The Vet Alumni Podcast w/ Tek & Prem

Tek & Prem welcome John Stolnis of WHYY, The Good Phight & Bleeding Green, and Jason Martinez of Fox 29 Philly on the VetLine to talk the Phils record start & Eagles expectations. After being founded in 1883, this city has never seen a Phillies team more efficient through 51 games of a season. There is always a player who picks up the slack and gets it done, and they are nearly unbeatable in May....

Tek & Prem welcome Eytan Shander on the #VetLine to talk the Phils red-hot start and the Eagles 2024 schedule release. The Phillies have started 31-14, the 2nd-best start in franchise history. Winning at a torrid pace, the pitching has truly led the way and the hitting has been plentiful and timely. As we head into summer, the question will be health and if any deadline moves are made to bolster t...

Tek & Prem welcome Chris Franklin of NJ dot Com on the #VetLine to talk Eagles offseason moves and NFL Draft picks. The new coordinators have addressed the media and the excitement level for effective change on both sides of the ball is potent. Howie again demonstrated his prowess during the Draft, moving, shaking, and getting value players from top to bottom. Jalen Hurts has the pieces around him...

Tek & Prem welcome Breland Moore of Fox 29 Philly on the VetLine to talk NFL Draft. The Eagles nail it with two top-flight defensive backs, Quinyon Mitchell & Cooper DeJean, while also adding a high-upside pass rusher, Jalyx Hunt. The defense is bolstered and the offense adds a highly-ranked running back from Clemson, Will Shipley. Compared to previous drafts especially, the fanbase should be thri...

Tek & Prem welcome Gary Sheffield Jr. on the VetLine to talk Phillies, Yankees, season expectations, rule changes, and MLB stories. The Phillies have heated up and get set for a weekend home series against the lowly White Sox. A sweep is expected and the offense should continue to get right. The pitching has been second to none. The Sixers prepare for their first round Playoff Series versus the Kn...

Tek & Prem welcome Luke Arcaini of Fox PHL Gambler on the VetLine to talk Phils. After a slow start they look to rebound in DC with Nola taking the ball. The hitting has been spotty and the bullpen has staggered out the gates. Bryce Harper has already provided the fans with a show, but sandwiched between 2 losses to Cincy. The Eagles gear up for the draft and have more work to do. The defense's po...

Tek & Prem welcome Tim Kelly of Phillies Nation on the VetLine, as we are just 6 days away from the Phillies season opener at home against Atlanta on March 28. There are some unanswered questions regarding final roster cuts and adjustments, and we will have clarity soon on who will play centerfield. Johan Rojas is an intriguing situation for a few reasons, we discuss. Can this Phils team phinally...

Tek & Prem react to the whirlwind start of free agency as the Eagles front office performs superbly, signing Saquon Barkley, Bryce Huff, CJ Gardner-Johnson, Devin White, and more. Howie Roseman is more like RALLY ROSEMAN, and the roster is already primed for a better performance than 2023's devastating end. The playmakers are here and the Draft is yet to come, as there is a plethora of options for...

Tek & Prem look ahead to NFL Free Agency and evaluate the players available at positions of need for the Birds. There are multiple defenders they should be targeting to set Fangio up for success in Year One as Birds DC. The secondary should have a rather new look at the Safety spot as well as the slot, and possibly more. What will Howie do? There will be a new look and a new energy for this footba...

Tek & Prem welcome James Santore, the Chief Marketing Officer for our media partner Rithmm [THE place for AI-backed props & picks] on the VetLine to talk NBA, NFL, and some interesting futures rankings. Can the Phillies properly navigate Bryce's request for an extension? The conversation has been an active one this week and Spring Training is under way. There are valid cases for each decision, to...

Tek & Prem welcome Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia on the VetLine to talk Sixers. They head into the break with much uncertainty about the future of star Joel Embiid, but showed signs of team chemistry down the stretch. The new faces are getting acclimated and the team has a nice array of talent. The question remains if they will remain in the non-play-in-game Playoff talk or not. The Phils...

Tek & Prem discuss the Sixers interesting yet questionable trade deadline moves. While Morey has options he also has more questions as this team heads into the thick of the schedule with no Joel Embiid on the floor. We'll see what chemistry Maxey has with Hield, but the team has quickly done a 180 from previous expectations. The Eagles have some new faces on the coaching staff. Moore and Fangio wi...

Tek & Prem welcome Francisco Rojas of 94WIP on the VetLine to talk Eagles, Sixers, and even some Phils as we prepare for Spring Training. The final presser that closed the book on the 2023 Eagles was interesting, to say the least. Nick Sirianni seems to have been stripped of primary offensive duties and the question remains, what will the coaching staff actually look like come Training Camp? Vic F...

Tek & Prem welcome Andrew Salciunas of 97.5 The Fanatic Middays on the VetLine to talk Eagles Playoffs & Sixers. Can the Birds simply 'turn it on' in Tampa Bay, a team they have faced in the postseason more than any in franchise history? The Bucs have taken 3 of the previous 5 postseason clashes and Monday Night will be a battle. Despite success there in September, this Eagles team feels far remov...

Tek & Prem welcome Ray Dunne from the 97.5 The Fanatic Midday Show on the VetLine to talk Birds and Sixers. Will the Eagles find some consistency as they wrap up their regular season schedule at MetLife? That turf is a liability as well, and the question about starters or backups rages on. It has been tumultuous & stressful for them for over a month as a team. Playoff bound, but likely on the road...

Tek & Prem discuss the Eagles 3-game slide & look ahead to the final few weeks of the season. Drastic improvement is needed on both sides of the ball if they expect to challenge for another NFC Championship. The Giants come to town on Christmas Day with nothing to lose but a higher draft position. Division games are rarely a cakewalk regardless. Will Jalen round into postseason form in time for a...

Tek & Prem discuss the Eagles upcoming critical matchup in Seattle on Monday Night Football. Can they finish strong & is this team still what we thought they were? Can the turnovers be reduced and will they start scoring faster? These are burning fan questions. Seattle presents them with an opportunity to get on track as they head into the final month of football, and prepare to face a couple of t...

Tek & Prem welcome Bob Cooney of 97.5 The Fanatic on the VetLine to talk Birds, Sixers, and Phils offseason. The Cowboys have won 14 straight at home as the Eagles prepare for a Sunday Night matchup which could decide the NFC East and the 1 seed ultimately. With their passing defense in a state of disarray, the question remains if Sean Desai can scheme up an approach that will slow down Dak enough...

Tek & Prem welcome Conor Myles of Eagles Unfiltered back on the VetLine to talk Birds. A rare in-season Super Bowl rematch on Monday Night in KC awaits.

For the Eagles defense, much work has to be done in order for t...

Tek & Prem welcome Eytan Shander of Fox 29 and The Philly Voice on the VetLine to talk Birds and Sixers. The Eagles head into the bye week at 8-1 with the tougher part of the schedule approaching. The number one seed could again run through the Linc. Jalen Hurts continues to shine, with a tremendous improvement with his accuracy, and AJ Brown is a monster with the ball in his hands. A bye week arr...

Tek & Prem welcome Jon Marks of 94WIP on the VetLine to talk Birds & Sixers. The Eagles are 7-1 with Dallas coming into town for a mammoth showdown at the Linc. The defensive secondary is the true key for the Eagles to record their 8th win of 2023. Jalen Hurts continues to heat up, winning NFC Offensive Player Of The Week honors, to complement AJ Brown's NFC Player Of The Month Award. The schedule...

Tek & Prem welcome Tom Kelly of Sportsradio 94WIP back onto the #VetLine to discuss the Phillies historic collapse, the Birds coming run, and the Sixers firing the engines back up for the '23-'24 campaign. An epic failure by Phillies management and players, as they all share in the blame for ruining the most golden opportunity to win a World Series in this team's 141-year history. The bats disappe...

Tek & Prem welcome Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer to talk Red October as the Phils gear up for Game 3 in the desert TODAY. Up 2-0 and on a record-setting pace, the Phils are on a misson to win it all. The power numbers rival and eclipse the 1927 Yankees. The bullpen has been near perfect and the starters just as good, or better. The power is coming in bunches and these guys are having a b...

Tek & Prem look ahead to the NLCS as the Phillies prepare to host the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 1 on Monday night at the BANK. Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos powered the Phillies past the Atlanta Braves for the 2nd straight season in the NLDS. Castellanos sets a mark never seen before in Major League Ball. Aaron Nola performs like an ace. Ranger Suarez was almost unhittable. The bullpen was...

Tek & Prem welcome Sports Anchor/Host Breland Moore of Fox 29 Philly on the VetLine to talk Phils Playoffs and Birds Week 5 vs LA. The Phillies advance to Atlanta to face the Braves in Round 2. Can they summon 2022 magic and win the series? The pitching will have to be near perfect but they can in fact repeat their performance of 2022. The momentum and the experience is there. The Birds fly to the...
