  • Bill stinks

    Bills so bad, you can tell he just got into sports recently he’s not knowledgeable at all, very hard to listen to and he can’t stop thinking about the superior station! They don’t even know who he is

  • Great New Chemistry on Fanatic Afternoons

    Bill offers good insight with a smooth delivery, especially when drawing from a strong background of Eagles knowledge.

    Ricky Bo is always good with the expert knowledge of pitching as a former Phillies/MLB reliever and also knows the habits, mentality, and lifestyle of baseball players to add substance to the conversation.

Can The Flyers Shock The World and Defeat Carolina? (Hour 3)
Q: What's the mindset for the Sixers in a potential game seven against the Celtics?
There's a new confidence stemming from improved health and recent playoff performances, suggesting a real shot if they execute and avoid the off-nights that plagued them earlier in the series.
Can The Flyers Shock The World and Defeat Carolina? (Hour 3)
Q: Do you believe the Flyers can upset the Hurricanes in this series?
Yes, there's a belief they can steal at least one game by pressuring Carolina and exploiting early opportunity, with strong goaltending and a gritty, defense-first approach.
Howie Always Thinks About Past Draft Misses (Hour 2)
Q: Bob from Spotswood asks how much not having Jeff Stoutland coaching the offensive line impacts what type of prospects they draft.
Andrew suggests the coaching change could shift emphasis toward more polished tackles versus swing-for-upside players, depending on the certainty at OL coach and the expected fit with new schemes.
Howie Always Thinks About Past Draft Misses (Hour 2)
Q: Chuck from Mount Airy asks Andrew to rank his top five offensive tackles. Do you agree with me that Stowers has as much upside as Sadiq from Oregon?
Andrew says Stowers has upside and lays out a top-five of tackles with a mix of refined and upside players, noting Stowers' quarterback background helps route running and that Monro Freeling, Kaden Proctor, Max Ehonachor, Blake Miller, and Caleb Lomu are among his top five, balancing upside and realism for Eagles fits.
Lincoln Riley Joins the Show to Talk About Makai Lemon (Hour 2)
Q: What type of player did the Philadelphia Eagles just get?
