Rights To Ricky Sanchez: The Sixers Podcast

It might seem a little excessive to do awards, grades, and predictions at the quarter-season mark of an NBA season, but to us it seems perfectly reasonable. We'll grade out all of the Sixers players, coach, and GM, as well as give out some normal, and some strange awards. We announced this week that The Ringer's Chris Ryan will join us on stage at We Were Right Before Christmas on December 22nd, a...

Hack-A-Simmons? InBentional Fouls? Whatever we're calling it, it happened against the Wizards and there was a big argument about it. We discuss that, Embiid's defensive dominance, and Adam Silver the Snake. We also announce our first special guest for We Were Right Before Christmas, tickets available on our website! They are $18 until the day of the show, when they become $20. 

Thanksgiving has passed, so has Black Friday, so we kick off Super Saturday by rehashing the LeBron to the Sixers story, worrying a touch about Ben Simmons' elbow, discussing the two comfortable wins over Portland and Utah, open up the Lorenzo Brown mailbag, and who would win in a one-possession battle, TJ or TJ? The second Live Ricky is happening on December 22nd at Underground Arts with our frie...

This is just a short note to let you know about a very special announcement, the second live Rights To Ricky Sanchez. It's taking place on December 22nd, and all of the great information is in this podcast or on our website rightstorickysanchez.com. A new full podcast is coming on Saturday.

A lot to cover on this week's podcast! We've got a Robert Covington extension (victory for The Process), a Joel Embiid explosion (victory for The Process), a half-assed admittance of being wrong by Bill Simmons, and we discuss the tale of two halves that was Saturday night's Warriors game. We also introduce some new segments named for former Sixers.

In honor of Joel Embiid's performance against the Lakers, Ben Simmons' trascendence, and Robert Covington's contract, we're reporting our October 3rd, 2013 interview with Sam Hinkie. We were all so young and innocent. We'll be back this weekend!

Sacramento, home of Sam Hinkie's greatest swindle, is where the current Sixers win streak ends. We talk about the Utah and Sacramento games, the torturous interview with Jerry Colangelo, Joel Embiid's load management, Markelle Fultz's left handed jumpers, and our baby, Robert Covington (he's our baby).

The Sixers beat the Mavericks. Then they beat the Rockets. Then they beat the Hawks. THEN THEY BEAT THE PACERS! What is going on?! It's possible the Sixers are too good, and it's here to stay. We talk about the amazing play of both Simmons and Embiid, the growth of Robert Covington, the new starting lineup, and of course, TJ McConnell. We also dive into the never ending Jahlil Okafor fiasco.

Everything has been awfully serious and sometimes depressing over the last week, so we decided to lighten the mood with an all-mailbag Ricky. We picked creative questions. We'll talk about getting into a hot tub with Sixers, all-time spin moves, seeing John Gonzalez naked, some Jigsaws for Mike, running over Lou Bega, and more. If we didn't get to your question, we will next time! Or the next time...

Just as we all predicted, the Sixers had a lead in the fourth quarter and lost to the Rockets. Are we at the point yet where we can start being mad at losses like this? We discuss the TJ McConnell game, the performance of the young stars Simmons and Embiid, and Brett Brown's coaching decisions down the stretch. We also discuss the most Sixers controversy of all-time, the Markelle Fultz injury-non-...

Playoffs! Five seed! 45 wins! The Sixers start 0-3 against the Wizards, Celtics and Raptors and nobody is happy (especially the new people!). We go through the games and tell you exactly how much you should be panicking. We discuss the Markelle Fultz situation and how to fix it, the play of Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid, and if this is, in fact, the moment.

They came, they saw, they played basketball. We discuss the Sixers opening night loss to the Wizards with an old school Sleepy Mike. Thanks to everyone who came out to hang with Spike and Marks at XFINITY Live! Remember, Bus The Process III is on sale now. Reserve your spot before we fill up. It's three nights in Chicago (March 2nd-5th), with our bus trip going to Milwaukee on Sunday, March 4th fo...

We did it! The very first live Rights To Ricky Sanchez podcast!  TJ McConnell joined us, and was just the best. We can't explain how great TJ was. Wait till you hear it. We were also joined by The Athletic's Derek Bodner, who showed up without a paywall, The Ringer's John Gonzalez, who walked here from Los Angeles, and SportsRadio 94WIP's Jon Marks (who was there but not on the pod), who is now on...

It happened! We have actual basketball to talk about it. We survived another offseason. In a bonus midweek podcast, we talk about the game, Ben Simmons Markelle Fultz, and the rest of the guys. HEY BY THE WAY, THE LIVE RICKY IS ON SATURDAY! You're lucky, there are still some tickets left. Godner will be there. Gonzo will be there. Friggin TJ McConnell will be there. Click the link below for ticket...

We wrap up Sixers training camp, preview the bigs rotation for the Sixers this season, discuss teh NBA's fake solution to tanking, recap Andrew Sharp's argument with Ben Simmons, and TJ McConnell guests (ever so briefly) to preview next week's live-on-stage Rights To Ricky Sanchez podcast. Rights To Ricky Sanchez Radio (not the podcast) will return Wednesday night at 6pm on SportsRadio 94WIP, as w...

Joel Embiid is not cleared for five-on-five basketball, as Brett Brown and Bryan Colangelo confirmed this week. What they weren't able to confirm is when he will play, and how much he'll play. What's going on here? We also preview the Sixers wings rotation for the 2017-18 season.  Still some tickets left for the LIVE RICKY! It's October 7th at 4pm (doors at 2:30pm) at Underground Arts. We'll be jo...

We're just two weeks from camp. It's time to get down to business. On today's pod, we break down the Sixers guards for this season (with wings and bigs to come in subsequent weeks). We also discuss the newest S.I. Top 100 with Ben Golliver , as well as talk to him about how much he hates Andrew Sharp.  In case you didn't hear, we'll be doing the first ever Live Rights To Ricky Sanchez podcast, and...

The 'liberal agenda' of the Rights To Ricky Sanchez can be denied no more! Dan Pfeiffer of Crooked Media's Pod Save America joins the podcast to talk about selling out and cheering for the Warriors, whether he is still actually a Sixers fan, and his rather large podcast .  We also make a special announcement about Rights To Ricky Sanchez personnel. 

We've spent a lot of time over the last four years creating enemies, some who aren't even aware that they're enemies. Thanks to the great Andrew 'Sauce Castillo' Unterberger, we go over the list of the top Enemies Of The Process of all-time. It's a good one. We also discuss the Celtics trade and fan behavior.

We've all watched a lot of Sixers for the last four years, and it hasn't always been easy. But once in a while, even if you don't tell anyone, you can skip a game. You can scroll through Twitter or watch the new Black Mirror trailer while you watch. Molly Sullivan French has not had that option. Along with the rest of the TV team of Marc Zumoff and Alaa Abdelnaby, Molly has had to not just watch,...

If you thought there's nothing to talk about on a Sixers podcast in August, you'd be wrong. We discuss the schedule (along with all of the nationally televised games), Bus The Process III, Mike's new TV show, the NBAPA Awards, and the MVP and Rookie Of The Year odds for 2017-18. We also squeeze in some relationship advice. Bus The Process III: Operation Shithole is on sale now. We're going to the...

Kate! Kate Fagan, who still exists in the depths of our hearts as our Eddie Jordan/Doug Collins era Sixers beat writer favorite (we remember Deep Sixer), joins the podcast to talk about her new, excellent book, What Made Maddy Run, and her time in Philadelphia.  We also discuss the Sixers playing on Christmas, and Spike's weird online exchange with Ben Simmons about his consumption of morning Chin...

We discuss the slow week in Sixers news (including Embiid not being cleared for five-on-five), and do a mostly non-basketball 'Ask Me Anything' with questions we pulled from both Reddit and Twitter. Thanks for all of the questions and for supporting the true off-season Ricky!

It was bound to happen. That's right, the great Tony Wroten joined us on the podcast. He's the best. He discussed Embiid, iPhone screens, slapping the hardwood, Team WHOP and more. Thanks Tony! We were also joined by our friend Ange Goldstein. Check out his new show on MTV, Vidiots, Thursdays at 8:30pm. Also check out his podcast, "Sorry I've Been So Busy."

We promised, and we delivered. Spike promised for months that when we hit 1,000 5-star reviews on Apple Podcasts and iTunes, he'd read every accompanying review. Over four hours of recording later, it's done.  Also, big news, TONY F'N WROTEN will be on the podcast this weekend.
