Episode 62: There Is No Joy in Philadelphiaville...
It's been a rough October for Philadelphia. No one is winning, Donny Baseball is back, and now Jalen Hurts joins damn near all of his teammates on the injured list. How do we make it through these doldrums, why with the Sixers of course!!! Yikes. Phillies: Don Mattingly is back, Kevin Long is…

Episode 61: The Phillies and Eagles are Dead
Well, that was a hell of a last hour! The Sixers announced Ariel Hukporti ruptured his Achillies Tendon, the Phillies signed Dave Dombrowski to a lifetime contract, and Lane Johnson just retired. What the hell??? All that, plus me talking about the importance of Curt Flood on the anniversary of…

Episode 60: Hurts, Ertz, Gritty, and My God do the Phillies Need to Win
Congratulations Jalen Hurts. Welcome back Zach Ertz. Happy Birthday to Gritty. Now that all the happiness is out of the way, the Phillies are in their final stretch of the season and desperately need to win two of their final games because they aren't getting much help from the Diamondbacks…

Episode 59: Remember, It's Your Fault Pro Sports Accepts Billions in Gambling Revenue
All of the major pro sports and player's unions sent a letter to gambling regulators throughout the country today to criticize their inability to regulate player safety concerning angry gamblers. It was a laughably tone-deaf response from an industry that has accepted an insane amount of money to...

Episode 58: Kawhi Leonard Legal Breakdown
There is not a whole lot of news this week for the Phillies, Eagles, Flyers, and Sixers, but that doesn't mean there is no news at all to talk about. The Kawhi Leonard Clippers fiasco checks all my boxes as a sports business fan: CBA talk, salary cap circumvention, and the legal process!! Oh…

Episode 57: Eagles 53 and Salary Cap Talk
The big news of the week is the Eagles 53 man roster. I waited to record until we knew the practice squad situation because with most of the roster battles set between the lower level guys, who would stick around was the real story. As for everyone else, I give an update on the salary cap and...
-
Episode 56: No Apologies
The Phillies are being lead into their playoff push by Alec Bohm and Aaron Nola. Some people out there said some pretty mean things about these two over the last 4 months...but we aren't here to talk about the past! The important thing is that they are performing now and we should do absolutely...
-
Episode 55: Not Giving Up Hope, But It's Understandable
Why can't I quit the Phillies? I totally get why people are jumping off the bandwagon. They stink and are infuriating. Plus, giving up and getting mad that people who don't is a great defense mechanism. Mine is to get mad while they play, get bitter afterwards, then wake up and think of how...
-
Episode 54: The Phillies are Who We Thought They Were
The Trade Deadline is now a week in the rear view and the fears that the Phillies didn't do enough have been verified. Turning the roster into a pretzel to accommodate Alec Bohm has also gone predictably poorly. That being said, I never want Luis Arraez to leave. It isn't all Phillies though as...
-
Episode 53: Good Vibes Continue Despite the Phillies
The Sixers kept the positivity train going this week by signing KCP and maybe more importantly, getting rid of Johni Broome, the worst player in NBA history (probably). The Eagles made it even better by not only just returning to our lives, but signing Jalen Carter to a massive (yet cap…

Episode 52: LeBron James and the Kings of the City
LeBron James signed with the Sixers today and continued the total public perception overhaul of the team. We are now firmly on the basketball map. The Sixers aren’t all though. The Eagles still rule the city with stars everywhere. The Phillies have a trade deadline coming up where they need to...
-
Episode 51: Julying About the Eagles
The Flyers are running it back, the Sixers are still in the hunt for LeBron James, the Phillies need help, and it's July so people are finding reasons to get mad about the Eagles. All that being said, I want to talk about the Mile World Record attempt that's going down in London on Saturday.
-
Episode 50: Ranking the Philly GMs
It's not like it's hard to rank the guys who call the shots for out teams. Howie Roseman is in a class by himself as maybe the best decision maker in sports. Like a pitcher with 5 elite offerings, there is nothing he doesn't do well. Danny Briere was the patient one until put his balls on the…

Episode 49: The Sixers are Shockingly BACK
Famous last words, right? I don't care. The Sixers traded for Jaylen Brown in one of the most shocking bits of sports news I can remember. How shocking? Well, I go through some of my personal favorites of the last 20 or so years when the 24/7 media schedule and star reporters make rumors regular...
-
Episode 48: Let's Get You Ready for the Ball, Cinderella!
After a month of life getting in the way, the PFO Podcast is back to catch up on all the Philly wheelings and dealings of June so you can be properly informed for the offseasons to come and a summer of baseball. Here's what I talked about: NEWS Eagles Only DeVonta could get Jalen Hurts line…

Episode 47: It's FINALLY June 1 in the NFL
I recorded this originally on Friday, but then it disappeared. That worked out nicely though considering so much happened in the last few days including the Myles Garrett to the Rams trade just a few minutes before I went live. While I get into the Post June 1 of it all, this week's feature is…

Episode 46: Why Can’t We Talk About (Embiid) Divorce?
There are two distinct sides to the relationship between Joel Embiid and the Sixers. On one side, there are the ones who will stick this through forever through sickness and in health, 'til death do we part. On the other side, the relationship is fractured beyond repair because Embiid has not…

Episode 45: Philly vs Miami
I'm on a vacation with my wife, so instead of shirking either my husbandly or Podcastelry duties, I have combined them into a feature on the Philadelphia vs Miami sports environment. She just so happens to be a Miamian born and raised. While they have college football, we have the Eagles. About…
more -
Episode 44: Requiem for a Team
No, the Flyers and Sixers aren't dead yet. I'm even still decently bullish on the Sixers chances. Why are we eulogizing these teams now? Because anything else past right now is gravy. Both teams were toss ups to make the playoffs, had up and down seasons, and vanquished hated rivals in the first...
-
Episode 43: May the Sports Be With You
It's May 1 and we are shockingly feeling good about all four of our teams right now. Why shockingly? Because we were not feeling that way in April. As of a week ago we were worried about holes with the Eagles roster, the Flyers were in jeopardy of blowing a 3-0 lead to our archrivals, the Sixers...
-
Episode 42: What "Content" Looks Like for Philly GMs
This week on the Philly Front Office Podcast I cover the NFL Draft then bitch about why Dave Dombrowski can't be more like Howie Roseman. Of course, the Sixers and Flyers exist too. How do their front offices rate? I go into all of it. NEWS Phillies Taijuan Gone! Zack Back! Flyers Up 3-1 Missed...
-
Episode 41: The Eagles and the NFL Draft
As we are bombarded with Mock Drafts and Big Boards leading up to Draft Day this Thursday, what the Eagles need, have, and believe sometimes gets lost in the shuffle. In the latest episode of the Philly Front Office Podcast, I do my best to take stock of the Eagles as an organization to see what...
-
Episode 40: The Best Time to Be a Fan
The best time to be a is not when you would think. Journey back to this past season for the Eagles fresh off a Super Bowl... did you have fun? Even the year before, was it fun at any point other than by the 2nd half of the Super Bowl? Yeah, somewhat, but there is too much to lose when you are…

Episode 39: The Jalen Hurts Opinion Spectrum
After ESPN dropped their "bombshell" story on Jalen Hurts being a selfish, anti-team player in need of a new contract, the festering wound of negative Hurts opinions spewed upon the internet with far too many hardly waiting to get their shots in. Haven't you heard that the Super Bowl MVP with the...
-
Episode 38: Desperation Inoculation
Last week, all I wanted to do was talk about the Eagles and this week the Phillies, so naturally, I reversed them Last week was the MLB preview while this week is all about how the Eagles moves so far has made them impervious to desperation for the rest of the spring and summer. Remember when the...
-
Episode 37: It's Baseball Season!!!
Finally, our winter of discontent has ended and I can't believe I feel pretty good about the Phillies. The lineup has its issues, but that pitching staff??? Oh baby!!! Opening Day is set for Thursday, March 26 at 4:10pm against the Texas Rangers and I can't wait. Let's get you all ready for the...
-
Episode 36: Contracts, Contracts, Contracts!
NFL Free Agency may have started, but that didn't stop the Phillies from getting in on the contract action by giving Jesus Luzardo a big ol' extension. I talk about that plus Jordan Davis, Jaelan Phillips, Reed Blankenship, and damnit I'm just realizing as I write this that I completely forgot...
-
Episode 35: The NFL is Ready to Explode
News: Flyers at the trade deadline send Bobby Brink to the Wild Sixers will [cue sinister music] RE-EVALUATE Joel Embiid next week after he already missed 3 games plus how realistic is it for Josh Harris to sell the team? Phillies lose Johan Rojas for half the season, but maybe forever too, why...
-
Episode 34: The Life Cycle of the Franchise Saving Prospect
It's February which means there is simply not a lot of news out there. Sure, the NHL Trade Deadline is near, but nothing has really happened yet; it's Spring Training but we are still a month from real games; the NFL has the Combine but free agency isn't until next month; and then there's the...
-
Episode 33: What We SHOULD Be Talking About
Philly media has been focused on the Eagles offensive coordinator search, the defensive coordinator possibly retiring, Landon Dickerson and Lane Johnson following their O-Line coach out the door, AJ Brown being traded, and always ALWAYS Jalen Hurts. Well, it was all bullshit. As their talking...
-
Episode 32: More Rumsfeld Matrix
I had so much fun applying the Known-Knowns, Known-Unknowns, and Unknown-Unknowns to the Phillies this week I decided to keep doing it with the rest of our teams: The Phillies with performance uncertainty The Eagles with Jalen Hurts hot take artists like Emmanuel Acho The Sixers with their...
-
Episode 31: PANIC! at the Sports Complex
Everyone is panicking. Eagles fans think the sky is falling because Stoutland quit. Phillies fans think the team is going to fall apart. Sixers fans think their owner doesn't care (that one's true). The Flyers have lost 12 of 16. Let's talk about it in this week's feature. News Phillies do…

-
Episode 29 - What Could the Phillies Have Done Differently?
There is no joy in Philly-ville, the mighty Phillies have struck out. Things aren't actually as bad as they seem, but with the Flyers falling, the Phillies failing, and the Eagles wounds still raw, the health of Joel Embiid is the only thing between us and insanity. YIKES News: - Eagles…

Episode 24: Lost in New York, But Ready for Dallas Edition
Things were all good for the Phillies on Sunday, then they went to Citi Field. After an abysmal 2 days in Flushing I am ready to be very mad at this team. I am not giving up, we are still up in the division and firmly in hold of a playoff spot, but yuck. It could not be much worse. Meanwhile…

Episode 23: The Sky is Not, I Repeat, NOT Falling Edition

-
Episode 20: Louie and the Mets
I'm embarrassed to admit it, but one of my best friends is a Mets fan. I know, I know, that's a total betrayal of trust. I promises myself I would only have him on as long as the Phillies were ahead in the standings though. We go through how our teams are doing in the second half, what we need…
