Sports are still gone! Thankfully the Eagles make some moves and so did the Flyers so I've got that to talk about. I also bemoan the lack of an Opening Day in baseball, and when I'm done waxing nostalgic I get into the beer review. This week it is Croydon Cream Ale From Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company. I also go over my philosophy on how to try and approach and evaluate breweries in some cases.

As always Lanofie provides sponsorship and some fantastic gear, which you can get a hold of with my code "Maratea" at checkout. Plus FNX Fit is launching its own gear, and has some of the best supplements on the market. "SportChance" gets you the discount there. I'm on Twitter, Instagram and Untapped @mmaratea22 and the podcast is @Sportchancepod so please reach out and leave reviews!

So, thanks to COVID-19 sports are gone. Thankfully the NFL is at least throwing money at people so there is an Eagles move to talk about in between sips of Conshohocken Brewing Company's Smoke Biere de Garde "Ashy Slashy" and talk of the list of sports movies I hope to watch during this time of desperate need for content.

During this semi weird shutdown, support your local businesses whenever you can and grab some take out. Whether it's your local craft brewery or a food joint it's worth the trip, and the traffic probably won't be bad. Also support me by checking out Lanofie and using my code "Maratea" and FNX Fit and throwing "SportChance" around. Follow me and the podcast @mmaratea22 and @sportchancepod on Twitter, Instagram and Untapped!

Finally I got down to Eight & Sand to try some beer. It's a fantastic brewery and I picked up a very interesting Vienna lager called The Maize Is Not For You.

I also talk Flyers 5 game win streak, the 76ers needing a road split, that the Phillies seem active this spring, the Eagles offensive line drama, the Fury/Wilder rematch, Garcia/Vargas this weekend, and Chocolatito!

Follow me on Twitter and Instagram @mmaratea22 and @sportchancepod plus on Untappd @mmaratea22 as well! Don't forget my code at lanofie.com "Maratea" either!

Evil Genius charges more than a penny for their porter but its worth it. New Phone Who Dis? is a Carmel Macchiato porter worth having, hear why from me.

In sports talk, we tackle the Flyers recent run of success and discuss sustainability of the whole lineup scoring, plus Sixers hope, Phillies pitchers and catchers and the warm feelings those bring, and the a little boxing recap from Allentown and a preview of the work Michelle Rosado is doing with "Boxing Moms" the series and the Philly Special show on March 27 which will be a classic Philly fight night.

As always follow me and the podcast on social media @mmaratea22 on Untapped, Twitter and Instagram and @sportchancepod on Twitter and Instagram. Use code "Maratea" at Lanofie.com for 10% for you and me.

The numbers went wrong, so yeah this is a .5 deal. I talk Kobe and the idea of embracing the Mamba mentality, along with the state of Philly boxing in the busy month with one big fight left for Tevin Farmer, plus some MLB Hall of Fame pondering, 76ers talk and the beer review. It's Dogfish Head Raison D'Extra at high ABV brown sugar and raisin wonder. Interact with me on Twitter and Instagram @mmaratea22 or with the podcast @sportchancepod to talk about any and everything! Also go ahead and smash that subscribe and 5 star review buttons!

We're tying one on, and Ties The Room Together from Cape May Brewing and Left Hand Brewing hits the spot! The beer review comes after some boxing talk from the Jesse Hart Joe Smith Jr grudge match to Julian Williams defending his title in his hometown. The Flyers are a fringe playoff team and a confusing one at that. Plus Matt touches on the baseball sign stealing scandal! Follow on Twitter, Instagram, and Untapped @mmaratea22 and rate and review the pod!

It's a different version of Black Friday, thanks to the discovery of Toms River Brewing Black Rabbit Black Lager. Matt sips that after getting bent out of shape about the Eagles, touches on Ben Simmons first NBA 3, and discusses why the Flyers need to start winning, and why counting out Luis Ortiz in his rematch against Deontay Wilder is a bad idea.

As always, check out Matt on Twitter and Instagram @mmaratea22 on either, and to take a look at what's going on with the podcast at its account @sportchancepod on Twitter and Instagram. Also if you haven't yet, check out Lanofie.com and use the promo code "Maratea" to get you gear for bulking season!

What's less basic than a pumpkin spice latte? A Pumpkin Spice Moochiato from Bolero Snort Brewery. It's what Matt has after he ties up how each Philly team can look like or get closer to becoming contenders in November.

We also changed up our opening and our format slightly! If you like it, or don't tell us in the comments and ratings or reach out on social @mmaratea22 on both Twitter and Instagram, or @sportchancepod on Twitter or Instagram. Also check out lanofie.com and get some sweet workout swag, while using my code "Maratea" it's easy I promise.

It's fall, so the orange and black are back, and Matt Maratea is celebrating the Flyers with the orange and black labeled Great'er Pumpkin Bourbon Barrel Aged Pumpkin Ale from Heavy Seas Beer, and also discusses his recent interview with Philadelphia's own boxing hall of famer Russell Peltz before his 50th Anniversary show, and a few other Philly sports touches. For more check out the writing at Yellow Jacket Media, and follow on Twitter and Instagram @mmaratea22 and @sportchancepod for many more updates.

Matt returned from Florida and wanted a beer that promised to be a reminder. Cross Keys Brewing Co. delivered with their awesome Orange Jumpsuit IPA while Matt discussed and lamented the Phillies, broke down his NFL divisional and wild card picks, discussed the Flyers position battle and free agency troubles, made UFC 424 picks, touched on Xcite Fight Night 5 and the importance of supporting local fighters and reviewed the beer. Be sure to follow the @sportchancepod social accounts and Matt himself @mmaratea22 on Twitter and @mmaratea77 on Instagram, as well as checking him out on Vocal and Media. Don't forget if you need workout gear, the best place to get it is from Lanofie, and when you get it, use the code Maratea to do so. http://lddy.no/8qpm
