A jam-packed Philly Pressbox Radio show this week! We talk lots of Eagles football with former Birds star running back Brian Westbrook, plus B-West and Philadelphia sports journalist Lesley Van Arsdall tell us about their brand new children's book, "The Mouse Who Played Football." In addition, we talk about the Phillies' trade-deadline moves with former Phils color analyst Chris Wheeler ... and we reflect on the lives of NBA legend Bill Russell and broadcaster Vin Scully.

We always enjoy when Philadelphia Inquirer award-winning sports journalist MIKE SIELSKI visits the show! Potential topics for this week include the up-and-down Phillies, the pros and cons of the Sixers building a new arena for the team in Center City, the Flyers' less-than-thrilling offseason, and what to watch for as the Eagles open training camp. Plus, a fun Random Chet segment!

We've been doing our Philly Pressbox Radio show for 8+ years, and we're doing show #400 at the fabulous Irish Rover in Langhorne, PA. Bill Furman and Jim "Chet" Chesko are the co-hosts but we get some help this time around from Edge of Philly Sports Network founders "Big Al" Zaffiri and Joey Sheeran. Lots of Philly sports talk plus giveaways, chances to win Phillies tickets and beer specials. Woo-hoo! (*NOTE: Our show was 95 minutes long, but you're only getting 58 minutes worth here. You can find the entire show on both Facebook and our YouTube channel.)

This week, former Philadelphia Daily News sportswriter ED BARKOWITZ joins Bill and Chet to cover all of the pressing issues on the Philly sports scene. Can the Phillies stay in the playoff picture with so many injuries? How are we feeling about the Eagles as training camp approaches? Did the Flyers make a mistake in doing that controversial trade for Tony DeAngelo? What's the outlook for the 76ers?  All of that and more, plus we'll get you set for this Sunday's 400th Philly Pressbox Radio show ... LIVE at the Irish Rover Station House in Langhorne, PA!

It was 29 years ago this week that Kevin Stocker made his MLB debut with that memorable 1993 Phillies team. Now, the former shortstop and current radio sports analyst joins Bill and Chet to talk Phillies and more. (Of course, Kevin tells a Lenny Dykstra story!) We mix in some Eagles and Sixers talk. too, and -- for the heck of it -- a look back at some of the best movies released over the first half of 2022.

Can the Phillies still contend for a spot in the postseason without their MVP? Bill and Chet talk about the Phils' outlook in the wake of the Bryce Harper injury, plus we discuss the Flyers with HockeyBuzz.com's Bill Meltzer. What does Bill think about the hiring of John Tortorella as new head coach and what other moves might the Flyers make to become relevant again? Plus, a fun chat with Asbury Park, NJ-based country-music duo Reagan Richards and Gordon Brown. Their band Williams Honor has just released a great new album, "eX," and it turns out Reagan is something of a Phillies fan!

There's always plenty to talk about on the Philly sports scene, and this week Bill and Chet are joined by former Philly sports anchor Neil Hartman, who these days runs Rowan University's Center for Sports Communication. Plus, we welcome 80-year-old Ray Loewe, a U.S. Masters All-American swimmer, aka "The Luckiest Guy in the World" and host of the weekly podcast "Changing the Rules."  Oh ... some summer beer tips courtesy Chet, too! We guarantee you a fun hour!

A special Tuesday episode of Philly Pressbox Radio! Edge of Philly Sports' Joey Sheeran makes a return visit to the show to talk about the Philadelphia sports scene with Bill and Chet, plus we have part two of a terrific interview with Phillies PA man extraordinaire Dan Baker. Also, Chet reviews the new Adam Sandler basketball movie, "Hustle," that was shot in Philadelphia last year and will be of interest to all Sixers fans!

Phils, Sixers and Eagles talk on this week's Philly Pressbox Radio Roundtable! Joining Bill and Chet for that: Phillies public-address announcer Dan Baker, who's celebrating his 50th season behind the mic, and Bucks County Courier TImes sports columnist Tom Moore. Plus, Chet offers up some Father's Day gift ideas for Philly sports-loving dads!

The month of May was a rough one for the Phillies -- maybe June will bring better results! Hey, at the very least there are some cool promotions and giveaways at the ballpark this summer. We get the scoop on those -- and the outlook for the Phils -- as Phillies Director of Fun & Games JOHN BRAZER visits Philly Pressbox Radio. Bill Furman and Jim "Chet" Chesko also discuss the Eagles (OTAs are under way) and the Flyers (their head-coaching search) and much more! (Among the "much more": Chet's review of "Top Gun: Maverick"!)
