Not Another Philly Sports Talk Show

Is Carson Wentz really what they say he is? That's the big question on this week's edition of Not Another Philly Sports Talk Show. We know Jeffrey Lurie thinks Wentz will become the franchise quarterback of the Eagles owner's dreams. But why is Lurie so desperate to find that kind of player? Mike Sielski, David Murphy, Jonathan Tannenwald and Les Bowen try to figure out what's really driving Lurie's mindset. It seems that Lurie might have more motivations than simply wanting to win a Super Bowl by whatever means are necessary. (You have probably noticed by now that psychoanalyzing Lurie - and the risk that his personal desires could hurt the Eagles instead of help them - is a recurring theme on the show. It's probably a good idea to warn you that the subject might come up again in the future. Maybe. Possibly.) There's also time for some basketball chat. First, the crew marvels at Steph Curry's amazing performance in the Warriors' overtime win Monday night. Later in the show, they get into what it means that Sam Hinkie got votes from his fellow GMs in the NBA's executive of the year balloting. They compare his philosophy while running the 76ers to the Atlanta Hawks and other NBA teams that make the playoffs without ever having any true hope of winning a title.

The never-ending Eagles quarterback soap opera once again takes top billing on this week's edition of Not Another Philly Sports Talk Show. You might have seen that in Wednesday's Inquirer, Mike Sielski wrote a column about how even though the Eagles say Sam Bradford is their No. 1 quarterback, it won't be long before Carson Wentz is on the field and overtakes Bradford on the depth chart. When is the transition most likely to happen? That's the first talking point for Mike, David Murphy and Jonathan Tannenwald on the podcast. Each of them has some thoughts about when Wentz will be given the proverbial keys to the car. From there (perhaps not surprisingly), they get into trying to figure out just what the heck the Eagles were doing when, after signing Bradford to a starter-worthy contract, they changed course and went all-in on Wentz. After the show finally solves the Eagles' quarterback problems - a feat it seems the team itself has yet to accomplish - the discussion moves to the Phillies' red-hot start to the season. Mike, Dave and Jon are joined by Fox Sports and MLB Network insider Ken Rosenthal to take a look at whether the Phillies' future could arrive sooner than everyone expected.

This week's edition of Not Another Philly Sports Talk Show looks back at Villanova's run to glory in the NCAA Tournament, and the epic title game win over North Carolina. David Murphy, Mike Sielski and Jonathan Tannenwald discuss how big of an impact Kris Jenkins' buzzer-beater had on the Philadelphia sports landscape, and what happens to Villanova now. Is the controversy over whether the Wildcats should have a parade in Center City really that big a deal at all? What would it take for Jay Wright to leave the Main Line for the NBA? And can another Big East school without a big-time football program win a national championship? We'll get back to talking about the Eagles next week. We promise.

The latest edition of Not Another Philly Sports Talk Show digs into the news coming out of the NFL meetings in Boca Raton - in particular Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie's statements about Howie Roseman's role with the team, which raised a lot of eyebrows back home. David Murphy, Mike Sielski and Jonathan Tannenwald try to figure out what Lurie and Roseman are trying to do, and whether the path the Eagles brass seems to be following might ultimately end in disaster. Once everyone in the studio finally ran out of breath, they cooled off by taking some questions from listeners on Twitter about how the Phillies are shaping up. The show finishes with a discussion of Mike's recent column on Temple basketball coach Fran Dunphy, and why he's respected by so many people but hated by a vocal contingent of Owls fans.
