Phils-Braves, Plus Sixers PBP Voice Kate Scott, Flyers Legend Bob Kelly (PPR 464)

The Phillies "summer camp" is under way and we're moving closer to what we hope will be a baseball season, albeit a shortened one. Visiting Philly Pressbox Radio to talk about the likelihood of a season and how Joe Girardi's club might do is longtime Phillies reporter Paul Hagen. Also on the show, Bill Furman and Jim "Chet" Chesko discuss the rest of the Philly sports scene ... and talk a bit more about the Philly Pressbox Radio Hall of Fame voting that continues through July 14th.

No games just yet, but still plenty to talk about in the sports world! Visiting Philly Pressbox Radio this week is Inquirer.com sports columnist Mike Sielski who has plenty of thoughts about the return-to-play plans of Major League Baseball, the NBA and NHL, and whether Alshon Jeffery can really be a contributor again for the Eagles this fall. Has Mike really lost interest in watching baseball? Plus, Bill Furman and Jim "Chet" Chesko unveil the candidates for entry into our Philly Pressbox Radio Philly Sports Hall of Fame!

Philly Pressbox Radio covers lots of ground on this week's show, thanks to a terrific guest: Neil Hartman is an Emmy Award-winning sports anchor who these days runs the Rowan University Sports Communication and Media program as well as South Jersey Sports Broadcasting Play By Play Camps. We discuss the Philly sports scene with Neil and baseball's plan for a 60-game season, plus Neil tells us about this summer's virtual play-by-play camps. Also, more talk about a certain local radio station's list of the greatest Philly athletes of the past 50 years.

Sixers Outsiders co-host Krystle Rich joins Bill and Chet to talk about the NBA's plan to finish the season and crown a champion, and former Phillies scouting director Marti Wolever (now with the Marlins) visits to give us the lowdown on Phils' draft picks Mick Abel and Casey Martin and his views on whether there will be a 2020 MLB season. Also: what the Brandon Brooks' out-for-the-season injury means for the Eagles, and Chet's review of the TV series "Brockmire."

This time around, Philly Pressbox Radio talks Flyers, Sixers, Eagles, messed-up MLB and more with two great guests: the Inquirer.com's Sam Carchidi and Bucks County Courier Times columnist Tom Moore. Plus, Bill and Chet weigh in on a certain radio station's effort to determine Philly's GOAT pro athletes!

We had such a great time talking with former All-Star catcher Ray Fosse in early April that we had to have him back! The two-time World Series champion -- these days an Oakland A's broadcaster -- has a slew of baseball stories and will also let us know the latest on the possibility of a 2020 baseball season starting. Any reason for optimism? Plus, Bill Furman and Jim "Chet" Chesko discuss last week's ESPN "Roy Halladay: Imperfect" documentary and reflect on the 1982-83 NBA Champion Philadelphia 76ers!

Have you heard? Philly Pressbox Radio is now part of the Edge of Philly Sports Network! On this week's show, we tell you more about what that means for our viewers/listeners, as Bill Furman and Jim "Chet" Chesko are joined by EoP's Al Zaffiri and Freddy Burns (aka Fred Hugo). Of course, also expect plenty of talk about plans for the resumption of the basketball, hockey and baseball seasons, the NBA's greatest-ever-player debate, last Sunday's big golf event and much more!

In the 1970s, Kevin Reilly was an Eagles linebacker and special-teams captain and Bob "Hound" Kelly was a key member of the Flyers' back-to-back Stanley Cup championship teams. They're both great guys, too, and we're thrilled to have them back once again on Philly Pressbox Radio talking about the Eagles, the Flyers, staying positive during the pandemic, and much more -- including Kevin's brief time as a Miami Dolphin under the late great Don Shula. Plus, Bill and "Chet" reflect on their all-time favorite Flyers to watch play over the years!

WIll there be a 2020 baseball season? On this week's show, Phillies Nation's Brian Michael joins Bill and Chet to talk about the most-likely scenario for the season, how the Phillies might do and ESPN's upcoming documentary about Roy Halladay. Also, singer-songwriter Willie Nile visits to preview his new album, "New York at Night," and tell us about his memorable trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame with his centenarian father. Plus, Bill and Chet complete their Mount Rushmores of great Philly athletes.

We cover a wide range of topics on this edition of the Philly Pressbox Radio Roundtable!  Bettors Insider's Bob Vetrone Jr., aka "Boop," stops by to talk with Bill Furman and Jim "Chet" Chesko about, well, anything and everything on the Philly sports scene. We also have a visit from author David Lariviere, who tells us about his hot-off-the-presses book, "93 Things to Do While Stuck Inside Your Home."
