Sure Sounds Like We’re Gonna Get Point Guard LeBron in Philly
John Clark sat down with Nick Nurse to catch up on the new-look Sixers, and the Philadelphia head coach more or less confirmed what Shams reported on last week: LeBron James is going to be running some point guard this season: “I think he’s an offense creator, right? He certainly is a guy that will […] The post Sure Sounds Like We’re Gonna Get Point Guard LeBron in Philly appeared first on Crossing Broad .
RADIO WARS: Jon Marks and Andrew Salciunas are Looking for a Producer
It was announced on Tuesday that Jon Marks will replace John Kincade and work with Andrew Salciunas on 97.5 the Fanatic’s morning show. Now the pair are looking for a producer: “We’re looking for our morning show producer. This is a full-time job and we’re casting a wide net… We have a lot of great […] The post RADIO WARS: Jon Marks and Andrew Salciunas are Looking for a Producer appeared first on Crossing Broad .
How Will the Snobs Transport Their Diner En Blanc Equipment if Wagons are (Allegedly) Banned?
One of our guys came across this Facebook post from Diner En Blanc Philadelphia. It was then deleted, very mysteriously! But it said that wagons and hard coolers won’t be allowed at DEB 2026: There was also this post, saying that an email went out to DEB participants: We’ll have to “effort” more on this.

Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me Luis Arraez Was a Swag Guy?
I didn’t know Luis Arraez was a swag guy. No one told me this. If anything, I would’ve thought he was boring because the big knock on him is that he only hits singles, which is the most boring kind of hit. But I was dead wrong. And I’m delighted to be wrong. Arraez has […] The post Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me Luis Arraez Was a Swag Guy? appeared first on Crossing Broad .
CeeDee Lamb Debuts New Beekeeper Look at Cowboys Training Camp
What’s going on with Dem Boyz? Let’s get an update from training camp: This is a good drill. After all, CeeDee might have to play a game this year in which there are a lot of bees flying around. And the bees have Malaria. Or maybe this is preparation for the sun glare at Jerry […] The post CeeDee Lamb Debuts New Beekeeper Look at Cowboys Training Camp appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Mike Gansey Affirms that Sixers “Don’t Get LeBron Without Jaylen, That’s For Sure”
Sixers President of Basketball Operations and possible genius Mike Gansey threw out the first pitch at the Phillies game on Tuesday before joining TMac and Kruk in the booth, where he spoke about signing LeBron and dropped this great tidbit: Exchange: MCCARTHY: “How long after you acquired Jaylen did the phone ring, or did you… […] The post Mike Gansey Affirms that Sixers “Don’t Get LeBron Without Jaylen, That’s For Sure” appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Colin Cowherd With a Good Monologue on Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, and the Farcical Athletes-and-Politics Topic
As you know, the Caitlin Clark/Sophie Cunningham/trans athlete/WNBA/etc. conversation is the most exhausting and ridiculous in sports right now. It could possibly be the most preposterous running combination of topics in the history of the universe, this incredible intersection of politics, sexuality, race, gender, human physiology, and related subjects. It’s a shit show. The far […] The post Colin Cowherd With a Good Monologue on Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, and the Farcical Athletes-a...
“What Kind of Person Brings a Laser to a Game?” Asks John Kruk
A jabroni brought a laser pointer to Citizens Bank Park: Feels like we haven’t had a laser incident in a while. Lasers are so passe’. They were cool 15 years ago, or at the Boyertown Planetarium in 1999 when the teacher would hand one to you and say “point to Orion’s Belt.” Then you felt […] The post “What Kind of Person Brings a Laser to a Game?” Asks John Kruk appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Hell? – Target is Selling Sick Eagles Starter Jackets
The tweet that brought this to my attention, with a photo from a Target in West Goshen: I am shocked by this. I haven’t been to Target in a very long time, and I guess no one told me Target has sick-ass clothes now. Last time I went to one – had to be around […] The post The Hell? – Target is Selling Sick Eagles Starter Jackets appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Luis Arraez is a Jolt of Unique Energy, Which is Exactly What the Phillies Needed
Luis Arraez pounded his chest and screamed at the dugout like they just won the World Series after his first Phillies hit. That, right there, is exactly what the Phillies need. The new Phillies second baseman, and cleanup hitter, made his Phillies debut in Tuesday night’s 5-0 win over the Nationals. Arraez, the 29-year-old 3-time […] The post Luis Arraez is a Jolt of Unique Energy, Which is Exactly What the Phillies Needed appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The New MLS Commissioner is a Cherry Hill Guy
The news: Cherry Hill, the international incubator of sports leadership, has done it again: native Larry Berg will be the new MLS commissioner. Berg was a co-owner of LAFC before being voted into his new position. He will now succeed Don Garber, who’s been MLS commissioner since 1999. That’s a pretty long reign for a […] The post The New MLS Commissioner is a Cherry Hill Guy appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Royals Have Designated Matt Strahm for Assignment
Meantime: 7.32 ERA this season. His HR/9 is 9.8 and his BB/9 is 3.5. He’s coming off three appearances in a row with at least one run allowed and he’s given up four home runs since the beginning of July, when his ERA was 5.53. So the answer is no. No to a Phillies return. […] The post The Royals Have Designated Matt Strahm for Assignment appeared first on Crossing Broad .
RADIO WARS: Jon Marks is Your New Morning Host at 97.5 the Fanatic
John Kincade will be replaced on the 97.5 the Fanatic morning show by Jon Marks. The in-house move was announced at 3 p.m. – “Coming up first, a brand-new morning show, joining Andrew Salciunas in the morning, the one and only Jonny Marks, for a brand-new morning show, Marks and Salciunas,” said afternoon host Bill […] The post RADIO WARS: Jon Marks is Your New Morning Host at 97.5 the Fanatic appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Shoutout to the AAA Employee in South Philly With a LeBron James-as-Ben Franklin Computer Wallpaper
The tweet: Hell yeah. This is a great to see: some employee at a AAA in South Philly was so excited about LeBron, so thrilled, so beside themselves, that they had to change the office computer wallpaper to a Photoshop of LeBron as Benjamin Franklin. That’s a real fan. That’s what fandom is all about. […] The post Shoutout to the AAA Employee in South Philly With a LeBron James-as-Ben Franklin Computer Wallpaper appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Jaylen Brown’s Latest Twitch Stream Gifted Us a Bounty Of Great Content
First off, I feel like I should say: This rules. I’m really enjoying having Jaylen Brown on the Sixers, and the season is still three months away. He goes skydiving in Egypt. Sources close to him allegedly say he has no ego anymore. And, of course, he does Twitch streams pretty often, which are always […] The post Jaylen Brown’s Latest Twitch Stream Gifted Us a Bounty Of Great Content appeared first on Crossing Broad .
“Royal Farms is Better Than Wawa,” According to Foolish Orioles Fan
Maybe trolling, maybe serious, maybe both at Camden Yards this past weekend: I was appalled by the number of replies saying something like, “yes Royal Farms is better than Wawa.” At what? At fried chicken? Royal Farms is only known for chicken. That’s it. There is nothing else that Royal Farms does better than Wawa, […] The post “Royal Farms is Better Than Wawa,” According to Foolish Orioles Fan appeared first on Crossing Broad .
I’m Out Here Trying to Be a Good Urbanist and the City of Philadelphia is Ticketing Me Anyway
I got a speeding ticket for driving 38 on very-North Broad Street back in June: There is nothing like getting a speed camera ticket in the mail. Exhilarating! You go through a rapid-fire spectrum of reactions: Then you realize you’re stuck with a $100 fine and you can’t do anything about it. You’re up against […] The post I’m Out Here Trying to Be a Good Urbanist and the City of Philadelphia is Ticketing Me Anyway appeared first on Crossing Broad .
It Appears as Though John Clark Has Some Competition on the Philly Airport Beat
Luis Arraez will make his Phillies debut on Tuesday night vs. the Nats. He showed up at the airport on Monday night and was greeted, of course, by John Clark, but it turns out that FOX 29’s Jeff Skversky was also in the house: Look at Skversky getting in on the airport routine. He’s got […] The post It Appears as Though John Clark Has Some Competition on the Philly Airport Beat appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The First LeBron James Mural is Up in Philly and Thankfully it’s Not at Garage Fishtown
The time has finally come. LeBron James has his first Philly mural: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bill Strobel (@billstro4_art) This looks sick. This is good to see. Getting the murals started is a very exciting step in this LeBron journey. Like every other big step up to this point, seeing […] The post The First LeBron James Mural is Up in Philly and Thankfully it’s Not at Garage Fishtown appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Tyrese Maxey is the Sixers Miracle That Keeps on Giving
Improbable is a word that should be associated with Tyrese Maxey’s tenure in Philadelphia. It was improbable that the Sixers would even get their top-20 protected draft pick back in 2020 that was used to select him. It was improbable that Tyrese Maxey would fall to the 21st pick to be available to be selected. […] The post Tyrese Maxey is the Sixers Miracle That Keeps on Giving appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Key Takeaways From Dave Dombrowski’s Post-Deadline Availability
The trade deadline is over, and it was underwhelming for the Phillies. The Phillies acquired Luis Arraez and Caleb Kilian earlier Monday morning from the San Francisco Giants for Ramon Marquez and Marty Gair. Just a couple minutes after the Arraez news broke, the team also acquired Brooks Raley from the Mets in exchange for […] The post Key Takeaways From Dave Dombrowski’s Post-Deadline Availability appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Don Mattingly Says Phillies Did Not Consider Moving Trea Turner to the Outfield
Don Mattingly after the Phils traded for Luis Arraez and a couple of bullpen arms: It is objectively funny to think about every infielder except for Trea Turner moving to a new position. Turner has 18 errors on 388 chances this season, which is a .954 fielding percentage. 2025 was clearly an aberration. He’s 40th […] The post Don Mattingly Says Phillies Did Not Consider Moving Trea Turner to the Outfield appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Union are Back to Doing What They Do Best, Which is Bludgeoning the Other Team to Death with Wide Service
The Union won again on Saturday night, this time turning a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 win with a pair of stoppage-time goals. They were playing 11 vs. 10 for the better part of 70 minutes after Enea Mihaj’s first-half red card. It looked like it was going to be one of “those nights” at […] The post The Union are Back to Doing What They Do Best, Which is Bludgeoning the Other Team to Death with Wide Service appeared first on Crossing Broad .
I’m Cool With Jaylen Brown Doing Dangerous Stuff Like Skydiving if the Content is This Funny
If you didn’t hear, Jaylen Brown went skydiving in Egypt: A lot of Sixers fans were concerned about this. They pointed to the Sixers’ cursed recent history, riddled with mysterious health issues and poorly timed injuries and general freak accidents that only seem to happen to this team and those who join it: 76ers front […] The post I’m Cool With Jaylen Brown Doing Dangerous Stuff Like Skydiving if the Content is This Funny appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Here’s a List of People We Can Blame/Be Pissed at About the Dodgers Getting Tarik Skubal
Last week I wrote about how the Dodgers were favored to land Tarik Skubal before the trade deadline. In the time since, they actually did it. The Dodgers added the best pitcher in baseball to the best team in baseball. It’s fucked up. There can be no question that it’s fucked up.
