Darius Cooper Had a Couple of Touchdowns, if Anybody Cares
Anybody feel like talking about that game? Yeah, didn’t think so. At least Darius Cooper had a nice game. Here are his touchdowns: Anyway, see ya on Monday! We’ll complain about the Eagles tomorrow.

Sad Collapse – 34 Immediate Observations from Rams 24, Eagles 20
Well, that was certainly a game of football. Two teams got together to play some bad offense and commit a lot of penalties and make a lot of mistakes. The result was an Eagles choke job and a 24-20 loss. They really had no business dropping that game. Yeah, they were missing some key pieces. […] The post Sad Collapse – 34 Immediate Observations from Rams 24, Eagles 20 appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Of All the Phillies Disappointments in 2026, Trea Turner May Top the List
The 2026 Phillies season felt cursed from the jump. Starting the season 9-19 had a lot of us calling for the end of the Rob Thomson era, if only because it might wake up the players sleepwalking through another long 162-game season. It wasn’t that we thought the manager was the reason for the 9-19 […] The post Of All the Phillies Disappointments in 2026, Trea Turner May Top the List appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Riq Woolen Says He Didn’t Hear the Play Call Before Eagles Were Torched for a 41-Yard Touchdown
The Bears handed the Eagles a 27-7 beatdown on Monday night, and as the week chugs along and we all try to figure out what the hell happened at Soldier Field, some interesting tidbits have been coming to light. Here’s one that I’ve been thinking about a lot: Riq Woolen claims to have not heard […] The post Riq Woolen Says He Didn’t Hear the Play Call Before Eagles Were Torched for a 41-Yard Touchdown appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Running Through the Phillies’ Lame-Ass Post-Game Quotes After Yet Another Sad Playoff Exit
The Phillies’ postseason is over about as quickly as it began, and this era of Philadelphia baseball may be over with it. That’d be nice. Let’s do something else. This sucks. After a Game 3 that had all the signatures of a pathetic Phillies performance (bad manager decisions, quiet bats, depth problems everywhere you look, […] The post Running Through the Phillies’ Lame-Ass Post-Game Quotes After Yet Another Sad Playoff Exit appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Sean Mannion Gives a Disheartening Answer When Asked About the Eagles’ Loathsome Screen Game
Reading through the Sean Mannion midweek quote sheet, I got to this exchange below. Every fiber of my being began to pulse with abhorrence, and untethered contempt: Q. You guys have been pretty consistent targeting WR Makai Lemon on the screen passes, like the swing pass. They’ve been going for negative yards. I guess what […] The post Sean Mannion Gives a Disheartening Answer When Asked About the Eagles’ Loathsome Screen Game appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Painful: The Eagles Will (Reportedly) Not Have DeVonta Smith, But the Rams (Reportedly) Will Have Puka Nacua
Well this sucks! Eagles not expected to have their best receiver, while the Rams are expected to return their best receiver. Lovely! Smitty leads the Birds with 235 receiving yards. That’s on a team-high 19 receptions and 27 targets. He has one touchdown and his fourth quarter Tennessee toe-taps are the only reason the Birds […] The post Painful: The Eagles Will (Reportedly) Not Have DeVonta Smith, But the Rams (Reportedly) Will Have Puka Nacua appeared first on Crossing Broad .
This Era of Phillies Baseball is Officially Over, With a Wimpy Wild Card Exit
In the interest of full transparency, I fell asleep on the couch while watching the Phillies lose Game 3 to the Braves. It was at some point in the third inning, when they were down 3-0 and making Ray fucking Kerr look like Sandy Koufax. Kyle Schwarber was the only batter who could do anything […] The post This Era of Phillies Baseball is Officially Over, With a Wimpy Wild Card Exit appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The 2026 Phillies Season is Over
The Phillies season is over, and Thursday night’s winner-take-all game never felt competitive. Aaron Nola allowed a 3-run blast to Michael Harris II in the first inning, and the Phillies could never claw back. I’ll have more thoughts tomorrow for ya right here at Crossing Broad, but for now, here are some notes on the […] The post The 2026 Phillies Season is Over appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Kevin Willard Admits Villanova Has So Many Upperclassmen Transfers That He’s Not Even Recruiting High School Players Anymore
The gap between the haves and the have-nots in college basketball keeps on getting bigger, and Kevin Willard just underlined the ever-growing divide: the Villanova head coach admitted he’s not even recruiting players out of high school this year because he has so many talented upperclassmen returning for a fifth year — most of whom […] The post Kevin Willard Admits Villanova Has So Many Upperclassmen Transfers That He’s Not Even Recruiting High School Players Anymore appeared first on Crossi...
I Could Not Care Less That LeBron James Considered the New York Knicks
The LeBron James circus is still in its opening act in Philadelphia, and each of us is still adjusting to what this means, media-wise. As has been the case for most of his career, pundits cling to seemingly every off-the-cuff comment James makes nearly every day. This is an experience we should just be beginning […] The post I Could Not Care Less That LeBron James Considered the New York Knicks appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Bryce Harper Explains How He Was Able to Flush His Outfield Blunder and Respond with a Homer
Bryce Harper was public enemy number one – until he wasn’t. Game tied 1-1, bottom of the 7th, man on first and second, one out. Drake Baldwin hit a routine fly ball to right field. Bryce stood under it, weirdly rotated his feet/hips, backed up, put his arm up, and let the ball bounce off […] The post Bryce Harper Explains How He Was Able to Flush His Outfield Blunder and Respond with a Homer appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Alec Bohm Picked a Good Time to Play His Best Baseball of the Season
Watched this at least 15 times and still not sure how Alec Bohm hit it out of the ballpark. It was a 99 mph fastball coming high and inside and he somehow got his hands around: Matt Vasgersian had no idea that was going out. Not sure I did either! Bohm mentioned after the game […] The post Alec Bohm Picked a Good Time to Play His Best Baseball of the Season appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Flyers Got Whooped in the Season Opener
Everything was all lined up for the Flyers to make Wednesday a truly excellent Philly sports day. The Phillies won Game 2 of the Wild Card series in dramatic fashion by actually, shockingly, showing some heart and grit. Scott Franzke gave us another classic Franzke call. The Flyers were set to host the Penguins for […] The post The Flyers Got Whooped in the Season Opener appeared first on Crossing Broad .
It’s All Hands on Deck For the Phillies and Braves in Game 3
After a heroic 4-3 Phillies win on Wednesday afternoon, there will be a do-or-die Game 3 on Thursday night at 8:00 PM at Truist Park. For both teams, it’s all hands on deck. The Phillies will start Aaron Nola on Thursday night, according to multiple reports. The Phillies coaching staff met after Game 2 to […] The post It’s All Hands on Deck For the Phillies and Braves in Game 3 appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Eagles Totally Stink in the Third Quarter
Saw this on the timeline and thought I’d dig in a little bit more: They’re terrible in the third quarter. You could make the argument that the Chicago game was lost when they blew up their first two drives of the second half with passes thrown behind the line of scrimmage that went for yardage […] The post The Eagles Totally Stink in the Third Quarter appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The NBA Deciding to Crack Down on Push-Offs Now That Jaylen Brown is in Philly Feels Like an Anti-Sixers Conspiracy
The NBA released a video series on officiating Points of Emphasis for the coming season, and the first thing the league says it’ll be keeping a closer eye on is the off-arm push-off: I have three big thoughts on this. 1. This is an obvious conspiracy against the Sixers Just feels a little convenient that […] The post The NBA Deciding to Crack Down on Push-Offs Now That Jaylen Brown is in Philly Feels Like an Anti-Sixers Conspiracy appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Add “Table For Two at the Chop House, Please!” to the List of Legendary Scott Franzke Calls
One game. I said after yesterday’s game it was possible. Of course it’s possible to win one game. As long as you look at one game as being only one game and not the beginning of more than one game. The Phillies felt like maybe the magic had run completely dry, especially after Bryce Harper […] The post Add “Table For Two at the Chop House, Please!” to the List of Legendary Scott Franzke Calls appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Andrew Painter Sure Didn’t Look Like the Same Guy Who Was Sent to Lehigh Valley in June With a 7.06 ERA
What can you say about Andrew Painter’s Game 2 performance in Atlanta? He was incredible out of the bullpen, throwing three clean innings in the 4-3 win. He tossed 37 pitches, 25 for strikes, and whiffed the side in the bottom of the tenth: Painter threw the changeup 16 times with a 36.4% whiff rate.

The Phillies are the First Team to Win a Playoff Game With an ABS Challenge
This is kind of dope: That was… cooler than I thought it was gonna be? You’re going into this thinking that it might be an anticlimactic way to end a game, but even though it only took 16 seconds, there was a pretty sick buildup. It started with J.T. Realmuto and Andrew Painter both signaling […] The post The Phillies are the First Team to Win a Playoff Game With an ABS Challenge appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Just Find a Way: Phillies Late-Inning Heroics Force a Game 3
The Phillies, with their backs against the wall, sent their ace to the mound to save the season. Cristopher Sanchez battled through 116 pitches, Bryce Harper made a crucial mistake, and the Phillies hit three home runs in the last three innings of this game. The Phillies win 4-3 and force a Game 3, and […] The post Just Find a Way: Phillies Late-Inning Heroics Force a Game 3 appeared first on Crossing Broad .
On LeBron James and His Helicopter Commute To and From New York City
When LeBron signed with the Sixers back in July, the rumor was he’d live in New York and commute to games by helicopter. People got a lot of content out of that story. Lot of people made worried, Kobe parallels/comments about helicopter flights. Non-Sixers fans used it to troll Philadelphia in general by saying LeBron […] The post On LeBron James and His Helicopter Commute To and From New York City appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Phillies’ Bullpen Cost Them Game 1, and That’s on Dave Dombrowski
The Phillies lost a heartbreaker to the Braves in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series on Tuesday afternoon, and Phils fans can thank Dave Dombrowski for it. After J.T. Realmuto put Philly up 3-2 with a massive, momentum-swinging 2-run triple in the seventh inning that no one on the planet expected after the year […] The post The Phillies’ Bullpen Cost Them Game 1, and That’s on Dave Dombrowski appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Nothing Can Prepare Us For the Fake News Sixers Onslaught Coming from Myriad Provocateurs and Agitators
Saw this on the timeline: This clip is terrible for three reasons: Based on what? High expectations? There are high expectations for the big Eastern Conference teams every year. The Celtics’ regular season was different last year, sure, but they went into the playoffs as the 2 seed with Jayson Tatum back in the fold.

Theory: Rome Odunze Dropped That Touchdown Pass on Purpose, Because He Saw Jalen Carter Get Mugged and Wanted to Do the Right Thing
Tell me you saw this the other night. On the touchdown pass that Rome Odunze dropped, Jalen Carter beat his guy with a swim move and ended up on the ground: Surely this is a penalty, yes? Carter beats his guy and is basically shoved in the back while trying to get to Case Keenum.
