Philly Sports Jabronis

The Eli Manning era is over … again. Not that it seems to have much impact on the Eagles’ season, but we will discuss him either way. Where does he rank in his generation and among those of the past? …. Something that sort of is affecting the Eagles, aside from injuries, is the potential to acquire a certain cornerback out of Jacksonville. We discuss this as well, along with Games Not To Bet and the Survivor Football Manifesto for Week 3. Recorded live from Nippers. Listen! Learn more about your ad choices.

We are two weeks into 2019 and Antonio Brown has “represented” two NFL teams. With legal troubles now added to his pot of stew, can he make it a third team by Week 3, or might he be done in the NFL altogether for a bit?The first week of the season provided its own drama as well. The Birds started slow, but finished off the Skins quickly after that, D-Jax made a triumphant return and aside from the D looking a bit meek all is well in Philly. But can they hold off a desperate Falcon squad in Atlanta?Carlos got a big W out of the Raiders and Rob saw his Jets lose – do any of them show up on Games Not To Bet or Survivor Football Picks? We discuss, live from Nippers!And, yes, an NFL quarterback did indeed get mono. We aren’t immune to talking about that either. Listen! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The 76ers have rebuilt their squad, but the Lakers, namely Magic Johnson and cough, cough Lebron James may be trying to pull a sneaky sneaky. Ben Simmons is apparently prime for the picking … how worried should we be? At least we know Aaron Nola is here to stay for a bit. Good job Phillies. We will discuss both developments and find some way to get into NFL happenings. Recorded live at Nippers. Listen! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Who needs the NFL when you have the NBA trade deadline and a sort of percolating MLB hot stove. It’s been a whirlwind of a 48 hours in Philadelphia, starting with the 76ers pulling off some major trades and planting their flag in the “all in” bin in the Eastern Conference. Tobias Harris is in and Markelle Fultz is out. And then there are the equally aggressive Phillies, who are not sitting on their hands waiting for certain free agents to sign. J.T. Realmuto is the latest Marlin to get a new lease on life. Plus, the Flyers have won 100 games in a row … and what the heck we will talk about the dud Super Bowl. Listen!

A contentious Championship Sunday in the NFL has set up a Super Bowl that nobody saw coming and that few people may be wanting to watch. Ticket sales are reportedly sagging, Saints fans are still crying and the Kansas City Chiefs defense is still trying to figure out how to not “rough” a passer. The Jabronis will try to make sense of it all and harken back to the olden days of what seemed to be consistently bad Super Bowls as we prep for next week’s title game. Plus, we will probably dabble into some Sixers and Phillies talk – and give our congrats to Roy Halladay. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Philadelphia Eagles finally ran out of magic in the NFC Divisional Round in New Orleans, but they certainly kept it interesting up until almost the last minute. We break down the most recent of gut-churning games for the Birds, make our peace with the ending of what in some ways will be an era and get our act together in time to dissect who we will be rooting for the rest of the way. Will it be the former coach? Will it be the evil “empire”? Will it be the Saints who just beat us? Or will it be the “other” quarterback of the 2016 NFL Draft?We sift through everything, and consider the gambling opportunities as the 2018/19 campaign winds down. Recorded live from Nippers. Listen!

Yes, the Eagles are Super Bowl champions. Yes, they beat the scumbag Patriots last year for the city’s first bowl title in a game that will be emotionally impossible to duplicate let alone surpass.

The Philadelphia Eagles have done the (almost) unthinkable. They have officially earned the right to defend their Super Bowl title with some Week 17 magic, and a little help from their “friends” in Minnesota. Or were the friends in Chicago?

The 2018 season barely has a pulse for the Birds as we head into Thanksgiving, so it looks like we have to pin our holiday hopes on a limp to the NFC East championship. And then there are the helter skelter 76ers, a team that is cruising somewhat with Jimmy Butler in town, but the Markelle Fultz drama saga has taken another strange turn. We carve out some time to stray from some football focusing to talk some b-ball and touch on the new MLB Hall of Fame ballot as well. Why not?
