Fans' ideal of Mark Sanchez isn't Eagles' reality




Not Another Philly Sports Talk Show show

Summary: Here's the latest episode of Not Another Philly Sports Talk Show. Daily News columnist Daily Murphy, Inquirer columnist Mike Sielski and Philly.com's Jonathan Tannenwald get into the week's biggest storylines in Philadelphia sports. First up: Why is a segment of the Eagles' fan base so devoted to backup quarterback Mark Sanchez? The answer says a lot about what drives the mentality of those fans, and what creates the perception that Sanchez can run Chip Kelly's offense better than Sam Bradford does. Then, in the wake of Shayne Gostisbehere's breakout performance for the Flyers against the Kings, the show turns to a little bit of hockey talk. If the Eagles don't make the playoffs this year, will the Flyers can snap the city-wide postseason drought that they started in 2014? Now that Gostisbehere has proven he belongs in the pros, will Dave Hakstol and Ron Hextall move toward getting more of their prospects ice time in NHL games? And if the Eagles don't make it this year, and the Flyers aren't next, could it be... yes, really... the 76ers? They might not be as far off as the team's critics think.
