Philly Sports w Gar and Matt

Eagles needed a win and they looked great against a banged up Giants team at home.  Next up is the undefeated Panthers.  The Eagles will be tested unlike the past two weeks.  The Flyers have just started but if the season ended today the young team would be in the playoffs.  The Sixers are getting started, but other than Noel and Okafur there is not much to look forward to.  We will do the usual segments so come on in and listen.

The Eagles looked dead, but like the Phoenix they have risen in the crappy division known as the NFC East.  They now play the Giants for a shot to be 3-3 and a share of the division lead, but if they lose it is 2-4 and 0-3 in the division which means that their playoff hopes would be fading at best.  Big game on Monday night, we will see if they are up for the challenge.  We will also make our weekly Fanduel team and discuss the red hot Flyers who have had back to back shutouts.  Come along for the ride that is Sports talk with Matt and Gar.  Follow us @MattCisco or @talkwmattngarr.

The Eagles had their biggest game of the season against the Redskins and blew it!  Kirk Cousins gave us plenty to talk about with a 90 yard drive to end the game!  The Phillies ended and they are on the MLB draft clock.  While that ended the Sixers and Flyers are beginning their pre-seasons, we will preview them, but mostly it is all about Chip Kelly's Eagles and is this season over or can it be saved?  Interesting times lie ahead and we will discuss them.  As always Matt will make his suicide 2nd chance pick and we may get a fanduel team picked on the air.  Here we come so strap in and listen or call us at 602-753-1597.  Also leave any comments on twitter @mattcisco or @talkwmattngar.

The Eagles are 1-1 since our last podcast they just won a must win game in New York vs the Jets.  This week we have the Redskins in DC with a possible rain storm affecting the game.  We will go in depth on this game and the Phillies season is about to end while the Flyers and Sixers season begin we will briefly discuss the teams and we will talk about the direction both teams are heading.  We will give out more fantasy advice, if you have any questions or comments please contact us on twitter @mattcisco and @talkwmattngarr and we will answer your questions live.  Here we go!

The Eagles season started more disappointing than planned.  We will look inside what happened, and what is going to happen in the most important week of the year (Well one of two) Dallas week.  Legend Moses Malone passed and he was a major part of a Philadelphia championship.  Garrett is in 5 fantasy leagues as is Matt, so they will go through fantasy advice including a week long fantasy competition where the lineup will be set on the air.  So stay tuned Gar and Matt are ready to roll.

It's always sunny in Philadelphia when the Eagles season is about to start.   Bradford looks like the second coming of Montana in his 1 quarter of preseason action, Demarco Murray looks like Jim Brown in that same preseason game, the O line looked competant enough against the Packers starters.  What will the season really bring?  Also Gar's favorite Christian got cut.  The Sixers decided six PGs are not enough and probably just signed their starter.  Nola looks phenomenal again, but the rest of the Phillies are wait and see.  Also the court says Roger Goodell has no real power, we will see how this impacts the NFL.

We will discuss what is going on around the NFL, probably get into fantasy football talk.  We will discuss the Eagles 2nd preseason game as well as what we would like to see in the 3rd game.  The Phillies are coming back to reality and they pulled Francour off of waivers when he was claimed.  We might get into the radio wars between Innes and Miscinelli that have been on Philly Sports Radio airwaves and anything else is open for conversation if you call in.  

Utley has been dealt, one of the two prospects has been named as Darnell Sweeney.  We get another toolsy prospect who has a chance to do something and all of the sudden our farm system is getting loaded which may cause the Phillies turnaround to be quicker than expected.  The Eagles and other teams have played an exhibition game and injuries and fights are beginning to pile up around the NFL.  We will also get into a bit of fantasy talk on how injuries may impact fantasy football drafts that are happening all over.  Plus Joel Embiid is officially getting surgery so we will discuss that.  Get ready because we are going live!

The Eagles camp is in full bloom we wil discuss the injury to JaCory Sheppard and what it means to an Eagles team that just traded Brandon Boykin.  The Phillies keep winning, but Maikel Franco was injured in last night's game we will talk about how cautious the team should be with him and fantasy football drafts are springing up all over the place.  Gar and Matt are in several leagues including 2 with each other, they will talk about some strategies they use.

The deadline has come and gone and the Phillies traded Jonathan Papelbon, Cole Hamels, and Ben Revere.  We will talk about the return the Phillies got for these guys.  Three top 100 guys in the Hamels move which doubles the Eagles total to 6 top 100 prospects in the majors.  The Eagles meanwhile started camp and the big news is no news, no major injuries to report.  Travis Long is probably done with his 3rd ACL tear, but other than that no major injuries which includes our achy breaky QB.  Garrett scouted the Eagles practice live and will give us a report.

The trade deadline looms and Papelbon was already dealt.  Hamels looks like the next deal going to happen and we will discuss them both.  Who else could be traded?  We will also look at the national trade market at deals that are happening and players becoming available.  Also Sean Coutourier signed a deal with the Flyers keeping him under team control for 6 years.  Plus maybe we will get into a debate on politics if we have time.

We are on iTunes!!!!  Look for us under the name Philly Sports with Gar and Matt.  We are also on Podcast Addict if you have an Android device.  On this week's episode Aaron Nola debuts, Maikel Franco doesn't play because he is hurt.  We are talking MLB trade deadline and the Phillies are all over the hot stove with many conflicting reports.  Sixers apparently lied about Joel Embiid's foot.  Sam Bradford wants to play out his contract so let's see if Gar rips Chip Kelly for trading Foles again, my guess is yes.  All that and your phone calls at 602-753-1597.  And.... We're on the air!

The Sixers played some Summer League games and the Phillies signed some international players.  The big stories have all been national though, Garrett asked for this podcast to comment specifically on the NFL top 100 we have no script today and will be going by the seat of our pants.  Lord help us.  Thanks for listening as always, hope we entertain.  Also our friend is in the WSOP and we will update his progress.

The Andy McPhail era has begun, sort of, he will take over next year.  Reuben Amaro stays GM through the end of the year.  Hinkie finally made his draft time move as he gave up international guys who will never be for Nik Staulkus plus.   Flyers signed a backup goalie and the Phillies actually decided to sign a foreign player.  All this plus Gar talks shark attacks and Christie for president.

The NBA draft has come and gone and left many wondering whether Hinkie's plan is still best or whether 3 wasted seasons are enough already.  Embiid may need surgery and all we have on our roster are 3 big men.  Furthermore, Ryne Sandberg decided the Sixers should not get all of the news and decided to resign from this abortion of a baseball season.  Why was it not Reuben Amaro?  We are going live, so join us if you will.  RIP to Matt's grandfather Leon to whom this show is dedicated.
