It’s been quite an April for the Phillies who vowed to get off to a hot start. The team is keeping that promise, they are 9 games above .500, a milestone that they did not reach until the month of July last season.  One thing that has been noteworthy is that Jose Alvarado seems to be getting the opportunity to close games on a pretty consistent basis.

Just hours before they picked cornerback Quinyon Mitchell with their first-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the Philadelphia Eagles had an extension to make. With three years still left on his deal, the Eagles made A.J. Brown the highest-paid wide receiver in football, giving him a three-year, $96 million extension on April 25.

Doing so means they will complain more about fouls, and we will see the mopey/frustrated version of Joel Embiid ..read more
