The Sixers Should Sign LeBron James (Let’s Talk This Out)
Hear me out. This could be good. Maybe this is where we were always going to end up… If you haven’t heard yet, Shams broke the news on Tuesday that LeBron James will not be playing for the Lakers next season and is looking to join a new team: The internet seems to think LeBron […] The post The Sixers Should Sign LeBron James (Let’s Talk This Out) appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Porter Martone Wearing His Playoffs Hoodie to Flyers Development Camp is a Power Move We All Must Respect
Porter Martone doesn’t need to be at the Flyers development camp. He earned a regular spot on the roster last season, and in the playoffs became a scorer and playmaker the Flyers depended on – he racked up 2 goals and 3 assists in 10 games with a +3 rating, all at just 19 years […] The post Porter Martone Wearing His Playoffs Hoodie to Flyers Development Camp is a Power Move We All Must Respect appeared first on Crossing Broad .
It’s Sad to Watch This Version of Aaron Nola
Through 17 starts in 2025, Aaron Nola had a 6.01 ERA. Through 17 starts in 2026, Aaron Nola has a 6.04 ERA. Things are not going well for the 33-year-old veteran. Nola surrendered 8 runs on Monday night, seven of those runs earned, and gave away a 5-0 Phillies lead over the Pirates. Nola has […] The post It’s Sad to Watch This Version of Aaron Nola appeared first on Crossing Broad .
This Juan Soto Error Led to the Funniest Inside-the-Park Home Run I’ve Ever Seen
I’ve had a lot of fun watching the Mets this season. I’ve found some real, genuine joy in seeing them implode and crater and bomb in ways I didn’t even know were possible for a baseball team. I’ve written about it on this website more than a few times, and truthfully, part of me wonders […] The post This Juan Soto Error Led to the Funniest Inside-the-Park Home Run I’ve Ever Seen appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Ben Simmons is Open to Returning to the Sixers, Kind of Blames Matisse Thybulle for the Passed-Up Dunk Disaster, and Never Had Confidence Issues – Per Ben Simmons
Men’s Health ran a big write-up on Ben Simmons by Clay Skipper on Monday, and there are some real gems in there. Highly recommend everyone check it out — but if you’re just looking for the highlights, here are a few of my favorite quotes, along with some stray thoughts: Notes and Quotes from the […] The post Ben Simmons is Open to Returning to the Sixers, Kind of Blames Matisse Thybulle for the Passed-Up Dunk Disaster, and Never Had Confidence Issues – Per Ben Simmons appeared first on Cross...
Mets TV Broadcast Hyped Up Kodai Senga Right Before He Gave Up a Schwarbomb
The Mets TV broadcast has spent the last several years being lauded for its relatively no-nonsense, unbiased commentary. Gary Cohen, Ron Darling, and Keith Hernandez routinely give other teams their flowers because, well, they have to broadcast Mets games. And Sunday afternoon was no different, as Kyle Schwarber came up to bat in the seventh […] The post Mets TV Broadcast Hyped Up Kodai Senga Right Before He Gave Up a Schwarbomb appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Wouldn’t It Be Nice if the Flyers Crushed the Draft For Once?
The Flyers had six picks in the NHL Draft over the weekend. Here’s who they ended up taking: And grades for the Flyers’ picks have ranged from mediocre to awful: Because they are stuck in the past. They pass on more gifted offensive threats for big physical guys. When the first highlight of the 1st […] The post Wouldn’t It Be Nice if the Flyers Crushed the Draft For Once? appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Fascinating Story of Bucks County’s Lex Ludlow, Who Went from Broke and Miserable to Undefeated Bare Knuckle Fighter
Lex Bryan Ludlow always wanted to be a professional wrestler. He didn’t see himself in combat sports, though he’s currently unbeaten in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and preparing for Friday night’s Liberty Brawl at Xfinity Mobile Arena, putting his 3-0 record on the line against cruiserweight Drew Nolan. Ludlow is ranked fourth in the […] The post The Fascinating Story of Bucks County’s Lex Ludlow, Who Went from Broke and Miserable to Undefeated Bare Knuckle Fighter appeared first ...
Let’s Recap Another Excellent Phillies Weekend
The Phillies took two of three from the Mets over the weekend, and are now sitting just 3 games back from Atlanta for the NL East lead. What a weekend. What a time. There’s a lot to be pumped about.

Tom McCarthy is Great – You Just Don’t Get the Difference Between a TV Broadcaster and a Radio Broadcaster
Before we get too far, let me recap why Tom McCarthy has been thrust into the discourse for readers who may just be joining us. Here’s what happened: On Wednesday night, Derek Hill hit a massive pinch-hit home run in the ninth inning to give the Phillies the lead over the Nationals and eventually win […] The post Tom McCarthy is Great – You Just Don’t Get the Difference Between a TV Broadcaster and a Radio Broadcaster appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Internet is Misunderstanding Bryce Harper’s Cool-as-Hell Ring Celebration
The Phillies somehow keep on winning. After falling into a five-run deficit in Washington on Thursday night, the comeback kids rallied once again to secure their third straight come-from-behind W. As Kinkead wrote this morning, the stats on these rallies are getting nuts. This one’s my favorite — it’s crazy: But through the momentous homers […] The post The Internet is Misunderstanding Bryce Harper’s Cool-as-Hell Ring Celebration appeared first on Crossing Broad .

The New York Mets Have Relieved Carlos Mendoza of his Duties
And there it is: Man, these guys totally stink. They’re 34-47 with the second-highest payroll in Major League Baseball. They can’t hit, can’t pitch, can’t field, and can’t get fans into the stadium. The fire sale should take place over the next several weeks. We’ll give you Andrew Painter for Huascar Brazoban, Luke Weaver, Carson […] The post The New York Mets Have Relieved Carlos Mendoza of his Duties appeared first on Crossing Broad .
I Always Knew the First Local Goal at a World Cup Would Come from a Delco Guy
The United States B team lost 3-2 to Turkey’s A team on Thursday night. It was a meaningless game because we had already won the group, and Turkey was already eliminated, but Media native Auston Trusty scored the first goal: This is the first goal scored by a Philadelphia-area player in World Cup history. Delco! […] The post I Always Knew the First Local Goal at a World Cup Would Come from a Delco Guy appeared first on Crossing Broad .
After Three Comeback Wins in a Row, These Phillies Stats are So Ridiculous That They Don’t Even Seem Real
These stats and records are so wild that you have to re-read them just to get a grasp of the ridiculousness. They’ll probably never be broken: Just to review, in case you’ve been living under a rock: They could have been swept with how poorly they were playing earlier in these games, yet walk away […] The post After Three Comeback Wins in a Row, These Phillies Stats are So Ridiculous That They Don’t Even Seem Real appeared first on Crossing Broad .
How Much Vacation Time Do Europeans Get That They Can Attend All These World Cup Games? We Gotta Get in on That
From where I’m sitting, the World Cup has been a huge success. Every game is packed. The crowds are going nuts. International tourists have been loving America, and America has loved watching them interact with American culture. The vibes are through the roof. I haven’t had a single bad thing to say about it.

Flyers Trade Garnet Hathaway and a 6th Round Pick to the Florida Panthers For a 5th and a 4th
Here’s the official trade announcement from the team: Hathaway is a gritty player and was a favorite among the Broad Street Bully traditionalist contingent of the fanbase, but as the Flyers continue their rebuild, it’s clear that Danny Briere is choosing to prioritize youth, picks, and skill upside over imposing physicality, and I can’t blame […] The post Flyers Trade Garnet Hathaway and a 6th Round Pick to the Florida Panthers For a 5th and a 4th appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Add Six Infield Errors in One Game to the Mets’ Gloriously Humiliating Season
The Mets are in the throes of one of the most embarrassing seasons in recent MLB memory. They’re 34-46 (tied for the sixth worst in baseball), 14.5 games back in the NL East, and worst (best) of all, there isn’t even one particular aspect of the team to blame – they’re awful across the board.

Macho Tough Guy Ben Davis Won’t Let His Kids Play Soccer (UPDATED)
The last thing I want to do today is write a second story about 94 WIP, but there’s so much complete and utter horseshit being broadcasted over there that it must be addressed.

Another Night, Another Phillies Hero
They say once is luck. Twice? Well, that’s pretty impressive. The Phillies had one of the best innings in franchise history on Tuesday night, scoring 8 runs with 2 outs in the top of the 9th at Nationals Park to complete a 14-9 comeback win. It was sparked by a Brandon Marsh game-tying home run, […] The post Another Night, Another Phillies Hero appeared first on Crossing Broad .
RADIO WARS: Bill Colarulo Issues Formal Challenge to Spike Eskin After Being Blocked on Twitter
A reader sent over this clip, which made me laugh. The background is that Bill Colarulo called out Spike Eskin earlier in the week after Eskin labeled Bryce Harper a “selfish” player. That was in response to Harper telling reporters that he didn’t care what people thought about his baserunning. Mind you, Harper had just […] The post RADIO WARS: Bill Colarulo Issues Formal Challenge to Spike Eskin After Being Blocked on Twitter appeared first on Crossing Broad .
“Déjà vu in DC!” – Scott Franzke Could Not Believe the Phillies Did It Again to the Nats
What a 24-hour period in our nation’s capital. The Phillies once again staged a ninth inning two-out comeback to beat the Nationals. This time, it was Derek Hill doing the honors. Yes, you read that correctly. Pinch-hitting after Kyle Schwarber worked a 10-pitch walk, Hill locked in and delivered the greatest Phillies swing since last […] The post “Déjà vu in DC!” – Scott Franzke Could Not Believe the Phillies Did It Again to the Nats appeared first on Crossing Broad .
