You get to roll right into Thursday against the Giants.” — Matt Rogers14:50 - “I don’t usually see player props on carries, but I guaran-damn-tee y’all that we’re not going to see 6 carries from Saquon Barkley at MetLife.” — Matt Rogers16:40 - Will Nakobe Dean make his season debut on Thursday night?Has Kelee Ringo done enough to hold onto the CB2 job?Will Landon Dickerson be ready to go on Thursday night?“The next 4 weeks you get: at Giants, at Vikings, vs. Giants again, the bye, and then you get the Packers.” — Matt Rogers

“We Can’t Have BBQ Chicken” - Super Bowl Rematch & Week 2 Preview
Matt Rogers and O.J. Spivey from The Philadelphia Tribune/WDAS 105.3 preview the Week 2 Eagles vs. Chiefs “Super Bowl Rematch” and the rest of the Week 2 slate. They give their picks on: PHI @ KC, DEN @ IND, CHI @ DET, ATL @ MIN, TB @ HOU, LAC @ LV. 03:38 - “Often times — as we have seen throughout the Super Bowl era… We’ve seen teams reach the Super Bowl and say ‘Oh yeah. If they just get this or they just do this, that, a third, they can get back.’ And some never get back. And, as we’ve seen, a couple have gone back but they haven’t gotten it done.” — O.J. Spivey04:20 - “It’s not even a guarantee that you’ll even make the playoffs the following season. Every year (and I get these stats directly from the NFL) since 1990 — this even predates the current format of realignment or the 2002 realignment — (free agency, salary cap, etc.): there will always be at least 4 new teams that have made the playoffs who missed the playoffs the previous year.” — O.J. Spivey05:45 - “I always say when I talk about football: the Eli Manning example. All you need is a ticket to the dance and think things can just fall the way they need to and you end up with your team’s colored confetti.” — Matt Rogers09:58 - “Landon Dickerson has been a full participant in practice this week, but he was a little banged up. So that’s going to be a little interesting to see. But, as we saw in the Super Bowl, Chris Jones: he was not a factor at all.” — O.J. Spivey12:05 - “I think it appears as though he [Zadarius Smith] got in a full week of practice and he’s so eager and energetic when he spoke with the media this week. He looks in tremendous shape — by the way. I’d say maybe about up to 25% of the snaps perhaps.” — O.J. Spivey14:20 - “Is it going to be no-step-drop, throw to whoever Adoree Jackson is guarding? Because last week he was BBQ chicken. They were just licking their fingers. They had BBQ dripping all in their stache’ and in their beards.” — Matt Rogers16:20 - “You brought up Ringo. I didn’t want to bring up Ringo, but now that we’ve brought up Ringo, it’s pretty crystal-clear that Ringo’s not the guy. They went and got Jakorian Bennett. They’ve got Adoree out there getting roasted last week and Ringo’s still on the side sticking to just the Special Teams duty. I don’t think I saw Ringo with any snaps.” — Matt Rogers21:05 - “What fans have to realize is that winning teams are not good for the sports-talk business. Sports radio thrives off of losing. Sports radio thrives off of having fans to vent that ‘oh yeah this team sucks’, or ‘fire the coach’, ‘fire this’, ‘get rid of this guy; get rid of that guy.’ When you have a winning team, such as the Eagles and you have an elite superstar, Super Bowl MVP QB in Jalen Hurts, you have nothing left to do but to conjure up from the sublime to the ridiculous.” — O.J. Spivey23:10 - “A.J. is saying all of the right things — for the most part. But you see little inklings here and there. Of course he wants the ball; we all understand that. DeVonta Smith wants the ball. But you see media guys are trying to chip away; trying to get them to say something... A.J. has to be careful… We’re talking about Jalen Carter not taking the bait. A.J. can’t take the bait.” — O.J. Spivey33:28 - “I do think — oddly — somehow, someway that Adoree Jackson is going to find his way hands to having the football in his hands. He’s going to get a lot of opportunities to make it happen, too.” — Matt Rogers35:10 - “If y’all re-watch the run … I don’t mean to throw him under the bus. Adoree, if you’re listening: hey, [this is] tackling fuel. But on that long run to Miles Sanders before the fumble, watch Adoree Jackson on that play.” — Matt Rogers47:30 - “Whether you are a critic of [C.J.] Stroud or not, it’s looking like they are doing him a disservice. And the way that line has been looking — going back from the second round of the playoffs to last week — Stroud might not get through this season healthy if this keeps going. Something has to give.” — O.J. Spivey48:12 - “I think C.J. Stroud made a big mistake. Even if he decided, in his own head, that he wanted to say, ‘I’m him; I’ve figured out the NFL.’ But when you say that … This is a league people are paying mortgages on and their mamas’ mortgages and their cousins’; generational wealth. People like a Todd Bowles will take offense at that. ‘Oh, you’ve figured this out?’” — Matt Rogers• ⁃ 51:31 - “What were they telling Jalen Hurts a few years ago? No more excuses. No more excuses for Justin Herbert. If there is a time where you can slay the dragon, dethrone the champion Kansas City Chiefs. He’s supposed to have his coach now, right? No more excuses.”

"This Isn't Boxing" - Eagles 2025 Training Camp: O.J. Spivey from The Philadelphia Tribune
00:02:18 - “Jalen Hurts just threw a monkey-wrench into all of what society has been taught — or has been programmed, if you will — about what a quarterback should look like; how a quarterback should win.”00:05:00 - “People want to act like Saquon ran for 200 in the Super Bowl. Nobody wants to actually reckon with the reality that the exact narrative they’ve been pushing for Week 1 of the [2025] NFL season is the exact narrative they pushed … ‘If you shut down Saquon …’” - 00:11:00 - “When you watch the team that plays in Philadelphia with the green helmets, do they get over those yellow lines they put on the TV and those goal lines? … I thought that was what the game was about.”00:12:45 - “Last I checked, the Bills run the ‘Tush Push’: this vaunted thing; this unstoppable play that just only Philadelphia can run. Somehow Josh Allen was trying to run it in the game two weeks previous to when the Eagles kicked the Chiefs’ teeth in. And Josh Allen wasn’t getting those first downs.”00:19:48 - “I’d be really shocked if Kelee Ringo isn’t [the starting CB2].”00:22:30 - “I don’t know if they are just maybe smoke-screening a little but or because Mukuba has been out nursing an injury — Cooper DeJean has been getting snaps at safety. I really would not want that.”00:30:55 - Will second-year WR Johnny Wilson make the team?00:43:00 - Will new Phillies closer Jhoan Duran give the Phillies some consistency?00:47:35 - Will the Phillies be able to resign Ranger Suarez?

Pulling Away After the Trade Deadline? - with Frank Klose from 97.3 ESPN Philadelphia & Matt Rogers
01:55 - What is holding the Phillies back from being a consistent team?05:50 - “I think of [Steven] Kwan … You just put him in left [field] and leave him there. That’s nice. That gives them another roster spot essentially because he’d essentially be replacing two players and not just one.”05:55 - “Eugenio Suarez is the big right-handed bat that’s available at the deadline. If I’m the Phillies, I’m still in on him because Alec Bohm is out right now and you don’t know how quickly he’ll be back. I would just get him and figure out the rest later.”10:27 - “To me, the [Alec] Bohm injury is a stark reminder that after next week, you can’t add any more players — period. It’s not like the old days when you could make waiver trades.”11:50 - Which of the available closers actually ends up in Philadelphia at the trade deadline?14:45 - Could the Phillies possibly get OF Byron Buxton from the Minnesota Twins?15:45 - “Watching [Jesus] Luzardo the other night, I think it’s very, very clear… And there is a good camera angle. You can go back and look. When he is pitching in the stretch — meaning runners on base — he is very much tipping his pitches.”18:05 - “I don’t need him [Andrew Painter] to come up this year if it’s not time. Or maybe if he does come up in September, maybe he’s not even starting.”19:05 - “Felix Bautista is out with an injury now so he’s probably not going be moved.”• ⁃ 21:10 - Will the Phillies and Mets keep trading control of the division to a photo-finish?

00:04:10 - “That score doesn’t even do justice to how badly the Chiefs were beaten."00:11:08 - “You probably have to reimagine who Embiid is and what Embiid is from this point in his career.” 00:22:32 - Will the Phillies be able to get Schwarber re-signed before he hits the open market?00:33:50 - What the hell happened at the NFL Draft with Shedeur Sanders? 00:46:20 - “I do think it’s [Eagles RG] Steen’s job to lose.”00:49:35 - “If you’re a Dallas Cowboys fan, your biggest concern [isn’t WR George Pickens] is the offensive line.”01:04:18 - What letter grade would you give to the Eagles’ draft haul?01:09:32 - Do the Pacers have a real shot of going to the NBA Finals?O.J.
