded the needle. They’ve been putting a middling to (now) decently good roster on the ice, but emphasized the goal of developing players and planning for the future above all else. They never would tank, but they also weren’t in the business of competing or really even getting close to the playoffs. In that process, they’ve never really added to the team, and only ever sold. They’ve acted the way that teams in a rebuild act, even if th...

The 31st annual “Quest for Six” begins on Sunday, as the San Francisco 49ers head east to take on the NFC East champion Philadelphia Eagles. It’s a return to the place of one of the plethora of playoff heartbreaks of the last decade and a half for the 49ers, with the Eagles defeating the quarterback-less […]
It seems that Dave Dombrowski and the Phillies may have another big move up their sleeves after all, as Matt Gelb of the Athletic reported yesterday that the team will have a meeting with free agent infielder Bo Bichette. In short, the report mentions that Bichette has become more of a possibility, but for a […]
Philadelphia Flyers winger Travis Konecny has been perfect this year: he hasn’t missed a game yet. He’s had a very strong first half, with 13 goals and 24 assists for 37 points. Yet if you extrapolate those numbers over the rest of the year, he might end up a hair behind the 76 points he earned in 2024-25. Right now that projection is 74. But, whether it’s recency bias or just a new season, Konecny has looked like the winger who dazzled most of the first half of 2024-25. And far less than the ...
Well, Friday is here again. Some Fridays are slow news days. Not this one. Lots happened. Well, technically this post is being written on Thursday, which was the actual day where lots happened. So this is more of a fast links day. If you want to be technical about it. Anyway, onto the links. Phillies […]
With things at a standstill on the Cody Bellinger front, more rumors are floating about their supposed Plan B, Bo Bichette. Jon Heyman reported that the Yankees are looking at Bichette “more seriously.” The Phillies have also expressed interest in Bichette, as have the same Blue Jays that he just left at the start of […]
*The Flyers decided to try and win a game by scoring only one single goal and turns out that’s a bad strategy. Power play stinks. Sitting on leads stinks. Game stunk! Recap ! *Travis Konecny left the game with a reported upper body injury. Hard to say what actually happened there, but it’ll stink if it’s serious! [ BSH ] *It was a nice homecoming for our old pal Scooty Loots, who got a nice little ovation when he wa announced at the XBox last night. [ Inquirer ] *Which makes sen...

Philadelphia Flyers forward Travis Konecny’s game was cut short on Thursday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
