Running Out of Headlines to Explain This Incredible Philadelphia Union Run
The Union won again, 2-1 this time over Real Salt Lake at the Soob. Check out the dummy on the opener: It’s a Bruno Damiani goal with a primary assist from Frankie Westfield and a hockey assist from Cavan Sullivan. Minor pet peeve, maybe you agree, maybe you don’t, but I always felt like a […] The post Running Out of Headlines to Explain This Incredible Philadelphia Union Run appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Danny Briere Tried to Warn Us About This Flyers Team
Danny Briere warned us about the winless Flyers over the summer. Remember these quotes about expectations? Transcribed by Kevin Durso at 97.3 ESPN: “I’m excited about the way our team played in the second half last year. It’s dangerous because, from the fan standpoint, it was so good the way the season ended, it was […] The post Danny Briere Tried to Warn Us About This Flyers Team appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Flyers Are Worse Than You Think
Seven games. Seven losses. Two points. The Philadelphia Flyers have already cemented the start of their 2026-27 campaign as their worst start to a season ever. They have quickly joined the “Unbelievably Hard to Watch” list with the Eagles and Phillies. It’s a pretty big bummer since most of us were excited to see how […] The post The Flyers Are Worse Than You Think appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Jalen Hurts Overthrowing a Wide-Open Dontayvion Wicks Might’ve Cost the Eagles the Win
Nick Sirianni is getting buried for the Eagles’ 19-17 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. After going up 17-16 with eight seconds left in the game, the Birds’ head coach had Jake Elliot boot a short kick to Ameer Abdullah instead of kicking the ball out of the end zone or going with a squib, […] The post Jalen Hurts Overthrowing a Wide-Open Dontayvion Wicks Might’ve Cost the Eagles the Win appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Nick Sirianni: “I Lost Us That Game”
The Eagles lost to the Jaguars 19-17 on Sunday after leading 17-16 with :08 left in the game. They blew it, full-stop, and Nick Sirianni knows whose fault it was: REPORTER: “The decision not to kick the ball out of bounds in the end, can you take us through your thought process there?” SIRIANNI: “You […] The post Nick Sirianni: “I Lost Us That Game” appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Eagles Lose a Heartbreaker by Being the Dumber Team
The Eagles had this one. Jake Elliot hit a 48-yard field goal to give the Birds a 17-16 lead with :08 remaining in the fourth quarter. That should’ve been ballgame. Then this happened: Which led to this: Eagles lose to the Jaguars in London, 19-17. The Birds lost this game for a bunch of reasons, […] The post Eagles Lose a Heartbreaker by Being the Dumber Team appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Can the Eagles Offense Do Anything in London Without WR1, RB1, RB2, RT1, LG1, and C1?
EDIT: Here it is – Alright, let’s get it back to the Eagles with this: We’ll update when the injury report goes official, but the Eagles look they’re going to be without Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, DeVonta Smith, Hollywood Brown, and Drew Kendall. Lane Johnson retired and Cam Jurgens was traded, both this week. Fred […] The post Can the Eagles Offense Do Anything in London Without WR1, RB1, RB2, RT1, LG1, and C1? appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Joel Embiid Says Tardiness Report, Which Mike Breen Apologized For, is Not True
This story was pretty much dead on the vine, but Joel Embiid was asked about the Mike Breen tardiness report after Thursday’s preseason game in Brooklyn and said this, via Dave McMenamin at ESPN: NEW YORK — Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid said a recent report about LeBron James getting on him about being late […] The post Joel Embiid Says Tardiness Report, Which Mike Breen Apologized For, is Not True appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Everybody in the Dak Prescott Video is Embarrassing
The Cowboys are a disgrace. They lost at home to the 0-4 Buccaneers and then this happened: Everybody in this video was embarrassing on Thursday night. Dak’s performance was embarrassing. The two interceptions probably were not his fault, and should have been caught by NFL players, but he missed a wide-open Jake Ferguson on a […] The post Everybody in the Dak Prescott Video is Embarrassing appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Rick Tocchet Says Flyers Competed in Ottawa, Even Though it “Still Sucks to Lose”
The Flyers remain winless after a 2-1 loss in Ottawa. They’re 0-3-2 and last place in the Metro. “The compete was there,” said head coach Rick Tocchet after the game. “Guys really worked hard. Obviously had penalty trouble, one that cost us there at the end. But we have the 5 on 3 and we […] The post Rick Tocchet Says Flyers Competed in Ottawa, Even Though it “Still Sucks to Lose” appeared first on Crossing Broad .
LeBron James Might Toss 600 or 700 Assists This Season
There was a loud explosion in the neighborhood this morning and the power went out. Yay! So I am sharing LeBron James assist video from McDonald’s: LeBron played 18 minutes and finished with 10 points, 5 assists, and 4 rebounds. At a per-36 minute clip, that’s a 20/10/8 line, though this was, of course, a […] The post LeBron James Might Toss 600 or 700 Assists This Season appeared first on Crossing Broad .
There is No Point in Doing Cautionary Tales with James Franklin, Who Lost at Home to Pitt’s Backup QB After Four Virginia Tech Turnovers
I saw some people sharing this column on social. It’s from CBS Sports’ John Talty and titled “Penn State fired James Franklin to join college football’s elite — instead, it became a cautionary tale.” The subheader reads – “The Nittany Lions’ mess of a coaching search and stumbling start to 2026 should serve as a […] The post There is No Point in Doing Cautionary Tales with James Franklin, Who Lost at Home to Pitt’s Backup QB After Four Virginia Tech Turnovers appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Opinion: The Dodgers Fan Who Refused to Give His Foul Ball to a Little Kid Did the Right Thing
This story about a Dodgers fan refusing to give a foul ball he caught to a little kid is going pretty viral, and I feel strongly enough about it to weigh in.

Stephen A Smith Apologizes for Lane Johnson and Mental Health Comments
Stephen A Smith apologized on Thursday for mocking Lane Johnson’s retirement: “My intent was joking about the Eagles. Bottom line is this – it doesn’t matter what my intent was. It’s how it’s perceived. I messed up. By the way, for those of you out there (watching) right now, this is not ESPN.

10 Alternate Modes of Transportation LeBron James Can Use if the Fanatics Helicopter Becomes Unavailable
As you know, LeBron James is currently commuting between New York and Philadelphia via helicopter. He’s using a Fanatics-branded chopper as part of the 2024 sponsorship deal he signed with Michael Rubin’s company. The chopper commute is totally legitimate and legal. It’s not some Aspiration and Kawhi Leonard situation, as haters allege. LeBron became a […] The post 10 Alternate Modes of Transportation LeBron James Can Use if the Fanatics Helicopter Becomes Unavailable appeared first on Cross...
Never Forget That Cam Jurgens Played with a Broken Back to Help the Eagles Win a Super Bowl
Cam Jurgens was traded to the Ravens on Wednesday. The Eagles swapped the two-time Pro Bowler and a 2027 7th-round pick for a 2027 5th-round pick and a 2028 2nd-round pick. It feels like the end of an era, in a way. Along with Lane Johnson announcing his retirement on Tuesday, Jurgens’ departure is just […] The post Never Forget That Cam Jurgens Played with a Broken Back to Help the Eagles Win a Super Bowl appeared first on Crossing Broad .
LeBron James’ Impact on the Sixers Extends Well Beyond the Basketball Court
It typically doesn’t take long in a Sixers conversation to be reminded that this franchise hasn’t made it past the second playoff round in 25 years. It’s been roughly 13 since the Process era began. There have been quite a few different flavors of sour postseason exits. From quadruple-bounces on the rim, unsatisfactory backup center […] The post LeBron James’ Impact on the Sixers Extends Well Beyond the Basketball Court appeared first on Crossing Broad .
As Long as Howie Roseman is Around, the Eagles Will Be in Positions to Reload, not Rebuild
When the Eagles traded Cam Jurgens to the Ravens on Wednesday, the draft and cap guys started thinking. Fans and media joined in. What was the key takeaway? What was the #1 thing that trumped everything else? I think it’s this: Howie acquired both of these guys in 2022, won a Super Bowl with them, […] The post As Long as Howie Roseman is Around, the Eagles Will Be in Positions to Reload, not Rebuild appeared first on Crossing Broad .

LeBron Calls Bullshit on Mike Breen’s Story of Joel Embiid Being Late to the Practice Court (UPDATED)
There really is a new LeBron story every day. It’s pretty fun. I enjoy thinking about the Sixers. It’s nice having new Sixers stuff to think about every time I wake up.

Vic Fangio Says He Isn’t Worried About the Eagles Pass Rush, but Maybe He Should Be
The Eagles have 4 sacks this season. That ranks 28th in the NFL. Not good. They have a 2.8% sack rate. That ranks 30th in the NFL. Not good. But as concerning as those numbers sound, Vic Fangio didn’t seem too worried when asked about the pass rush during the team’s midweek press availability: Q.

Eagles Trading Cam Jurgens, and the Timing is Funny Considering That Mitchell Schwartz Tweet
According to Schefty: That’s incredible return. You’re trading Jurgens and a 7th to Baltimore for a 5th and a 2nd? That’s more than what they used to draft him back in 2022! You have to pull the trigger on an offer like that if it comes your way.
