Not Another Philly Sports Talk Show

Longtime Eagles beat writer and current Daily News sports editor Rich Hofmann stops by to talk about the transition to the Carson Wentz era, including a projected timeline for when the rookie will start.

This week's edition of Not Another Philly Sports Talk Show is a special emergency edition recorded after the Eagles' stunning trade to acquire the No. 2 pick in this year's NFL draft from the Cleveland Browns. David Murphy, Mike Sielski and Jonathan Tannenwald break down what the deal means for the Birds now and in the future - and wonder how on Earth the team is going to fill the many holes it still has at other positions on the roster.

The resignation of Sam Hinkie from the 76ers and the death of Flyers founder and chairman Ed Snider are the main talking points on this week's edition of Not Another Philly Sports Talk Show. David Murphy, Mike Sielski and Jonathan Tannenwald get into what each man meant to his respective team, and how Philadelphia sports fans dealt with their very different management styles.

This week's edition of Not Another Philly Sports Talk Show looks back at Villanova's run to glory in the NCAA Tournament, and the epic title game win over North Carolina. David Murphy, Mike Sielski and Jonathan Tannenwald discuss how big of an impact Kris Jenkins' buzzer-beater had on the Philadelphia sports landscape, and what happens to Villanova now.

Is the controversy over whether the Wildcats should have a parade in Center City really that big a deal at all? What would it take for Jay Wright to leave the Main Line for the NBA? And can another Big East school without a big-time football program win a national championship?

We'll get back to talking about the Eagles next week. We promise.

On this week's edition of Not Another Philly Sports Talk Show, David Murphy welcomes in Matt Gelb and Matt Breen to set the stage for the Phillies season. They also preview Villanova's Final Four matchup against Oklahoma.

The latest edition of Not Another Philly Sports Talk Show digs into the news coming out of the NFL meetings in Boca Raton - in particular Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie's statements about Howie Roseman's role with the team, which raised a lot of eyebrows back home.

David Murphy, Mike Sielski and Jonathan Tannenwald try to figure out what Lurie and Roseman are trying to do, and whether the path the Eagles brass seems to be following might ultimately end in disaster.

Once everyone in the studio finally ran out of breath, they cooled off by taking some questions from listeners on Twitter about how the Phillies are shaping up.

The show finishes with a discussion of Mike's recent column on Temple basketball coach Fran Dunphy, and why he's respected by so many people but hated by a vocal contingent of Owls fans.

This week on Not Another Philly Sports Talk Show, Inquirer football columnist Jeff McLane stops by to join David Murphy and Mike Sielski for a chat about all the latest Eagles offseason news and rumors.

Taking the guesswork out of NFL free agency

David Murphy hosts solo this week as Not Another Philly Sports Talk Show gets into the start of NFL free agency. Zach Berman joined Dave Wednesday afternoon as news was breaking about the Eagles' many deals, from trading Byron Maxwell to signing Rodney McLeod.

Then the show shifts to baseball talk as Matt Breen calls in from Clearwater to discuss the latest Phillies spring training storylines. The big news is that outfield prospect Aaron Altherr will miss four to six months after tearing a tendon in his left wrist. Dave and Matt also take a look at the Phillies' starting pitching rotation and bullpen to try to predict who will be on the roster come Opening Day.

Mike Sielski checks in from Clearwater while David Murphy and Jonathan Tannenwald hold down the studio back home on the latest episode of Not Another Philly Sports Talk Show.

First up is a chat about Mike and Dave's recent columns comparing the 76ers' tanking to the Phillies' rebuild, and why fans are so insistent on winning now - and spending big money to do so.

The conversation then turns to the Phillies' roster, and which young players will be the most interesting to watch during the spring.

And finally, there's time for - yep, you guessed it - a look at where the Eagles' quarterback situation stands.

We recorded the show before the Eagles announced that Sam Bradford has agreed to a new two-year contract with the team. So we focused on scenarios that could unfold no matter what happened after we finished in the studio.

With David Murphy covering the Phillies in Clearwater, Les Bowen joins Mike Sielski and Jonathan Tannenwald for a wide-ranging conversation about the latest headlines on the Philadelphia sports scene.

First up, we look ahead to the NFL scouting combine. And yes, we talk about the quarterback situation.

Then we switch gears and talk some hockey for once. How much will Flyers bruiser Radko Gudas' lack of discipline cost not just him, but the team as a whole? Especially since Ron Hextall has done so much to cast off the organization's reputation for valuing hard hits over skill.

With that in mind, we take the lens out to a broader view of how the Flyers' prospects compare to the 76ers and Phillies, whose rosters are also stacked with young players. Which of the three teams has the brightest future? And if the 76ers finally do get on the right track, will Jerry Colangelo get all the credit even if Sam Hinkie actually deserves some of it?

The show closes with some college basketball talk, since it's getting to be the time of year when Philadelphia pays attention. But that's happening less now than ever. Is it just because of the Eagles' dominance, or is there something more to it?
