RADIO WARS: Bill Colarulo Unleashes Attack Drones Targeting Spike Eskin Rage Bait Installations
The 94 WIP Afternoon show went negative on Monday, much to the surprise of nobody at all. They dedicated a portion of their program to Bryce Harper, arguing about base running and his postgame Saturday comments after hitting for the cycle: “I’ll tell you what: I don’t really care what people think about my base […] The post RADIO WARS: Bill Colarulo Unleashes Attack Drones Targeting Spike Eskin Rage Bait Installations appeared first on Crossing Broad .
This New Yorker Saying the Phillies Have a “Trash Fanbase” Shows a Fascinating Lack of Self-Awareness
This video of a Phillies fan proudly giving the double birds to Juan Soto Richard Harkaway-style made the rounds on Monday: In my opinion, this is a real nice video. This is what it’s all about. I truly believe this is a normal, healthy way to make an opposing player feel unwelcome in your favorite […] The post This New Yorker Saying the Phillies Have a “Trash Fanbase” Shows a Fascinating Lack of Self-Awareness appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Let’s Get John Kruk to Wear a Suit More

France and Iraq Fans Had the Friendliest and Most Respectful Rocky Statue Gathering
France and Iraq are set to play in Philly on Monday night (barring a storm delay), and fans of both countries gathered at the Art Museum steps this weekend for the kindest, politest, and most civilized impromptu rally that’s ever occurred: What a video.

Putting Together a World Cup Starting XI Using Philadelphia Athletes
World Cup #content. I made a starting XI using Philadelphia athletes from the “four major” teams: What I did here was pick a formation and fit the players to the formation.

Just How Much Does Kyle Schwarber Own the Mets? Let’s Check the Stats
The Phillies had a real nice weekend series against the Mets. Bryce Harper hit for his first career cycle. Zack Wheeler and Cristopher Sanchez shoved.

If you’ve watched any of this World Cup on FOX, you’ve no doubt encountered the studio panel of Rebecca Lowe, Thierry Henry, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Alexi Lalas.

The Phillies and Mets Were Both 9-19, then One Team Decided to Get Serious and Fire the Manager

Even WIP’s Hugh Douglas Sick to Death of Jalen Hurts Argument
You know it’s bad when even WIP hosts are sick of talking about Jalen Hurts. Hurts, arguably the most accomplished quarterback in Philadelphia Eagles history, really brings out a lot of emotions in the average WIP host.

What’s More Acceptable – Eating Horse Poop at the Eagles Parade, or Punching a Woman in the Butt While Being Twerked on at the Knicks Parade?
Meantime, at the Knicks parade: Now this is a video! We have a woman doing splits on top of a traffic signal. She’s wearing one shoe. Then she exchanges words with another woman sitting below her, though it’s unclear what was said.

Brazilian Tourists Say Philadelphia is the Most Beautiful City They’ve Ever Seen
Philadelphians are proud people. We don’t need a bunch of compliments to know that Philly is a world-class city. We already know that. But still, it is nice every now and then to hear people reaffirm it. It’s a pleasant reminder. Philly does rules: “The people are always happy and smiling, and everybody’s so kind […] The post Brazilian Tourists Say Philadelphia is the Most Beautiful City They’ve Ever Seen appeared first on Crossing Broad .

England Fans are Right About the World Cup Hydration Breaks
Hydration breaks aren’t new in soccer. They’ve had them in various forms on this side of the globe for years now.
