This week's edition of Not Another Philly Sports Talk Show takes a look at the Phillies' faster-than-expected progress at the season's unofficial midpoint.
Mike Sielski, David Murphy and Jonathan Tannenwald discuss some of the team's top storylines so far, including Peter Bourjos and Maikel Franco's hot hitting and Aaron Nola's recent struggles on the mond.
There's good news in the farm system too, with more and more attention being paid to top prospect J.P. Crawford. When will be the right time will be for Crawford to come up to the majors?
In the second half of the show, the spotlight turns from South Broad Street to North Broad Street. Temple University announced this week that it's spending $250,000 more of its own money to study the feasibility of an on-campus football stadium at the same time that it's raising tuition and staring at a $22 million deficit in its financial aid budget. Oh, and the school's board of trustees might be about to throw out president Neal Theobald.
What does all that say about Temple's priorities? Mike, Dave and Jon get into that as Temple tries to find a place on college sports' big stage.
