Tyrese Maxey stepped up on the biggest stage at the biggest time. After what looked like another disappointing ending to the season, Maxey miraculously scores seven points in the last 30 seconds of the game to force the Knicks into OT where the Sixers pulled out on top to steal a game in New York. Deja Vu? All Sixers fans probably felt the same way entering the last minute of the Sixers game. When Mcbride hit the free throw line jumper with 30 seconds left, plenty of Sixers fans probably turned their TV’s off and reflected on another early exit from the playoffs with another uninspired perform ..read more

At the beginning of this past season it was thought that the Flyers would struggle. As they are a rebuilding team look for a new direction under the leadership of newly appointed General Manager Danny Briere and President Keith Jones. But after a strong middle of the season the Flyers found themselves in a playoff spot for the majority of the season. Until it all fell apart in the last month of the season. The major question for this offseason is where does the team go from here. The Flyers do not have that many players who are going to become free agents on July 1st. As the Flyers signed many ..read more

After suffering their first loss of the 2024 MLS Season, Philadelphia Union players and fans shared their frustrations. However, do some comments from players show a divided locker room? The Union did something last Saturday that is very rare. They lost at home while at full strength. While it ultimately took a superb strike from Real Salt Lake to take all 3 points, it didn’t improve the taste in Union players’ mouths. Reeling from their first defeat of the season, Union players seemed more verbally frustrated than we have seen in years past. Is there a divide forming in the Union locker room ..read more

After his scoreless inning streak finally ended at 32, what’s next for the Phillies’ crafty lefty?   Make no mistake about it, Ranger Suarez is not a number three. At least not on most teams in Major League Baseball. Through six starts this season the Phillies’ left-hander is 5-0 with a 1.32 ERA in 41 innings pitched. In yet another dominant start on Saturday night, Suarez finally relinquished a run, the first in 32.2 consecutive innings.  Suarez has always been a fascinating pitcher from the time he broke out as a hybrid reliever/starter role in 2021. A lovable lefty with an unflapp ..read more

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. Outside of the first game of the season against the Braves, Alvarado has been outstanding this year. The Phillies have been very clear dating back to the Gabe Kapler era that a solidified closer is not necessarily something that they believe ..read more

LaSalle University’s Enrollment is Down Nearly 28% Since 2019. The Plan Back Has a Significant Role for Sports.

Since then, LaSalle basketball has been trying ..read more

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. It will keep him in Philadelphia through 2029. More than anything, what this extension does is give the Eagles an identifiable Super Bowl window. They are being spoiled with an abnormally long one. What the Brown Extension Accomplishes Brown will only be 27 by the time ..read more
