I Regret to Inform You That Jalen Brunson Refusing to Sign a Giants Helmet Was Pretty Cool
I’ve been pretty outspoken on my Jalen Brunson opinion: I do not like the guy. I’m a Saint Joe’s alum who hates Villanova. I’m a Sixers fan who hates the Knicks. I’m a Philly native who wants New York fans unhappy at all times. I’m a defender of ethical hoops who hates foul grifting bullshit.

A List of Everyone to Blame for Kyle Schwarber’s Bullshit Non-Home Run
Kyle Schwarber knew it was gone. The broadcast knew it was gone. Everyone in the ballpark and watching at home, bettors included, knew it was gone. The towering drive soared through the smoke-choked air, dropped into the stands, and bounced back onto the field as the crowd cheered. That’s a home run. Tie game. Kyle’s […] The post A List of Everyone to Blame for Kyle Schwarber’s Bullshit Non-Home Run appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Jamie Drysdale Deal is Done, and it’s a Good One
Danny B checking off boxes: This is less money than Simon Nemec and Pavel Mintyukov, who just got five years each at $36 million. That’s $7.2 million AAV. Drysdale’s contract comes in one year shorter in term, but the AAV is $6.5 million, which is the same number that Dmitry Orlov, Torey Krug, and Justin […] The post The Jamie Drysdale Deal is Done, and it’s a Good One appeared first on Crossing Broad .
I’ve Had it With These Karens Posting Nasty and Incommensurate One-Star Chipotle Reviews on Google
Backstory: There’s a relatively new Chipotle up the street, in Towamencin Township. I went up there on Thursday and the employees were lamenting the fact that they have to listen to shitty music while working. I guess it’s corporate-selected fluff music? Something like that. We didn’t get too deep into it, but they wanted to […] The post I’ve Had it With These Karens Posting Nasty and Incommensurate One-Star Chipotle Reviews on Google appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Aaron Nola is Turning a Corner at the Right Time
Aaron Nola tossed six innings of three-run ball on Thursday night. Considering how his 2026 season started, you’ll take that every day of the week and twice on Sundays. The last 17 months have been pretty nightmarish for the Phillies’ veteran arm. Nola made 17 starts in 2025, totaling a 6.01 ERA before going down […] The post Aaron Nola is Turning a Corner at the Right Time appeared first on Crossing Broad .
$4 Million and a Designated Player Slot Honestly Feels Like an Underpay for Kai Wagner’s Philadelphia Return
In a totally unexpected turn of events, the Union are bringing back Kai Wagner from Birmingham City in the English Championship: Sky reporter Florian Pettenberg says the move is “driven by personal reasons,” and there’s been some chatter about the family being unsettled in England. If that’s true, it wouldn’t be too surprising considering Wagner […] The post $4 Million and a Designated Player Slot Honestly Feels Like an Underpay for Kai Wagner’s Philadelphia Return appeared first on Crossing...
This Phillies Fan Pulled Off the Perfect Celebrity Encounter With Kyle Schwarber in Avalon
The baseball season is a notoriously long, 162-game grind, especially for a player as consistent and productive as Kyle Schwarber. Throw in a near-win at the Home Run Derby and a (not great) All-Star Game appearance, and it’s good to know he took a well-deserved day off in Avalon on Wednesday, having interactions like this […] The post This Phillies Fan Pulled Off the Perfect Celebrity Encounter With Kyle Schwarber in Avalon appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Canada and Minnesota Need to Knock it Off With These Wildfires
The sky’s all hazy, the sun’s a weird color, my eyes sting, my throat’s kind of scratchy, and the news says I can’t go outside. This, sadly, is not anything new. We all know what it means – Canada is doing its wildfire bullshit again: As fires ripple across the great north and send hazardous […] The post Canada and Minnesota Need to Knock it Off With These Wildfires appeared first on Crossing Broad .

How Does the Jaylen Brown Trade Impact Joel Embiid’s Sixers Future?

I Feel Bad for the England Players Because Their Manager Totally Blew it
England lost to Argentina 2-1 in Wednesday’s World Cup semifinal. A heartbreaker. They were up 1-0 in the second half and playing well, then decided to deploy the soccer version of prevent defense and fell apart after the 85th minute: This loss was on the manager, Thomas Tuchel, who subbed off goal scorer Anthony Gordon […] The post I Feel Bad for the England Players Because Their Manager Totally Blew it appeared first on Crossing Broad .

If You Poo-Pooed the First Half of the 2026 Phillies Season, Here’s What You’ve Missed
I wrote in January I wouldn’t be poo-pooing the Phillies’ 2026 regular season. I’m a baseball fan, but even a casual baseball fan can sometimes appreciate the 162-game stretch that offers us a lot of highlights along the way towards October. While the season didn’t start off promising, as we sit here now, we’re lucky […] The post If You Poo-Pooed the First Half of the 2026 Phillies Season, Here’s What You’ve Missed appeared first on Crossing Broad .

The All-Star Game Was Pretty, Pretty Boring – Here are Some Ideas to Fix It
We can be honest here. That wasn’t great. Didn’t have a ton of fun watching that. Pretty flat stuff. The American League beat the National League 4-0 on Tuesday night in a game that wasn’t close and didn’t even really have any juice. The NL only notched three singles for the night, which is tied […] The post The All-Star Game Was Pretty, Pretty Boring – Here are Some Ideas to Fix It appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Yeah, the All-Star Game Sucked, but at Least Zack Hample Was Booooooooooooed
I was thinking to myself last night, “you know, we made it through All-Star week without seeing Zack Hample.“ Then, this video hit the feed: This video made me laugh because initially I thought Hample was holding up the ball to somebody’s face and taunting them, like, “look at what I’ve got right here!

Maybe Don Mattingly Forgot to Fill Out the “I Stand Up For” Cancer Card
There was a very nice moment during the All-Star Game in which FOX put together a “Stand Up to Cancer” tribute.

Kyle Schwarber With a Bill O’Reilly Moment on Live Television
Monday night, it was Schwarbombs. Tuesday night, it was F bombs: lmao Reminds me of Bill O’Reilly back in the day, when he worked on Inside Edition.
