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

We just witnessed what was probably the greatest weekend of NFL playoff action ever, with some incredible quarterback play; how does that make you feel about the Eagles and Jalen Hurts? The 76ers have played well of late -- Joel Embiid is again an MVP candidate -- but there's still that unresolved situation regarding you-know-who. Expect lots of Eagles and Sixers talk as Bucks County Courier Times sports columnist TOM MOORE visits the show. Plus, Bill, Chet and "Boop" give you their predictions for the NFL's conference championship games -- hopefully the guys will do better than they did this past weekend. And, we give our take on this year's Baseball Hall of Fame inductees.

On this week's show: What do the Eagles need to do this offseason after that very quick exit from the NFL postseason courtesy the Tampa Bay Bucs? Bill and Chet talk Eagles and much more with Inquirer.com award-winning sports columnist Mike Sielski. Mike's great new book, "The Rise: Kobe Bryant and the Pursuit of Immortality," is available now! Plus, some good discussion about the rest of the Philly sports scene -- it ain't overly pretty! -- and Chet reviews the movie "American Underdog: The Kurt Warner Story."

Can the Eagles beat Tom Brady again? Jalen Hurts & Co. will be in Tampa for wild-card weekend and Philly Pressbox Radio devotes a big chunk of this week's show to that Birds-Bucs contest ... with help from Bleeding Green Nation's Brandon Lee Gowton. You'll also get wild-card weekend predictions from Bill, Chet and Boop ... and some Sixers, Flyers and College Football Championship talk, too. Oh ... there's also a "Random Chet" segment with you-know-who reflecting on the many great albums that came out in 1972 -- yeah, 50 years ago!

Hey, the Eagles are in the playoffs! For real! This week, we talk Birds with Eagles Insider DAVE SPADARO ... and we're also joined by former Phillies pitcher TOMMY GREENE. Will the MLB lockout end before spring? Will the Phils be competitive this year? Tommy also reflects on his late teammate Darren Daulton. Plus, Bill Furman, Jim "Chet" Chesko and Bob "Boop" Vetrone Jr. make their Week 18 NFL predictions and we squeeze in some Sixers and CFP championship talk, too.

Of course there will be plenty of talk about the Eagles and their playoff prospects, but also this week Bill and Chet will reflect on the past year on the Philly sports scene with long-time Inquirer columnist Frank Fitzpatrick. Plus, Philly Sports Trips President Vince Rizzuto stops by to tell us about some cool trips coming up soon and what's planned for 2022. Also, we give our thoughts on the great John Madden (R.i.P., Coach!) and Bill makes his CFP championship prediction!

On our Christmas week edition of Philly Pressbox Radio, former Eagles receiver Fred Barnett makes his annual visit -- always fun! This time, "Arkansas Fred" helps us recap the Birds' Tuesday night win over the visiting Washington Football Team and discusses what's ahead for the Eagles, plus much more. Also, the latest on the up-and-down Sixers ... and the NHL's decision to hit the pause button on the season for a week amid more Covid outbreaks. Of course, you'll get our picks for key Week 16 NFC games ... and a holiday-themed "Random Chet" segment, too!

Expect a great conversation and some terrific stories as Joe Watson, a two-time Stanley Cup champion and two-time All-Star during his Flyers career, visits Philly Pressbox Radio. Plus, Bill and Chet preview this weekend's important Eagles' meeting with the visiting Washington Football Team...  and the guys give you their Week 15 predictions.

We have an Eagles win to talk about, but the rest of the Philly sports scene isn't so pleasant right now -- the Flyers are a mess and have just fired Alain Vigneault, the Sixers are struggling to stay above .500, and Dick Allen again missed getting voted into the Hall of Fame by one stinkin' vote! This week, Bill Furman and Jim "Chet" Chesko welcome long-time sports writer KEVIN COONEY to the show to talk about all of that as well as Jimmy Rollins' Hall of Fame prospects and the College Football Playoff matchups.

The Eagles are coming off a horrible loss, the Flyers have hit the skids, the 76ers are scuffling, and the Phillies have yet to make any major offseason moves ... with a baseball lockout looming to boot. But, hey, the Philadelphia Union is heading to the MLS Eastern Conference final! On this week's show, a visit from Mark Eckel, who covered the Eagles for more than 30 years. (These days he roots for and writes stuff about the Green Bay Packers!) Plus, Bill Furman, Jim "Chet" Chesko and "Boop" Vetrone make picks for Week 13 NFC East games ... and you'll get a new "Random Chet" segment, too! (Please, contain your excitement!)

The 76ers are "thankful" that their West Coast trip is almost over; we talk all-things Sixers with Inquirer.com beat reporter Keith Pompey. Of course, there's lots to discuss about the resurgent Eagles, too -- the Birds now just a half-game out of the final NFC wild-card spot heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Giants at Met Life Stadium. Bill and Chet also squeeze in some Flyers talk and debate Jimmy Rollins' Hall of Fame worthiness ... and the guys make their predictions for some of the week's key NFC contests. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
