The Broad Street Line

Admittedly, you can't take much out of preseason games, but we'll still analyze this past week's Eagles/Browns game way more than we should. On this episode, we'll also get you ready for your fantasy football drafts, giving you the inside scoop on the sleepers you should target and the busts you'd do well to avoid.

O.J. Spivey of The Philadelphia Tribune joins the show to give us a behind-the-scenes look at Eagles' training camp, and explains why we should be excited about this year's draft class. We also predict if and when we'll see Ben Simmons suit up in Philadelphia, and break down the pros and cons of the Sixers' proposed downtown arena.

Are the Philadelphia 76ers truly in the running for Kevin Durant's services, or is it just a pipe dream? Speaking of things that may not be real, what are we to make of the Phillies' recent success? We try to answer both of those questions, and we also rip off the Band-Aid and uncover the ugly truth about Pete Rose.

We start the show off by paying our respects to two of the actual GOATs of their respective professions - Vin Scully and Bill Russell. Later in the show, we discuss the latest news in the NFL, and celebrate the return of Wrestlemania to Philadelphia.

A new, privately-funded downtown arena for the Philadelphia 76ers checks just about every box possible, but what will it mean for the businesses and residents in the area? We discuss that, the on-court news around James Harden's new deal, and we take a super early look at the SummerSlam 2022 card.

As we continue to wait on a Harden deal, the 24/7/365 NFL dominates the headlines yet again with news surrounding Deshaun Watson and Baker Mayfield's trade to Carolina. More bombshells continue to fall on the Vince McMahon front... have we finally reached the tipping point?

If you weren't at Michael Rubin's 4th of July White Party, do you even play basketball? Sixers new and old were in attendance, and it looks like the Embiid/Harden bromance is developing by the day. In other news, we pray the Phillies can stay afloat with Bryce Harper on the shelf, and we'll tell you why an AEW/WWE joint show is almost impossible.

True "scary hours" are coming for Nets' fans as everyone wants out of Brooklyn. But while the world waits on Durant's decision, the Sixers' move closer to a Harden deal, and may look to pair him with one of his former running mates, P.J. Tucker.

A possible two-year deal for James Harden sounds like music to Sixers' fans ears... it sounds like we're just waiting for pen to hit paper at this point. In other news, more golfers are heading to the LIV Tour, Deshaun Watson settles nearly two dozen lawsuits related to sexual misconduct, and Vince McMahon steps down as CEO/Chairman of WWE.

The Philadelphia 76ers have engaged in talks on a probable extension with James Harden, and new of the 2026 World Cup coming to the city has fans excited. In other news, a potentially devastating report comes down about WWE's Vince McMahon, and one of the company's biggest stars may be officially out the door.

We catch up with author/podcaster Chris Stevens to get his thoughts on the sports stories of the week, including more allegations against DeShaun Watson. Also, we debate what the Sixers need to do in order to catch the Warriors and Celtics in the NBA hierarchy, and we take the temperature of professional wrestling as both WWE and AEW are mired in drama.

Is it a work? Is it a shoot? No one knows, but MJF's promo on the most recent edition of AEW Dynamite sent shockwaves through the wrestling world. The Broad Street Line crew gives their thoughts on that, but not before they give a blow-by-blow account on the fantasy football beef between Joc Pederson and Tommy Pham

Philadelphia's current favorite son - Joel Embiid - finishes second in MVP voting for the second straight year. Philly's former favorite son - Nick Foles - almost re-joined the Eagles this offseason. On this episode, we talk about both icons, and take a look at The Rock's Google calendar to see what he's up to in the early part of 2023.

Now that the Philadelphia 76ers can officially make plans for Cancun, The Broad Street Line crew debates what Daryl Morey and Co. needs to do in order to crack the elite tier in the Eastern Conference. Later in the show, we discuss Sasha and Naomi walking out on WWE, and what it means for them (and other talent) going forward.

It's a schedule release party, and everyone's invited! On this episode, we'll break down what we know of the Eagles 2022 schedule, debate what happens next to the Sixers, and give flowers to the literal GOAT of Philadelphia sports journalism, Ray Didinger.

Fellow Temple alum and host of The Farzy Show Marc Farzetta joins The Broad Street Line to give us his thoughts on a wild NFL Draft weekend for the Philadelphia Eagles. Of course, it can't always be sunny in the City of Brotherly Love, so also we take a few moments to discuss what Joel Embiid's latest injury means for the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Philadelphia 76ers have made the conference semifinals again, but do they have enough juice to knock off the Miami Heat? We'll debate that, run down the latest with Ben Simmons, and make our NFL draft predictions in an episode that we taped just before the 2022 NFL Draft.

Gayle Saunders of 4th and Jawn joins the crew to preview the upcoming NFL Draft and explains what we should expect from Howie Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles. We also recap the Birds' offseason and debate whether they've put enough around Jalen Hurts.

It's the Sixers and the Raptors squaring off in the postseason once again, except this time, Doc Rivers' squad will be a man short on the road as Matisse Thybulle is ineligible to play in Toronto due to his vaccination status. Later in the show, we run down the list of the Eagles' pre-draft visits, and give props to Tiger Woods for an amazing performance this past weekend.

The Eagles and Saints pull off a massive pre-draft trade which gives the Birds a ton of draft capital in future seasons. We'll grade Howie's latest move, and we'll also recap a wild two-night Wrestlemania 38 which saw the return of The American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes.

TV writer / producer / wrestling expert / Friend of the Show Andrew Goldstein joins us once again to help us preview Wrestlemania 38. Being that Goldstein is a man of many talents, we also take a few minutes to talk Danny Green, the NFL Draft, and the best burger joints in NYC.

Do we want the Philadelphia Eagles to sign every available talented free agent? Sure. But we understand - and explain - why they can't and don't. We also debate who's in a better spot between Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa, and reassess the NBA playoff scene now that vaccine mandates have been lifted in New York City.

We start today's episode by paying our respects to the legendary Scott Hall AKA Razor Ramon. After we say goodbye to the Bad Guy, we say hello to Haason Reddick, who signed with his hometown Philadelphia Eagles earlier this week. And of course, we give our takes on the 40-day, 40-night retirement of one Tom F. Brady.

Guess who's coming to Philly... but not playing? We'll preview Ben Simmons' return to the City of Brotherly Love, wonder why Calvin Ridley was willing to throw away millions of dollars for a few parlays, and react to the bombshell that was Russell Wilson's move to Denver.

If what we've seen so far from the Sixers' duo of James Harden and Joel Embiid is what we can expect going forward, it's going to be scary hours for the rest of the NBA. We also discuss the end of the brief Carson Wentz Era in Indy, and reveal Tony Khan's latest big announcement.
