The Phillies finally won a game and the Dodgers realized they needed Skubal
Probably true, but I kinda want to see how much further it can go…
JPAnalyst@jaydpauley.bsky.social · 5d agoHonestly, you can die now. You’ve made it. You’ve made it in ways far beyond anything you, or your parents could have dreamed of. Congrats on this for real!
Absolutely delighted to see that the octopus was a question on ESPN Jeopardy‼️🐙 Even though Kyle Brandt guessed snowman and nobody got it. But now that it’s crossed Joe Buck’s desk, maybe he’ll call out the next one on MNF.
I’ve seen a ton of people edit LeBron into the Iverson-era jerseys after the Sixers brought them back, but I’d love to see them wear these beauties for even just one game
Day 1 with LeBron: Everyone’s talking about the Sixers 😀 Day 5 with LeBron: Everyone’s talking about the Sixers 🤨🫠🫣
Time comes for us all. @gilbertomanzano.bsky.social spent one day at Rams camp and found out he is officially washed. www.si.com/nfl/rams-tra...
Shout out to Josh Harris listing the rest of the starting lineup in alphabetical order by last name. No hurt feelings!
Adam Aaronson@adamaaronson.bsky.social · last wk.LeBron James is officially a member of the Philadelphia 76ers. What an interesting world we live in. Sixers owner Josh Harris and shot-caller Mike Gansey with quotes inside, plus a blue #23 jersey: www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-...
You: Uh oh, the Sixers might have too many good players! Me:
There’s some renewed interest in The Process, so here’s my timeline refresher. The Sixers are currently in what I call late-stage Process. It doesn’t end until Embiid is gone. Welcome LeBron. It’s been a journey.
*pulling my soapbox out of the closet where it had sat collecting dust for 6 years and then standing on it* The Process worked

I’m glad you asked! I spent a couple of days with the guy who got it built and went rafting on the course with the mayor of OKC and got the full story of how they landed 7 Olympic events! www.si.com/olympics/okl...

How a city celebrating the Thunder’s NBA title, with Olympic softball and canoe slalom on the way, has used sports to change its identity.

Every year, I try and identify the 12 teams I think can actually win the Super Bowl. This year, I had to broaden the field just slightly...but still struggled to limit the number of true contenders.
The MMQB@themmqb.bsky.social · 2w agoThe NFL is more wide open than usual this season, but @conororr.bsky.social can still narrow down the field to only 14 teams that could actually win Super Bowl LXI www.si.com/nfl/conor-or...
The LA28 Opening Ceremony is now two years from today 🥇 (On a day there will be sports in New York, Columbus, Nashville, St. Louis, San Jose, San Diego and Oklahoma City)
Mitch Goldich@mitchgoldich.bsky.social · 4w ago🚨🥇 2 years from today, the LA28 Olympics officially begin Starting on Day -4 means 21 straight days of competition Highlights before Day 1: 💥 Soccer around the country 💥 Canoe slalom in OKC 💥 Cricket back after 128 years 💥 Women’s rugby QFs 💥 OC in the Coliseum and SoFi
Philly fans with the most aggressive booing in HR Derby history ❤️
Beautiful night in a beautiful ballpark, but it is sad that CPB covered up the brick behind home plate and covered the outfield flower beds with a garish orange sign for a vegetation management company I still won’t name ☹️
Tom Verducci on Kyle Schwarber. Good stuff on his Phillies tenure, but also an interesting anecdote from the 2016 World Series: www.si.com/mlb/nobody-f...
Nobody Fits Philadelphia Like Kyle Schwarber
The Phillies’ designated hitter and MLB’s home run leader is primed to own All-Star week in the City of Brotherly Love. At 33 years old, he’s better than ever.

I have one simple trick for the Sixers to entice LeBron, but it’s 12 seconds too long for BlueSky so you have to watch it on Instagram www.instagram.com/reel/Dalu2yZ...

Feels like Rich Paul is running around talking up Philly so that LeBron looks even more heroic for picking Cleveland anyway. I think we’re watching Episode 1 of the doc right now.
Additional skimo events at the next Winter Olympics!

The “please America, don’t stop watching soccer” PSA at the end sounded like me podcasting about judo or fencing on the last day of the Olympics
“Oh hello I’m a goalie, let me wander around over here”
Shout out to FIFA for coming through in a big spot. This is what all those bribes are for.
Boston 250 had a drone show before the fireworks, and I want you all to see the man with a musket who rose from the sky
“…and don’t forget about Philly! I’m proud of that championship too!” – 45 minutes into LeBron’s HOF speech
