We take a break from the Philly sports world and lamenting about the Carson Wentz trade and state of the Eagles this week to do something fun and different - a fantasy draft of players from sports movies.  Mike is joined by his friend Peter and his brother Dave as they draft a roster of players across famous football, basketball, hockey and baseball movies.  Listen as they breakdown the roster spots they need to fill, eligibility, and dive into the draft itself, before debating who did the best job accumulating talent.  Who would you take with the number 1 overall pick?  Who do you think drafted the best team?  Follow the podcast on Twitter @95NorthPodcast and send feedback to [email protected].
