Philadelphia Phillies Hit The Skids, Lose Five Straight Series
Remember when the Philadelphia Phillies had the World Series wrapped up by July? The team was the best in baseball, had won 60 games before the All-Star Break, and had eight players representing the team in the game. Now all anyone can talk about since then on Philadelphia Sports Radio is this slump that won't end and a team that has lost five straight series, including being swept at home by the New York Yankees. Bryce Harper is getting hammered too for not being the leader to carry the team on his back.
Sixers' Joel Embiid Stinks Up The Joint On U.S. Olympics Team
Have you seen Philadelphia 76ers Superstar Joel Embiid play for the U.S. Olympics team in Paris? So has nobody else. Embiid made his Olympics debut with a quick exit after basically stinking up the joint. He's too slow for the fast pace of the Games and seems like he's once again out of shape. Embiid didn't even play in one game. The best memory of Embiid in Paris was when he was captured wearing some cool Five Ring sunglasses.
Philadelphia Eagles Ready To Fly Toward Super Bowl Goal
While the Phillies slump, the Philadelphia Eagles are trying to shake off a late-season collapse and quick playoff exit as they have opened training camp. The team has two new coordinators, a new defensive scheme, ex-Giant Saquon Barkley in the backfield, and hopes for the rebound of franchise Quarterback Jalen Hurts to MVP-level play and another Super Bowl appearance. The team will open the season against the Green Bay Packers in Brazil. An open practice at the Link Thursday night drew 50,000 fans.
