@SportsRadioWIP producer/host, @TUKleincollege 2020. Seinfeld/Curb die-hard. It’s never too early to count down the Phillies magic number.

[Buzz @BuzzWIP]

Always love the hyperbole of “best Sixers ____ since 2001” that we do every couple of years. Last night was “the best atmosphere since 2001,” 2021 they were the #1 seed and it was “the most anticipated playoff run since 2001.”

The anticipation and atmosphere have been there at various points along the way. The only thing that dates back that far is the team actually having the playoff success to match it.

This group has watched a lot of bad basketball together over the years. The Hawks series, the entire 2024-25 season and having the privilege of being cursed out by Knicks fans last May to name a few.

Pretty special to be there all together tonight.

Year 11 of our season ticket group.

How far we’ve come.

[Buzz @BuzzWIP]

The Sixers magic number to make the playoffs is 81.

Who let the Sixers become a 3rd quarter team?

[Buzz @BuzzWIP]

Just entered the arena, very happy to see a healthy mix of jersey representation among the starting five tonight.

I’m as stoked for LeBron as the next person, but I did fear this place would become filled with too many LeBron-centric people and not actual Sixers fans. Nice to see the excitement is for the entire team and not just one guy.

[Buzz @BuzzWIP]

Do we think LeBron knows the Coach is still doing it?

[Buzz @BuzzWIP]

The Sixers magic number to make the playoffs is 82.

[Buzz @BuzzWIP]

The Sixers just won a 3rd quarter by double digits.

This really is the year.

2026-27 Sixers record prediction: 52-30

[Buzz @BuzzWIP]

Every year, you’ll hear people say, “just get in the dance, anything can happen.” The #6 seed White Sox beating the #3 seed Astros has been the only upset of the playoffs. Two #1 seeds in the Fall Classic.

Every year, you’ll hear people say “managers don’t make that much of a difference.” The Brewers and Rays are obviously both very talented, but Pat Murphy and Kevin Cash are arguably the two best in the game.

And of course, the owners are trying to argue in favor of a salary cap. Payroll #19 will be playing against #28.

First time since the Phillies beat the Royals in 1980, a first-time champion is guaranteed. Should be an entertaining World Series.

“When you talk about our final week of the regular season, you have to remember we were playing the two ball clubs who made the World Series.”

[Buzz @BuzzWIP]

The Flyers won a hockey game on Saturday night, they then won another game tonight to make it 2 in a row. If they win on Wednesday in Buffalo, that’s called a winning streak.

It has happened before.

[Buzz @BuzzWIP]

Howie Roseman needs to speak ASAP.

[Buzz @BuzzWIP]

I’ve long been a fan of Nick Sirianni. Never said things like “he doesn’t do anything,” I was a pretty firm believer that you can’t have the success he’s overseen in spite of a bead head coach, even if he wasn’t elite either.

Doug Pederson could have come back after 2020 if he ultimately wanted to. I came into the season thinking it would take an utter disaster for the Eagles not to welcome Sirianni back in 2027.

6 games in, I’m ready to say this is the kind of year that can get him fired.

[Buzz @BuzzWIP]

Truly zero explanation for the Panthers not calling any timeouts there.

Clock management around the league continues to be as puzzling as ever.

[Buzz @BuzzWIP]

“Ass interference, defense”

[Buzz @BuzzWIP]

The ref arguing with fans and then subsequently having the intentional grounding call overturned will sadly be the highlight of today’s game.

[Buzz @BuzzWIP]

Panthers 21, Eagles 17.

[Buzz @BuzzWIP]

Philadelphia has won a game in the month of October.

Our city-wide nightmare is finally over.
