Deshaun Watson is back in the headlines this week as Judge Sue L Robinson passed down a 6 game suspension. In response, the NFL has exercised their option to appeal the decison. Now the NFL and the NFLPA are gearing up for a legal battle. Will Watson be able to start the season? Will he have to sit out longer? Or will the original ruling stand? The NFL has set a precedent of “light” penalties in the past, most recently with the suspension of Dolphins owner Stephen Ross after it was revealed that Ross and his Vice Chairman Bruce Beal violated the anti-tampering policy 3 separate times from 2019-2022 in conversations with New England Patriots and Tampa BayBuccaneers Quarterback Tom Brady and former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton

NFL Training Camps are underway and the Philadelphia Eagles have begun practices as they prepare for the 2022 NFL Season. The BOAF crew will dive into a plethora of topics, starting with training camp itself. Is it meaningless when you look at the grand scope of things? Or is there substantial importance to it?

The Philadelphia Eagles have reported to Training Camp.. Jalen Hurts is in the spotlight as both the media andthe fans all speculate what Hurts involvement in pre season games will be, as well as how he will perform during the regular NFL regular season. We start tonight wondering if Hurts will play 2 quarters or will he get more time on the field? How do we feel if he spends more than the 1st half on the field? Will it be an accurate glimpse into the performance we can expect as the season kicks off? The Media specifically had a field day following the Eagles' first practice yesterday taking every move made as the best thing to ever happen to football. A basic pass and catch turns into “Boy does that player look great” Fans have followed suit and have taken to social media to voice their opinions on this current group of rookies and even our veteran players. Is it too early to tell who will stand out amongst this group? We look to sift through the debris and focus on key positions and players that we think are going to turn the tide for this football team. Only game film will separate the wheat from the chaff. Nothing of substance will be revealed untilthe Eagles travel to Miami to face off with the Dolphins Camp

The Philadelphia Phillies have been sitting in 3rd place of the NL East for what feels like the entire season, and haverecently slipped out of the NL Wild Card spot for the MLB Playoffs. Do the Phillies have a chance at seeing some Postseason action? They are currently half a game behind the St. Louis Cardinals who got destroyed last night by theToronto Blue Jays. Tonight we will go over what would have to happen over the next few months in order for the Phillies to get back into the Playoff picture and secure a spot playing postseason MLB baseball. The Phillies have found themselves at the beginning of a losing streak following the dismal performance against the Chicago Cubs which resulted in Chicago sweeping the 3 game series. Then last night Kyle Schwarber, Nick Castellanos and company failed to secure the win over the Atlanta Braves losing 6-3. The Philles got their revenge on the defending World Series Champions earlier today with a 7-2 victory thanks to Alec Bohm, Odubel Herrera, Kyle Schwarber and J.T Realmuto setting the Phillies up for an early lead that the Braves were unable to overcome.

The MLB trade deadline is fast approaching as the league's top contenders try to find missing pieces to their championship aspirations while the league's bottom-dwellers look to sell their proven players for treasured assets. The guys will be discussing the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees in particular as the deadline inches closer and closer. As the Philadelphia Phillies play the Atlanta Braves tonight at home, the guys will discuss their disappointing series sweep, as they fell to the dreadful Chicago Cubs 3 games in a row. Will the Phillies be able to turn it around? Will they finally end a 10 year playoff drought? Only time will tell. With NFL training camps quickly approaching this week, the guys will be taking a first hand look at the NFC East teams and what the rosters are looking like for each squad. Are the Philadelphia Eagles set up to take down the New York Giants, Washington Commanders, and the Dallas Cowboys?

Are the Philadelphia 76ers currently a top 3 team in the Eastern Conference? Is a Sixers roster featuring Joel Embiid, James Harden, Tyrese Maxey, Tobias Harris, PJ Tucker, DeAnthony Melton, Danuel House, Matisse Thybulle, George Niang good enough to go on a serious playoff run in 2022/23? What are your expectations for James Harden? Will he have a “bounce back” season after signing his new deal with the Philadelphia 76ers?

Vince McMahon shocked the wrestling world yesterday when he announced his retirement from the WWE. Amidst all the allegations and scandal surrounding the former chairman and CEO, it is very hard to ignore the last 40 years of entertainment that he has provided us. From the Golden Age, to the Attitude Era, Ruthless Aggression and the PG Era, Vince McMahon led the ship through good times and bad. Tonight we take a look back on some of his biggest success stories and some of his biggest failures. We will also take a look towards the future now that Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan are sharing the CEO duties and Triple H has taken over as EVP of Talent Relations. Where will the WWE go from here? How drastic are the changes going to be? Will we see those changes come as early as SummerSlam? Speaking of SummerSlam, tonight we preview the biggest party of the summer. Will Brock Lesnar dethrone Roman Reigns and take back the WWE Universal Heavyweight Championship? Can the Street Profits finally capture the RAW and Smackdown Tag Team titles from The Usos? Will Jeff Jarrett be the deciding factor? What will happen to Happy Corbin once Pat McAfee gets his hands on him? Can Liv Morgan retain her Smackdown Women's Championship against Ronda Rousey? Then to end the show, our favorite Run-In segment, where we talk about anything and everything that is on our minds. Join in the conversation tonight on In This Very Ring!

To kick off this week's BOAF show, the crew will discuss the rumors of the Philadelphia Eagles' potential interest in trading for Cincinnati Bengals safety Jessie Bates. Assuming it doesn't require giving up a 1st round pick, should the Eagles trade for Bates? Is he the missing piece the team needs to go from being a contender for the division to being a contender for the Super Bowl? Are you ok with having to pay Bates a big contract?In the 2nd half of the show, the guys will go outside the box a bit and hold a fictional football character draft! Each ofthem will take turns selecting a QB, RB, WR, Defensive Player, and Head Coach from any movie or TV show. The only stipulation is that the character must be fictional. Once the draft is over, let us know which team is your favoriteand if there are other characters who went undrafted that should have been taken.Finally, to finish off the show, the guys go “No Huddle” and pull out all the stops as they discuss several quick and rapid topics from the world of sports and beyond!

Barry Vagnoni is my guest as he gives us a tour of his Eagles Locker Room! A restaurant-sized man cave that would give Chickie and Pete's a run for its money. Barry is a lifelong Eagles fan that has manifested his passion for the Birds into a brick-and-mortar love letter to those that bleed green! Meanwhile there has been a huge shakeup with the Eagles pre-game show. With the retirement of Ray Diddinger and the announcement of Seth Joyner stepping away, the news of a new Jakib Media pre game show has dropped. The new lineup will be Derrick Gunn, Devan Kay and the 2 big guns Seth Joyner and Mike Missanelli! It will be interesting to see how Missanelli and Seth Joyner agree to disagree as they can both be a bit long winded and Missanelli can be a bit of a “know it all”. Missanelli has certainly earned that right with over 20+ years on the mic but that doesn't mean he knows more than Seth who was actually on the field as an All Pro and Super Bowl champion. It should be interesting to see how these two bounce off each other. If anyone watched the debacle that was the 110m finals with Devon Allen you had to be shaking your head. There were already previous questionable false starts but this one was arguably the worst. You kicked the hometown kid out of the finals when he was the projected favorite?! He didn't even jump the gun! The computer calculated that he couldn't have reacted that fast AFTER THE GUN! That was a travesty and the shameful part is that they will probably change the rule after it has done its damage.

The Philadelphia Phillies, fresh off the All Star Break and sweeping the Miami Marlins, get a few more days off before they kick off the second half of the season with a 3 game series against the Chicago Cubs. Only 8.5 games behind the New York Mets can the Phillies still make a push and become the top dog in the NL East? Given that the very next series for the Phillies is against the Atlanta Braves, some would say that there is a very good chance the Phillies can change the landscape of the National League. In order to do that though the Phillies need to improve the roster. Should they start with finding a center fielder or another pitcher? Which position needs more immediate help? What are some names you would like to see the Phillies go after before the trade deadline? Last night the American League took down the National League with a score of 3-2 in the MLB All Star Game. Giancarlo Stanton hit a two run home run in the 4th only to be followed up immediately by Byron Buxton's solo home run putting the American League in the driver seat and the National League could never catch up. Washington National Juan Soto took home the trophy in this year's Home Run Derby during the All Star Break festivities. Soto has also been in the news lately after rejecting the recent offer made by the Nationals to resign with the team once his contract expires. Where will the Home Run Derby Champion find himself? Also coming out of the Home Run Derby, many Philadelphia Phillies fans think that Kyle Schwarber was robbed in his round against St. Louis Cardinals Albert Pujols. The MLB has come out and said they stand by the count, but what do you think? With Eagles training camp 6 days away, the guys will discuss their thoughts on the upcoming season and whether they have a legitimate chance at contending in the NFC. The big topic at hand will be whether Jalen Hurts can continue to grow and progress his arm. If this is the case, the Eagles should be in consideration for top seed in the NFC, something that has not happened since their Super Bowl win in 2017-2018.

Is the Philadelphia 76ers 2022/23 roster the “best team” of the Joel Embiid era? Is the Sixers roster featuring Joel Embiid, James Harden, Tyrese Maxey, Tobias Harris, PJ Tucker, De'Anthony Melton, Danuel House & Mattise Thybulle going enough to push the 76ers further than in recent years.James Harden signs a two-year deal worth $69 million with the Philadelphia 76ers. Harden will make $33M for the 2022/2023 season & has the player option for $35.6M in 2023/2024. He can move right back into free agency & negotiate another new deal next summer.

The Philadelphia sports scene has been an absolute train wreck both recently and historicity but the Philadelphia Flyers seem poised to set a new bar for failure in the upcoming years. A rebuild seems to be well underway and we will break down just how bad it can get for the Flyers in the coming years. We will break down the Flyers off-season and draft and try to figure out what the organization's plan is. We will also take a look at the NHL as a whole. The Philadelphia Phillies finished the first half strong with a sweep of the Marlins in Miami. They currently sit 6 games over 500 and hold a wildcard spot in the NL Playoffs. What does the second half hold for this team? We will also look at the MLB as a whole and check in on the Home Run Derby. The NBA rumors continue to fly. Where will Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Donovan Mitchell end up? We will break down the NBA rumor mill. The NFL is right around the corner. How much stock should we put onto positive/negative reports about Jalen Hurts. We will take an early look at the NFL.

The Philadelphia Phillies enter the MLB All-Star break on a high note as they sweep the Miami Marlins this weekend. The Phillies haven't swept the Marlins, in Miami, since 2010. The Phillies enter the All-Star Break tied with the St Louis Cardinals for the 3rd and final wild card spot, Phillies of course own the tiebreaker over the Cardinals. Will the Phillies make a significant move prior to or at the MLB Trade Deadline? The MLB First-Year Player Draft is Sunday night and the Phillies have the #17 overall pick in the 1st Round.The Phillies have a 12-8 record since Bryce Harper was injured and their pitching staff has a 3.07 era. The Phillies should be major players at the trade deadline. The Phillies will make multiple trades prior to the August 2nd Trade Deadline, do you Agree or Disagree? Join Thomas Arnone, Nick DelGozzo, Brian Wilson, and Greg Milakovic to discuss the plans after the All-Star Break. The Phillies look to add to a lackluster farm system tonight as they will draft with the #17 overall pick in the 1st round of tonight's MLB Draft. The Phillies look to seize the momentum and end their post-season-less streak. Join the discussion!

Is Derrick Gunn's report about Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback Jalen Hurts struggling in OTAs legitimate or misleading? Gunn cited that one of his sources explained how Hurts didn't look good during a session back in May and that the team is “not very comfortable right now” with the starting quarterback. However, newly acquired WR AJ Brown shot down those claims as being false and inaccurate. The BOAF crew will discuss the latest rumbling surrounding Hurts and if this is anything we should take note of, or just take it with a grain of salt. How confident are they in Hurts making the necessary strides as a passer in 2022?In the 2nd half of the show, the guys will transition the conversation and talk about who they believe are the best young quarterbacks in the NFL today. Out of all the quarterbacks who are entering their 3rd season or less, whom would they most want to build their team around? Who will have the biggest upcoming season?Finally, to finish off the show, the guys go “No Huddle” and pull out all the stops as they discuss several quick and rapid topics from the world of sports and beyond!

The Philadelphia Flyers signed off on their issues as they signed the controversial Tony DeAngelo. DeAngelo has a track record of disruption, antagonism, and most importantly outright racism, sexism, and homophobia. This is not what you need when trying to rebuild a team's culture. Very similar to when the Philadelphia Eagles signed Mike Vick, the Flyers will have their hands full keeping the fan base under reasonable levels. The first time DeAngelo says something stupid Philly will be going for the jugular!Media Personality Derrick Gunn set off a firestorm on his sports show when he talked about a source telling him about a particularly bad day for Jalen Hurts during OTAs. Many Eagles fans and current Eagles players had quick responses condemning the comments including AJ Brown. Should the comments have been made? Is someone trying to stir the pot and create their narrative? Bryce Harper did enough in the first half of the season to get voted in the MLB All-Star game despite having a broken thumb. Kyle Schwarber's hot bat got him in the HomeRun Derby. The Philadelphia Phillies have cooled off a bit but are still playing above 500 baseballs. As they prepare for the final series before the All-Star break against the Seattle Mariners, what should we expect from this team moving forward?

2022 NBA Re-Draft. If the entire pool of current NBA players were put into a re-draft, what would the league look like? Where would players like Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, LeBron James & Ja Morant be selected in the draft? We will build our own custom starting fives using the entire pool of current NBA players. Who will be chosen to be the face of their franchise?

Chuck Fletcher, General Manager for the Philadelphia Flyers, has apparently been asleep at the wheel this off-season. Over the last several weeks, there have been multiple opportunities to improve this NHL franchise's roster, and Fletcher and his front office staff have consistently dropped the ball. Johnny Gaudreau, arguably the hottest free agent available right now, wanted to come to Philadelphia. He opted not to resign with the Calgary Flames and wanted to make the city of brotherly love his new home. Fletcher in his infinite wisdom said that they were not in on Gaudreau and that they were done with the Free Agency market. He cited cap space as why they did not attempt to get the Left Wing from New Jersey. Instead, the Philadelphia Flyers re-sign Justine Braun and pick up Nic Deslauriers. Could the Flyers have made it work with Johnny Hockey? Could they have found the space to fit him on the payroll? Recently the Philadelphia Phillies have lost three of their last five games. With 4 players (JT Realmuto, Alec Bohm, Aaron Nola, and Kyle Gibson) not participating in this current series against the Toronto Blue Jays, how will this affect the team's momentum as they get ready for the white-hot Seattle Mariners right before next week's All-Star break? The Toronto Blue Jays, after defeating the Phillies last night 4-3, woke up this morning and fired their current manager Charlie Montoyo and have put John Schneider in as the interim manager for the remainder of the season. How will that affect the team's morale as they are fighting to stay alive in the AL East?

NHL Free Agency is upon us and the question on everyone's mind is will Johnny Gaudreau resign with the Calgary Flames or will he become a Philadelphia Flyer? Tonight, we look into what the future holds for the All Star Left Wing.What happens if the Flyers are unable to secure Gaudreau? Would they possibly look at another Flame in Matthew Tkachuk, who Calgary is also looking to ink to a long-term contract? Or will the Flyers turn their attention towards their Keystone State rivals and steal Evgeni Malkin from the Pittsburgh Penguins? It's become clear, if the Pens are going to bring Malkin back, it will be on their terms, not his. The club prioritized re-signing Kris Letang and got that done by signing the defenseman to a six-year, $36.6 million contract ($6.1 million AAV). Also on the show, we'll predict if Patrice Bergeron will take one last ride with the Boston Bruins or call it a career. Will David Krejci return to both the NHL and Bruins? Also, with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Edmonton Oilers, Washington Capitals and Buffalo Sabres all in the market for a No. 1 goalie, where will UFA netminders Darcy Kuemper (fresh off a Stanley Cup win), Jack Campbell, Braden Holtby, Jaroslav Halak, Thomas Greiss and Martin Jones land? Matt Murray, was on the table but late Monday evening, the Toronto Maple Leafs picked him up along with a 2023 3rd round draft pick & a 7th round pick in 2024 for future considerations. The New York Rangers now need a backup to Vezina-winning goalie Igor Shesterkin after trading Alexandar Georgiev to the Colorado Avalanche. But a more pressing issue will be signing a second-line center with both Ryan Strome and Andrew Copp becoming unrestricted free agents. The Stanley Cup champs have a busy offseason in store with many FAs, and Nazem Kadri tops the list. Ondrej Palat could be one of the steals of this free-agent class if the Tampa Bay Lightning can't sign the forward. And John Klingberg could be on the move, as well! Will old friend Claude Giroux move back home and sign with the Ottawa Senators now that they have acquired Alex DeBrincat? Answers to these questions and more plus a review of the 2022 NHL Draft, and don't forget the Shootout, where the boys hit on rapid-fire topics to close us out!

The Philadelphia Phillies are gaining ground in the standings despite not having Bryce Harper. As the trade deadline approaches does the team need another starting pitcher, or do they need help out in center field? The Phillies have one last game against the St. Louis Cardinals tonight, can they bounce back following their 4-3 loss yesterday? The All Star break is two weeks away, and the Phillies are sitting comfortably in 3rd place in the NL East and holding onto the National League Wild Card spot. Do they have a chance to move up in the NL East? The Philadelphia 76ers also continue to improve in the off-season as they add Michael Foster Jr to their Summer League roster.. Is Daryl Morey done making deals or is a Tobias Harris trade eminent? What are some other changes we would like to see? Is there anyone that can be paired with a recently signed James Harden and a hungry Joel Embiid? We also look at the landscape of the NBA and the Eastern Conference.

A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far Far Away… the Star Wars sequel everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived! It's the return of A2D Radio's Star Wars Special!We start off with an in-depth discussion of Obi-Wan Kenobi's first season. The series was full of memorable moments that the panel will surely want to give their thoughts on. Did the series live up to the expectations? Where does it rank in comparison to other Star Wars content on Disney+?Next, they'll pick up where they left off with the first Star Wars Special show and dive into the sequel trilogy. The whole trilogy isn't without its share of criticisms and praises, especially when it comes to Episodes 8 & 9. What did the trilogy get right? And more importantly, what did the trilogy get wrong? The panel will transition into a conversation of the future of Star Wars. There are a ton of highly-anticipated projects coming up within the next several years, from films, to shows, and even video games. Which ones are we excited for the most? What is on our wishlist of what we'd love to see Disney do with the franchise?Finally, the panel gives their “What ifs” when it comes to Star Wars. What would they have done differently? What do they wish was different? What do they wish they could completely erase from history?

Since the Philadelphia Phillies named Rob Thomson interim manager, The Phillies have a 24-11 record and back in the National League wild card race. The Phillies offense has also improved under Thompson and the bullpen has reversed the trend of blowing leads. Is it time for the Phillies to make Rob Thomson the PERMANENT manager?The Philadelphia 76ers offseason continues as GM Daryl Morey is finalizing a new, two-year contract with James Harden that will save the Sixers plenty of cap space. We look in the potential impact of the possible and what that means for the team going forward.Finally, the guys will name their crumbs of the week as they always do. Join the discussion LIVE!!!

Who are the most underrated and overrated Philadelphia Eagles players, both current and all-time? Is Jeremy Maclin the most underrated WR in Eagles history? Is Sheldon Brown the most underrated CB in Eagles history? How about overrated? Which players on the current team do you believe deserve more recognition, and which ones get too much?In the 2nd half of the show, the guys will turn the conversation to the whole league. Who are some of the most underrated and overrated players in NFL history and currently?Finally, to finish off the show, the guys go “No Huddle” and pull out all the stops as they discuss several quick and rapid topics from the world of sports and beyond!

Bryce Harper has three pins in his left thumb, a cast on his left hand and an unyielding belief that he will return from injury this season to try to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to their first playoff appearance in 11 years. Since Bryce Harper went down with a broken thumb on June 25, J.T Realmuto is hitting .320/.379/.680 with a 182 wRC+. He has driven in seven runs in seven games. If you were wondering about the calendar's impact on Kyle Schwarber, well, it looks like he's just fine. After an absurd June in which “June Schwarber” was named NL Player of the Month, he began July by going just 2-for-13 with no extra-base hits. On Tuesday night, he took care of the temporary power outage right away by swatting his third leadoff homer of the season, a 412-foot shot that came off his bat at 108.3 mph The Cleveland Browns and Carolina Panthers have agreed to a trade that sends Baker Mayfield to Carolina in exchange for a 2024 conditional fifth-round pick (which can become a fourth-round selection), NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Wednesday.
