We are BACK after a quick break (sure, let's say it's Olympic related, why not), and we once again delve into all things Philadelphia Sports. Whether the public demands it or not!

First - we almost live looked in at the Sixers v the Hawks after the All Star Break. And things are...not yet up to game speed for the Sixers. Maxey is starting to plateau out, PG is still suspended, Embiid has a thing with a body part...but VJ wins MVP of the Rising Stars game! That last part is really the only good news. Maybe we shoulda kept Jared McCain. I refuse to look up his solid stats and minutes played on his new team lol.

NEXT - we compare the seemingly similar strife striking squads situation in South Philly. The Phils have a Dombrowski / Harper problem, and the Eagles kinda have an overall AJ Brown problem. We discuss the similarities between to the two - is it really about questionable leadership on the coaching / GM side? Or is it just entitled diva season from the players end of things? Man, I just hope we hang on to these two anchor players, because we need em if we are gonna continue our winning ways.

We promise to be more upbeat next week - if the NEWS ALLOWS IT TO BE.
