Way Outta Here!

It's Winter. It's cold, dark, depressing, but in the Philly sports world, sometimes it feels like that's every season. Steve wanted to try to spin some realistic insight into recent negative events in Philly sports and the resulting online discourse, in an attempt to help turn Negadelphia into REALadelphia. It's not all sunshine & rainbows, but it's not all thunderstorms either. A Lehigh Valley beer of the show from Bonn Place will help you feel better, too. Show highlights include:
 
1:45 - Leaving Negadelphia topic discussion, inspired partly by Flyers Daily host Jason Myrtetus15:50 - SIXERS leading the positivity charge with 5 straight wins!20:25 - Flyers' disastrous January is in the rearview after a much-needed win22:50 - Sean Mannion hired as Eagles' OC; Jeff Stoutland retires25:43 - Super Bowl quick thought27:03 - Phillies cap off boring offseason with Harrison Bader signing...in San Fran29:47 - Union finish preseason international friendlies, MLS preseason on horizon31:27 - Beer of the Show - Mooey by Bonn Place Brewing

With a combined 9-13 start to 2026 and some off-field disappointments thrown into the mix, so far this hasn't been a great January to be a Philly sports fan. Steve checks in with his thoughts on the struggles we fans have endured since we flipped the calendar, and finishes with some signs for optimism for most of his favourite teams. A full-bodied beer of the show returns as well to help you drink it all in:
1:31 - Brief thoughts on the Eagles' disappointing performance vs. the 49ers plus a season post-mortem
14:19 - The Phillies miss out on Bo Bichette
19:30 - A decidedly mid Sixers performance, which is actually pleasantly surprising
23:27 - The longest losing streak of the Flyers season so far, finally over at 6 games
26:43 - Yet another long-time Union player departs as pre-season looms
27:33 - Beer of the Show - Bell’s Hopslam Ale

A happy 2026 to you! Steve returns on the pod this week with some thoughts on the Eagles having clinched their second consecutive NFC East title, asking is this the best era of Eagles football ever, but also...what still feels so wrong with this good team? Some quick hits on the Philly sports landscape outside of the Eagles, and a delicious local beer of the show to kick off the show's 4th(!) year.

It's no secret that Steve is a huge hockey fan. You wouldn't believe how often he hears the name Scott Hartnell in Pittsburgh, more than 11 years since he was traded away from their cross-state rivals, the Philadelphia Flyers. It's safe to say he's STILL the most hated athlete in Pittsburgh. Steve has some nostalgic thoughts about Hartnell's glory days in the orange and black, plus some check-ins and things to be thankful for (remember, Thanksgiving was just last week) in the Philly sports universe. There's a limited time beer of the show to pair with your listening, as always.
