Dianna Russini was Reportedly Making $800,000 with The Athletic
Katherine Rosman and Ken Belson have a dual byline on a New York Times story titled “Dianna Russini Was an N.F.L. ‘Insider.’ Was She Also Out of Bounds?“ The Times owns The Athletic, which is the outlet Russini recently resigned from because of the Mike Vrabel scandal, so the intersection here is somewhat curious, but […] The post Dianna Russini was Reportedly Making $800,000 with The Athletic appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Lebaron Philon Jr. Was the Right Pick Because You Can Never Have Too Many Bucket-Getters
The Sixers took Labaron Philon Jr. with the 22nd pick of the NBA Draft on Tuesday night, and by pretty much all accounts, this was an excellent pick. Philon was projected to land in the 9 to 19 range, so for him to fall to 22 was a pleasant surprise for the Sixers front office, […] The post Lebaron Philon Jr. Was the Right Pick Because You Can Never Have Too Many Bucket-Getters appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Refs Were in the Bag for England
England couldn’t score a goal against Ghana. Pathetic! Not only that, but there were two flash point incidents from the nil-nil draw: That’s a penalty. The defender launches himself, gets none of the ball, and lands on the attacker’s thigh. I’ve seen counterarguments that Ezri Konsa gained position and therefore Prince Adu is contacting him, […] The post The Refs Were in the Bag for England appeared first on Crossing Broad .
I’m Willing to Overlook Bryce Harper’s Base Running Considering that the Phillies Were Nothing Before He Chose to Play Here
There was some hubbub about Bryce Harper recently, manufactured radio slop from 94 WIP and Spike Eskin, who called the Phillies 1st baseman a “selfish” player when Harper said this after hitting for the cycle: “I’ll tell you what: I don’t really care what people think about my base running because that’s how I’ve always […] The post I’m Willing to Overlook Bryce Harper’s Base Running Considering that the Phillies Were Nothing Before He Chose to Play Here appeared first on Crossing Broad .
I’ve Had it with These Mutating Mice and Evolving Rats in Philadelphia
Saw this story on Action News about mutating mice and evolving rats: If the thought of mice and rats makes your skin crawl, then the phrase “mutating mice” probably sounds like something out of a horror movie. But researchers say it’s a real, growing problem, right here in Philadelphia. A recent Rutgers University study examined rodent samples […] The post I’ve Had it with These Mutating Mice and Evolving Rats in Philadelphia appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Phillies Scored Eight Runs After I Asked For Someone with Guts in the Clutch
After J.T. Realmuto gave the Phillies the lead in the top of the eighth inning on Tuesday night, I was ready to start my radio clip routine. “Man, I bet that Franzke call was a good one,” I said to myself. After listening to it, I knew it was the good stuff. As I was […] The post The Phillies Scored Eight Runs After I Asked For Someone with Guts in the Clutch appeared first on Crossing Broad .

With Rob Thomson Out of the Picture, Maybe the Phillies’ Best Right Field Option is… Nick Castellanos
Walk with me here. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Whether they want to admit it or not, the Phillies’ outfield situation falls under the category of desperate times. Nick Castellanos was inked to a five-year, $100 million contract that was set to expire at the end of this season, with the hopes he would […] The post With Rob Thomson Out of the Picture, Maybe the Phillies’ Best Right Field Option is… Nick Castellanos appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Have You Seen the Longer Version of this Wild-Ass Commercial That Airs During Phillies Games?
Remember this guy? I wrote about him last month. I saw his commercial during a Phillies game, spent a good 24 hours pondering what I’d witnessed, then rattled off a bunch of thoughts I was sorting through. I figured that’d be the end of it, but I was wrong. Today I discovered that there’s an […] The post Have You Seen the Longer Version of this Wild-Ass Commercial That Airs During Phillies Games? appeared first on Crossing Broad .

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 .

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.
