Hoagie Mouth

Why? WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE the Tush Push? I get it, I guess. If the New York Giants were the only team that excelled at the play, and used it to fuel a title run, then maybe I'd be against it too. Anyway, SUGGIT Cheezheads because the play LIVES. We bask in that glory for most of the show.We appreciate the multi-year extension for Coach Nick Sirianni, and muse on what's possible next year and beyond. DYNASTY?BUT then we also discuss the surging Phillies (and current #1 overall team in baseball). The West Coast swing helps when Colorado's in there. But LOTS to be happy about.Heck we even talk about the Knicks. Who are now down 0-2. Woof.Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.comIG: @hoagiemouthpod

Bob was literally trying to get us to believe that his new dog ate his daughter's homework. CMON BOB you expect us to believe that?!?! After further investigation, it appears that the dog at least SHREDDED the homework. Let's see if the school teacher accepts that excuse.BUT FEAR NOT - we move past the "talking about dogs" section and we move right into all things Philadelphia sports. FIRST UP - the Phillies. Are we happy? Should we be excited when they go on a little run in May, before they semi-crash down to earth again?Next up - MORE Eagles - every time I say we're done with the Eagles, we're not. We talk about D-God staying with us, and we continue to marvel at another solid draft by Howie.Jeff bravely tackles the Flyers again solo, predicting (as it turns out - CORRECTLY) that Rick Tocchet will be the next head coach. We recorded this mere hours before the announcement became official. Welcome back, Toccer! (not his real hockey nickname).Eventually we'll talk about the Sixers. Not yet, too soon.Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.comIG: @hoagiemouthpod

Holy MOLEY sometimes, folks, lemme tell ya...it's a challenge to do podcasts. You gotta coordinate schedules, balance family and work life...and then you gotta POST stuff....I mean WOW. But seriously, it took a bit, we had such a long show for the draft, that we got a little punchy in this latest episode. We cover all things Philly sports - and this is no different. We focus on the PHILS and how they are trending a bit, I suppose, upwards? We pontificate on the Eagles draft and analyze the picks - do we have any day one starters in the bunch?And heck, we make time for the Flyers....will Tocchet make the move to be the new HC? He's the NHL leader in Gordie Howe hat tricks fer chrissakes. Listen to the pod to find out what that means.Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.comIG: @hoagiemouthpod

Well you may ask yourself - do I need an almost 4 hour podcast in my life? Well, if you do, and it has to be JUST ONE, make it this one. Hoagie Mouth World - we did it, we covered the entire draft - AS IT HAPPENED - with oodles of guests representing lots of teams. I'm talking the Cowboys, the Commies, the Giants, heck even a couple of Jets fans! Really, it was a very special night, and thanks to all of our amazing guests. INCLUDING an OG founder of the pod! Next week we return with analysis out the wazoo. For now, strap in and get ready for a bunch of friends who know a fair amount about football analyze Round 1....Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.comIG: @hoagiemouthpod

I work hard on these headlines and I DON'T GET PAID FOR IT. Someday you'll all have these collected in a coffee table book. That'll be quite the day. UNTIL THEN, Hoagie Mouth World, you've got our weekly Philadelphia sports podcast. Just audio for now, we're easing into video. Slowly.We get RIGHT into the thick of NFL draft prep, and the panel of Mike, Bob and Jeff evaluate the areas of need on the Eagles. We all know we lost a ton of rushers / disrupters, so we start there and eventually we get to tight ends. That was fun to write.Up next it's LIVE look-ins at the Phillies as they kick off their series away at the Braves (game 3 rubber match is tonight as of this writing). Will these legendary NL East matchups be something to write home about? Or will their hopes be dashed just like Alec Bohm's "BODY LANGUAGE"??Tune in next week too, as we really get into draft mode, and we shall tease a very special episode for draft night. Join us, eh? Tariff free.Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.comIG: @hoagiemouthpod

Believe me, I tried to work even MORE into that title (I couldn't come up with a clever enough Cory Booker reference). But folks, it's yet another week of Philadelphia sports topics and professional amateur analysis, courtesy of Mike, Bob and Jeff. First, it's all about the DUM DUM Tush Push potential BANNING controversy happening at the league meetings. Don't believe the malarkey about player safety, they don't really care. They hate us cuz they ain't us, is pretty much it.Next, it's the home opening week for the Phillies, and we highlight a player who has been busting out with some impressive stats, due to more playing time. Is it SOSA FEVER time? Maybe. It's early April.Then we discuss the John Tortorella firing as HC of the Flyers. We understand the reasoning, and we look forward to another former Flyer likely to replace him. Really, I think the Flyers plan is to find any former Flyer or Phantom and give them a job. Maybe not a bad plan!Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.comIG: @hoagiemouthpod

Oh man, folks, I tell ya, it's great to see that we have fans around the globe. Our analytics team (me) is hard at work doing audience research - so now we know that it's time to call it Hoagie Mouth WORLD, not just Nation. Thank you for being in this world with us.BUT FIRST! We opine on one of the greatest Eagles of all time - Mr. Brandon Graham, who retires after playing his entire career in Philly. Love seeing that, and we will always remember the Hand of God play. Enjoy retirement big fella. Nobody could chirp like you, dude.And then the feeling of spring is finally here in the air...can you SMELL IT? The Phillies better smell a championship...like this season. It's time to seize the opportunity, the window, the chance, the WHATEVER! We're all just glad to be going to the Bank soon for stunt food. We're into the s'mores quesadilla.Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.comIG: @hoagiemouthpod

Folks, we truly believe there's MORE EAGLES TALK to be had - so of couse we are happy to oblige here at Hoagie Mouth. The OG panel of Mike L, Bob and Jeff dissect the most up-to-date moves by the Birds. Minus the BG retirement which had just happened prior to recording - look for a big BG appreciation show / long segment next episode.Jeff questions the idea of developing players over the course of one season and then letting them walk....Mike L points out the youth movement is in full swing in South Philly. Bob keeps us all stable. We AVOIDED talking about the Sixers, and the Flyers are limping to the end of the season.But we hear the sound of the bats warming up. The Beer guy hollering in the stands. Dollar Dog Nights (RIP). Folks, baseball is almost here.

Are you seriously serious? We made it to 150 episodes? Well we're thrilled to hit that milestone, and we thank YOU, Hoagie Mouth Nation, for making it so. Your favorite panel of Jeff, Mike L and Bob return to celebrate our podding acheivements.Buckle up loyal listeners, because after we have a brief recap of the (essentially over) Flyers season and their future draft capital, we dive HEADLONG into more Eagles news. Get ready, because Mike L had a head of steam and gives you the goods. Sure, the Super Bowl is finally behind us, but free agency is upon us. We dissect the desertions on defense (say it five times fast) and speculate on the plan and philosophy behind replacing what we've lost. We DID lose a bunch of talent, but that's what happens to CHAMPIONS.We super-double-promise to get to the other sports next week. Get ready for the tank-a-thon convo around the reeling Sixers, and REALLY get ready for the final stretch of spring training for your Philadelphia Phillies. Folks, you're gonna be rocking at the Bank so so soon. America's pastime returns.Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.comIG: @hoagiemouthpod

If you're from the greater Philadelphia / Northern Delaware / Tri State Region, you will LURVE the new episode of Hoagie Mouth! The new QUAD / QUINT CREW of Chris S, Ned, Mike L, Bob and Jeff get right in to all things Philadelphia sports....starting with more and more Eagles content. The victory lap doesn't end, because we have Saquon extension GALORE happening. And we know Professor Roseman is still on the case, even if that means we say goodbye to Bradberry and Slay (*sniff*). It's a wild offseason ride that's just getting started.We spend a bit of time on the Flyers, and dissect where they stand at the trade deadline. Yet again we wonder if Risto and Lauts will be here next week...tune in for our prediction on that matter.The Sixers (RIP) and the Phils (too early to ANALYZE) will get back into the rotation, we swear! Until then, email us with segment ideas. Maybe Jeff will shout you out on the air if we use one!Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.comIG: @hoagiemouthpod

Folks, we've decided - after several staff meetings and email chains - to KEEP THE PARTY GOING since the Birds won the big game. We finally DEBUT the live recordings from our host Jeff as he traverses the streets of Philadelphia on Parade Day, on that glorious celebration. Heck, there was so much love, it was even Valentine's Day. As always, Mike L and Bob join us to dive into some end-of-the-season Eagles business. Then it's yin / yang time because we finally broach the subject of the failing and failing Sixers squad. Is it all JoJo's fault? Paul George's? Ownership? EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY? It's just UGH all around, but we start to ask the hard questions that are starting to form around possible Process 3.5, which is hard to imagine. Guess it's an infinite process, like space.We talk Flyers for a spell - Jeff thinks we are gonna SQUEAK in to the playoffs, but it's a hard road to get there. Let's see what we think after the trade deadline. Phillies are spring training and we touch on that as well - MUCH more to come in Phillies land in upcoming episodes. Join us, won't you?Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.comIG: @hoagiemouthpod

Did you think we were done talking about the Eagles? About the SUPA BOWL? No, we were not. Welcome back, HM Nation, as we continue to bask in the glory of the epic victory earlier this month. I'm still reeling from the Jalen Carter smack to Patty's mug. Love that so much.ANYHOOT we bring the family together! It's brothers Mike and Bob hopping "online" with beloved stepbrother Chris - who taps in from Colorado to give us the vibe from the mountains. Did he watch the Eagles victory out there? Darn tootin'. Don't care how strong Bo Nix is.Next week - we MAY move on to other things. If I get my way, I'll annoy Mike L by talking about spring training! He hates spring training.Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.comIG: @hoagiemouthpod

Whaaaaaaaaat we DID IT! Hey, everybody in Hoagie Mouth Nation, this is for you. The Eagles are CHAMPS after quite literally demolishing the Chiefs in Super Bowl LICKS. We got a few LICKS in on them Chiefs, lemme tell ya, see? Bob, Mike L and Jeff begin by breaking it down from a "how did you gather with your fellow Eagles fan" perspective from SB Victree Sundee. Next, we move on to our personal MVPs throughout the game. So many candidates! The entire Defense? YES PLS. But Jalen Hurts, man...ice in his veins. Love it. We LOVE all of it. Come bask in the afterglow, with a quick preview of PARADE PLANS. BONUS - Ned joins right at the end to give us the world from Delco itself. Thank you, hun.IG: @hoagiemouthpodEmail: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com

Holy moly, are we here again? We made it through the playoff gauntlet, arriving finally at the biggest game on the biggest stage in the Crescent City? We sure wish we were going in person to New Orleans, but we would probably get in trouble for our Cajun slang impression, it's pretty cringe. NO MATTER ABOUT THAT because your Philadelphia Eagles are once again in the Super Bowl, so Mike L, Bob and Jeff run it down for you, loyal listener. Who has the most to gain or lose this time? What aspect of the Chiefs are you focusing on? To, you know, BEAT THEM?? We are thrilled to usher you into this festive weekend with a fresh episode of fun. There's light cursing, and even some Joel Embiid coverage. Jeff again bravely brings up hockey. JOIN US, won't you? IG: @hoagiemouthpod Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com

How incredible is it that we've been able to write that phrase 3 times in the last 8 years? *Larry David voice* Pretty, pretty good. Pretty good. Welcome to HOAGIE MOUTH friends, where we venerate the NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles! It happened - again - and we are starting to really enjoy this "process". We look at the game and have Bob, Mike L and Jeff zero in on some of the key reasons behind the drubbing of the Washington Commanders. Who rose to the occasion? Who shook off the criticisms? And importantly - how do we continue the strong play to ensure a win on Super Bowl Sunday? We look at the Hurts / Siranni vortex, the top level defense effort, and some wild-card players that have captivated fans all around the world. Yes, "Go Birds" will be the rallying cry for weeks to come, and all of us fans will be insufferable to those who don't share our devotion. The Sixers won while we were podding! Miracles can happen. Next week - more on the (surging?) Flyers, but really, it's all about prepping for the big football game, where we'll breakdown the matchup with the Chiefs. Join us now, and join us then, won't you?

Whether it's dry or wet January, the Eagles are still all we can focus on. A full CREW of Hoagie Mouth OGs welcome you to another week in Philadephia sportsdom. The only thing we can really focus on is the Eagles. Who was your favorite player last week? What was the ONE REASON they won? Is it Jayden Daniel or Daniels? These and other pressing questions are answered by Ned, Bob, Mike L and your host Jeff as we traverse through our feelings and thoughts around the 24/25 Eagles. One more win, and we are BACK in the big game. We spent like 3 minutes on the Sixers, and it speaks for itself. Jeff again valiantly explains hockey and the latest for the Flyers (it could be good? we are close the wild card??!?!). Want to hear a topic that we didn't cover? EMAIL US. Also, pray for LA folks. Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com

C'mon folks, don't call it comeback, we've been here for years, perhaps even ROCKIN' our peers. Once again we pick up on the local Philly sports happenings. We begin with the playoff-playin' IGGLES and laud their victory over the Packers in the first round. Should we be worried about Hurts? Nah. How about the Rams and Matt Stafford, coming to town on Sunday? DOUBLE NAH Y'ALL. We then matriculate towards the Flyers, and resident (and perhaps the only Hoagie Mouth) hockey expert Jeff highlights some players of note through the first half of the year. And we even talk about Cutter for a minute (but we quickly move on). Last, and certainly least, your co-host and noted Sixers booster Mike L is simply despondent. Will he feel better about the team next week?? TUNE IN for the answer. Next week, though. ALSO! Ned joins us! Thanks, hun. Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com

OH MAN ladies and gents, we are thrilled beyond belief to return the podwaves! It's been a while, but the Hoagie Mouth crew are BACK with Philadelphia sports chatter, from the perspective of "regular persons" who don't exactly, well, do this for a living. But heck we've done over 140 episodes so clearly the magical combo is working. Bob, Mike L and Jeff return to review 2024 - the year in Philadelphia sports. What did the Sixers do in January of 2024? Do you even remember, bro? (Embiid dropped 70 puntos on the Spurs, bro). We cannot wait to join you again more regularly, but for now, feast your ears on our triumphant return. Oh and go Birds n stuff. Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com

Ladies and gents, we've missed ye. Not Ye, that dude sucks. But the royal YEEEEE, we welcome thee back to Hoagie Mouth. Jeff, Bob, and Mets-fan Jesse join you for a spirited SPECIAL EPISODE where we marvel at the fact. The FACT. That the Phillies are back in the World Series. What does it mean, what's it been like, and what is possible for the Phightins against the hated 'Stros? We'll find out, cuz this episode drops in the 2nd inning of game 1. Consider it BREAKING CONTENT. We also talk Eagles and how utterly amazing their season as gone to date. And the Flyers - I mean WHUT? They are at the top of the division already. The Sixers?

It's been a hot minute, Hoagie Mouth Nation...but we're back. Jeff and Bob TACKLE all four major sports teams in Philadelphia this week. We get into the nitty AND the Gritty with the Phillies, Sixers, Eagles and UGH THE DANG FLYERS. In baseball, we are hurtling towards the All Star Break. Will the Phils keep their grip on the Wild Card spot, with the hope that Harper comes back in the fall to take us to postseason victories? The Sixers have brought some braun (PJ Tucker) into the mix, and now have reshaped their bench. Heck, even Harden is cutting us a hometown deal. The Eagles have most definitely gotten more exciting recently, and we are breathless with anticipation for the opening of training camp in a couple of weeks. And the Flyers? WELL you'd be best served to look the other way, missy. Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com Twitter: @hoagiemouthpod --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

Listen, no one is happier than Bob and Jeff when we ruminate on the Phillies. They are truly on a monumental tear, but it's all for SQUAT unless the Braves decide to lose (they are 14-0 over the last 14 at the writing of this). But for real, it's a very good time to watch this team. We analyze what could be behind their success (the long ball, the last minute walk off wins, starting pitching, etc), and we try to look ahead and see what's in store for this group (spoiler, it's a wild-card spot). If you hang in there til the end, we reveal their biggest weakness. We attempt to talk about other Philly sports teams, but it's not gaining traction when it's the middle of June. See you for a summer of meaningful baseball. Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com Twitter: @hoagiemouthpod --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

Well I'm pretty sure we CALLED IT on the last Hoagie Mouth episode. We didn't have much confidence that Joe Girardi still "had the locker room" during the Phillies' horrific May skid. And there you have it - Jumpin Joe is OUT and Rob Thomson is IN. And, um, what a difference that has made! As the writing of this show description, ol' Robby T has TWO 10-0 wins under his belt ALREADY. That's it, buy your World Series tickets now, this one is a lock. Anywho, it is exciting to see the Phils become one of the hottest teams in baseball at the moment. Let's see if that holds up for a full season. We then LIGHTLY touch on the Eagles and our excitement for the next season of football...once Memorial Day comes, you just start thinking about it. It's science.

Folks, we don't mince words here on Hoagie Mouth...Bob and Jeff certainly NEVER mince. However the Phillies are turning to mincemeat before our very eyes. Jeff has a first hand account of the Mets sweeping the Phils, and it seems like the bleeding isn't stopping...(mercifully they beat the Giants last night, for once). Girardi on the chopping block? We shall see. We then take on the notion that "Philly peaked early with the 2017 Super Bowl"...and take the opportunity to evaluate the success of all 5 Philly teams (YES EVEN THE UNION) since that Super Bowl win. Tune in for the enticing results! Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com Twitter: @hoagiemouthpod --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

I know that, from the title, you may not know that this is a Philly sports podcast. But soon you'll discover the truth! Bob and Jeff dive headlong into the latest Philadelphia sports bummer, which is the Sixers being manhandled in the last 2 games of the ECSF by the Butler-led Miami Heat. We know Joel was not at 100%, and that Danny Green suffered what hopefully isn't a career ending injury. Add to that the lackluster production from Maxey, Harden and Harris, and you had the makings of a sad outcome. We posit on what may happen in the offseason...Harris on the move? A Beal mega-deal? Gosh, who knows. The Phillies are up next, with a mixture of excitement (Harper NL Player of the Week) and minor dread (mostly everything else about the team). Hey, again, the Mets are free to win April and May. We gotta get seriously better this summer.

Look it's not about cultural insensitivity. It's just that I refuse to say Jokic's name correctly because JOEL WAS ROBBED folks. But look, we knew this would likely happen...so here on Hoagie Mouth, Bob and Jeff analyze the Sixers post season SO FAR (Jokic is not in the post season. Ok sorry, last time). Tonight's game 5 is gonna be a BIGGIE, and we have to steal at least ONE in South Beach in order to stay alive. We marvel at the Harden effect, along with the Maxey paradox and the Harris theorem. Maybe a little bit of Danny Green in that scientific breakdown as well. On to the Phillies, who have not impressed us too much lately, especially at the hands of the Mets (that hurts). Let's see what all that payroll money will buy us, come September. A word on the Eagles and a plea for Trotz to join the Flyers wraps up this episode. SIXERS IN 6!

Folks, we like to be timely, but sometimes the sports world moves so FAST. This episode was recorded over the course of the last week. Some things were true then that aren't true anymore. Fact: In this 'cast, the Sixers were still playing the Raptors. No longer, we won the series. Also in this recording, Joel Embiid was healthy except for a dangling thumb. Not true any longer, he got a concussion and a BROKEN FACE (any Pixies fans? no?). Will we see him in the Heat series? (I say absolutely positively no doubt at some point). AND the funniest thing - The Phils had just swept the Rockies in CBP and we were riding high into the weekend series with the Mets...but we had no idea the combined Mets no-no was coming our way (we were on the ass end of that situation). ANYWAY this is pure Hoagie Mouth excitement - come for the Sixers deep dive, stay for the live-look in on a pretty awesome NFL draft night....as the Eagles maneuver and make things happen with Jordan Davis, AJ Brown..and eventually Nakobe Dean.

We simply make it work, people. NO matter that it's spring break, and that Jeff is deep in the Utah hinterlands...we get together and MAKE IT HAPPEN here on Hoagie Mouth...because Philly sports don't sleep. Mike and Bob get us going on the (unfortunate?) matchup in the first round between the Sixers and the Raptors. A lot of the experts have the Sixers winning out on this series, but we have our well-founded doubts about that. Will the Matisse omission come back to bite us (sting us? inject us?)? And also, I'm sorry, there's a Canadian basketball team? News to us. Next we dive right into the Phillies, who improbably were able to start baseball somewhat on time this year. Labor strife? Hardly knew ye! Will our offense be enough? But more importantly, what can we expect from a "revamped" bullpen? Seems like we're always revampin' in some way or another.

Folks, we MISSED you with a week off. Apologies - some of us came down with spring colds (not COVID, we test a lot and we VAXXED), some of us had to travel...and heck, we needed to gather some Philly Sports NEWZ to share with you. Mike, Bob and Jeff return with nuanced takes on A) The Phillies and their clear cut road to dinger after dinger, B) the Eagles playing 4D chess and C) The Sixers getting in the best position possible for the Playoffs. Clearly, we cannot WAIT for Baseball to return...mere weeks after we were burning the whole thing to the ground. The Eagles? I mean, is the April draft here yet?

We knew this day would come, dear Hoagie Mouth Nation. I tried to not think about it, but the logical side of my brain knew that Claude Giroux was going to get traded. But to a FLORIDA HOCKEY TEAM? Jesus. Gonna make it hard for me to cheer for the Panthers, but now we all likely want to see #28 raise the Stanley Cup. That's the only thing that would make the trade worth it. Cuz we didn't get much in return AMIRITE? After the tears dried up from that segment (and many thanks to resident Hockey Expert / HMMBOY Tim for joining), we move right along to the Sixers who are - let's be honest - lead by Maxey's amazing run. Joel and Harden need to sit? NOT A PROBLEMO. Gearing up for a championship run is a fun thing. Last but not least, Phillies ownership FINALLY says "F the luxury tax" and goes all in with Schwarbs and Nick the Stick. Heck, now Mike L is even paying attention to Spring Training games.

Folks, time is short, it's HOPPIN out here in Vegas. But your boys are on it - Hoagie Mouth on the road with your host Jeff near the Strip....and we gamble our way into your hearts and ears. That reminds me, there's an amazing Tijuana taco joint out here (Tacos El Gordo YUM). Time to have some hearts and ears for lunch. ANYWAY we look at the Sixers as they come down to earth a bit. What's the next points of emphasis for this squad? Mike and Bob L break it down. Next up - the Eagles as they begin to make some moves. Jeff was fooled by Watson for Hurts rumors, but now we have Haason Reddick (welcome home!). And then - beyond all of our imaginations - baseball is BACK so of course we focus on all the things the Phillies are already doing wrong. It didn't take long. Ok we recorded this before the Schwarber signing, but we need more. Lots more.

Another scintillating episode - this time Mike and Jeff run the table on, well, essentially all things Sixers, let's be honest. Aint no football (it's end of April for the draft), there ain't no real hockey (Flyers beat the Blackhawks but you won't hear me mention it), and there sure as heck ain't no baseball. Not sure if you heard, but baseball died. Anyway, the Sixers continue their run - yes there was a blip against the Heat but...was that on purpose? And they have capped it off with a dominant win over a very good Bulls team. Our Sixers seem primed for championship run. Jeff declares we are now living in the Post Process Period. Thems the rules.

I mean, it happened. Simmons is gone. And we got Harden. Early returns? SIIIIIIIIICK bro. Tonight we welcome James Harden in his home debut as a Sixer at the WFC. Who rings the bell is anyone's guess, as long as it's not Howard Eskin (spoiler, it's not). We talk about what the impact of JH has been on the squad so far...who has benefited, who hasn't yet...and we look forward to the final stretch to the playoffs. You know what may not have any playoffs, or GAMES this year? Baseball. Jeff completely loses it at the end of the 'cast, but he keeps it together in a fairly cohesive way.

The trio takes on the offseason for the Birds. We look at the defense and scheme out our needs. Jeff thinks we should spend all our first round picks on D. No DangerRuss. Up next - 2 sentences on the Flyers. Up NEXT NEXT: The Sixers are about to debut a lineup featuring no more Ben Simmons, but 100% more James Harden than we've ever had before.

Listen closely at the end of this "quickie" episode folks. You'll hear a special message for Rob Manfred, if you squint you can hear me use the F-word. But no matter, you're adults and Philly sports fans, you can handle it. We do another 2 man advantage with Mike and Jeff, and we get into all things Sixers, as they are blessed with Harden on the bench but little else...in an insane blowout loss to the Celtics. Coupled with a really miserable Flyers loss, it's just a garden of riches here in Philly sports land. Hey, at least pitchers and catchers reported last week! Oh wait.

EMERGENCY POD TRADE ALERT - We simply could not let the moment pass! Mike L, Bob, Jeff and Ned convene and ruminate on the big Sixers trade. Ben Simmons is gone to the Nets, and we got James Harden in return. Sure, we let Seth and Drummond go, but more on that next week. For now - the Beard is now ours for better or worse. But the best part is - he plays basketball very well in 2021-22 so far. Not sure we can say that about Ben.

Your host Jeff is connected to Mike and Bob L via Las Vegas NV...as we run down the latest in all things Philly sports. First up - the Sixers, as we keep an eye on the brewing potential trade situation for Ben Simmons. Are the Nets going to blink and provide Harden to us, for Ben plus question mark? Next week, we'll revisit this. Up next - it's #28 and his starring turn as MVP of the NHL All Star Game. Sure, we know the hockey play in an All Star game is lame, but Claude rules, and that's what I'm focused on. We touch on the Super Bowl, and we trust that you're taking care of yourselves.

It was a HOT MIC Hoagie Mouth (note the explanation at the top of the episode, dear listener). But we come to the pod with hot takes anyway, so it worked out. We jump right into the Sixers and their - fairly huge! - win over Ja Morant and the Grizzlies. Without the MVP-favorite Embiid, we find out what we have in Maxey and a revitalized Tobi, among others. It's an exciting time as the Sixers start to zero in on Eastern Conference DOMINATION. And well well well...we also do live look-ins on the Flyers as they - swear to the baby Jesus - put together 2 wins in a row! Who knows if this ends us putting us one or two places out of the playoff race. Ugh, probably best not to dwell on that. Lastly - we cover the Eagles who made it to the Pro Bowl, and we certainly take a few minutes to appreciate Tom the GOAT upon his retirement. We would love to smack the ball outta his hands one more time. Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com Twitter: @hoagiemouthpod --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

Folks, there's only two active sports in Philly right now, but it certainly feels like just ONE. We join you again for all things Philadelphia sports...and even though that technically includes the Flyers, your host Jeff just cannot summon the courage to recap all of the team's tragedies. Rudderless, churlish, and disrespectful. Maybe we need more hockey fights? We transition - as per usual - to simply marvel at Embiid's historic year...it's interesting to see how his strong play affects the Simmons trade situation. We wish Shaq could join us on this pod so we could compare his career to Joel. Anyhow, you know who our MVP is. Bob tells us about his neighborhood party bus trip to WFC, and Mike lets us know how his bets played out during NFL Playoff weekend. Jeff is going to slide in a little 'go niners' here. For personal reasons. Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com Twitter: @hoagiemouthpod --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

Man are you in for a treat - Tim Ferrell, reigning HMMBoy of the Year, joins us for an entire episode. We take advantage of this by eviscerating the Flyers. What else can you do at this point? Two times this season, we have lost 10 in a row...and all before the All Star Break. We are feeling nuclear, and we know Claude isn't safe from the explosion. Oh man. So how do we feel better? Talk about the Sixers during the game that Embiid dropped 50. What will come at the trade deadline? Finally, RIP Eagles Season...we pontificate on Mel Kyper's predictions for our first round draft picks, if we end up using them all. It could get saucy.

So much happening folks. We cover it all here at Hoagie Mouth - we bring you the Philly sports on the weekly! First up - the confounding dumpster fire that is the Flyers. How to even judge this team? The "we won the offseason on paper" idea is dead...so now it's time to look to the future. Got some youngins who might be able to help with that. Up next, the Sixers and their impressive 7 game win streak...and once again we stick with our man Joel and marvel at his...even BETTER??...season so far. Did the googly eyes work for Tobi? Sorta. Lastly - it's the improbably playoff bound Philadelphia Eagles, sauntering into Tampa Bay to take on Tom Terrific. We think it's a win. Tune in next week to see if we were right! Jake will have a say in that, believe you me. Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com Twitter: @hoagiemouthpod --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

Welcome to a brand new year (3rd season??) of Hoagie Mouth! The Long Brothers plus your host Jeff join you (welcome, new listeners) to discuss all things Philadelphia sports. We begin by *checks notes* highlighting the EAGLES CLINCHING THE PLAYOFFS. Wait, what? I thought Sirianni was gonna get fired in week 8? Nope, now he's a Coach of the Year candidate. Hurts, I thought he was inaccurate and never was gonna be a pocket passer? Nah man, he's in the Pro Bowl this year. Ok, wow. Jalen Reagor? Moving on. Up next - the Sixers on what can only be described as a non-confidence-building win streak. Somehow they are working through things, but unfortunately Tobi is gonna get the googly eyes again. To finish, Jeff squeaks in a little Flyers action and pontificates on how to see both them and Eagles in the same night. It might happen.

End of 2021? No problem. If you're anything like us, you're binging away at CONTENT right now. So here is one more Hoagie Mouth to get you through the New Years Day. We have much to look forward to in 2022. Mainly, the concept of having records above .500 for our sports teams as a whole. We do a LIVE look in at the Sixers v Nets, and it's a chippy one up til the final buzzer. Sixers winners of the last 4 of 5, Embiid unstoppable again, Maxey coming on strong...what's possible hmm? We give a nod to another team bouncing back from bad circumstances...the Flyers. Recorded before their OT loss at the Sharks, we reflect on (what is now) 7 points in the last 4 games...good progress and getting healthier. Up next, the EAGLES are coming on hot as a team to look out for in the NFC. We take stock of where we are, after a huge win against the Giants. Up next is away at WFT and home against the Cowboys. The possibilities of what's possible is possibly interesting.

Wow, we just never hit the "Stop Record" button. Recorded over TWO (!) days this week, we cover MOSTLY the surging Eagles. Because that's the temperature of Philly right now. We go into it with the WFT - the anger building up to this game, the concerns we had about taking our ground in the NFC East, and the "somebody" at starting QB for Washington who we didn't want to become famous. WELL THAT WORKED, because I've already forgotten his name. The 27-17 win by the Eagles was impressive for many reasons...we dive into that and more. Believe it or not - we found some energy to cover the Sixers and Flyers as well. Remember - keep listening past the 1hr 20min mark...we keep going...! Happy Holidays from the Hoagie Mouth crew...and keep an eye on your podcast feed for a very very special mini-pod, dropping right after THIS one goes live.

Ladies and gents, if I attempted to get ALL of the topics on tonight's Hoagie Mouth into the name of the show, there would be no need to write this description. And you all come for the descriptions! We DO talk about the Flyers, but Bob, Mike L and Jeff make SURE to get into the Sixers and Eagles to boot. We start off with the mixed bag of emotions that are the 76ers. Is Doc starting to flounder a little bit? Are there too many challenges to the roster right now (COVID, injuries, general Ben Simmons-ness) that make the rest of the season an uphill battle? We assess. Then it's the Flyers and their - frankly, totally surprising - three game win streak, which was capped off Tuesday night with an Atkinson hat trick. Mike Yeo, we love thee so...it would be more if we thought you were important. Lastly it's the Eagles heading into the home stretch beginning with WFT at home this Sunday. Balotti will be there - hope he takes good voice notes.

It's another "Hoagie Mouth goes to the game" episode! Most of us went! Mike L, Bob, Jeff, Tim and Jesse give you reports DIRECTLY from MetLife Stadium, where Minshew Mania silenced the Jets. Coming into a bye week - it was a huge win. And definitely - we swear - no QB controversy whatsoever. That's why we don't listen to Philadelphia sports talk radio. We break it down and spread out the accolades, there were a lot to give out. Next up - a bye and then WFT at the Linc. We turn our attention to the Flyers - who fired Alain and Therrien, and as of the writing of this they are STILL in the midst of a horrible losing streak - 10 in a row. Tim is furious. He'll join us soon to vent. Then, it's the surging Sixers as they continue a successful road swing. Embiid looking solid as a rock, but there are other folks we focus on who need to improve. Lastly, we don't even mention the baseball lockout. We do talk about Pulsations nightclub in Glen Mills PA tho! RIP Pulsations.

We have fun with a little WORDPLAY on this episode of Hoagie Mouth. Mike L, Bob, Mike B, Jeff and reigning HMMBOY Tim get together and, frankly, have a sad sad time rolling out the current state of Philly sport franchises. Starting with the Flyers and their (EGADS) six game losing streak (it's now seven, thanks Rangers). The team is certainly banged up, but the initial spark to the season has lost its luster to say the least! At least there's some semi-consistent goaltending. Onto the Eagles, who really served up a stinker at MetLife against a (not very good) Giants team. Hurts would love to take a mulligan on that one. Mike L is ready to pay you to go with us to the Jets/Eagles game...heck, email us or DM us on Twitter if interested (we will not pay you). We then pop in on the Sixers, another series of losses combined with a hobbled roster. Eeesh. We give like one sentence to the Phillies. And then it's more merriment with Merrill!

Wow, are you LUCKY to get content at half price on Black Friday! Just kidding, this podcast is free. But if you are paying for it, please let us know as we'd have a royalty issue on our end. SO - we decided it was prime time to reconvene with our NFC East rival fans - Mike (Cowboys), Jason (Giants) and Chris (Football Team, except this week it's a different Chris) - to get a sense of how things are playing out. This was recorded BEFORE the Cowboys lost at home to the Raiders OT FG in JerryWorld, on Thanksgiving. Man, that is fun to type. But now the division race seems even MORE wide open, and the OG HM panel focuses on our next up - the Giants at MetLife. We reminisce about players of yore (hence Riggo convo), and even cover Mike Long's new favorite team, the Knicks. Just kidding, we also talk about the Sixers and their dicey, starter-less run over the last few games. Joel coming back tomorrow! Send us a holiday themed email or tweet, please.

Another 2 man show for your earbuds, Mike and Jeff break down the latest achievements by your Philadelphia "based" sports teams. We start with the Flyers, as their hot start has begun to cool off. We didn't mention it on the show too much, but Carter Hart and Mahhhty Jones are both playing quite well. Let's hope the upcoming home stand (Calgary, TB and Boston, whoa) produces good results. Next, it's the Sixers and their fairly concerning 4-game skid. RIGHT ON TIME, they have to go on a six-game, primarily West Coast swing. Here's hoping we go 3-3, that would be ok. And then it's on to the resurgent (!!) Eagles, as they dominated the Broncos at Empower Field (see, I'm empowered!) last Sunday. Eagles fans were there in droves, and I'm saying that's the difference. Oh, and the fact that they found a running game and they finally drafted a number one receiver.

Gents and Ladies - you know you always get the hottest Philly sports content on your podwaves. Well this week is no different, except...it's different. We have a Broncos fan named Thomas who joins us...and after patiently letting us wallow through another recap of another tough loss (at home, where we are 0-4 this year, this time against the Chargers)...we preview the next matchup against Denver at Empower Field at Mile High (that's fun to say). We also tell him what a cold Elway is (it's a Coors Light). Next up - we chat Sixers and get into the surprising play of both the bench, and the team overall. We're all thankful that Ben is only the sideshow for now...not the main event. Lastly, we muse on how the Flyers never play enough games. It felt like 17 days in between matchups.

Welcome to a SUPER SIZED Hoagie Mouth this week folks! We cover the big three in action - the Sixers, Flyers and Eagles. Kind of the sweet spot this time of year. The Sixers are coming on strong in the early going this year. No Ben? Currently, not a problem. George Niang has his coming out party, and we're here to celebrate it. And then Jeff goes into a slightly impassioned re-assessment of the Simmons Saga. Perhaps there's more than one way of looking at the situation. Can Jeff convince a lawyer? Up next - Jeff tries again to get the crew up to speed on hockey, which unfortunately ends up with a lot of basketball comparisons. But the Flyers reward us with a shut out win over the Coyotes...another strong start for a Philly team early in its season. Last but not least, the "resurgent" Eagles find their inner flower and put a drubbing on the Lions. Can they continue the happy agricultural vibes at home vs the Chargers this weekend? The Long Brothers are headed to the Linc to find out for themselves.
