This Dallas Cowboys House in North Philly is the Worst Thing I’ve Ever Seen
A reader sent this over. He says it’s real and even asked his buddy to confirm. I did some preliminary checks and it does appear to be a real house in North Philadelphia: Abomination!

First of all, three of the four Cowboys flags look to be the same […] The post This Dallas Cowboys House in North Philly is the Worst Thing I’ve Ever Seen appeared first on Crossing Broad .

They’re all listed on the universities’ websites. I’ll hyperlink the schedules here: Saint Joe’s, Villanova, Penn, La Salle, Temple, and Drexel.

Jalen Hurts’ Mom Takes to TikTok to Announce That Her Quarterback is More Clutch Than Your Quarterback
Jalen Hurts’ mom is being pretty funny. She went on TikTok and put on an interesting face filter that made her blue-eyed and very smooth to announce that “my quarterback is more clutch than your quarterback” – This is good stuff. There’s a ton to like here. I already mentioned the face filter. That’s gotta […] The post Jalen Hurts’ Mom Takes to TikTok to Announce That Her Quarterback is More Clutch Than Your Quarterback appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Jaxson Dart is Done for the Year
The insiders all confirmed it right around the same time: Schefter added: “Jaxson Dart suffered damage to his MCL, PCL and meniscus, per sources. The meniscus is the main issue.” The Giants’ QB2 is Jameis Winston, who went 11-27 for 111 yards and an interception in Los Angeles on Monday night after Dart left the […] The post Jaxson Dart is Done for the Year appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Q/A: A Few Good Minutes with La Salle’s Darris Nichols, Who Thinks the Explorers Have More Skill to Pair With a “Non-Negotiable” Toughness
In a tiring world of coach speak, canned quotes, and useless platitudes, Darris Nichols is a noticeable outlier. La Salle’s head basketball coach will tell you how it is, good or bad, and whether you need to hear it or not. That much was refreshingly evident in a recent visit to Glaser Arena, where Nichols […] The post Q/A: A Few Good Minutes with La Salle’s Darris Nichols, Who Thinks the Explorers Have More Skill to Pair With a “Non-Negotiable” Toughness appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Bubble Wrap the Flyers and Put Them in a Hyperbaric Chamber Until the Regular Season Begins (UPDATED)
The Flyers have played two preseason games and have had a player go down with an injury in each of them. It’s not good.

Maybe the Lafayette Leopards Have the Solution to the Eagles’ Woeful Screen Game
Ryan Paganetti shared this video clip on Twitter. He’s the former Eagles and Jaguars analytics and strategy guy, and his account is a great follow because he circulates random and interesting stuff like this, from Coach Casey: While watching this, I thought to myself, “yes…. yes, this could be the play that unlocks the Eagles’ […] The post Maybe the Lafayette Leopards Have the Solution to the Eagles’ Woeful Screen Game appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Zack Wheeler Cracks 2,000 Strikeouts and Breaks a Phillies Franchise Record

The Jaxson Dart and Jayden Daniels Injuries are Shitty
Woof: Possibly the season? It’s September 22nd, Week 3 in the NFL, and Jaxson Dart might be done for the year. Jayden Daniels dislocated his elbow. Caleb Williams injured his hamstring.

Shameless Rage Bait from Boston’s “The Ringer” Ranks Sixers 10th in NBA, Celtics 4th
The Ringer is a website founded by Bill Simmons, the sports writer/podcaster whose whole thing is being a Boston guy. That being the case, the media company’s bias for Boston sports is extreme. So extreme that I’ve always found it kind of funny. I like The Ringer. I get a kick out of Bill’s insane/old […] The post Shameless Rage Bait from Boston’s “The Ringer” Ranks Sixers 10th in NBA, Celtics 4th appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Big Carm Calls a Wednesday Press Conference to Discuss Eagles Tailgating Changes (UPDATED)
We mentioned last week on the site that changes are coming to the Eagles tailgating scene.

Eagles Season Ticket Holders Will Indeed Be Receiving a 2026 Gift
I got a couple of emails last week from disgruntled Eagles season ticket holders, who said they didn’t receive anything this season.

The Eagles are Really Bad on 1st Down and Really Good on 3rd Down – What’s Going On There?
Shawn Syed of Sumer Sports shared this stat, and it’s a pretty interesting one: That’s a big discrepancy between early and late downs, and it sounds right to me. Going off eye test alone, it does feel like the Eagles have been particularly bad on first downs, but keep finding ways to extend drives on […] The post The Eagles are Really Bad on 1st Down and Really Good on 3rd Down – What’s Going On There? appeared first on Crossing Broad .

The Turf Temperature in Tennessee Reached a Cleat-Melting 157 Degrees
The FOX broadcast mentioned a few times how hot the field was during the Eagles/Titans game on Sunday, which, if I’m being honest, I thought was baby stuff. “These are world-class athletes,” I thought to myself. “Just drink some water… they have all kinds of water on those benches… Not to mention Gatorade….

A Pulse Check on the Phillies’ Bullpen
The Phillies have six games left in the regular season, and it’s nearly impossible for them to miss the postseason. The magic number is down to 3 with six games to go against the Brewers and Rays.

Rick Tocchet Asks for a Hockey Puck that Allows Guys Like David Jiricek to Shoot in Practice Without Killing Teammates
With Flyers training camp underway in Voorhees, head coach Rick Tocchet sounds a little frustrated by some of the limitations his team’s been running into in practice.
