The Broad Street Line

Ben Simmons is still "ramping up" in preparation for his return as we await the debut of James Harden. But speaking of basketball, we need to figure out a way to fix the less entertaining aspects of All-Star Weekend.

Ben Simmons and James Harden both spoke to the media this week, but one of them didn't say all that much. The Broad Street Line crew also recaps Super Bowl LVI and speculates about a big move in the wrestling world.

Welcome to Philadelphia, James Harden. The long-anticipated trade finally goes down hours before the deadline... what does this mean for the Sixers and the Nets? And will Ben Simmons play when Brooklyn comes to town on March 10th?

Emmy-winning NBC Sports Philadelphia producer Mike Mulhern (Eagles Pre- and Post-Game Live) joins the show to discuss all things Eagles (Jalen Hurts, Nick Sirianni) as we recap a surprising 2021 season. We also spend some time on a hypothetical Sixers trade, and debate the merits of Doc Rivers.

Author/podcaster Chris Stevens joins us on the show as we put a bow on the most amazing NFL Divisional Round that any of us can remember. And as the Road to Wrestlemania begins to be paved, the three of us make our predictions for tonight's Royal Rumble.

The Philadelphia Eagles unceremoniously lost to the Tampa Bay Bucs in the Wild Card round, officially kicking off what figures to be a busy offseason. On the basketball front, Sixers' president Daryl Morey talks of playing the long game when it comes to a potential Ben Simmons' deal.

The Eagles and Bucs are two of the 14 teams who could win the Lombardi Trophy next month. Can the Birds exact revenge from a loss earlier in the season, or does Tom Brady take his next step towards another ring?

The Philadelphia Eagles have officially punched their ticket to the playoffs, and Jalen Hurts has officially made his case to be QB1 next year. But before we get to that, we rank the potential postseason opponents, and pay our respects to the legendary John Madden.

2021 began with both Carson Wentz and Doug Pederson in Philadelphia. It ended... quite differently. We'll wrap up the past 12 months with the Eagles, Sixers, Phillies and Flyers, and even take a look back and some of the biggest national sports stories as well.

Official "Friend of the Program" Dave Rueter joins the show to discuss his newest book, "A Phillies Odyssey: Exploring the Forgotten Players of Fightins Yesteryear." Dave and the crew also dive into the current state of Philly sports, including the cloud of uncertainty surrounding the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Philadelphia Eagles did what they were supposed to do against the New York Jets, even without Jalen Hurts. The Philadelphia 76ers did what they were supposed to do, closing out their road trip with three straight wins. Will Daryl Morey do what he's supposed to do and finally trade Ben Simmons?

The Philadelphia Eagles' loss to the New York Giants could haunt fans - and Jalen Reagor - for months to come. Also, we discuss whether or not Doc Rivers is the problem with the Sixers... in addition to the issues they have with a flawed roster.

Are the Philadelphia Eagles for real? It's hard to say, but two straight wins have fans feeling pretty good these days. Also, the Sixers finally figure things out with Joel Embiid on the shelf... is Tyrese Maxey playing his way into the league's Most Improved Player Award?

According to Rich Paul, the Philadelphia 76ers are making things worse with Ben Simmons. But as the Sixers try to sort things out with their point guard, the Philadelphia Eagles take their first step in righting the ship after a 2-5 start.

It's report card time! We're just past the halfway point of the NFL season, so it's time to hand out some grades to the Philadelphia Eagles. We also spend some time explaining the MCU, and give flowers to the anchor GOAT Jim Gardner, who recently announced his impending retirement.

Are the Philadelphia Eagles good? No, but they smoked a bad Detroit Lions team as they should have. Even so, Kris and Roy aren't all that moved by the performance.

While Ben Simmons is dealing with his mental issues, the Philadelphia 76ers are dealing with lack of playmaker issues. Not having a legit PG on the roster is a problem... but not as big as the problems that Nick Sirianni and the Eagles are currently dealing with.

The Era of Good Vibes is over: Ben Simmons gets kicked out of practice less than a week after his return. Philadelphia 76ers' GM Daryl Morey is committed to seeing this through to the bloody end, and both sides are holding serve. Meanwhile, the whispers have begun surrounding the future of Jalen Hurts.

Ben Simmons attempted to come to work earlier this week like nothing happened... we'll break down the not-so-bizarre behavior of a man unwilling to miss a paycheck. We also review the emails that got Jon Gruden out the paint and debate whether there's more to the story.

Getting caught up at a restaurant named after you is a bad scene, but that's exactly what happened to Urban Meyer, so you know we had to talk about it. We also debate what we should worry about most with the Philadelphia Eagles, and look at the landscape of the WWE after the draft.

After giving up a 40-burger to the Dallas Cowboys, and with the Kansas City Chiefs on the horizon, where is the light at the end of the tunnel for the Philadelphia Eagles? Speaking of the end, after the latest details regarding the Ben Simmons drama were unveiled this week, the Philadelphia 76ers are (hopefully) closing in on the last days of the saga.

Fresh off an ugly Philadelphia Eagles home opener, the Philadelphia 76ers beef with their starting point guard gets even uglier after Doc Rivers goes on TV and tells a bunch of half-truths about the situation. In positive news, Bryan Danielson and Kenny Omega put on a banger in AEW... does the WWE finally have competition?

Nick Sirianni coached as well as you can in a season opener, but was the Philadelphia Eagles win over the Atlanta Falcons fools' gold, or something they can build on? On this edition of The Broad Street Line, Kris and Roy answer that question, and run through the latest Ben Simmons' news.

Author/podcaster Chris Stevens joins us again as we preview the 2021 NFL season, answering the burning questions about Nick Sirianni, Jalen Hurts and the other 31 teams in the league. We also spend a few minutes fantasy booking out to Wrestlemania...

Author, podcaster, and unofficial third member of the show Chris Stevens (@CJWritesNThangs) joins us as we dive into all of the spicy Ben Simmons' takes. With Joel Embiid pushing back at Sixers' fans, we ask ourselves... are we to blame?
