The Broad Street Line

Chris Stevens of HBCU Sports joins us to give us some insight on Around the Horn as the show ends its impactful 23-year-run. Later in the show, the crew discusses the narrative around the WNBA and predicts how good DeSean Jackson and Michael Vick can be as head coaches on the collegiate level.

The haters will have to keep hating as the Tush Push lives on: The Green Bay Packers' ill-fated proposal to ban the Philadelphia Eagles' signature play didn't have enough votes to be passed at this week's owners' meetings. And while Jeffrey Lurie enjoys his victory lap, Nick Sirianni was also rewarded this week for his successful run with the Birds. However, we start off the show by debating the greatness of one Scottie F. Scheffler.

The 2025 NFL schedule was released and, no matter how you slice it, the Birds definitely have their work cut out for them this season. Vegas has the over/under for Eagles wins at 11.5 - do you think that's a good bet? And who are the Birds' biggest obstacles in the NFC? We'll debate those two questions and more before diving into the NFL's blatant overreach when it comes to the NBA and Christmas Day.

Dallas Goedert agreed this week to the Sweaty J discount program to return for one last ride with the Philadelphia Eagles. Given that the Eagles' offense is basically the same as last season, can we expect the Birds to make another deep postseason run? Also, we spend a few moments trying to figure out why James Harden is so bad in closeout games.

Saquon Barkley played golf with the President of the United States, and Philly Sports Twitter has never been more divided. Of course, that occurred on the eve of the Philadelphia Eagles' trip to the White House - a visit that many decided to pass on. More importantly... the Birds added 10 players in this past weekend's draft - we'll hand out the way-too-early grade on the various classes.

Did Dwayne Johnson ruin Wrestlemania? Some say yes, but how is that the case when he didn't even show up? We debate the question that is splitting the Internet Wrestling Community, but before we do that, we get you caught up on the latest NFL pre-draft noise.

The Road to Wrestlemania is finished, and while the build has been less than ideal, we're still hoping for an amazing show this weekend in Vegas. Speaking of amazing shows, that's exactly what we got in Augusta, Georgia last Sunday for the Masters. Huge shout out to Rory McIlroy for completing the career Grand Slam and joining one of the most exclusive clubs in sports.

Since everyone loves a mock draft, we review the Eagles' projected selections from the king of the NFL Draft himself, Mel Kiper, Jr. With the Sixers playing out the string, we spend an inordinate amount of time talking about golf and how difficult it is for guys not named Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.

The haters are mad, but the Tush Push lives on... for now. The NFL tables any official voting on the Packers' proposal, but it feels like the Philadelphia Eagles' cheat code play will soon be a thing of the past. Later in the show, we discuss the Birds' lukewarm embrace of Dallas Goedert, and wonder if you can officially put a bow on the current era of the Sixers with the news of Joel Embiid's surgery.

Rest in peace to former heavyweight champion George Foreman, who was bigger than life both inside and outside of the ring. Many times, it felt like Foreman winning a boxing match was inevitable, so we ask the same question about the Los Angeles Dodgers as they kick off the 2025 MLB season. We also run through some of the top-30 visits for the Philadelphia Eagles to try to figure out their draft strategy.

On this episode, we show love to all-time Eagles legend Brandon Graham who is finally calling it a career after his second Super Bowl title. We also throw shade at the Green Bay Packers who want to ban the Tush Push, and we finally get the fire that we're waiting for from John Cena and Cody Rhodes.

The Philadelphia Eagles sign a few players... and lose quite a bit more. With the talent drain being real in Philly, will the Eagles have enough for another Super Bowl run? We discuss that, the possible end of Tiger Woods' "regular" PGA career, and we also take an early look at the Wrestlemania 41 card.

The wrestling world is still reeling from what could be the greatest heel turn ever as John Cena aligns with the Final Boss, Dwayne Johnson. But... before we talk about that, we review the latest moves by the Philadelphia Eagles to free up some cap space, and roll through a few mock draft predictions.

Now that we've all survived the parade, what comes next for the Philadelphia Eagles? Well... they've solved the issue with the offensive coordinator, elevating Kevin Patullo to the coveted spot. But will he have the same weapons heading into 2025? 

Super Bowl Champions... The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX, and the outcome was barely in doubt. We debate where this team ranks among Birds' teams all time, and discuss the resumes of both Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni. The time for criticism will come later... for now, let's just bask in the glow of a championship.

It's time for the Philadelphia Eagles to take their cues from the Cody Rhodes / Roman Reigns saga and finally Finish Their Story against the Kansas City Chiefs. Super Bowl LIX will contribute a lot to the legacies of both Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes... soon, we'll find out who comes out on top.

The magical run for the 2024 Philadelphia Eagles continues as they roll the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game, earning a trip to New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX. A matchup against their archnemesis Kansas City awaits... is this the year where the Eagles finally finish their story?

We kick off this week's show by discussing the utter mess that is NBA All-Star Saturday Night. And then we move on to more important matters: Figuring out how in the heck the Eagles can win a football game with a subpar passing attack. And before we sign off, we debate the merits of the 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame class.

Despite a rusty QB, suspect playcalling, and a WR reading a book on the sideline during the game, the Eagles handled this Packers this past weekend in the Divisional Round. After we preview the Birds' upcoming matchup against the Rams, we spin around the NFL and evaluate the futures of Justin Herbert, Mike Tomlin, and Jayden Daniels.

Have you ever watched a television show that FEELS expensive? That was what we felt while watching the WWE's debut on Netflix. What does this move to streaming mean for wrestling as a whole? We discuss that later in the show, but first, we break down everything that you need to know ahead of this weekend's Birds/Packers clash.

No Jalen Hurts? No problem! Kenny Pickett led the Eagles to an absolute beatdown of the Dallas Cowboys this past weekend, securing the NFC East crown. With the Packers likely coming into Philadelphia on Wild Card Weekend, will Jalen Hurts be ready to go once the postseason rolls around?

We start the show by giving some love to the one and only Rickey Henderson, THE greatest leadoff hitter that we've ever seen. After we pay our respects, we discuss one of the weirdest games that you'll ever see: The Eagles 36-33 loss to the Commanders this past weekend. Will Jalen Hurts be good to go for the postseason? 

The Eagles - and specifically - Jalen Hurts gave us exactly what we wanted to see out of the passing game as the handled the Steelers last week. Can they run it back this Sunday vs. the Commanders? Also, the injury news keeps coming for the Philadelphia 76ers, but hopefully, Joel Embiid is close to a return.

Can we have nice things in the City of Philadelphia? On the news that Joel Embiid is back and ready to go for the Philadelphia 76ers, we get word out of the Eagles locker room - after a win - that there may be some dissention in the ranks. Can A.J. Brown, Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' offense get things sorted out before the postseason? Also, we discuss what the latest vote by City Council means for the future of the Sixers' new arena.

Given that the Philadelphia Eagles took care of business against the Baltimore Ravens this past weekend, is it OK to be irrationally confident about the team's chances at a Super Bowl trophy? We debate that topic as well as the possible dilemma surrounding Saquon Barkley's run towards Eric Dickerson's rushing record. Later in the show, we share our thoughts on one of the more shocking developments in the history of WWE.

Is Eagles/Ravens a Super Bowl preview? We're not exactly sure, but we'll tell you what we'll take out of an Eagles' win (or loss) on Sunday. On this episode, we also explain why we've taken issue with Joel Embiid's recent behavior when it comes to the Sixers, and give you a preview of WWE's Survivor Series PLE.

We should be focused more on the local football team, but the Philadelphia 76ers continue to surround themselves with an unimaginable amount of drama. Early-season team meetings, snitches, injuries... it's basically a soap opera in South Philly. Fortunately, we have something positive to cheer about as the Eagles rip off win after win...

Welcome to the Big Show, Jared McCain! The Sixers' rookie is turning heads with his fearless play and is ALMOST good enough to help you ignore the team's terrible start to the season. But before we talk about him, we'll keep enjoying the ride that the Philadelphia Eagles are taking us on... do they have enough juice to keep the train rolling against the Washington Commanders?

If it wasn't for bad luck, the Sixers would have no luck at all. But at least we have a football team in town that was pretty lucky last weekend! We'll discuss the differing fortunes between the Sixers and the Eagles, and debate when the local basketball team will be able to start turning things around. 

For those of you who have had unwavering faith in the Philadelphia Eagles, that faith is finally paying dividends. The same can't be said for fans of the Philadelphia 76ers, who are digging themselves a bit of a hole with Joel Embiid and Paul George on the shelf. Later in the show, Kris and Roy discuss what they think happens next with the Bloodline saga.

The Eagles beat the brakes off of the Giants for their second turnover-free victory in a row. We'll decide how much we can read into the win, but first... in SixersLand, the fanbase is - by and large - absolutely disgusted at the news that Joel Embiid will miss the first week of the season. Is he injured? Is he out of shape? Is this all part of the plan? Kris and Roy will debate that as best they can.

Have the Eagles turned the corner? It's hard to say, but Sunday's win over the Browns is a decent sign that this is a... decent team. No turnovers for Jalen and the crew - hopefully, this holds up with the Giants on deck this weekend. Also, the Sixers were hit with a flurry of injury news this past week... will they have enough time to build up chemistry by the time the playoffs hit?

It wasn't supposed to end like this... not even halfway through October, and the Philadelphia Phillies have already been sent home by the New York Mets. Kris and Roy debate what went wrong and how the team can fix their issues going forward. Later in the show, the two squeeze in some time to talk about the local baseball team, and try to figure out exactly what Dwayne was doing at the end of Bad Blood.

Week 5 byes are usually too early in the season for most teams, but it comes at just the right time this year for the 2-2 Philadelphia Eagles. With a pretty soft schedule coming after the week off, can the Birds rebound and put together a decent run? Kris and Roy debate that question, and decide if this is the year that we should believe that Joel Embiid will learn his lesson and pace himself throughout the regular season.

When you don't drive the car, but often grab the wheel and crash into a telephone pole (i.e. Nick Sirianni), what does that make you? We answer that question, pour out some love for Zach Lowe, and lament the loss of the Athletics to Oakland.

The Eagles gave one away earlier this week against the Falcons... can the right the ship in time for their trip to the Big Easy? We'll answer that question on this week's episode, and we also go over the pros and cons of the Philadelphia 76ers finallly coming to an agreement to building a new arena in Center City.

It was a win, but it wasn't a pretty one... we'll talk about the Eagles victory in Sao Paolo, and what they need to clean up ahead of their Week 2 showdown with the Falcons. We also celebrate the (temporary) return of Monday Night Raw to 2 hours.

This is the big one: The 2024 Philadelphia Eagles predictions that are sure to go wrong are released as the Birds - who are worth a clean SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS - deal with the fallout of some unauthorized political ads.

No real surprises as the Eagles set their 53-man roster for the 2024 season. Kris and Roy take some time to run down the best fantasy football options for the 2024, and raise a glass to Eddie Kingston who says that Madden 25 is trash.

Hopefully, Jahan Dotson is the savior for the Birds at WR3. But if we're worried about WR3 more than anything else, do we really have any worries at all? Also, when the game is on the line for the Sixers, who takes the last shot?

Ladies and gentlemen... we have returned from a brief hiatus debating the injuries all around the league affect some of the NFL's biggest and best stars. Most importantly, we celebrate the fact that The Avengers took care of business in Paris (after a couple of scares), and brought a gold medal home to the US.

Joel Embiid looks lost in his Olympic debut - hopefully, Team USA figures things out before the medal round kicks off. Later in the show, we (hopefully) put a bow on the NBA television deal conversation that appears to leave TNT out in the cold.

"Pour into it every day" is the unofficial Eagles' slogan of the year... will it age as well as "The rent is due every day?" In other news, Joel Embiid makes some... odd comments, and the Sixers help him out with yet ANOTHER point guard.

New Jersey is making a pretty concerted effort to lure the Philadelphia 76ers to Camden, which makes sense for them, but not as much for the team and the fans. Also, two big names on the sports media circuit announce their departures, and we continue to pave the Road to Summerslam

Daryl Morey says that we ain't done yet as the Sixers make even more signings to bolster the roster. In wrestling news, we recap Money in the Bank, and the G.O.A.T. John Cena announces his upcoming retirement tour.

The star hunt is over as Daryl Morey lands the plane and signs Paul George. They also make some moves around the margins as the remaining free agent pool dries up rather quickly. In other news, we come up with an Eagles' all-time Mount Rushmore, and figure out what inning we're in with WWE's Bloodline saga.

Will it be one sweet summer for the Sixers? Only if they land a big name free agent. The Knicks - with their acquisition of Mikal Bridges - already got noticeably better, so the clock is ticking on Daryl Morey and Co. to make a move. Also, Jacob Fatu makes his WWE debut, and the world may never be the same.

RIP to Willie Mays, who quite possibly may be the greatest who has ever done it. Later in the show, we lament the fact that the Sixers may be out on the premium prize in free agency this year, Paul George. And while the Jets are going through offseason workouts, former Eagle Haason Reddick is posting Instagram stories in Japan. Oh, and the Celtics won the NBA championship.

Despite a sluggish first half from the Sixers, the local basketball team rebounded in the second half of their play-in game against the Miami Heat, and will face the New York Knicks in the first round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs. We'll spend a bunch of time previewing their odds at a deep playoff run, and later debate whether Jontay Porter is the worst case of an athlete getting banned/suspended that we've ever seen.

WrestleMania XL was everything that we could have expected and more, and Kris and Roy run down the weekend's events that culminated in one of the most amazing spectaculars in WWE history. We'll also spend a few minutes on the mystery surrounding Shohei Ohtani and his interpreter's gambling problem.

The Showcase of The Immortals is finally here, but before we get into our Wrestlemania predictions and preview, we'll talk a little bit about Joel Embiid's injury, and welcome our good friend Dave Rueter, author of Kayfabe: A Love Story. Wrestlemania XL is cool and all, but we have to show love to Manias - and wrestlers - of year's past, no?
