Podcasts about broad street line

The issues with the Philadelphia Eagles' offense are clear, but can they be fixed this season? We debate the answer to that question, and grade each unit on the team as we're now about a third of the way through the season.

The Eagles' offense is stagnant once again, and A.J. Brown has resorted to posting Bible verses on social media. We dive deep into the latest surrounding the Birds and explain why everything isn't peaches and cream despite the undefeated record. Later in the show, we run down the PWI Top 10 for 2025.

This week on The Broad Street Line, we prepare for a battle of the undefeateds and the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. The Bucs have had the Birds' number in recent years, but Tampa Bay will be playing with a short deck with Mike Evans out. 

If you're a fan of the graps, well... baby, this weekend is for you. We've got All Out Toronto, and we've got the first-ever Wrestlepalooza on tap as well. But, before we get to all of that, we've got an Eagles/Rams game to talk about. Just remember: This is a rematch, and not a revenge game...

Tank Bigsby and Za'Darius Smith join the Philadelphia Eagles just in time for their rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2. With only 4 targets for A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith last week, Kris and Roy try to figure out how to get the Eagles' passing game on track. And, all due respect to the Eagles, but the Bills/Ravens Week 1 matchup may have been the Game of the Year.

Philadelphia's long-lasting nightmare ends as FanDuel pledges to cover the costs of running extra trains for the home opener. As this was recorded before said game, we still had a lot of questions about the Eagles heading into the 2025 season. And, as we do every year, we - or, at least, Kris - predict the stats for the Birds on both sides of the ball for all 17 games.

No surprises on the Eagles' 53-man roster, but an injury to Tanner McKee means that Sam Howell is QB2 for now. In more pressing Philadelphia sports news, with Zack Wheeler out for the season, is the Phillies' rotation strong enough to get them through October? And is this the best week of the college football season?

The Philadelphia Eagles are still the favorites to repeat in the NFC, but there are a fair amount of questions surrounding the Birds to make you question their ability to make it back to the Super Bowl. Kris and Roy discuss that, the WRs and TEs that you need to keep an eye on in the world of fantasy, and finish off with a breakdown of the WWE's latest deal.

Caleb Williams... or Caleb Johnson? Is Saquon Barkley fantasy RB1 after a 2,000-yard season? And why do we love Dak Prescott so much? Kris and Roy explain all of that as they break down the QB and RB positions from a fantasy perspective. But before all of that, we say a few prayers for Landon Dickerson, and discuss YET ANOTHER quarterback ranking, this time courtesy of The Athletic.

Did WWE take it too far with its latest swerve? It's hard to say, but it made for a VERY intriguing Night One of Summer Slam. We discuss that, the BIG return on Night Two and, most importantly, the coming out party for Tanner F. McKee.

Hulk Hogan's passing has led to a lot of uncomfortable conversations over the past few days. However, despite his failings as a person, he is one of the most important figures in the history of professional wrestling. We discuss his impact on the sport and talk a bit about WWE's Unreal... does it show us too much behind the scenes?

After we spend an inordinate amount of time talking about the greatness of Scottie Scheffler and Tiger Woods, we dive into the greatness that is... NFL training camp season. Most of the questions surrounding the Philadelphia Eagles have to do with the defense, and the position battles are already underway down at the Novacare Complex. We also get confirmation that Jalen Hurts is built differently than pretty much every other quarterback alive.

An extraordinary piece courtesy of ESPN.com sheds quite a bit of light on the Joel Embiid situation, including the fact that he finds it hard to let others into his inner circle. And, since it's a day that ends in Y, we discuss yet another injury to Sixers' player. Thankfully, the wrestling this past weekend was GOOD, and Kyle Schwarber saved the All-Star game thanks to his trio of moonshots.

While it's hot outside, it's even hotter out in Utah where V.J. Edgecombe was COOKING in the Summer League... before he got hurt. After we lament why we can't have nice things, we debate the five most important Philadelphia Eagles as we head into a slow period in the world of professional sports. That goodness for the quality graps heading our way courtesy of WWE and AEW.

The WNBA is coming to town... in a couple of years. Brace yourself for the Philadelphia Freedom (which we think they'll be named), but count Philadelphia among the cities that are joining the women's basketball boom. Later in the show, we'll talk about LeBron James doing LeBron James things, and the return of an unlikely video game franchise.

V.J. Edgecombe... welcome to Philadelphia. By the way, we always wanted you more than Ace Bailey, anyway. And with Joel Embiid set to be ready "right around" training camp, and with half of the Eastern Conference out with Achilles injuries, this may even be THE YEAR. Oh, by the way, the Thunder won the NBA title, and look poised to dominate for the next 5 years.

Ace Bailey told the Sixers to kick rocks, and it appears that the team is ready to tell him the same. We're less than a week out from the NBA Draft, and all signs point to Baylor's V.J. Edgecombe as the newest member of the 76ers. We'll break down all of the main prospects who figure to be on the board when the Sixers pick, and we also light up a local radio station that leverages clickbait for engagement.

Are the Sixers moving up or down in the 2025 NBA Draft? Was WWE's release and re-signing of R-Truth aka Ron Killings a work or a shoot? Who the hell knows, but we'll try to answer those questions as best as we can as we head into the slow portion of the sports calendar.

Uncle Vic speaks, and it sounds like the Philadelphia Eagles will have a few position battles on the defensive side once training camp rolls around. After we take a trip to Steakquon's, we celebrate Adam Silver for fixing All-Star Weekend, and we give our picks for WWE's Money In The Bank

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.
