Ben Simmons Continues To Be An Absolute LOSER


Ben Simmons has been pampered his entire life. He’s used to everything coming easy, being unconditionally loved, and never having to answer for himself or be held with any sort of accountability. If you’re a Philadelphia sports fan, you already knew that. Simmons’ refusal to play for the Sixers in the first half of the […]

The Good And The (Mostly) Bad Of The Sixers Center City Arena


I woke up this morning and checked Twitter, because I’m a typical gen-z phone junkie whose first instinct is to check his phone the second his peepers open. With my eyes still blurry and adjusting to the light of my phone (I have a problem), I got my first glimpse of what was going to […]

The Sixers Offseason Plan


With the NBA offseason set to begin here on the last day of the month of Kyle Schwarber (patent pending), Daryl Morey and the Sixers don’t have many big splashes to make in free agency as it currently stands. After James Harden so graciously opted out of his $47 million player option for this season, […]

The Phillies Are Royally Screwed


I’m not going to sugarcoat this. I will not try to convince anyone of anything good. If you came here looking for any sort of hope for the Phillies this summer, you’ve come to the wrong place. On today, June 26, with the Phillies three games above .500 and 2.5 games back of the last […]

De’Anthony Melton Is A Perfect Fit


Leading up to the draft, it was essentially a foregone conclusion that Daryl Morey would trade the Sixers first-round pick for a more established role player. There were a ton of rumors floating around about the possibility of Morey trying to recreate the 2018 Houston Rockets by acquiring Eric Gordon with that pick, and then […]

Recreating the 2018 Houston Rockets Isn’t My Favorite Idea


Daryl Morey, the Sixers President of Basketball Operations, is one of the most aggressive front office men in basketball. If he believes that something will work, he’s been known to do anything he can to get it done. This was the case in February, when the Sixers acquired James Harden.   Now, with the draft […]

A Fan Can Hope: Far-Fetched Sixers Offseason Targets


For the past few offseasons, Sixers fans like myself have day-dreamed of landing a big name free agent. Despite throwing their names in the hats of the LeBron James, Jimmy Butler, and even Kawhi Leonard sweepstakes, they’ve landed none of those top players.   Instead, over the past five seasons, the Sixers have dealt out […]

Ranking The Best Possible Philly Sports Documentaries


With the recent news of a multi-part, Derek Jeter “Last Dance style” documentary coming out in two months, it got me thinking: what parts of Philly sports history deserve to be told in a national spotlight? (It also got me thinking that if Derek Jeter played for any other team but the Yankees, ESPN would […]

A Painful Philly Sports Roundup


Here is my pitch for a city-wide slogan regarding the Philadelphia sports teams: Philly sports, where the hope is plentiful, but the pain and suffering is endless. That’s the kind of Tuesday it was in the Delaware Valley.   The day had every bit of predictable frustration you could possibly imagine. The Phillies played way […]
