You’re Snorting Penn State Fraternity Cocaine if You Think Rhode Island is Beating the Temple Owls in Philadelphia
This is not a strawman. I have seen this opinion from a handful of people now and it’s becoming irksome: Right, so all the talk is about Penn State vs. Temple. But Temple opens with Rhode Island at Lincoln Financial Field on September 5th. The Rams are an FCS school out of the Coastal Athletic […] The post You’re Snorting Penn State Fraternity Cocaine if You Think Rhode Island is Beating the Temple Owls in Philadelphia appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Bryson Stott and Cristopher Sanchez Had Some Cool Cleats Made for Players’ Weekend
It’s Players’ Weekend in MLB, which the league describes as “a three-day celebration of what makes big leaguers unique. This is a time for them to express themselves through wearing custom gear on the field and telling personal stories off of it.” MLB first started doing a version of Players’ Weekend back in 2017, and […] The post Bryson Stott and Cristopher Sanchez Had Some Cool Cleats Made for Players’ Weekend appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Could a Split Designated Hitter Make Sense for the Phillies After This Season?
Should there be baseball in 2027, the Phillies should probably start thinking about what that roster is going to look like. I’m sure Dave Dombrowski and John Middleton are already looking ahead as it’s their job to do that, but the shuffling of the infield and outfield after this year’s trade deadline left me with […] The post Could a Split Designated Hitter Make Sense for the Phillies After This Season? appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Alec Bohm Has a Chance to Re-Write His Phillies Legacy
Alec Bohm has had a turbulent tenure across his seven Phillies seasons. He is a good player, though his overlapping weaknesses with the higher-paid stars sometimes paint him in a worse light than he deserves. But the lack of power in his 6-foot-5 frame, his knack for stunting rallies with a ground-ball double play, and […] The post Alec Bohm Has a Chance to Re-Write His Phillies Legacy appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Michael Irvin Tells a Long-Haired, Cowboy-Hat Wearing Alshon Jeffery that Jalen Hurts Deserves More Respect
The clip: View this post on Instagram A post shared by The White House with Michael Irvin (@michaelirvinpod) “It blows my mind, the treatment they give Jalen Hurts in Philly right now. Jalen Hurts, I — I’ve heard people say that Jalen Hurts is, you know, ‘He’s on thin ice, he’s working on — ‘ […] The post Michael Irvin Tells a Long-Haired, Cowboy-Hat Wearing Alshon Jeffery that Jalen Hurts Deserves More Respect appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Fanatics is Selling a Temple Shirt that Displays a Setting Sun Over Mountains and Pine Trees, Just Like North Broad Street
A CB reader stumbled upon this Temple shirt at Fanatics, which features a lovely image of the setting sun: This is very nice if you are willing to overlook the fact that the Temple campus is totally flat, and without evergreen conifers. Maybe there are some pine trees out by Temple Ambler, but there ain’t […] The post Fanatics is Selling a Temple Shirt that Displays a Setting Sun Over Mountains and Pine Trees, Just Like North Broad Street appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Get Your Wife Some of this “Elevated Activewear” from Addison Bay and the Philadelphia Eagles
It’s a slow summer Friday, and I don’t feel like doing anything, but this hit the inbox and we’re gonna share it: The Philadelphia Eagles and Addison Bay, a locally established lifestyle brand that is redefining elevated activewear, are collaborating on an exclusive, fashion-forward line curated specifically for women. A Philadelphia-based entrepreneur and former Division-I collegiate […] The post Get Your Wife Some of this “Elevated Activewear” from Addison Bay and the Philadelphia Eagles a...
Pretty Sure the Citi Field Raccoon Was a Rat
This video is making the rounds. I don’t like it: Everyone’s saying this is a raccoon hand. I guess that makes sense. It feels better to live in that assumption. Everyone likes raccoons. I like them. I wouldn’t call them a gross animal by any means. But when I first saw this video, I assumed […] The post Pretty Sure the Citi Field Raccoon Was a Rat appeared first on Crossing Broad .
James Harden Somehow Got Paid Again
The news from Shams: He’s done it again. Somehow, some way, James Harden has once again managed to get paid way more money than he should be paid. $32 million a year, plus a player option and a trade kicker. Incredible. This comes after Harden declined his $42.3 million player option for next season and became an […] The post James Harden Somehow Got Paid Again appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Finally I Can Sleep at Night, Now That Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown Have Spoken to One Another
Finally: This was so good to see because I’ve been losing sleep over it. I was literally awake at 2 a.m. this morning thinking to myself, “man, I can’t believe Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown haven’t spoken to one another since A.J. was traded to the Patriots.” I mean, don’t get me wrong, nobody gives […] The post Finally I Can Sleep at Night, Now That Jalen Hurts and A.J.

James Bradberry Joins the Camden Catholic Coaching Staff
Former Eagles cornerback James Bradberry is a new assistant coach for the Camden Catholic Irish: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Camden Catholic Athletics (@camdencatholicathletics) This is pretty cool. I’m a big fan of this. Bradberry played eight NFL seasons (seven active) before he was cut by the Birds after the 2025 […] The post James Bradberry Joins the Camden Catholic Coaching Staff appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Diner en Blanc is Un-American Nonsense
God bless America, because Philadelphia’s bougiest excuse to pick up after yourself is BACK for another year of pretentious snacking and binge drinking as thousands of well-meaning but idiotic Philadelphians prepare to haul their own food, their own chairs, and their own tables to an undisclosed “historic” mystery location to eat tepid Wegman’s olive bar […] The post Diner en Blanc is Un-American Nonsense appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Footage of LeBron James, Tyrese Maxey, and Jaylen Brown Working Out Together is Miraculous
Don’t get me wrong: I’ve been having a good time thinking and talking and blogging about the new Sixers squad for the last month. It’s great. I’m still very excited. If I sit down and really think about it for a few moments, it’s still pretty hard to believe this team actually came together. It’s […] The post The Footage of LeBron James, Tyrese Maxey, and Jaylen Brown Working Out Together is Miraculous appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Patrick Beverley Says LeBron Would Enjoy Being on the Sixers More if He Lives in Philly
Looks like no one told Patrick Beverley that the “LeBron James might live in New York while playing for the Sixers” discourse pretty much ended a couple weeks ago: On Tuesday, the former/very brief Sixer and host of The Pat Bev Show said LeBron should live in Philly if he wants to really enjoy and […] The post Patrick Beverley Says LeBron Would Enjoy Being on the Sixers More if He Lives in Philly appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Red Cards at Subaru Park After Quinn Sullivan Delivers a Spinebuster to Inter Miami Player Who Tried to Iverson Him
We had an old-fashioned donnybrook at Subaru Park on Wednesday night at the end of a 2-2 draw between the Philadelphia Union and Inter Messi F.C. – There’s quite a bit to unpack here: It was good form from Quinn, who got Fray with a single-leg/high-crotch and drove him into the dirt, like Cooooooooper DeJean […] The post Red Cards at Subaru Park After Quinn Sullivan Delivers a Spinebuster to Inter Miami Player Who Tried to Iverson Him appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Aaron Nola is All the Way Back
The Phillies are HOT. They’ve now won six in a row with a 4-1 victory over the Marlins on Wednesday night, completing their second sweep in a row. Aaron Nola was dealing, with one earned run in seven innings: Noles threw 100 pitches for only the second time this season. The knuckle curve once again […] The post Aaron Nola is All the Way Back appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Here’s All the Stuff You Should See From the Flo Rida Concert After the Phillies Game
The Phillies beat the Marlins 6-4 on Tuesday night, but that’s not what this blog about. This one is about Flo Rida. If you’re unaware, he played a concert at Citizens Bank Park as part of the team’s concert series. The Phillies have been doing these post-game concerts at least once a year since 2016 […] The post Here’s All the Stuff You Should See From the Flo Rida Concert After the Phillies Game appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Maybe Chuck Fletcher Put Together this Army Deal: Re-enlist for Two Years and You Get to Play GTA 6 for Four Days
editor’s note: We’re not writing a god damn thing about A.J. Brown or the Patriots today. Nobody cares. It’s a joint practice. Nobody “wins” or “loses” a practice. Give me a fucking break.

Paddy Pimblett Just Hanging Out in Philly After UFC 330, Having the Time of His Life
Paddy Pimblett was in town for UFC 330 on Saturday night and seemed to have a great time. He got a big crowd pop when he was shown on the big screen, taking a bite of his cheesesteak and doing his little hopping-arm-waving dance: That was good stuff. That’s fun. So fun, in fact, that […] The post Paddy Pimblett Just Hanging Out in Philly After UFC 330, Having the Time of His Life appeared first on Crossing Broad .
RIP to Frank Beard of the Criminally Underrated ZZ Top
Frank Beard died at the age of 77: Beard was the only ZZ Top member without a beard, which was always good for a laugh. He was also one hell of a drummer, underrated in my opinion and the gold standard for what we’d call “in the pocket” playing. We’d say a drummer is “in […] The post RIP to Frank Beard of the Criminally Underrated ZZ Top appeared first on Crossing Broad .
It’s Time to Drop the Underdog Mantra from Philadelphia Sports
The fit between Philadelphia and underdog identity has been hand in glove for decades. This is a blue-collar city. A pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps mindset. You’re never afraid to back down and you carry yourself with a grittiness that can’t be matched. But with this comes an overarching theme that we aren’t supposed to get the job done.

Sounds Like Getting Sixers Season Tickets Wasn’t as Brutal as Everyone Expected
Of all the early storylines that came from LeBron James signing with the Sixers, one of the loudest has been concerns about ticket prices – and for good reason. Screenshots of early prices for the home opener looked daunting. Forbes was reporting Sixers preseason ticket prices jumped 142% from last year. The LeBron effect seemed […] The post Sounds Like Getting Sixers Season Tickets Wasn’t as Brutal as Everyone Expected appeared first on Crossing Broad .
If the NFL Wants a Team Permanently Based Outside of the United States, it Could Simply Move the Browns, or Jets
At ESPN: As the NFL continues to expand its international footprint, commissioner Roger Goodell says it is inevitable that the league will eventually have a team permanently based outside the United States.
