The Broad Street Line

An extraordinary piece courtesy of ESPN.com sheds quite a bit of light on the Joel Embiid situation, including the fact that he finds it hard to let others into his inner circle. And, since it's a day that ends in Y, we discuss yet another injury to Sixers' player. Thankfully, the wrestling this past weekend was GOOD, and Kyle Schwarber saved the All-Star game thanks to his trio of moonshots.

While it's hot outside, it's even hotter out in Utah where V.J. Edgecombe was COOKING in the Summer League... before he got hurt. After we lament why we can't have nice things, we debate the five most important Philadelphia Eagles as we head into a slow period in the world of professional sports. That goodness for the quality graps heading our way courtesy of WWE and AEW.

The WNBA is coming to town... in a couple of years. Brace yourself for the Philadelphia Freedom (which we think they'll be named), but count Philadelphia among the cities that are joining the women's basketball boom. Later in the show, we'll talk about LeBron James doing LeBron James things, and the return of an unlikely video game franchise.

V.J. Edgecombe... welcome to Philadelphia. By the way, we always wanted you more than Ace Bailey, anyway. And with Joel Embiid set to be ready "right around" training camp, and with half of the Eastern Conference out with Achilles injuries, this may even be THE YEAR. Oh, by the way, the Thunder won the NBA title, and look poised to dominate for the next 5 years.

Ace Bailey told the Sixers to kick rocks, and it appears that the team is ready to tell him the same. We're less than a week out from the NBA Draft, and all signs point to Baylor's V.J. Edgecombe as the newest member of the 76ers. We'll break down all of the main prospects who figure to be on the board when the Sixers pick, and we also light up a local radio station that leverages clickbait for en...

Are the Sixers moving up or down in the 2025 NBA Draft? Was WWE's release and re-signing of R-Truth aka Ron Killings a work or a shoot? Who the hell knows, but we'll try to answer those questions as best as we can as we head into the slow portion of the sports calendar.

Uncle Vic speaks, and it sounds like the Philadelphia Eagles will have a few position battles on the defensive side once training camp rolls around. After we take a trip to Steakquon's, we celebrate Adam Silver for fixing All-Star Weekend, and we give our picks for WWE's Money In The Bank

Chris Stevens of HBCU Sports joins us to give us some insight on Around the Horn as the show ends its impactful 23-year-run. Later in the show, the crew discusses the narrative around the WNBA and predicts how good DeSean Jackson and Michael Vick can be as head coaches on the collegiate level.

The haters will have to keep hating as the Tush Push lives on: The Green Bay Packers' ill-fated proposal to ban the Philadelphia Eagles' signature play didn't have enough votes to be passed at this week's owners' meetings. And while Jeffrey Lurie enjoys his victory lap, Nick Sirianni was also rewarded this week for his successful run with the Birds. However, we start off the show by debating the g...

The 2025 NFL schedule was released and, no matter how you slice it, the Birds definitely have their work cut out for them this season. Vegas has the over/under for Eagles wins at 11.5 - do you think that's a good bet? And who are the Birds' biggest obstacles in the NFC? We'll debate those two questions and more before diving into the NFL's blatant overreach when it comes to the NBA and Christmas D...

Dallas Goedert agreed this week to the Sweaty J discount program to return for one last ride with the Philadelphia Eagles. Given that the Eagles' offense is basically the same as last season, can we expect the Birds to make another deep postseason run? Also, we spend a few moments trying to figure out why James Harden is so bad in closeout games.

Saquon Barkley played golf with the President of the United States, and Philly Sports Twitter has never been more divided. Of course, that occurred on the eve of the Philadelphia Eagles' trip to the White House - a visit that many decided to pass on. More importantly... the Birds added 10 players in this past weekend's draft - we'll hand out the way-too-early grade on the various classes.

Did Dwayne Johnson ruin Wrestlemania? Some say yes, but how is that the case when he didn't even show up? We debate the question that is splitting the Internet Wrestling Community, but before we do that, we get you caught up on the latest NFL pre-draft noise.

The Road to Wrestlemania is finished, and while the build has been less than ideal, we're still hoping for an amazing show this weekend in Vegas. Speaking of amazing shows, that's exactly what we got in Augusta, Georgia last Sunday for the Masters. Huge shout out to Rory McIlroy for completing the career Grand Slam and joining one of the most exclusive clubs in sports.

Since everyone loves a mock draft, we review the Eagles' projected selections from the king of the NFL Draft himself, Mel Kiper, Jr. With the Sixers playing out the string, we spend an inordinate amount of time talking about golf and how difficult it is for guys not named Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.

The haters are mad, but the Tush Push lives on... for now. The NFL tables any official voting on the Packers' proposal, but it feels like the Philadelphia Eagles' cheat code play will soon be a thing of the past. Later in the show, we discuss the Birds' lukewarm embrace of Dallas Goedert, and wonder if you can officially put a bow on the current era of the Sixers with the news of Joel Embiid's sur...

Rest in peace to former heavyweight champion George Foreman, who was bigger than life both inside and outside of the ring. Many times, it felt like Foreman winning a boxing match was inevitable, so we ask the same question about the Los Angeles Dodgers as they kick off the 2025 MLB season. We also run through some of the top-30 visits for the Philadelphia Eagles to try to figure out their draft st...

On this episode, we show love to all-time Eagles legend Brandon Graham who is finally calling it a career after his second Super Bowl title. We also throw shade at the Green Bay Packers who want to ban the Tush Push, and we finally get the fire that we're waiting for from John Cena and Cody Rhodes.

The Philadelphia Eagles sign a few players... and lose quite a bit more. With the talent drain being real in Philly, will the Eagles have enough for another Super Bowl run? We discuss that, the possible end of Tiger Woods' "regular" PGA career, and we also take an early look at the Wrestlemania 41 card.

The wrestling world is still reeling from what could be the greatest heel turn ever as John Cena aligns with the Final Boss, Dwayne Johnson. But... before we talk about that, we review the latest moves by the Philadelphia Eagles to free up some cap space, and roll through a few mock draft predictions.

Now that we've all survived the parade, what comes next for the Philadelphia Eagles? Well... they've solved the issue with the offensive coordinator, elevating Kevin Patullo to the coveted spot. But will he have the same weapons heading into 2025? 

Super Bowl Champions... The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX, and the outcome was barely in doubt. We debate where this team ranks among Birds' teams all time, and discuss the resumes of both Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni. The time for criticism will come later... for now, let's just bask in the glow of a championship.

It's time for the Philadelphia Eagles to take their cues from the Cody Rhodes / Roman Reigns saga and finally Finish Their Story against the Kansas City Chiefs. Super Bowl LIX will contribute a lot to the legacies of both Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes... soon, we'll find out who comes out on top.

The magical run for the 2024 Philadelphia Eagles continues as they roll the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game, earning a trip to New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX. A matchup against their archnemesis Kansas City awaits... is this the year where the Eagles finally finish their story?

We kick off this week's show by discussing the utter mess that is NBA All-Star Saturday Night. And then we move on to more important matters: Figuring out how in the heck the Eagles can win a football game with a subpar passing attack. And before we sign off, we debate the merits of the 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame class.
