As of 10:30 a.m. ET, Jordan Mailata is still an Eagle, and no major insider has reported talks. You're refreshing Schefter anyway, because yesterday Howie Roseman traded Jordan Davis, eight months after a $78 million extension. The number still holding Mailata is not a promise. It is about $45.3 million in dead cap, per Spotrac.
First 2-7 start since 1999. Longest losing streak since 2012's eight-game freefall. The league moved Pittsburgh to 1 p.m. on CBS. The Athletic has the playoff odds under 1 percent, via the Inquirer. Labeled Negadelphia take: this looks more like an end-of-era collapse than a Year One rebuild, and nobody has written the ending yet.
Bob Boone has died at 78, confirmed by his son Bret. He caught Tug McGraw's series-ending strikeout of Willie Wilson in Game 6 of the 1980 World Series, and he hit .412 in that Series, 7-for-17, with no strikeouts. A Philadelphia remembrance of the catcher behind that last pitch, the first title, and a three-generation baseball family.
The Flyers got a 3-1 win they needed in Vancouver. NBC Sports Philadelphia's cameras caught Matvei Michkov and Nick Seeler in a heated exchange on the bench. Twelve days after Seeler talked postgame about a "me, me, me" team, and named nobody, the tape is already sitting next to those comments. A fractured room, or a pulse? The people in it have not said.
Jordan Davis went yesterday. By 4pm, Howie decides how much further this goes.
The Eagles are 2-7, losers of seven straight, and if the season ended today they'd pick No. 5 overall — their highest pick since Carson Wentz. The rest of the season is a draft watch. Here's the pick, the picks, and the needs.
Turner has $190.9 million left and a full no-trade clause. Marsh is the only one who can actually move.
Richmond 79, Temple 53. The Spiders scored the first 14 points in a building Temple hadn't played in for four years, on the night it turned 100. One week after a 17-0 start, the Owls had as many turnovers as made field goals.
We might be wrong. But the Eagles are 2-6, the season is gone, and the kid can throw a football 73.5 yards in the air. If he plays well today, there is a real quarterback conversation going into next season.
The Eagles are 2-6, underdogs at home to the Giants, and your Sunday at 1 p.m. is free for the first time in years. Here are the options, from the sickos' choice to the radical one.
The Union play the most important game in the city today. The Eagles play a mystery. The Sixers try to forget Cleveland. College basketball is back in the Palestra. Here's the weekend, in order.
The Eagles are a five-alarm fire, the Flyers are a slow leak, and the only team winning is the one nobody trusts yet.
On Monday, Nick Sirianni told us Tanner McKee was his guy and nothing was changing. On Tuesday, he told McKee he was benched. Joe Milton starts Sunday. And for the first time in weeks, the Eagles did something interesting.
First it was Jurgens. Before that it was A.J. Brown. Now the rumor mill has the Eagles' franchise left tackle headed to Kansas City, to the coach who used to run this town. The deadline is Tuesday. Somebody please hold Howie Roseman's phone.
Twenty-one months after a Super Bowl, executives around the league are openly wondering if the Eagles draft Jalen Hurts' replacement next spring and start over at head coach too. The quarterback's health comes first in this story, and it should. But the football question is not going away.
Ken Rosenthal reported the only condition under which Harper would waive his no-trade clause: a new team extending him past 2031, into his forties. Five straight playoff exits have this town dreaming big. The math has other ideas.
Dylan Larkin will not waive for Philadelphia. So the reported plan is for the Flyers to help his trade happen anyway, ship out Owen Tippett, eat a contract, and walk away with a top prospect and a first-round pick. Clever. Also, completely unconfirmed.
LeBron James goes back to Cleveland tonight, and he is not coming alone. He is bringing the best team in the East, a five-game win streak, and a reminder of the 29-point lead the Cavs blew the last time these teams met.
The Sixers are 8-1 and 7-0 when games enter clutch time. Maxey is third in the league in clutch points. ESPN has them languishing bottom-10 in offensive efficiency while sitting top-three defensively; Basketball-Reference has them 20th ORtg / 2nd DRtg. Cleveland, 7:30 ET, NBA Cup. Sample size still applies.
Halftime was 54-31. Final was 97-93. Penn State set a program free-throw record at 43 of 49 and still watched Anigbata's three cut it to one possession with under a second left. Credit the free throws. Do not hide the second half. Pitt is next.
Burton was the purchase: 42.5 percent on 76 threes at Stephen F. Austin. He led La Salle with 15 points and four threes in the Houston opener. Volume is not a clinic. Homecoming against LIU is where the bet has to look real at home.
Last year Temple beat George Mason in overtime. This year Turner goes for 21 with five threes on the road and the Owls lose by 20. Credit her night. Do not hide the boards or the score. Navy at home is the next read.
Jhoan Duran threw a 1.82 ERA with 33 saves for the Phillies in 2026. Baseball-Reference has him free-agent eligible after 2027. That's one arbitration season of club control left, and every multi-year pitch sits under a Dec. 1 CBA clock.
Seventeen points, 10 rebounds, five assists, all career bests, in 39 minutes. The Lady Lions still dropped the home opener by one. Both things count.
Nine games, 28.0 points, 37.0 minutes, 5.4 assists, and an 8-1 team. We went looking for the asterisk. Here's what we found.
A useful first look against CCSU. Now take it to the Palestra without pretending one game settled anything.
The opener gave Nova fans a player performance to appreciate and a defensive result they can't wave away. Neither is a season verdict.
The Sixers are 8-1 with a roster that includes LeBron James, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown and Tyrese Maxey. Their local TV booth finished 29th of 30 in Awful Announcing's reader poll for the third year in a row. The idea that Marc Zumoff was part of the game without becoming the game does not fully hold up in the record.
Realmuto's OPS went .820, .762, .751, .699, .614, and it's the lowest among catchers with 400 or more plate appearances. The club wants him catching fewer games. Does that fix a bat?
Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown and Tyrese Maxey count $156,492,622 against the NBA's $164.961 million salary cap this season, 94.87 percent of it (Spotrac). Their deals all run through 2028-29, and Embiid's last year is a Spotrac-listed player option. On projected caps their share keeps climbing.
Howie Roseman paid the front. Through eight games, Carter and Nolan Smith Jr. have eight of the Eagles' 10 sacks. Davis and Greenard have half of one, and one of them has a real ankle excuse.
Per NBC Sports Philadelphia, the Phillies didn't make Alec Bohm the one-year, $23.15 million qualifying offer. He's a free agent with no draft pick attached, and Dave Dombrowski already told you what they're losing.
Monday: "Tanner's our guy." Wednesday, reportedly: a quarterback the Eagles signed off the Cowboys' practice squad on Oct. 16. Is it a fix or a panic button? On this offense, it's a fair gamble that doesn't touch the loudest problem.
Penn's unanimous All-Ivy forward was sick the last time he saw Illinois. Tonight at 8:30 on FS1 he gets a healthy look at the No. 3 team in the country.
Jaylen Brown scored 30, LeBron James made his 16,000th field goal, and the Sixers are 4-0 on the road. Enjoy it. Then listen to LeBron, who says it's too early to talk about the Finals, and look at how they've been getting there.
The Eagles' All-Pro tackle put the blame on the players, not the coach. He has the stats on his side. Does owning it fix anything by Sunday?
Free agency opened Monday. If there is no new labor deal by 11:59 p.m. Dec. 1, owners are expected to lock the players out and freeze the market. What does that do to a high-payroll team with holes?
A branded, sponsor-presented tailgate (Stouffer's and Xfinity) tied to the Kelce brothers' podcast runs on the Stateside plaza from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday. Here's what the venue says is there, and what it doesn't say.
The center wanted both ends of a back-to-back. The team said no, the foot is the stated reason, and the contract is the reason the argument matters.
Villanova's women open the 2026-27 season Sunday against Notre Dame in Rome, picked second in the Big East. Last season's three games with UConn show how big the gap to first place was, and how it moved from one game to the next.
Lemon has 25 catches for 194 yards and a touchdown through seven games, and he is on the field for about three of every four offensive snaps by one estimate. Among the first-round receivers in his class who have played, he is last in yards per game, per catch and per target.
The NFL reportedly swapped Shawn Hochuli's crew onto Sunday night in place of Alex Moore's. Hochuli's history with the Eagles is fine. The Eagles' own holding is what should keep you up on Sunday night.
The Atlantic 10 calls La Salle's women's team last season one of the strongest in program history, and the league's coaches still picked them 10th of 14. The roster page gives a reason to wonder, and so does the crowd count.
No. 14 Penn State got goals from Cooper Cutchins and Lilly Holmes and seven saves from Aby Deverka. Northwestern still shares the Big Ten regular-season title and, by its own account, keeps the top seed and a bye in the conference tournament.
Painter went 3-10 with a 5.40 ERA in his first big league season, then posted a 3.65 ERA over his last 11 starts. The club is preparing to enter 2027 with him in its projected rotation, and the good stretch is 61.2 innings long.
Zach Spiker's Drexel teams are 148-161 over ten seasons, and the Dragons' win total has fallen each year since 2023-24. The Coastal Athletic Association's coaches picked them ninth of 13 for 2026-27, one spot better than last year's pick.
Jaiden Glover-Toscano is on the Atlantic 10's preseason first team after 535 points, 433 field goal attempts and 33 assists. Derek Simpson, who had 188 of the Hawks' 556 assists, is not on the 2026-27 roster.
The Union had the lowest payroll in MLS in April, the worst record in MLS before the World Cup break and the best record after it. Does the run erase the first half, and can it last?
Michkov leads the NHL in shooting percentage at 42.9 among skaters with 20 or more shots, and he is taking fewer shots each year, 2.5 a game as a rookie and 1.4 now. The Flyers need the goals. The sample is 15 games, and the finishing rate is nowhere near his first two seasons.
Since Dave Dombrowski took over Phillies baseball operations in December 2020, the players the team got back in trades have produced +40.4 Baseball-Reference WAR in a Phillies uniform, and the players they sent away have produced +22.7 elsewhere. Five incoming players account for more than the entire gap, and nobody can price any of it without salaries.
The Sixers announced a multi-year deal Friday with Kalshi, which the team says makes them the first NBA team to name a prediction market partner. Financial terms of the Sixers-Kalshi partnership were not disclosed.
Villanova's coach pointed to thin crowds and blamed Temple and the other schools he says "broke it off" for the end of the Big 5 as we knew it. The attendance numbers are public. So is most of the rest of the record, and it points at money.
The Flyers own their 2027 first-round pick and, for now, Toronto's too. The cap room is projected, and one of the two numbers rests on a salary cap the league has only estimated.
The Eagles guaranteed Marquise "Hollywood" Brown $5 million in March, and by Over the Cap's math it cost them a projected 2027 sixth-round comp pick. Seven games in, he has played in two and caught two passes for 30 yards.
Steve Donahue won Atlantic 10 and Big 5 Coach of the Year at Saint Joseph's. Nine players who scored about 61 percent of last season's points are gone, and the A-10 picked the Hawks sixth.
Nobody has reported that Penn State is firing Matt Campbell. This is what the term sheet guarantees: $62.5 million in pay for 2027 through 2033, before any offset for what he'd earn somewhere else.
The money for A.J. Brown, Cam Jurgens and Lane Johnson is already on the books. What's left to pay for is a roster with a hole at right tackle and a first-round pick that sits at No. 6 if the season ended today (Oct. 30, 2026).
Ten players, $845.95 million still owed from 2027 on, and seven of them are 33 or older.
The Eagles say a selection committee picked their owner for the team's Hall of Fame. Beyond one name, the team hasn't said who's on it or what role the owner played. OPINION.
The Bears just paid two first-round picks for a defensive tackle. The Eagles' highest-paid one called his own season trash. The rot goes a lot deeper than one guy.
Milwaukee won it all on less than half Philly's payroll. The Phillies' staff led MLB in WAR. Their bats and gloves finished at or near the bottom.
The Eagles haven't won since Sept. 20. The Phillies' entire postseason fit inside that stretch, and a lockout could wipe out next season after Dec. 1. The Sixers are 8-1, the bright spot. The Flyers' captain called his team soft, and the coach agreed. We've been waiting for you.
