March 19, 2000. Buffalo, New York. Temple vs. Seton Hall in the NCAA tournament’s round of 32. Overtime. #2 seed Temple is down by two following a late three pointer by Seton Hall point guard Ty Shine. There are 18.9 seconds, potentially, remaining in the Owls’ season. Starting point guard Pepe Sanchez has fouled out, […]
Even though the Sixers didn’t win the lottery, it really kinda feels like the Sixers won the lottery. I mean, THE PICKS ACTUALLY SWAPPED! The Sixers were able to move up from what should of been the fifth spot in the draft and are now sitting snuggly at the third pick. The ghost of Sam […]

Vinny Velasquez Belongs in the Bullpen
Vince Velasquez’ most recent start against the Washington Nationals was his first outing of the season to last seven innings and only the fourth time he’s gone seven or more innings in 30 career starts with the Phillies. When the Phillies decided to move Ken Giles, they were attempting to sell high on a dime-a-dozen […]
Without Joel Embiid the Sixers were able to overcome a 19-point deficit to defeat a talented Clippers team last night. In the last 21:40 to play, the Sixers outscored the Clippers 62-32 to ensure the team’s 121-110 victory and their ninth win in the last 10 games. The Clippers were missing their best player, Chris […]
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. Everyone just saw what I saw right? Because I have just witnessed great things. 20 points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes of play. Ladies and gentlemen, Joel Embiid has finally arrived. This was a debut three years in the making and my God it was […]

Hot damn football’s back! The Eagles begin their season tomorrow against the Cleveland Browns and will start their first rookie quarterback in franchise history. What a time to be alive! The Browns are the poop stain of the NFL — that’s why they’re called the Browns — but im gonna be real with you, it’s […]
With the start of training camp just a little ways away, the Eagles have done a good job of keeping all their ducks in a row leading up to the season. Fletcher Cox is now being paid like a mid level NBA starter, which takes care of the team’s most disgruntle Eagle. The gapping hole that […]
Every year at free agency time, the city of Philadelphia collectively takes a very, very deep breath. For years we’ve had General Managers throw absurd contracts at hot ticket free agents, only to blow up in our faces. Today, we exhaled. Finally some management in this city understands how you run a successful sports team. […]

76ers Draft Review: It was pretty great
Does anyone have a pair of sunglasses I can borrow? BECAUSE IT IS SO FREAKIN LIT! I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect going into Bryan Colangelo’s first draft as Sixers’ GM. The thought of Andrea Bargnani was more than enough to scare me shitless. As weary as I’ve been of Bryan since […]
