Jaylen Brown is officially a member of the Philadelphia 76ers. While LeBron James mania has dominated the headlines since the blockbuster deal, Brown is the pillar that made that addition possible and will be a foundational part of this Sixers season and beyond.

Really Been Enjoying the Fallout of Kevin Durant Comparing LeBron James Joining the Sixers to KD Joining the Warriors
This is a good story. I’m having fun. If you haven’t been keeping up, I’ll fill you in, but just know that it’s a very complicated case, Maude. Lot of ins, lot of outs, lot of what have you’s. Here’s the gist: Kevin Durant compared LeBron joining the Sixers to when KD joined the 2016-2017 […] The post Really Been Enjoying the Fallout of Kevin Durant Comparing LeBron James Joining the Sixers to KD Joining the Warriors appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Madden 27 Soundtrack is… Honestly Pretty Good
The Madden soundtrack is out: “Really happy that madden is straying from featuring artists like Fleshlight and YBG Dong ft. Yung Dookie and decided to make an actual respectable soundtrack with good music,” wrote Packers scribe Zach Jacobson on X. I agree with Mr Jacobson. I expected Madden 27 to feature artists like YBG Dong […] The post The Madden 27 Soundtrack is… Honestly Pretty Good appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Very Good News: Joel Embiid is Skinny Now
Joel Embiid posted some workout photos on Wednesday, which provided some very good news: Joel is skinny now: It’s an exciting two photos. I think they’re exciting. This is news.

Cruz Azul is About to Learn the Hard Way
The Union play a Mexican team called Cruz Azul on Thursday night at Subaru Park. This is part of the “Leagues Cup” tournament that no one seems to care about.

Anyway, these jokers posted a […] The post Cruz Azul is About to Learn the Hard Way appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Fact Check: Are the Eagles the NFL’s #1 Nickel Team?
Let’s do two Vic Fangio posts in a row since it’s a slow day. This exchange from Wednesday’s presser was interesting: Q. In these past few years, you’ve played more nickel snaps than any team in the league. (Zach Berman) Vic Fangio: I don’t think that’s true, but we’re high. Q. Is that based on […] The post Fact Check: Are the Eagles the NFL’s #1 Nickel Team? appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Vic Fangio Remains a Rob Thomson Defender
Saw this on the Eagles quote sheet and it was good for a laugh: Q. [Regarding recent Philadelphia Phillies moves.] (Pat Gallen) Vic Fangio: Definitely going to improve their offense.

I mean, [Phillies players] Nick Castellanos, Matt Strahm, […] The post Vic Fangio Remains a Rob Thomson Defender appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Phillies Phantastic Auction Winner Who Called an Inning on the Radio Was Fantastic
During the third inning of Wednesday night’s game against the Nationals, Phillies Phantastic Auction winner Lewis Kalb joined Scott Franzke and Larry Andersen in the radio booth. While many others who have tried this feat often get lambasted by the public, Kalb was getting rave reviews after his appearance. He actually sounded like he belonged.

Stefon Diggs is a Commie
The news from Ian Rapoport: According to Nicki Jhabvala at The Athletic, Diggs inked a one-year, $12 million deal, which makes for a pretty good signing by the Commies.

Sure Sounds Like We’re Gonna Get Point Guard LeBron in Philly
John Clark sat down with Nick Nurse to catch up on the new-look Sixers, and the Philadelphia head coach more or less confirmed what Shams reported on last week: LeBron James is going to be running some point guard this season: “I think he’s an offense creator, right? He certainly is a guy that will […] The post Sure Sounds Like We’re Gonna Get Point Guard LeBron in Philly appeared first on Crossing Broad .

How Will the Snobs Transport Their Diner En Blanc Equipment if Wagons are (Allegedly) Banned?
One of our guys came across this Facebook post from Diner En Blanc Philadelphia. It was then deleted, very mysteriously! But it said that wagons and hard coolers won’t be allowed at DEB 2026: There was also this post, saying that an email went out to DEB participants: We’ll have to “effort” more on this.

Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me Luis Arraez Was a Swag Guy?
I didn’t know Luis Arraez was a swag guy. No one told me this. If anything, I would’ve thought he was boring because the big knock on him is that he only hits singles, which is the most boring kind of hit. But I was dead wrong. And I’m delighted to be wrong. Arraez has […] The post Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me Luis Arraez Was a Swag Guy? appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Colin Cowherd With a Good Monologue on Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, and the Farcical Athletes-and-Politics Topic
As you know, the Caitlin Clark/Sophie Cunningham/trans athlete/WNBA/etc. conversation is the most exhausting and ridiculous in sports right now. It could possibly be the most preposterous running combination of topics in the history of the universe, this incredible intersection of politics, sexuality, race, gender, human physiology, and related subjects. It’s a shit show. The far […] The post Colin Cowherd With a Good Monologue on Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, and the Farcical Athletes-a...
“What Kind of Person Brings a Laser to a Game?” Asks John Kruk
A jabroni brought a laser pointer to Citizens Bank Park: Feels like we haven’t had a laser incident in a while. Lasers are so passe’. They were cool 15 years ago, or at the Boyertown Planetarium in 1999 when the teacher would hand one to you and say “point to Orion’s Belt.” Then you felt […] The post “What Kind of Person Brings a Laser to a Game?” Asks John Kruk appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Hell? – Target is Selling Sick Eagles Starter Jackets
The tweet that brought this to my attention, with a photo from a Target in West Goshen: I am shocked by this. I haven’t been to Target in a very long time, and I guess no one told me Target has sick-ass clothes now. Last time I went to one – had to be around […] The post The Hell? – Target is Selling Sick Eagles Starter Jackets appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Luis Arraez is a Jolt of Unique Energy, Which is Exactly What the Phillies Needed
Luis Arraez pounded his chest and screamed at the dugout like they just won the World Series after his first Phillies hit. That, right there, is exactly what the Phillies need. The new Phillies second baseman, and cleanup hitter, made his Phillies debut in Tuesday night’s 5-0 win over the Nationals. Arraez, the 29-year-old 3-time […] The post Luis Arraez is a Jolt of Unique Energy, Which is Exactly What the Phillies Needed appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The New MLS Commissioner is a Cherry Hill Guy
The news: Cherry Hill, the international incubator of sports leadership, has done it again: native Larry Berg will be the new MLS commissioner. Berg was a co-owner of LAFC before being voted into his new position. He will now succeed Don Garber, who’s been MLS commissioner since 1999. That’s a pretty long reign for a […] The post The New MLS Commissioner is a Cherry Hill Guy appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Royals Have Designated Matt Strahm for Assignment
Meantime: 7.32 ERA this season. His HR/9 is 9.8 and his BB/9 is 3.5. He’s coming off three appearances in a row with at least one run allowed and he’s given up four home runs since the beginning of July, when his ERA was 5.53. So the answer is no. No to a Phillies return. […] The post The Royals Have Designated Matt Strahm for Assignment appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Shoutout to the AAA Employee in South Philly With a LeBron James-as-Ben Franklin Computer Wallpaper
The tweet: Hell yeah. This is a great to see: some employee at a AAA in South Philly was so excited about LeBron, so thrilled, so beside themselves, that they had to change the office computer wallpaper to a Photoshop of LeBron as Benjamin Franklin. That’s a real fan. That’s what fandom is all about. […] The post Shoutout to the AAA Employee in South Philly With a LeBron James-as-Ben Franklin Computer Wallpaper appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Jaylen Brown’s Latest Twitch Stream Gifted Us a Bounty Of Great Content
First off, I feel like I should say: This rules. I’m really enjoying having Jaylen Brown on the Sixers, and the season is still three months away. He goes skydiving in Egypt.

And, of course, he does Twitch streams pretty often, which are always […] The post Jaylen Brown’s Latest Twitch Stream Gifted Us a Bounty Of Great Content appeared first on Crossing Broad .
