Rights To Ricky Sanchez: The Sixers Podcast

The Sixers, whose main job is to be a shit show, actually started their season! We talk about the win over the Pelicans, and Furk's hot streak, as well as every other player on the roster. Then we talk about the Ben Simmons disaster again, his suspension, and who thought this was a good idea.   Buy a Ricky Reprint Shirt here: https://crackedbellphl.com/collections/rights-to-ricky-sanchez Come out...

Ben Simmons has cleared protocols, but isn't playing due to something or other. We discuss the article from Ramona Shelbourne that talks about Simmons' fear of failure and teammate suspicions. We also discuss 538's optimistic view of the team, Isaiah Joe, B Ball Paul and Tyrese Maxey's roles, the new Ricky beer, One Beer, a double IPA from Four Fingers Brewery dedicated to Zach Lowe, and whether S...

Ben Simmons ended his holdout, sort of, by showing up at the Wells Fargo Center unannounced and texting Elton Brand? Or something? We try to discern what's happening, as we are trained to do so.

Is it just the calm before the Lillard storm, or are they losing ground in the East?
