Fanatic Highlights

Brendan opens the discussion by questioning the lack of enthusiasm among fans regarding the Phillies' dominance over weaker teams. Given that the top team in the league is expected to perform well against lower-ranked opponents, one would think this would elicit excitement. The conversation also shifts to a comparison of the impressive performances of Jesus Luzardo and Kyle Schwarber.

 In a celebratory tone, we reflect on the Eagles' ability to continue utilizing the Tush Push strategy in the upcoming season. Additionally, we express our gratitude to Nick Sirianni for his contributions to the team as he signs a new contract, and we look forward to the promising future ahead.

Furthermore, the NFL has announced that players will be allowed to compete in the 2028 Olympics, prompting us to consider which athletes could form a competitive team for the games.
