Former NFL safety and FOX Sports Radio weekend host Kerry Rhodes is in for Rob, and he and Kelvin tell us why MLB deserves a round of applause for the way they handled that Ketel Marte heckler, tell us why Paul George is wrong when he says that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just had arguably the greatest season ever by a guard, and go head-to-head in this week's edition of Teichert's Tower of Trivia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After drafting VJ Edgecombe, the Sixers look to add more talent alongside Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, and Joel Embiid. Could it be Ryan Kalkbrenner, Rasheer Fleming, or Adou Thiero? Join the PHLY Sixers crew as they analyze all 30 picks and look back at the full draft.

e323 Lightning Jesus, Sacred Heart Promises by Paul George

The Sixers draft VJ Edgecombe out of Baylor University with the 3rd overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. He has some great tools and a very athletic style of play and will likely slide right into the Guard rotation. The question remains however, if the Sixers can make it out of the 2nd Round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs. Joel Embiid and Paul George will be one year older, and the skepticism over their ability to stay healthy enough to play even 50 games total together remains. The Phillies were swept in Houston while the pitching staff allowed just 5 runs combined. Suarez, Wheeler, and Sanchez were masterful, but the offense was in hibernation. With the trade deadline looming, Tek & Prem discuss the possible scenarios with key prospects and potential trade pieces on the active roster. A weekend series in Atlanta against the Braves, who are heating up, will provide more clarity regarding the Phillies recent offensive slumber. The Flyers add a young player with a lot of upside in a pre-draft trade and the NHL Draft is on deck.

VJ Edgecombe is joining the Sixers. How does he fit alongside Tyrese Maxey, Jared McCain, Joel Embiid, and Paul George? Plus looking ahead to the NBA Draft second round and possibly taking Rasheer Fleming.  

Gil's Arena Reacts To The 1st Round Of The NBA Draft as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew break down the storylines of the opening night of the NBA Draft and tell their stories of how it felt to hear their name called and enter the NBA. They kick things off with the #1 overall pick Cooper Flagg who landed with the Dallas Mavericks and discuss how the NBA's next rookie phenom will impact the team still reeling from the Luka Doncic trade. They also react to LeBron James' high praise for the former Duke Blue Devil and discuss how much the Mavs' strong supporting cast of Anthony Davis, Klay Thompson and Kyrie Irving will impact Flagg in his rookie season. They then react to the San Antonio Spurs adding 2 lottery picks in this year's draft including #2 overall pick Dylan Harper and break down how close this Spurs team is to contending as Victor Wembanyama enters his 3rd season with a roster loaded with young talent. Next, they continue their discussion on Ace Bailey who intentionally plummeted his draft stock only to end up with the Utah Jazz, sparking a debate on if the Rutgers superstar played himself throughout the draft process before giving a breakdown on the current state of the Philadelphia 76ers who passed on Bailey to pair VJ Edgecombe with their impressive core of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and Jared McCain. They then welcome comedian, actor and entertainer CP into the Arena to discuss his upcoming special Sunday After Six and virtually sit down with Award Winning Journalist Henry Abbot to discuss his new book "Ballistic" and give his take on the injury issues tearing through the NBA. Finally, Gil takes on more heat for his take on Ring Culture and offers a hostile response to Draymond Green who called out Gil & The Arena for having a take on championship culture despite never sniffing the Larry O'Brien during his playing days.

Ike, Spike and Fritz play audio from Paul George and Bill Simmons regarding Ace Bailey and the Sixers options with the No. 3 pick.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise explains why he feels the Steelers, Penguins and Pirates can all learn valuable lessons from the Oklahoma City Thunder's run to an NBA championship this season. For the Steelers, he looks at the Thunder's willingness to deal star Paul George in exchange for current stars like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and wonders if GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin should be more willing to part with names like T.J. Watt, Minkah Fitzpatrick and Cam Heyward in pursuit of draft capital. On the Penguins front, he feels GM Kyle Dubas could benefit from a willingness to move on from Stanley Cup winners like Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang. And with regard to the Pirates, he sees a need for greater player development than the club has demonstrated under GM Ben Cherington.

Tyrese Haliburton sank three threes, kick-starting the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, before suffering an Achilles injury that sidelined him for the game and maybe next season. Jason notes that the injury coincides with a lengthy list of injuries that have sidelined Indianapolis marquee athletes like Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, Victor Oladipo, and Paul George. During a season featuring the best of times and worst of times in Indianapolis ... it appears the Indiana Fever are pretenders, not contenders, for the WNBA title. Caitlin Clark is 1-17 from three-point range in her last two outings. Jason explains the issues with the Fever and the "tres leches" T-shirt worn by Sophie Cunningham before Sunday's game. Jay Skapinac joins the show to discuss whether Haliburton would have made the difference against Oklahoma City and whether the Pacers risked their future by playing Haliburton. Jason and Jay break down the trade sending Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets. Steve Kim jumps into the mix with Jason for a deep dive into the slumping Indiana Fever. Is there a split between heterosexual and homosexual players in the locker room? In addition, they discuss St. Louis Cardinals broadcaster Chip Caray's misread of a promo, and why did Simone Biles delete her X account? Afterward, tune in to the Harmony channel with J.D. Sharp, Shemeka Michelle, and T.J. Moe on Donald Trump's decision to attack Iran.
