There is No Point in Doing Cautionary Tales with James Franklin, Who Lost at Home to Pitt’s Backup QB After Four Virginia Tech Turnovers
I saw some people sharing this column on social. It’s from CBS Sports’ John Talty and titled “Penn State fired James Franklin to join college football’s elite — instead, it became a cautionary tale.” The subheader reads – “The Nittany Lions’ mess of a coaching search and stumbling start to 2026 should serve as a […] The post There is No Point in Doing Cautionary Tales with James Franklin, Who Lost at Home to Pitt’s Backup QB After Four Virginia Tech Turnovers appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Opinion: The Dodgers Fan Who Refused to Give His Foul Ball to a Little Kid Did the Right Thing
This story about a Dodgers fan refusing to give a foul ball he caught to a little kid is going pretty viral, and I feel strongly enough about it to weigh in. Here’s the original video: Naturally, the Dodgers fan got ripped for this online, leading him to respond with a post of his own […] The post Opinion: The Dodgers Fan Who Refused to Give His Foul Ball to a Little Kid Did the Right Thing appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Stephen A Smith Apologizes for Lane Johnson and Mental Health Comments
Stephen A Smith apologized on Thursday for mocking Lane Johnson’s retirement: “My intent was joking about the Eagles. Bottom line is this – it doesn’t matter what my intent was. It’s how it’s perceived. I messed up. By the way, for those of you out there (watching) right now, this is not ESPN. This is […] The post Stephen A Smith Apologizes for Lane Johnson and Mental Health Comments appeared first on Crossing Broad .
10 Alternate Modes of Transportation LeBron James Can Use if the Fanatics Helicopter Becomes Unavailable
As you know, LeBron James is currently commuting between New York and Philadelphia via helicopter. He’s using a Fanatics-branded chopper as part of the 2024 sponsorship deal he signed with Michael Rubin’s company. The chopper commute is totally legitimate and legal. It’s not some Aspiration and Kawhi Leonard situation, as haters allege. LeBron became a […] The post 10 Alternate Modes of Transportation LeBron James Can Use if the Fanatics Helicopter Becomes Unavailable appeared first on Cross...
Never Forget That Cam Jurgens Played with a Broken Back to Help the Eagles Win a Super Bowl
Cam Jurgens was traded to the Ravens on Wednesday. The Eagles swapped the two-time Pro Bowler and a 2027 7th-round pick for a 2027 5th-round pick and a 2028 2nd-round pick. It feels like the end of an era, in a way. Along with Lane Johnson announcing his retirement on Tuesday, Jurgens’ departure is just […] The post Never Forget That Cam Jurgens Played with a Broken Back to Help the Eagles Win a Super Bowl appeared first on Crossing Broad .
LeBron James’ Impact on the Sixers Extends Well Beyond the Basketball Court
It typically doesn’t take long in a Sixers conversation to be reminded that this franchise hasn’t made it past the second playoff round in 25 years. It’s been roughly 13 since the Process era began. There have been quite a few different flavors of sour postseason exits. From quadruple-bounces on the rim, unsatisfactory backup center […] The post LeBron James’ Impact on the Sixers Extends Well Beyond the Basketball Court appeared first on Crossing Broad .
As Long as Howie Roseman is Around, the Eagles Will Be in Positions to Reload, not Rebuild
When the Eagles traded Cam Jurgens to the Ravens on Wednesday, the draft and cap guys started thinking. Fans and media joined in. What was the key takeaway? What was the #1 thing that trumped everything else? I think it’s this: Howie acquired both of these guys in 2022, won a Super Bowl with them, […] The post As Long as Howie Roseman is Around, the Eagles Will Be in Positions to Reload, not Rebuild appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Phil Martelli Returns to Saint Joe’s Campus
I scrolled past this truly excellent post earlier on: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Saint Joseph’s Basketball (@sjuhawks_mbb) Hell yeah. There he is. The man himself. Phil Martelli back in Hagan Arena. It’s about damn time. This is long overdue, but nevertheless, I will take it. Nature is healing… For those […] The post Phil Martelli Returns to Saint Joe’s Campus appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Stephen A Smith is Getting Killed for Mocking Lane Johnson’s Retirement (UPDATED)
Video clip: “A dude that has been in the league forever, sits back and says, ‘I need to focus on my mental health’ and as an offensive tackle, lord you know it’s bad. There’s no way. (If) you’re undefeated, you’re winning football games, you’re thriving, everybody’s got Super Bowl in their sights, you walk away.

LeBron Calls Bullshit on Mike Breen’s Story of Joel Embiid Being Late to the Practice Court (UPDATED)
There really is a new LeBron story every day. It’s pretty fun. I enjoy thinking about the Sixers. It’s nice having new Sixers stuff to think about every time I wake up. Here’s what we got cooking this morning: During the broadcast of the Sixers’ first preseason game against the Knicks, Mike Breen told a […] The post LeBron Calls Bullshit on Mike Breen’s Story of Joel Embiid Being Late to the Practice Court (UPDATED) appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Vic Fangio Says He Isn’t Worried About the Eagles Pass Rush, but Maybe He Should Be
The Eagles have 4 sacks this season. That ranks 28th in the NFL. Not good. They have a 2.8% sack rate. That ranks 30th in the NFL. Not good. But as concerning as those numbers sound, Vic Fangio didn’t seem too worried when asked about the pass rush during the team’s midweek press availability: Q.

Eagles Trading Cam Jurgens, and the Timing is Funny Considering That Mitchell Schwartz Tweet
According to Schefty: That’s incredible return. You’re trading Jurgens and a 7th to Baltimore for a 5th and a 2nd? That’s more than what they used to draft him back in 2022! You have to pull the trigger on an offer like that if it comes your way. Now the Willie Lampkin era begins in […] The post Eagles Trading Cam Jurgens, and the Timing is Funny Considering That Mitchell Schwartz Tweet appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Report: Alex Cora is Going to Sit Out the 2027 MLB Season
Alex Cora will not manage the Phillies in 2027, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. “Dave Dombrowski, Phillies president of baseball operations, spoke with Cora about becoming their manager in 2027,” Nightengale said in a recent article, “but Cora informed Dombrowski he’s taking the season off, a high-ranking Phillies executive with direct knowledge of […] The post Report: Alex Cora is Going to Sit Out the 2027 MLB Season appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Study Ranks Philadelphia as the Worst American City to Drive in
A new study from WalletHub has found that out of the 100 largest American cities, Philadelphia is the worst city to drive in: Source: WalletHub This sounds right to me. Can’t imagine anyone in the area being surprised by this. Driving here is extremely bad. If anything, it feels kind of good to have WalletHub […] The post Study Ranks Philadelphia as the Worst American City to Drive in appeared first on Crossing Broad .
People Will Say the Sixers are Cheating Even if You Give Them Undeniable Proof that the LeBron James Helicopter Situation is 100% Legitimate
I’ve already written about LeBron and his helicopter a bunch on this website, and somehow it’s looking like the story is only just getting started. TMZ reported on Monday that the helicopters LeBron has been taking from NYC to Philly and back are chartered by Fanatics free of charge, courtesy of CEO and former Sixers […] The post People Will Say the Sixers are Cheating Even if You Give Them Undeniable Proof that the LeBron James Helicopter Situation is 100% Legitimate appeared first on Cross...
Sixers Facing Familiar Backup Center Problem Following Ariel Hukporti Injury
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Despite the additions of LeBron James, Jaylen Brown, and about as great an offseason as could possibly be imagined, perhaps the biggest concern with this Sixers team is how they will survive the non-Joel Embiid minutes. It has been a long path of trying to […] The post Sixers Facing Familiar Backup Center Problem Following Ariel Hukporti Injury appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Lane Johnson Announces Retirement
Lane posted this just before 4 p.m. – Johnson was a late absence from Sunday’s game due to personal reasons. In the statement, he says, in part – “I deeply wanted to gut it out for one more year; to take the field with my brothers for one last season. But after a lot of […] The post Lane Johnson Announces Retirement appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Here Comes Michael Bunting to Save the Flyers
Danny B made a move: Bunting played for Rick Tocchet in Arizona. Brief stint out there in his early 20s before he went to Toronto and became a 20-goal scorer. He’s floated around over the past 3-4 years, playing for the Hurricanes and Yinzers before splitting last season with the Predators and Stars. He scored […] The post Here Comes Michael Bunting to Save the Flyers appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The 2024 Eagles Didn’t Have an Offensive Identity After Four Games, Therefore Nick Sirianni’s Recent Identity Comments are Overrated
There was a slight bit of reactive Negadelphia when Nick Sirianni said this after Sunday’s putrid Eagles loss: Q. I know you have guys down and it’s still early. It’s only four games in, but what is the identity of the offense? Nick Sirianni: Obviously, it hasn’t been good enough. I think that’s still — […] The post The 2024 Eagles Didn’t Have an Offensive Identity After Four Games, Therefore Nick Sirianni’s Recent Identity Comments are Overrated appeared first on Crossing Broad .
NFL Suspends a Couple of Referees for Acting Like Jabronies
Today is a massive day for the anti-ref community all across the globe: According to ESPN, the NFL has suspended two refs for unprofessional conduct toward players. This is good. This, at long last, is justice. Here’s what happened: Referee Adrian Hill Hill will serve a two-game suspension for his reaction to getting accidentally knocked […] The post NFL Suspends a Couple of Referees for Acting Like Jabronies appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Jaylen Brown Cooked in His First Sixers Preseason Game
We’ve all done a whole lot of talking about this new-look Sixers team, but on Monday night, it was finally time to #throwtheballup and get some real basketball in. Felt pretty great to see it.

Your CVS Receipt is Nothing in Length When Compared to the Eagles’ Injury Report
Meantime: The list is so long that it doesn’t even fit in the embedded tweet. The other three guys are: What’s funny, or maybe sad, is that the injuries to Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby have resulted in Will Shipley appearing next to Joe Mixon and Tyreek Hill as “trending” fantasy football players.

Rick Tocchet Says it’s His Fault that Flyers are “Way Too Comfortable” and Not Competing
It seems like every game the Flyers play in Tampa is a low-scoring slop fest, and Monday night was no different. They mustered 14 shots in a 4-1 loss that would have been blown open in the second period if not for the play of Dan Vladar, who stood on his head and gave the […] The post Rick Tocchet Says it’s His Fault that Flyers are “Way Too Comfortable” and Not Competing appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Eagles Would’ve Won if They Didn’t Botch These Two Plays in a Row
I’m not here to make excuses. There are no excuses to be made. The Eagles lost on Sunday, plain and simple. They had plenty of chances to put the game away and they failed to do it. A bunch of people deserve blame. Nick Sirianni. Sean Mannion. Jalen Hurts. The whole offensive line. Those guys […] The post The Eagles Would’ve Won if They Didn’t Botch These Two Plays in a Row appeared first on Crossing Broad .
