The Farzy Show with Marc Farzetta

Howie does it again. This offseason has been punctuated the new additions, but especially the makeover on defense, as he adds James Bradberry in free agency to pair with Darius Slay. There hasn't been a move we haven't agreed with so far. We've seen this method go south before, but there's no reason to think these moves won't pay off for the Philadelphia Eagles. The Phillies retutned the favor in...

The Phillies kill the good vibes they built up on the left coast by coming home and letting their bats fall silent. They played excellent defense on their road trip, and just when they can't, they let everything go to hell in front of their home crowd with awful defense, and silent bats. Hopefully this team comes alive before the Braves come to town. If you offer the opportunity for others to tell...

The Phillies return home for a 3 game stand against the Padres after their stellar west coast trip. We had to talk to Evan Macy of  @PhillyVoice.com  because if the Phillies bats stay this hot, we might HAVE to talk about the Phils as being contenders! The 76ers are in need of a big move (and some other smaller ones) this offseason to improve their chances of finally making it out of the 2nd round...

What a way to start the road trip for the Phillies. They go out west, and take series form both the Mariners and Dodgers, taking 3 of 4 from LA. When we went through the absolute gauntlet of a schedule, not many people saw them starting out this way. Bryce Harper has only continued his bid for a back to back NL MVP award as he is on an absolute torrid pace while he and Kyle Schwarber are tied for...

Another year, another second round exit, and TONS of questions left unanswered. Joel Embiid brought the energy, and the rest of the team completely let him down. James Harden scored 2 0 points on 2 shots in the second half. Jimmy Butler officially put out the obituary for The Process, and it's probably a good thing to finally be able to move on. The Phillies were playing a great game, let it get c...

It all comes down to this...ANOTHER Elimination Game 6. These are getting annoying. The 76ers and Heat return to South Broad Street and the Wells Fargo Center to decide whether or not a Game 7 on Sunday in South Beach is necessary. Either way, Kevin Negandhi from Temple University and ESPN will join the show tomorrow to break down Game 6. The Phillies and Rhys Hoskins rally for their first series...

That was a big ole no show form the 76ers in a Game 5 in Miami. Somehow a Joel Embiid at ~70% was the only one who got off the plane down to South Beach. Game 6 in Philadelphia tomorrow night is now win or go home for your Sixers, and all hopes rely on Doc Rivers to get his team up, and ready for the challenge when they return to the Wells Fargo Center. The Phillies fell victim to some unfortunate...

The NBA HATES Joel Embiid and 76ers. They've proven it again, along with the writers who shill for a league who hate an organization who do it a different way. Embiid was snubbed for an MVP award, and all we can do is hope that it lights a fire and he goes NUCLEAR down in south beach because of this chip that has been placed on his shoulder. We had to talk to the man of many faces, from  @Liberty...

The 76ers even the series, and send it back to South Beach knotted at 2-2. Joel Embiid and James Harden put the team on their backs as Harden pours in 16 pts in the 4th quarter and 31 overall. Embiid was in MVP form, and looks like the mask is just adding to the story that has been this year. To add to the drama that has been this series with the Heat, Tobias Harris took an elbow to the throat and...

Joe Girardi's Days are numbered here in Philadelphia. That seems to be going around with managers/coaches down on South Broad Street. The Phillies utterly collapse as they blow a 7 run lead late in the game to the rival Mets. Worst case scenario. Shifting to another team with a lame DUCK head coach... Joel Embiid is still listed as OUT for Game 3, but there's a lot that could change before game ti...

The Phillies look absolutely listless against an improved... but still bad Rangers team. We were promised an offense that would cover up a lot of warts, but this offense seems to be the biggest blemish on the team as the starting pitching has been anything but bad to start the season. Not only is Joe Girardi on the hot seat, but these players must prove this isn't a failed experiment already. The...

The 76ers will attempt to steal a game in Miami when Game 2 kicks off tonight. Like it or not, DeAndre Jordan is still going to be the starting center for the Sixers while Joel Embiid is out with his orbital fracture. It seems the Philly faithful aren't the only ones questions Doc Rivers lately as JJ Reddick had some choice words for the Sixers head coach. The Phillies were absolutely flat when th...

Doc had us in the first half, we're not gonna lie. It seems Doc Rivers reverted back to his old self against the Miami Heat, and he's going to stay that way "where we like it or not." Paul Reed outperformed Deandre Jorden, but apparently "our guys" wanted DJ to play. Apparently we don't know what a head coach is anymore, because a good HC would have done what's best for the team no matter what "ou...

Well Howie and Co. certainly did their thing this past week while the clock was ticking during the NFL Draft. The Eagles managed to follow their philosophy of building through the trenches, and still find value at positions of need with studs who fell down the draft. Embiid will not travel with 76ers to Miami for games 1 and 2, but he MAY be available for games 3 and 4, so hope springs eternal! Th...

What a DAY?! It was the perfect Philadelphia sports day! In chronological order. The Phillies completed the sweep of the Colorado Rockies to get back to .500 heading into a divisional series against the Mets. Harper and Castellanos stayed hot, Zack Wheeler looked like his old self, and Alec Bohm is looking like the teams MVP so far. The Sixers went back to Toronto, and ended the series with their...

It's DRAFT DAY! We talk to Zach German of  @The Athletic  about everything you could possibly want regarding the #Eagles and their draft plans! As it currently stands, the Birds have picks 15 and 18 so we'll see what Howie and Co. can do to bolster this roster. It's Game 6 tonight people. At the same time as the Draft... because of course it is. Doc Rivers played a little defense yesterday when as...

We're joined by C.J. Perez, Temple University Offensive Lineman who is preparing for tomorrow's #NFLDraft. C.J. gives us the perspective of someone getting ready to participate in the Draft, and we have Geoff Mosher of @Inside The Birds to break down what your Philadelphia Eagles could/might do what then Draft kicks off! The Phillies bats stayed hot last night as thy beat up on the Rockies for a s...

What an absolute clunker from your 76ers at HOME last night. Joel Embiid was somehow very clearly injured, and also the best Sixers on the floor. Those things are not good when they mix. The Sixers are heading back to Toronto to try and end the series during an away game. The Phillies bats woke up yesterday as they beat the Rockies on the start of a home stand. Bryce Harper hit his 3rd homer of th...

Angel Hernandez is a VILLAIN. The only thing consistent about Hernandez's strike zone yesterday was how BAD it was, and KYLE SCHWARBER gave an example of the most well executed ejection possible. He spoke for both teams, didn't drag it out, and said what he needed to say, as the Phillies and Brewers took a back seat to the Angel Hernandez show in what ended up being a loss for your Phillies. The 7...

The Sixers are now up 3-0 against their 1st round opponents, the Toronto Raptors. By no means the cleanest game, but this was exactly how we wanted this team to respond in Scotia Bank Arena. Tobias Harris hit timely baskets, and played amazing defense. Maxey continues to prove he's a star in this league. And Joel. Joel Hans Embiid. The rightful MVP of the NBA put another stamp on his campaign by h...

Phillies drop another game, and pick up their first blown save of the year in a TOUGH loss in COL. Ricky Bottalico gives us the 1st truly great soundbite of the season in what he recommends the Phillies need to do to turn this ship around in this very young season. The Sixers have headed north, and tip off tonight against the Raptors in Game 3. They will be without a key piece, and the chess match...

Joel Embiid leads the Sixers over the Raptors in Game 2 in another fantastic performance before heading to Toronto for Games 3/4. Tyrese Maxey continues to tell the league that he has arrived as a bona fide STAR, and also told the fans he LOVES you! Nick Nurse tried everything he could against the Sixers, including trying to take the low road and bring Joel Embiid with him. The Phillies just can't...

The 76ers came out an did EXACTLY what we wanted to see in Game 1 vs the Raptors. JAMES HARDEN and Joel Embiid had good not great games, and didn't turn the ball over while Tyrese Maxey WENT OFF! 38 points from a young man who should be a finalist for the Most Improved Player award, and a huge performance in Game 1. Now the chess match between Doc Rivers and Nick Nurse starts when the teams reunit...

The Phillies look like the need a centerfielder and a couple other pieces after their loss to the Marlins 3-4 last night. It seems the troubles in Miami will never end. We have @Shelfy to talk all things Phillies and what they can do to turn their losing streak around. The bats still aren't awake, but it's only a matter of time until the new acquisitions get comfortable in a new locker room, and s...

Phillies fall to the Mets in the rubber game, and in turn drop their first divisional series. They are back against the Marlins tonight. Aaron Nola might just be who the nay sayers thought he was, and that doesn't mean great things for the Phillies going forward. The Sixers are preparing for their series against the Toronto Raptors, and more importantly, the matchup between Doc Rivers and Nick Nur...
