Ivy League Bringing Conference Basketball Tournament to… Allentown?
College basketball sicko Jon Rothstein had it first: And the press release: PRINCETON, N.J. — The Ivy League will bring the excitement of Ivy Madness to the Lehigh Valley beginning in 2028, as the league announced today a three-year agreement for its annual men’s and women’s basketball tournaments to be held at PPL Center in Allentown, […] The post Ivy League Bringing Conference Basketball Tournament to… Allentown? appeared first on Crossing Broad .
James Franklin Being Weird in Blacksburg
What’s going on in this video? What is James Franklin doing? My instinct is to give Franklin the benefit of the doubt here and assume there must have been some sort of technical issue going on. It’s the only way I can wrap my head around someone acting like this. Maybe Franklin couldn’t hear the […] The post James Franklin Being Weird in Blacksburg appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Non-Philly School Villanova Will Play Two Big East Games at Xfinity Mobile Arena
The Big East released its conference schedule for 2026-2027, and it looks like Villanova will be playing Saint John’s and UConn at Xfinity Mobile Area: If I can be honest in this blog here, it’s always bothered me a little that Villanova plays their big games at whatever we’re calling the basketball arena in the […] The post Non-Philly School Villanova Will Play Two Big East Games at Xfinity Mobile Arena appeared first on Crossing Broad .

The Neshaminy Mall Will Be Demolished in December
This is a sad day, but one we all must’ve known was coming sooner or later: Jo Ciavaglia and JD Mullane of the Bucks County Courier Times reported on Monday that the Neshaminy Mall will be closing soon, with demolition of much of the mall scheduled to begin in December. From the piece: Bucks County’s first […] The post The Neshaminy Mall Will Be Demolished in December appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Some Thoughts on this Gallup Poll, and the Youths Moving Away from Football
Everybody is talking about this new Gallup poll, which reveals the popularity of certain sports among different age groups: The full report is linked here, but the graphic in the story that’s getting the most traction was shared by Taylor Twellman and others: The first thing that jumped out to me was baseball. No surprise […] The post Some Thoughts on this Gallup Poll, and the Youths Moving Away from Football appeared first on Crossing Broad .
RADIO WARS: Adam Smith Joining 97.5 the Fanatic
Dunno if this counts as RADIO WARS, but I think more people click on it if we write RADIO WARS. Smitty of Barstool fame is joining the Fanatic: Smitty says he’s in the suburbs and living the dad life and ready to get “back into the weeds” with Philly sports. Marks asked him to provide […] The post RADIO WARS: Adam Smith Joining 97.5 the Fanatic appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Landon Dickerson to IR
Injury news: Dickerson told the WIP guys on Monday night that he “played like shit” in the Washington game, explaining that he was rolled up in practice a few weeks ago. The film showed a left guard who didn’t look anything like the guy we saw two seasons ago, during the Super Bowl run. He […] The post Landon Dickerson to IR appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Makai Lemon Had a Quiet NFL Debut, But Came Up With a Big Block on the Game’s Biggest Play
Makai Lemon didn’t exactly pop in the Eagles’ Week 1 win over the Commanders. The rookie receiver’s stat line was pretty awful: he caught 3 of his 4 targets for -5 receiving yards (with catches of 3, -5, and -3 yards). Operating as the Eagles’ WR3 and playing 36 of 56 offensive snaps (64.3%), most […] The post Makai Lemon Had a Quiet NFL Debut, But Came Up With a Big Block on the Game’s Biggest Play appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Some Stray Thoughts on Tom Brady Inventing the Phrase “Like a Butterfly With Sore Legs”
Kinkead / 9:25 p.m. – it appears as though Brady tried to use an old golf idiom and got it wrong, hence the widespread confusion. The saying is actually “like a butterfly with sore feet,” not “like a butterfly with sore legs.” I guess it’s an saying that old golfers use, but we don’t have […] The post Some Stray Thoughts on Tom Brady Inventing the Phrase “Like a Butterfly With Sore Legs” appeared first on Crossing Broad .
It’s 2026 and Carson Wentz is Slinging Darts in an NFL Game
The year is 2026 and Carson Wentz is playing good football. The hell’s going on there? Look at this: He didn’t start the game, of course. Kyler Murray is the Vikings QB1, but went down in the first quarter with a head injury after this late hit: The Vikings then turned to Carson Wentz to […] The post It’s 2026 and Carson Wentz is Slinging Darts in an NFL Game appeared first on Crossing Broad .
RADIO WARS: 97.5 the Fanatic Program Director Retiring
Some Radio Warz news courtesy of John Mamola at Barrett Media: Scott Masteller is retiring. The 97.5 The Fanatic program director will step away December 31 after more than 45 years in radio. What We Know: Beasley Media Group announced that Masteller will retire December 31.

The NFL Should Bring Back the Pro Bowl, for Braden Mann
The Eagles beat the Commanders 24-22 on Sunday evening, and I’m not sure it would’ve happened without punter Braden Mann. He was so damn good. To recap quickly: Mann punted 7 times for 361 gross yards (51.6 gross average) and 308 net yards (44.0 net average). His long for the night was 64 yards, and […] The post The NFL Should Bring Back the Pro Bowl, for Braden Mann appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Union are a Wagon and Cavan Sullivan is the Driver
Cavan Sullivan scored twice in the Union’s 5-0 road win against San Diego on Sunday night: Five goals and seven assists in the 16-year-old’s last seven games. He’s started every MLS match since the World Cup break and logged 820 minutes in that time frame. The Union are now unbeaten in their last 10 league […] The post The Union are a Wagon and Cavan Sullivan is the Driver appeared first on Crossing Broad .
If Cowboy Lover Dean Blandino Says it’s a Legal Play, Then it’s a Legal Play
There was some hubbub about the Eagles’ game-winning touchdown on Sunday afternoon. Washington’s defense was caught flat footed and apparently thought that there was an illegal procedure or false start before the snap, but Dean Blandino came on the broadcast afterward to say it was clean: Dean Blandino on whether this was a penalty pic.twitter.com/FKnREQ72mE […] The post If Cowboy Lover Dean Blandino Says it’s a Legal Play, Then it’s a Legal Play appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Eagles Might Be the Worst Bubble Screen Team in All of Football (College and Pro)
The Eagles ran three sideways screens on Sunday afternoon: The first one was blown up because Dontayvion Wicks totally whiffed on a block. They ran Lemon across the formation with orbit motion and had numbers against a Washington blitz, but took a big loss to set up 2nd and 24. The second one went nowhere […] The post The Eagles Might Be the Worst Bubble Screen Team in All of Football (College and Pro) appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Thank You, Stefon Diggs, For Your Touchdown Celebration Penalty
Stefon Diggs had a good Commanders debut (4 receptions on 9 targets for 55 yards and 1 touchdown), but I think it’s safe to say Washington fans would feel a whole lot better if the veteran receiver omitted this truly dumbass touchdown celebration: The touchdown made the score 17-15 Eagles. Washington was looking to go […] The post Thank You, Stefon Diggs, For Your Touchdown Celebration Penalty appeared first on Crossing Broad .
I Can’t Believe the Commies Called a Shovel Pass to John Bates with the Game on the Line
If you were a Washington Communist fan, this would drive you crazy, right? Couple of things here: Commie fans will probably be annoyed by this. That’s unfortunate for them.

Dontayvion Wicks Looks Like a Player
The Eagles are 1-0 after a 24-22 win over the Commanders on Sunday, and a pleasant early storyline is Dontayvion Wicks. This guy is good. This is good news. Kinkead wrote on Saturday that bettors were throwing a good amount of money on Wicks to hit his over of 27.5 total yards on Sunday, and […] The post Dontayvion Wicks Looks Like a Player appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Go Figure, the First Eagles Touchdown of 2026 Came on a “Four Verticals” Call
The Eagles’ first touchdown of the new season came in the second quarter on Sunday, when Jalen Hurts hit Dallas Goedert in the back of the end zone with a beauty of a throw. The play call, funnily enough, was Four Verticals: This is good stuff. If you’re unaware, a big contingent of Birds fans […] The post Go Figure, the First Eagles Touchdown of 2026 Came on a “Four Verticals” Call appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Got it Done – 26 Immediate Observations from Eagles 24, Commies 22
The Eagles are 1-0 after defeating a divisional rival to kick off the 2026 NFL season. You’ll take that any day of the week. It wasn’t perfect, but most wins aren’t, especially in Week 1. The Birds’ new offense looked incredibly janky at times, a very boom or bust experience to kick off the Sean […] The post Got it Done – 26 Immediate Observations from Eagles 24, Commies 22 appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Opportunity Missed: 10 Observations from Penn State 27, Temple 9
That was disappointing. Penn State didn’t play very well on Saturday afternoon, and still beat Temple (score). It was a weird game, an ugly rock fight to start, with the visitors missing an early field goal and blowing a second red zone trip on downs. “Impotent” would be a good way to describe PSU’s first-half […] The post Opportunity Missed: 10 Observations from Penn State 27, Temple 9 appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Dontayvion Wicks Over 27.5 Receiving Yards is Getting Some Week 1 Love
One of the interesting Week 1 Eagles storylines is the receiving corps. DeVonta Smith is WR1 in the post-A.J. Brown era. Makai Lemon was expected to be WR2, but battled a hamstring injury in camp and got off to a slowish start. Enter Dontayvion Wicks, who had a good preseason, according to the beat writers.

Get Off My Lawn (And the Basepaths)
Friday night was the dagger for me. For many others, the dagger came a lot sooner. I can’t blame them. The Phillies had the first game of a three-game series in Atlanta seemingly in hand before the bullpen once again bullpened, but also because they had chances to tack on some extra runs in the […] The post Get Off My Lawn (And the Basepaths) appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Union Will Win the Title if They Sign “Wawa” Out of the Swedish League
Good eye from Brai right here: Wawa Christ! He is the lord and savior of all gas stations. “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one gets out on the counterattack except through me.” Wawa is a 19-year-old Ivorian forward and rated as a 62 on FIFA.
