ST PADDY'S HOLIDAY EDITION of Hoagie Mouth - sure you're hearing this today, nursing your Guiness hangover like you were beaten with a shillelagh...but we kept at it for you folks!

We jump right in and discuss all things WBC - on the night of the championship no less (editors note - congrats to Venezuela!) . We discuss a NOICE performance by Nola, even if it was a traitorous appearance for Italy against the US and A. And we kinda basked in the postseason / championship vibe around the whole deal. Good to have exciting baseball in early March!

And then it's on to the Eagles - who have been busy in making "little" moves here and there. An undisciplined but high upside corner? BRING HIM ON. Someone named MUNDT? You know I'm all about that. And of course, we are twiddling our thumbs waiting for the NFL draft. Join us for a very special episode that night!

And we spent about 60 seconds on the Sixers. Time to get healthy or go home, buds. Next week I'll get the Flyers talk going. My prediction for the postseason? Flyers IN and Sixers OUT.

We may have done it again...as a matter of fact we KNOW we did it again, dear Hoagie Mouth faithful. We covered all FOUR teams in less than 90 minutes. Why do it we do it? For the people, duh you dummy!

First up - we cover the FLURRY of activity around NFL free agency. Not much on the acquisition front to report - but we have some fan favorites who are now former Eagles. Nakobe, Blankenship and Phillips are all gone. Still alive, but dead to me. Howie is planning some moves no doubt, but those will be in the draft and some salary cap sacrificial lambs. On to April's draft!

Next up - the Sixers WIN but at what cost? Maxey out for three more weeks. Now Oubre out again. And Joel....man, who knows. Mike's not feeling good feelings about their chances in the postseason. If they even get there.

The Flyers - similar. We miss Brink but welcome a BUMP...but let's see if we can keep a semblance of a season alive. Gotta win tonight - and it's a tough and improbable climb to the playoffs from here. Damn.

We close out the show celebrating The Jesus Lizard signing with us for a few more years. Best rotation in baseball? FIGHT ME.

In this day and age, when you can google any darn thing, why in the WORLD would you or COULD you still test positive for PEDs? In BASEBALL fer chrissakes. The most steroid-y problematic league?!? Well whatever, Rojas. I guess it was sort of a good run with the Phillies.

On Hoagie Mouth, we don't shy away from the BIG stories...and we give you our somewhat informed takes on those big moments. Looks like Rojas is gonna fight the suspension, but the Phillies really do have bigger fish to fry. Every time we have a problem like this, I turn to the farm system to focus on a solid prospect. Aidan Miller, looking at you now bub.

Speaking of INFORMED and DENSE takes, Mike gets into loads of analysis regarding possible moves by the Eagles. We talk compensatory picks, the draft, salary cap - YOU NAME IT, we got it in that segment.

Jeff ponders if the suddenly resurgent Flyers will be buying / selling at this week's trade deadline. The jury is out, but we just won 3 in a row at the right time. Let's storm the castle for a wild card spot. Vladar wants it, you can't deny him.

Lastly, we unfortunately tune in to the Sixers / Spurs game. Another insane blowout loss at home. We have a wellness check going on Mike. Will keep you posted.

We are still down TWO sports from actually playing real games. That means there's always time to get ourselves WORKED UP about all sorts of things. No actual baseball happening? Let's interview Bryce Harper and see what he's dissatisfied about today! Eagles OTA's still months away? Well, then let's see if AJ Brown has made a social media post! Honestly, we're exhausted by it, but the ink continues to be written.

But here on HOAGIE MOUTH - we try to keep it to the REALLY REAL, along with Foreigner karaoke. Tune in to Bob, Mike and Jeff as we cover all of the sports. That's right ALL OF THEM, no matter if they are on ice or on the hardwood or the grass or the turf. Comprehensive, that's us.

Tune in to listen to Jeff figure out how close we are to 200 shows. It's happening, people.

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.

Wild NOOZ day in Philly yesterdee! And we are frankly, just kinda stunned and saddened to learn that Jeff Stoutland has decided to leave his post as the OL coach for the Eagles. 13 years - and so many eras - each of which was marked with OL excellence for the Birds. We hate it, we loathe it, it's NOT A GOOD SIGN and we hope this will work out. We also touch on the lack of clarity around Big Vic (ed note, right after recording, it was announced that Vic will be the DC for next year at least) . Is there smoke AND OR FIRE? And then finally we discuss the OC move to hire Sean Mannion...and baby, we will just have to see how that pans out. Here's hoping.

AND STILL THERE'S NOOZ - Jared McCain, who had a SPARKLING start last year in his rookie season (cut short by season ending injury), is now on the OKC Thunder. We loved his personality, his painted nails and his clutch shooting. But it was ultimately not to be. A first and three seconds ain't nothing in a return haul.

Flyers? Hardly knew 'ers!

Folks, we are chock full o takes this week - a bit of a long one but we cover ALL 4 sportz for Philadelphia fans. That's right, we jump RIGHT IN to the Sixers and try to sort out what we're seeing from Joel. He looks good right? It's not an illusion? Here's hoping nothing breaks when he comes down from jumping in the air six inches to dunk.

NEXT UP it's a live look in at the - gasp! - REELING Flyers as they attempt to right the ship. A TK HATTIE was spoilt by a loss...yesterday they had to pull Ersson...at least Vladar is back...WE NEED DEFENSEMENS. And a better power play (scored a couple lately but not enough).

And then right into the latest drama (Ed note - now resolved with Sean Mannion's hire) of the Eagles OC search. Remember MC Search? From 3rd Bass? He was a great rapper.

And finally, we begin to see what COULD happen with the Phillies. Perhaps they have some prospect talent that could break into the bigs this year. Do we NEED that to happen, or are we THINKING it could happen? Two distinct things. One thing's for sure, if you're looking to be a MLB level talented 22 year old in the minors, I hope you're ready to get the call up in 8 years baby!

Proud to say it. Went round the horn on this one. Did ALL FOUR Philadelphia sports teams and we liked it. What kinda era are we in? Championship / near championship? Or just typical Philly "almost got there" sorta second/third place vibes?

Gosh, I don't know the answer to these questions, but we certainly tried on Hoagie Mouth. First up it's the Phillies as the off-season starts to come into full focus. We did what we did, are we done? How much of this is "runnin it back" / definition of insanity or is it the RIGHT CREW to get us over the hump? Welp, pitchers and catchers in like 3.5 weeks in Florida chums.

Next it's the Eagles and their search for an OC. As time marches on, the pickings get more slim. But will it be Jim Bob Cooter in the end? Feels like a Dukes of Hazzard episode. In hindsight, that show didn't age well.

Then it's the Sixers who are giving off "maybe we're friends MAYBE we're more than that" energy and it's hard to know where we stand. Big win in OT last night and JoJo nets a trip dub. Let's see if "sustainable" is in the cards.

Lastly, the Flyers GOTTA get it together. Lost the last one after being up 3-0 in the second. WTF. As the trade deadline approaches, let's think defensemen and a #2 goalie. Yup, we got goalie problems again.

Good lord, we hoped. We hoped that the Eagles would be able to get that ship RIGHTED. We thought, maybe, just MAYBE, Patullo would find his playoff legs and give us the Eagles offensive performance of our DREAMS...but as Meek Mill observed, that can soon be NIGHTMARES. Eagles, kaput, at the hands of an undermanned (and much better coached) Niners squad. Brock gets his revenge. Sigh.

But Patullo's gone! So who do we like for OC? We assess the philosophical fit for this org, someone who can mesh with Nick but at the same time, be strong enough to be "not Nick" when the moment calls for it. Let's get a genius, either a proven entity or an up-and-comer who's got a definite style and approach. One that - frankly - needs to challenge Jalen Hurts and how he's adjusting to the game plan. Next year folks.

THEN - we cut over to the Sixers, playing .500 ball as per usual. But there are moments to get excited about. Are they sellers at the deadline? BUYERS? Do they have what it takes to make that playoff push? Each week, Mike starts to let himself believe a little bit more. We're here for him.

Flyers on a stinky stretch of losing....let's see if this week can get that turned around. Developing SOME SORT of power play would be great, guys. Whomever they have on the coaching staff who's accountable for PPs....oh man I hope they don't live near Kevin Patullo and have an egg allergy.

Man, the production values continue to improve here at Hoagie Mouth HQ. We strive to bring you the most SOLID Philadelphia sports content AROUND. What are you gonna do, listen to OTHER Philly sports pods? With what, local RADIO people? You already get to hear them on Instagram. C'mon now. We're a pod for, and by, the PEOPLE.

First up - a live look in at the hottest current Philly team, the Flyers. We check in with the Ducks and count the BOOS that rained down on Cutter everytime he got NEAR the puck. Zegras, en fuego. Wish he got the hattie. But man, this team is starting to jell, and there are lots of weapons out there. Brink and Drysdale, hope you guys are ok man. Need y'all back.

Up next - are we LIMPING or are we SPRINGING into the playoffs, Eagles? We shall see as we welcome - it seems like for the 5th time in as many years? - the Niners to the Linc. Are we gonna get a rested and in sync offense that will just overwhelm a dinged up SF squad? Or is it gonna AGAIN land on the defense to be the great defense that they are to put us in the winning column? Jeff is heading to the game and will get some live audio going...listen to next week's exciting episode for more.

And then bing bam boom it's a quick Sixers segment to wrap things up. Mike still wonders if it's sustainable, and maybe he feels better about this team even more than last week. Some games left before the halfway mark - let's see if VJ can keep up his blazing play and Maxey can keep shootin for that MVP spot.
