Full pod to come this weekend with more thoughts on the whole series as well as the Sixers still ongoing first round matchup with the Celtics.
Steve happened upon a segment of the WDVE 102.5 morning show in Pittsburgh that featured Pittsburgh sportscaster Mark Madden, noted thorn in the sides of many listeners and social media patrons over the years. Listen as Steve live reacts to his comments. NSFW
The Flyers are back in the playoffs, joining the Sixers for the first time in 5 years! Their reward? Their cross-state rivals: the Penguins.

It's Winter. It's cold, dark, depressing, but in the Philly sports world, sometimes it feels like that's every season.

The Eagles are facing the Washington Commanders tomorrow night, almost 14 years to the day of one of the most epic beatdowns in NFL history that took place between these two teams on a rainy Monday night in Landover, MD.

Steve re-watched the highlights and recalls his emotions during that game, and looks forward to what hopefully will be another compelling primetime matchup between these two teams on Thursday. As per usual, there is an equally compelling beer of the show to help you take in all the joy.

Opinions are like assholes. Everyone's got one. Fresh off an embarrassing Phillies choke job in the 2024 NLDS, Steve decided he needed to vent some frustration.

The beer of the show is Pabst Blue Ribbon. Steve drank plenty of them tonight, because this experience didn't deserve expensive beer.

Summer is actually Steve's favourite season, but you know what's also a fun season? Autumn! Football is back, hockey and basketball are ramping up, and it's even better when your Philadelphia Phillies are in the playoffs. Speaking of that, the Phillies clinched the NL East while Steve was recording, so you'll probably have another podcast to look forward to in a few days...
