anyone else going to Phillies open scrimmage?

my latest newsletter: I’m ready for Red October and for NFL Week 4.

here’s a question… is it preferable if both the Reds AND Mets win today? A Reds win with a Mets loss clinches the final Wild Card spot for Cincy and knocks out New York. The Reds would then have nothing to play for on Sunday/it would be a hangover game and the Phillies need them to sweep Milwaukee.

I got Reds-Brewers on one TV and Rocky IV on the other. I am ready for playoff baseball.

this is the last Phillies game ever for these City Connect uniforms, right? they were all for two-year stints I believe.

phenomenal pull-quote that Substack made from today’s newsletter: open.substack.com/pub/broadstr...

Anyone interested in an Eagles mailbag this week before the Birds face Tampa Bay on Sunday? If I receive a couple questions, I'll put something together for @bleedgreennation.bsky.social...

Masterful gambit, Jonathan Gannon

Very funny to watch the fraud, Jonathan Gannon larding up on a soft schedule to maybe squeak into the playoffs while the honorable Shane Steichen turns Daniel Jones into an actually good QB.

It’s time for the Eagles to exorcise their Buccaneers demons by @shamus.bsky.social www.bleedinggreennation.com/philadelphia...

This is a beautiful week to get MLB.TV for free through T-Mobile. I’m locked in!!!!

I hate the Buccaneers. Requiem for the Vet. for @bleedgreennation.bsky.social:

Imagine telling me, like, 8 years ago that Carson Wentz would be playing Aaron Rodgers in Ireland. I’d be there 8 Guinness deep currently.

I wrote about the Sixers, nostalgia and where fan interest in the team currently stands: open.substack.com/pub/broadstr...

I think a Phillies-Cubs NLCS would be cool vibes before they get stomped into dirt

PHILS

Edmundo Sosa will have a lore-creating, championship-altering moment next month.

Eagles need to trade for a pass rusher ASAP

inspired by @baumann.bsky.social and seeing Mark Ruffalo rock a Brian Dawkins jersey at the Linc on Sunday, I ranked the 20 best throwback/vintage Eagles jerseys to wear for @bleedgreennation.bsky.social:

My latest newsletter: Checking in on the other NFC East teams after three weeks… open.substack.com/pub/broadstr...

you know I had to do it to ‘em

CJ Gardner-Johnson was an integral part of two Eagles Super Bowl appearances who brought tenacity and ball-hawking skills to Philly. I also think it’s very telling that he’s about to switch teams for the fifth time since 2022.

I wrote about Jordan Davis, his Brandon Graham-like developmental curve and how his big season goes beyond that blocked kick: open.substack.com/pub/broadstr...

Wanted to brain storm on here. Thinking about getting back into the audio/podcast game after going back to full-time freelance. What type of stuff would people be interested in? 25-ish minute pods 2x per week? Super-short daily pods? Simply reels/TikToks? The game’s changed since I last did it.

I’m still juiced from yesterday, man

“I’m more scared of the team that blew a 19-point lead.”

watching all the reaction videos to the blocked kick is awesome

woke up covered in blocked kicks

HE DONT MAKE THAT ONE EITHER

I collapsed in my aisle at the linc

Eagles offense getting out of the mud

20 minutes ago Hurts was 4 of 8 for 17 yards. He's now 14 of 20 for 148 yards and 2 TDs. Throwing the ball is good and fun.

Fred Johnson SZN!!!

Incredible play from Davis that he does NOT make last year

You throw. ALL. NIGHT.

“They score right after half and it’s a one-score game,” he said as his wife packed her bags.

This makes Brian Johnson look like Bill Walsh

elsewhere in South Philly…

new story coming this week 🦅🦅🦅🦅
