The Broad Street Line

The NBA is proof that the bubble works... hopefully, other professional sports leagues can learn from this model. That said, when certain players leave the bubble to get food (see: Williams, Lou), there's not much you can do.

Sports are back! Do we deserve them? Probably not, but we'll enjoy them while they last. We'll also give Snoop and DMX their flowers after an amazing Verzuz battle.

The point guard experiment is over for Ben Simmons... The Australian star is now the Philadelphia 76ers' starting power forward, but is it enough to keep Brett Brown's job? Also, in the most important news of the week, we preview next week's Verzuz matchup between DMX and Snoop Dogg.

There's a lot of fallout from the DeSean Jackson situation... did the Philadelphia Eagles do the right thing? We know for certain that the Washington Football Team did the right thing by getting rid of their racist team name, but it may be a while before their fans - or any team's fans, for that matter - can see them in person.

If we're creative - and socially responsible - we might be able to have fans in the stands at American sporting events later this year. But in the case of most sports, there will be fewer games to watch this season.

NASCAR's most memorable weekend in recent years was also one of its worst... we'll do a deep dive into the Bubba Wallace situation and explore where the sport goes from here. We also have baseball on the horizon, but is a 60-game season legit?

Most counties in Pennsylvania are officially in the "green" phase, and most professional sports are headed there as well. But before any games are played, we're seeing players in the NBA and the NFL using their leverage to ensure that the leagues and owners realize that Black Lives Matter.

Author/freelance writer Chris Stevens joins The Broad Street Line to help us dig through all 10 episodes of The Last Dance documentary. Later in the show, we discuss the NBA's plan to restart the season, and debate ESPN's list of the top 74 players of all time.

Jason Ashworth of NBC Sports Philadelphia's Birds Outsiders joins the show to help us understand the Philadelphia Eagles' draft strategy. Because we still don't get it. And later, we wrap things up with a discussion about ESPN's The Last Dance documentary.

Recorded mere hours before the 2020 NFL Draft, we break down all of the options for the Eagles with the 21st overall pick. We also discuss the latest spate of WWE layoffs and furloughs, and assess the PGA Tour's plan to begin their season.

Will the NBA finish its season in Las Vegas? Will the MLB create a virtual bubble in Phoenix to kick off 2020? We break down the various options major professional sports leagues may pursue in order to get back on the field and court.

There would have been a TON of sports going on this weekend. Sadly, there were none. But somehow, the Eagles and Sixers still found a way to be in the news despite the lack of games.

California wants to give college athletes the ability to make money off of their likenesses. Of course, the NCAA doesn't like that. It may not matter: if/when it becomes law, it'll open the floodgates in every other state. And speaking of floodgates, is there any way to stem the tide of foreign teams smoking Team USA in basketball competitions?

The Antonio Brown saga never ends, but that all takes a back seat to the start of the NFL season. And with the in-home game watching experience getting better by the year, the Wells Fargo Center takes an aggressive approach to courting fans.

Since the Philadelphia Eagles didn't take the preseason all that seriously, we know you have a lot of questions about the team heading into the 2019 campaign. Fortunately, we have the answers... or at least we hope we do.

For the fifth straight year, The Broad Street Line took the stage at the Philadelphia Podcast Festival to break down the past year in sports as only they can. James "The Blueprint" Williams of War Room Sports joined the duo to talk about his writing career and to help us create a "Table of Gods" for Philly sports. This was a WILD one... you don't want to miss it...

Before the Kawhi Leonard/Paul George bomb dropped, we recorded an episode to get you caught up on all of the moves made during free agency, including the Philadelphia 76ers poaching Al Horford from the Boston Celtics...

Two Big 5 mainstays - Phil Martelli and Fran Dunphy - will no longer be patrolling the benches for their respective schools. Can both of their replacements return the glory to the two programs? We debate that and another big college basketball story: Was Tom Izzo wrong?

Philadelphia Eagles GM Howie Roseman never seems to sleep... how else can you explain everything he's done over the past week to free up cap space? We'll examine those moves and tally up how much bread the Phillies have made since Bryce Harper came to town.

Bryce Harper wants to bring a winner to Philadelphia, and he signed a 13-year deal to show just how committed he is to the city. And after the Harper talk, we debate exactly how Johnny Manziel got kicked out of an entire country.

Robert Kraft would normally get all of the jokes, but there's an important situation at the heart of the matter, and we explore that on this edition of The Broad Street Line. And in a twist, we dive into the Android/iPhone debate with a look at Samsung's foldable phone.

With 24 games left in the regular season, do the Philadelphia 76ers have enough time to figure it all out? And with Colin Kaepernick settling with the NFL, can we expect to see the former star QB back in the pros this season?

Welcome to Philadelphia, Tobias Harris! A Big Four is cool, but a Big Five is even better! But with the other moves made by their Eastern Conference counterparts, do the Philadelphia 76ers have enough firepower to make it to the NBA Finals?

We guess we gotta talk about this Super Bowl, but first... we'll explain how the NFLPA is playing chess while others play checks, and we'll give a pass to Clinton Portis for sipping on Henny before talking the field.

It's trade and buyout season in the NBA, but will the Philadelphia 76ers make any moves before the deadline? It's also #MockDraftSZN for the Eagles, who have a LOT of needs to fill in April's draft....
