Aidan Miller is Tearing Up the Arizona Fall League
The Sixers are humming, the Eagles stink, and the Flyers are struggling. Now may be the perfect time to turn on the Arizona Fall League, because Aidan Miller is ripping the cover off of the ball. Through 12 games with the Surprise Saguaros, he’s slashing .359/.590/.564 with 14 hits, 4 doubles, 2 triples, 7 RBIs, […] The post Aidan Miller is Tearing Up the Arizona Fall League appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Brewers Have Taught Us That the Phillies Must Smoke Cigarettes to Win the World Series
Watching the Brewers tear through the playoffs and win the World Series in pretty dominant fashion, I couldn’t help but look for lessons to be learned and wonder how they could be applied to the Phillies. A few were obvious. Small ball is back. Player development can get you better results than wild free agent […] The post The Brewers Have Taught Us That the Phillies Must Smoke Cigarettes to Win the World Series appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Nick Minicucci is Going to Put Delaware on His Back and Carry the Hens to a Bowl Game
Short college football blog, but not about Temple or Penn State, because both programs turned out to be huge disappointments this season. The Owls are 2-5 and a +4.5 road dog against East Carolina this weekend. Penn State is 3-4 and a -10.5 home favorite against 3-4 Purdue. Talk about appointment viewing in Happy Valley.

The Phillies have informed Garrett Stubbs that he will be designated for assignment, according to Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Stubbs, 33, learned of the decision on Thursday, according to Lauber. The Phillies will have a week to find a trade for Stubbs, and if they cannot, Stubbs reportedly will elect free agency. It’s […] The post Phillies Will Reportedly DFA Garrett Stubbs appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Hilarious Optics, as Philadelphia Sports Writers Association Will Honor a Nova Knick at 2027 Banquet, Which is at The Palestra
This is pretty funny: Why is it funny? Well, Brunson plays for the hated Knicks, who recently swept the Sixers en route to their first title since the Stone Age. Recent winners of this award include Cristopher Sanchez, Saquon Barkley, Carli Lloyd, Jaron Ennis, and Jalen Hurts, so they usually give it to a current […] The post Hilarious Optics, as Philadelphia Sports Writers Association Will Honor a Nova Knick at 2027 Banquet, Which is at The Palestra appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Eagles Might Be Down to RB6 and RB7 on Sunday Night Football
Eagles running back update: They play the Commies in Washington on Sunday Night Football. To review: If Saquon can’t play this weekend, they’re down to RB6 in Elijah Mitchell and RB7 in Jaydon Blue, who got some burn in the Cowboys’ preseason before winding up on the Eagles’ practice squad. It’s always interesting/sad to check […] The post Eagles Might Be Down to RB6 and RB7 on Sunday Night Football appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Jalen Carter Says it “Doesn’t Really Matter What the Fans Want” in a Quote That Probably Should’ve Just Been a Thought
Jalen Carter is having a fascinating season. On the year, he has 18 total tackles (8 solo, 10 assisted), 3 sacks, 5 tackles for loss, 2 quarterback hits, 6 quarterback hurries, 1 knockdown, 3 forced fumbles, and 2 passes defended. Among defensive tackles in 2026, those numbers rank him 1st in forced fumbles, 2nd in […] The post Jalen Carter Says it “Doesn’t Really Matter What the Fans Want” in a Quote That Probably Should’ve Just Been a Thought appeared first on Crossing Broad .
That Tyrese Maxey Late-Game Pick and Roll Must Be a Nightmare to Defend
The Sixers are 4-1 this season with wins against the defending champion Knicks, Cavs, Bucks, and Pacers. They lead the league in clutch points and have the second best 4th quarter point differential and second best 4th quarter defensive rating. They’re playing their best basketball late, which has been enough to make up for some […] The post That Tyrese Maxey Late-Game Pick and Roll Must Be a Nightmare to Defend appeared first on Crossing Broad .

NBC Sports Philadelphia is So Sick of Watching the Flyers That They’re Switching to the Sixers, Mid-Broadcast
The Flyers have lost three straight. They only have three wins on the season, and currently sit at a dismal 3-7-4 for a measly 10 points. Their season started on September 30th, by the way. The Flyers have three wins in a month’s time. Woof. In short, they’re an awful team that makes for a truly […] The post NBC Sports Philadelphia is So Sick of Watching the Flyers That They’re Switching to the Sixers, Mid-Broadcast appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Washington DB Guarantees Commanders Will Beat the Eagles on Sunday
The Eagles are heading down to D.C. to take on the Commanders on Sunday night, and Washington DB Amik Robertson has personally guaranteed it’s going to be a W for the home team: ROBERTSON: “We definitely need to win this game. And we will, you know? We gotta be detailed. We gotta practice hard. We […] The post Washington DB Guarantees Commanders Will Beat the Eagles on Sunday appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Flyers Were Fun for a Few Games… Now What?
Flyers lost again, 5-2 in Washington. That’s three in a row, though they did get a loser point against Columbus. It feels like the three-game win streak was a hundred years ago, that stretch between October 17th and October 21st when they started to figure it out and looked like they would climb out of […] The post The Flyers Were Fun for a Few Games… Now What? appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Union Fully Erase Dreadful Start to Make the Playoffs for the Eighth Time in Nine Seasons
We would not call Wednesday night’s nil-nil draw between the Union and Nashville an “instant classic.” But the U went down there without Milan Iloski, Bruno Damiani, and Cavan Sullivan, and gutted out a point against Major League Soccer’s best team, a team that rested a couple of starters but threw those guys on the […] The post Union Fully Erase Dreadful Start to Make the Playoffs for the Eighth Time in Nine Seasons appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Biggest Positive Right Now is How Good the Sixers Have Been in the Fourth Quarter
Small sample size, but the Sixers are one of the best fourth quarter teams through this early part of the NBA season. Your eyeballs are good enough to confirm, as you watched the team rebound from a hideous third quarter on Wednesday night to outscore the Pacers 39 to 21 in the final frame and […] The post Biggest Positive Right Now is How Good the Sixers Have Been in the Fourth Quarter appeared first on Crossing Broad .
It’s Becoming Increasingly Clear that the Sixers are Tyrese Maxey’s Team
The Philadelphia 76ers are off to a 4-1 start to the season, tied for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. After an offseason filled with forced skepticism and concerns that there was only one basketball for all the star-studded additions, it’s been impressive how quickly the hierarchy of this Sixers team seems to have […] The post It’s Becoming Increasingly Clear that the Sixers are Tyrese Maxey’s Team appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Of Course Nick Sirianni Says Effort Was Not an Issue vs. Cowboys – What’s He Supposed to Say?
The Eagles are 2-5. Several key pieces are either banged up or done for the year, including Jalen Hurts, Devonta Smith, and Saquon Barkley. Lane Johnson retired. Cam Jurgens was traded. The offense is bad. The defense is bad. The season feels like it’s slipping away. All that considered, you could understand why the Eagles’ […] The post Of Course Nick Sirianni Says Effort Was Not an Issue vs. Cowboys – What’s He Supposed to Say? appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Allen Iverson Says He Knows For a Fact That the Sixers Are Going to the Finals
Allen Iverson is a wise man. I’m going to choose to believe Allen Iverson when he says all this stuff: Transcribed: JEFF SKVERSKY: “Do you think he (LeBron James) can help take this team to the Finals for the first time since ’01?“ IVERSON: “Do I think? No, I know. For a fact. It’s gonna […] The post Allen Iverson Says He Knows For a Fact That the Sixers Are Going to the Finals appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Joey Merlino Will Be Thrilled to Know That Philadelphia Has Appointed a “Rat Abatement Manager”
Philadelphia appoints its first Rat Abatement Manager, long‑time health employee Adrian Jordan, to combat the city’s notorious rodent problem. Jordan will launch door‑to‑door surveys in neighborhoods like Oxford Circle and Castor Gardens to spot and prioritize rat issues before complaints arise. The move follows NBC 10 and Terminix data ranking Philadelphia third nationwide for rat infestations in 2025, behind Los Angeles and New York. Officials hope the new role will coordinate city departments, offer residents guidance, and finally curb the pervasive rodent presence.
Nick Foles Says There’s Dysfunction in Philly, Points to the Eagles’ Culture as the Problem
Pretty much everything is going wrong for the Eagles in 2026, and Nick Foles says that the team’s litany of problems boils down to the culture changing for the worse: “There’s dysfunction in Philly… You can feel it. You can see it. I love Philly. I love the fans, I love Philly… and the thing […] The post Nick Foles Says There’s Dysfunction in Philly, Points to the Eagles’ Culture as the Problem appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Opinion: When Villanova Comes Crawling Back – Which They 100% Will – the Big 5 Should Not Let Them In
If you haven’t heard, Villanova killed the Big 5 last week. Some people have been trying to frame that as an opinion, but it’s not. It’s a fact. Here’s the short version of what happened: With the current three-year format coming to an end after this season, Villanova gave the other schools an ultimatum: set […] The post Opinion: When Villanova Comes Crawling Back – Which They 100% Will – the Big 5 Should Not Let Them In appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Hey, at Least We Now Have a Blueprint for How Makai Lemon Should Be Used
We’re all about positivity at Crossing Broad, and one of the very few silver linings from Monday night’s debacle was a coming out party for 1st round draft pick Makai Lemon. Call it a Lemon Party, if you will, as the rookie went for 67 yards and a touchdown on seven receptions: Nothing crazy in […] The post Hey, at Least We Now Have a Blueprint for How Makai Lemon Should Be Used appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Rick Tocchet Says Flyers’ Overtime Decision Making Has Been “Mind Boggling”
Wild game on Tuesday night. The Flyers were down 3-0 at home to the Blue Jackets, came all the way back to tie it with just 9 seconds left in the third period, then lost in overtime in somewhat comical fashion: That was a 2-on-0, right after the Jackets had JUST gone on a 2-on-0 […] The post Rick Tocchet Says Flyers’ Overtime Decision Making Has Been “Mind Boggling” appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Brian Scalabrine Already Walks Back His Fake Jaylen Brown Trade Request Report
The fallout of Jaylen Brown’s exit with the Boston Celtics and his deteriorated relationship with Jayson Tatum may very well be the story of the NBA season. Don’t expect these headlines to stop just yet, with the new Sixers’ star certainly not ducking the conversation whenever he is asked. This is especially true as the […] The post Brian Scalabrine Already Walks Back His Fake Jaylen Brown Trade Request Report appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Five Takeaways From the Ben Simmons Propaganda Documentary
The Philadelphia 76ers have kicked off the season in pursuit of a championship with arguably the most talented roster the franchise has ever assembled. But it’s been a long, winding path to get here, with plenty of key players failing to live up to their potential as franchise cornerstones. Headlining this conversation is former first […] The post Five Takeaways From the Ben Simmons Propaganda Documentary appeared first on Crossing Broad .
