Brandon Brooks Suffers a Torn Achilles!!!!
June 16, 2020 04:03 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MBBrandon Brooks of the Philadelphia Eagles, torn his Achilles and will miss the season. This is a brutal loss for Doug Pederson, Carson Wentz, Miles Sanders, and the gang. How will they fix this hole? Matt Pryor? Jason Peters? Looking into Free Agency? There is a ton to figure out now when it comes to this offensive front. I am most concerned if one more injury occurs. I don't see how they will be able to hold up if that occurs.

Is Carson Wentz Appreciated Enough?
June 14, 2020 18:18 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MBIt is okay to criticize Carson Wentz, QB of the Philadelphia Eagles, but I don't think it's fair to never bring up the positives. I don't think he is appreciated enough in Philly and around the national NFL media. He gets destroyed for his injuries and fumbling issues. That is a FAIR thing to bring up, but let's not just forget what he CAN do! Check out my sponsor! Orbit Energy & Power: www.orbitenergy.us or Call (800) 836-3987

June 12, 2020 17:08 - 26 minutes - 24.5 MBThe NBA is in the process of returning and Joel Embiid spoke to Lauren Rosen about his mentality heading into the back stretch.

Fletcher Cox, Brandon Brooks, and Brandon Graham. All of them obviously had great careers to this point, but let's not act as if they are still young. Will they be able to produce at a high level?

June 08, 2020 04:19 - 34 minutes - 31.2 MBI looked into Reuben Franks' piece on NBC Sports Philadelphia discussing some of his 10 random Philadelphia Eagles observations. 1. Carson Wentz vs Dak Prescott's Weapons. 2. Jim Schwartz' defense since he has been here 3. Zach Ertz dominance 4. No RBs running over 1000 yards in 4 years combined under Doug Pederson 5. Greg Ward vs Mack Hollins.... Check out my sponsor! Orbit Energy & Power: www.orbitenergy.us or Call (800) 836-3987
Is it Ridiculous to Think the Sixers Can Make Some Noise?
June 06, 2020 17:41 - 26 minutes - 23.9 MBThe Philadelphia Sixers have been a very frustrating team this season and clearly they have underachieved. Is it ridiculous to think they can make some noise when the NBA returns? Ben Simmons was able to get healthy. Joel Embiid and Al Horford were both able to rest..... How far can the 76ers go?

June 05, 2020 02:16 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBThe NBA Board of Governors accepted the NBA's proposal to return for the season/playoffs. The league is looking for a way to give home teams an advantage and let me tell you... wow are some of them terrible concepts! Check out my sponsor!

Would You Rather: Lose Early So Brett Brown Gets Fired or Compete in the Playoffs
June 03, 2020 16:31 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MBYou have 2 options: 1. The Philadelphia Sixers lose early just so Brett Brown gets fired. 2. Compete, see where they go, and Brett's future is up in the air. What one would you choose? Check out my sponsor! Orbit Energy & Power: www.orbitenergy.us or Call (800) 836-3987
MLB Players Counter the Owners! Will We See a "50 Game" Season?
June 02, 2020 17:44 - 27 minutes - 24.9 MBThe MLB players countered the owners' proposal with one of their own. They want 114 games, the ability to sit out, and more. The problem? They are basing the prorated salaries off of the March agreement which the owners are clearly not going to accept. The league stepped in and essentially said, if you two can't figure it out..... there will be about a 50 game season with the march agreement! Interesting.... Check out my sponsor!

How Long are the Leashes for Carson Wentz, Doug Pederson, & Jim Schwartz?
June 01, 2020 00:59 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MBAn ESPN article came out talking about how married each NFL team is to their QB. Carson Wentz was 4th on the list. So I dove into the list and how long the leashes are for Carson Wentz, Doug Pederson, and Jim Schwartz! Check out my sponsor! Orbit Energy & Power: www.orbitenergy.us or Call (800) 836-3987
The NBA Plans to Return July 31st
May 30, 2020 17:26 - 24 minutes - 22 MBAdam Silver and the NBA Board of Governors discussed a target date of July 31st for return. There will be another call next week to confirm more details and to properly choose a plan in terms of structure. It's nice to see a date on the table even though that is still about 2 months away.

Eagles Don't Need Another Running Back, Jalen Reagor's Versatility, & Andre Dillard's Tape
May 29, 2020 15:41 - 28 minutes - 25.6 MBThe Philadelphia Eagles are looking for another running back. Carlos Hyde is no longer available, Devonta Freeman turned down money from the Seahawks, and LeSean McCoy rumors are emerging. It's okay if the Birds don't get anyone and utilize some undrafted running backs. Also, I dive into Jalen Reagor's versatility and compare what he can bring to the table stats wise to.... Nelson Agholor! Tra Thomas recently broke down Andre Dillard's tape and it leaves me optimistic! Check out my sponsor! ...
The NHL's "Return To Play" Plan Impacts the Flyers! | Relating it to the Awful MLB Owners
May 27, 2020 04:01 - 30 minutes - 27.5 MBGary Bettman spoke to the media about the NHL's Return to Play Plan and I am very impressed with their idea. It's not the most perfect concept in the world as it is a little gimmicky at times, but ultimately, I think it will work and it makes sense. It actually gives an advantage to the Philadelphia Flyers so hey, why complain? I compare the NHL to the disgusting proposal by the MLB owners. STOP BEATING AROUND THE BUSH!!! Check out my sponsor!

If the Phillies Are Going to Succeed in this Shortened Season....
May 26, 2020 04:01 - 33 minutes - 31 MBIf the MLB returns and the season is significantly shortened, what 5 players on the Philadelphia Phillies need to step up? Who will bring this team to at least be in the conversation of playoffs? Aaron Nola? Bryce Harper? and who else?.... Check out my sponsor! Orbit Energy & Power: www.orbitenergy.us
Did Gabe Kapler Get a Fair Shake with the Phillies?!
May 24, 2020 16:03 - 25 minutes - 22.9 MBI want to continue some of these hilarious debates that 94.1 WIP discussed this past week. My second favorite topic was about Gabe Kapler. Did he get a fair shake in Philadelphia? I definitely did not like his personality at all and that played a major role in why I couldn't stand him. With that being said, I totally understand that most of his in-game decisions were analytically made. Check out my sponsor! Orbit Energy & Power: www.orbitenergy.us
Was Sam Hinkie a Good GM?
May 22, 2020 17:13 - 28 minutes - 26.4 MB94.1 WIP is putting to rest a few debates this week and I believe it's a genius strategy for a time like this. In this podcast, I look at Sam Hinkie's tenure with the Philadelphia Sixers and voice my opinion on if I believe he did a great job or not. Spoiler alert, he did a FANTASTIC job. Acquiring superstar talent to get out of the 8th seed. Bravo Sam, that's EXACTLY what you did! Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid are pieces to build around for years to come. 50+ win seasons and consistent playoff...
Doug Pederson Shows Confidence in Andre Dillard? & the Offense Won't Change to the "Naked Eye"
May 20, 2020 14:52 - 30 minutes - 27.5 MBDoug Pederson spoke with the media via zoom and discussed a couple different topics. The biggest takeaway was showing confidence in Andre Dillard over Jason Peters. I'm still not completely buying that, though. Also, we will not see changes to the offense with the "naked eye." Huh... interesting. I would hope so. Last year's offense SUCKED! All that and more! Check out my sponsors!

May 19, 2020 14:46 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MBThe players around the NBA all watched the Last Dance and thought about how they can be like Mike!

Bryce Harper Agrees with Blake Snell, MLB Players will Continue to Fight for Money
May 15, 2020 04:34 - 30 minutes - 27.7 MBBlake Snell is publicly saying he will not play if the MLB does not pay the players the proper amount of money. Bryce Harper stated that he agrees with Snell. Where does this leave the league if high-profile players continue to fight for what they believe in. Both parties are going to have to come to an agreement and take a hit. Check out my sponsors!

The 1-Year Anniversary of Kawhi Leonard's Game 7 Shot........
May 13, 2020 04:56 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MBIt is the one year anniversary of Kawhi Leonard's buzzer beater game winning shot in game 7 against the Philadelphia Sixers. It was heart breaking during the time, but I am doing well now. Sadly, since there are no sports, it's time to embrace this play. How did this change the Sixers considering where they are now?

May 06, 2020 04:17 - 26 minutes - 24.1 MBCarson Wentz spoke to the media with the Philadelphia Eagles. He was bothered with 2 million Jalen Hurts questions. Awesome job, front office. JJ Arcega-Whiteside was apparently so injured he couldn't walk and Alshon Jeffery might be a "major" part of the offense! Check out my sponsors!

If You Could Choose One Sport to Return
May 05, 2020 04:00 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MBIf you had the choice to bring back one sport, what one would it be? Would you sacrifice the rest of the summer if it leads to the NFL starting on time? Think about the Philadelphia Eagles, Flyers, Sixers, and Phillies. Who has the best chance to compete for a title? Would it even matter or is it just about your favorite sport?

May 01, 2020 20:39 - 27 minutes - 24.8 MBThe Philadelphia Eagles sure how a hectic week after the NFL Draft. I don't believe a word Howie Roseman and Doug Pederson says.

I Will Never Support the Logic Behind Drafting Jalen Hurts!
April 28, 2020 02:01 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MBI will never see why the Eagles' front office decided to draft Jalen Hurts in the second round of the NFL Draft. They just committed to Carson Wentz, paying him over $100M guaranteed. I don't trust a word that comes out of Howie Roseman and Doug Pederson. The only way this would make a little bit of sense is if they don't believe in Wentz anymore. That's it. A gadget guy? Saving salary? Insurance if Wentz gets coronavirus? You name it, the excuses are coming out of fans trying to rationalize ...
More on Jalen Hurts, Marquise Goodwin Trade, & Rounds 4-7
April 26, 2020 06:11 - 35 minutes - 32.1 MBThe Philadelphia Eagles and Howie Roseman had a good third day of the NFL Draft, but I will not be able to get over what they did at pick 53, taking Jalen Hurts. It will never make sense to me. It was clear their mindset throughout the later picks was to acquire SPEED. The Birds also acquired Marquise Goodwin from the 49ers!
WTF, THE EAGLES DRAFT JALEN HURTS IN THE 2ND ROUND!!!
April 25, 2020 06:01 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MBHowie Roseman, Doug Pederson, and the Philadelphia Eagles draft Jalen Hurts in the second round of the NFL Draft. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!! This is ridiculous and so dumb. This isn't to question Carson Wentz. There was too much on the board and an impact player was available!!! Instead, they want to get a Taysom Hill type guy who will play VERY limited snaps? Awful, flat out awful. Raven's Brew Coffee: https://store.ravensbrewcoffee.com/
The Eagles Draft Jalen Reagor!
April 24, 2020 06:25 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MBIn the first round of the NFL draft, Howie Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles selected Jalen Reagor. Fans were not happy because they didn't go up and trade for CeeDee Lamb and they also didn't choose Justin Jefferson. It stings that Lamb went to the Dallas Cowboys, but the overreaction is ridiculous. Raven's Brew Coffee: https://store.ravensbrewcoffee.com/
What Will the Eagles & Howie Roseman do the in NFL Draft?
April 22, 2020 20:06 - 26 minutes - 24.3 MBThe Philadelphia Eagles currently have the 21st pick in the NFL Draft and I question what Howie Roseman is going to do. There are so many different scenarios on the table and so many directions this team can head towards. I am so intrigued.
"The Last Dance" Episodes 1 & 2
April 21, 2020 04:35 - 26 minutes - 24.1 MBI give my reaction to episodes 1 and 2 of "The Last Dance." It was great to see Michael Jordan's mentality and approach to the game of basketball. It literally gives me the goosebumps. That era of Chicago Bulls basketball was SOMETHING ELSE.
After Seeing Christian McCaffrey's Deal, Will It Be Worth Paying Miles Sanders?
April 19, 2020 04:16 - 26 minutes - 24.3 MBAfter seeing Christian McCaffrey's deal, is it worth paying Miles Sanders that much money down the road when the time comes? I feel the Philadelphia Eagles can find other pieces to do the job. It's not a knock on him or any other running back, it's how the position is viewed in 2020.
If I'm Howie Roseman, I'm Trading for Odell Beckham Jr!
April 17, 2020 06:17 - 33 minutes - 30.2 MBThe Minnesota Vikings are in talks with the Cleveland Browns for Odell Beckham Jr. Apparently, the asking price is around a 2nd and 5th rounder for the 2021 draft! Not even this year! If I am Howie Roseman, I am picking up the phone and trying to get him on the Philadelphia Eagles. Carson Wentz and Doug Pederson could totally utilize him on the offense. It's a risk because of his personality, but a risk I am taking a chance on!
Looking Back at the Bryce Harper Signing
April 11, 2020 09:00 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MBIt's time to look back at Bryce Harper signing with the Philadelphia Phillies. What a huge impact for the city and the organization. Baseball fans like to claim he is overrated and overpaid, but that's laughable to me. Look at the contracts being signed around the MLB right now, he might even be under paid!
If I Had to Rank the Philadelphia Sports Teams By Love
April 10, 2020 02:23 - 30 minutes - 27.6 MBToday is more of a kick back and tell stories type of podcast. In this episode I rank the 4 major Philadelphia Sports teams. Eagles, Flyers, Sixers, and Phillies! In what order did they fall?
After 4 Seasons, How Great is Doug Pederson & Jim Schwartz?
April 08, 2020 04:47 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MBDoug Pederson and Jim Schwartz is the duo for the Philadelphia Eagles and has been for the last 4 seasons. In Pederson's rookie season, the Birds wen't 7-9, but that doesn't hold too much stock and the Super Bowl run was absolutely magnificent, but the last 2 years were disappointing. He is a tremendous leader and that's something you can't teach. I am not going to be satisfied if year in and year out we are talking about 4-6 or 5-7 records before digging out of a hole. How about they stop pu...
After 4 Seasons, How Great is Carson Wentz?
April 04, 2020 18:18 - 30 minutes - 28.1 MBCarson Wentz has been the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles for four seasons now. He has been through a roller coaster during that time, but I still really believe he can deliver a championship to this city. In this podcast, I look at: - Carson's play through 2016-2019. - At age 28, what will his development look like? - The blessing of Carson is also his curse.
The Eagles Should NOT Move Up in the Draft, Zach Ertz Trade, & First Place in the NFC?!
April 03, 2020 01:56 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MBThe Philadelphia Eagles should not move up in the draft to acquire a top tier wide receiver. I think they can land a very very good receiver at 21 and still keep other assets. Also, I don't understand this obsession with trading Zach Ertz. It is totally possible to utilize him and Dallas Goedert. This has turned into a tight end league. Finally, Mike Greenberg of ESPN believes the Birds will win the NFC. I can't see that happening AT ALL.
Leon Rose & the New York Knicks are Interested in Elton Brand
April 02, 2020 04:13 - 22 minutes - 20.7 MBIt was reported in the New York Daily News that Leon Rose and the New York Knicks are interested in the General Manager of the Philadelphia Sixers, Elton Brand. There is still time left on his contract, but the Knicks thought maybe he would be fired this off-season. It doesn't seem to be the case, I can't imagine that happening. I support Elton Brand. I think he is aggressive and has a ton of value. The over reaction to a bad move is similar to what fans think about Carson Wentz and Ben Simmo...
What Makes "The Process" Successful?
April 01, 2020 04:01 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MBWhen looking at the Philadelphia Sixers, what makes "The Process" successful? I believe acquiring Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid combined with making playoff runs each year is enough. The point of the process was to get out of the 8th seed and to stop drafting in the middle of the pack. I personally don't think the only way it's successful is a title. If the organization is in a position to make legit noise every year than it worked.

The Classic NFL QB Tier Debate!
March 30, 2020 01:41 - 26 minutes - 24.3 MBWith no sports going on, of course, I decided to do the classic tier system placing each NFL quarterback in a category. I had 5 total categories: elite, great, good, average, and bad. Is Tom Brady still Elite? Where is Cam Newton now that he is in the news and a free agent? How about our guy Carson Wentz? Did my bias come into play? All that and more on this podcast!
Howie Roseman Speaks About Alshon Jeffery & Roger Goodell Says NFL Draft is a Go!
March 28, 2020 07:07 - 26 minutes - 23.8 MBHowie Roseman, General Manager of the Philadelphia Eagles, spoke to the media about the current state of the team. He mentioned Alshon Jeffery, the wide receivers, Avonte Maddox, and more!
Missing Phillies Opening Day, Bryce Harper, & Aaron Nola!!
March 26, 2020 20:46 - 26 minutes - 24.5 MBThe Philadelphia Phillies WOULD have played their opening day game today and it truly is sad. It was a chance to actually beat the Miami Marlins in a series. Is that even possible? Who knows and apparently it will take some time until we ever find out. I wanted to see Aaron Nola on the bump with Bryce Harper's lettuce blowing in the wind. I wanted to see Joe Girardi in the correct pinstripes. I tell a story about last year's opening day and I also look into the MLB's future decision on double...
Eagles Sign Nickell Robey-Coleman, Darius Slay's Contract Structure, & NFL Draft 7 Days Long?!
March 26, 2020 02:28 - 28 minutes - 25.6 MBThe Philadelphia Eagles sign cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman to a 1 year deal. This is a really solid move by Howie Roseman to add another corner, who is experienced. He plays the slot so this will potentially move Avonte Maddox to the outside on the other side of Darius Slay. What will happen if they add another DB in the draft? What about Rasul Douglas' time with the team? Is Sidney Jones the backup? Also, I discuss Slay's contract construction.
Yannick Ngakoue? Zach Ertz Trade? Missed on Robby Anderson & Breshad Perriman!
March 25, 2020 03:49 - 25 minutes - 23.1 MBIf I was the Philadelphia Eagles, I would trade for Yannick Ngakoue, but it seems like since Robby Anderson and Breshad Perriman are now off the board, the focus is on receivers in the draft. Also, I am fascinated by this zach ertz trade conversation. Why all of a sudden are people ready to ship him out of the city?
