Crossing Streams

Kevin, Dave and I break down the Philly Sports Media Field of 64 with deep, in-depth analysis of the bracket, potential matchups, and absolute fantasy matchups of Bruno-Missanelli, Macnow-Missanelli and Kapadia-McManus. Also, Kevin talks about how he was 48 hours away from death last week (literally) and the time he showed TO a picture of his own dick. And I explain my decision not to post said picture.

Jay Wright talks about Villanova's season, coaching in the NCAA Tournament, his favorite players that he's coached at Nova, suits, conference realignment, and how he didn't kill someone when Allan Ray was called for traveling against North Carolina in 2005. Also, Matt joins to talk about the NCAA Tournament, the Phillies, and the Philly Media Field of 64.

HOT SPORTS TAKES on gay rights issues— Johnny Weir’s outfits, Michael Sam, and Mike Missanelli’s apology. A.J. Burnett and why he makes senses. Why you should get off Shaun White’s dick. Munching Mara. Hermione. And making jalapeño infused tequila.

The 2008 Phillies, steroids, Pat Burrell, interviewing for the Phils broadcasting job, fans running onto the field, and hockey.

Discussing the ridiculous Bobby Abreu signing. Dave's Dan Baker impersonation (and his clicking mic problem). Radio Wars. Twitter fighting with Ike Reese. The best pizza at the Jersey Shore. Mandatory Richard Sherman opinion.

Special guest Glen Macnow of WIP. We talked about the changing sports media landscape, TMZ-style reporting, getting to know Charlie Manuel, online commenters, being the unwitting subject of news stories, Glen’s new role with WIP and CBS, and a little sports and TV.

SPECIAL TWO-PART EPISODE: Part 1-- Immediate reaction to news that Chris Wheeler and Gary Matthews will be taken off the air. Part 2-- A discussion with sports TV writer Dave Warner, who wrote a good piece on the longterm sustainability of the Phillies' deal with CSN. And some cord-cutting talk.

Phillies beat writer Kevin Cooney joins us to discuss the Phillies' new, MASSIVE TV deal with Comcast SportsNet, and what the Phils will or won't do with all that money. Also: Eagles-Saints, misunderstanding mummers, NFL teams not selling out, and more.

Why Sunday sets up as the best division clincher day since 2007, why women (and men) prefer the rugged Chase Utley over Cole Hamels, the best Christmas movies, when it's acceptable to listen to Christmas music, why Dave cried during Lord of the Rings, the end of GSD, and more.

Dave and I are joined by Philly-based comedian slash faux Applebees marketing guru slash documentarian slash former WIP worker, the very funny Kevin Matuszak, who joined us live from a poolside in LA, where he's staying with Playboy Playmate and Philly native Val Keil (really). Dave and I were huddle together in my office.This was supposed to be a 10-20-minute conversation about a few things and it turned into 73 minutes-- discussing jersey fouls, the best bar and grill restaurant chains, etiquette for approaching athletes in bars, Howard Eskin being a good dude, Peter Luukko, Flyers beat writers, Guy Fieri, and how Jay Z can flip the agent world on its head by branding Magna Carta-Williams.

Carlos Ruiz's agent joins us. Also: lazy D.C. reporters, McCoy, Phils Twitter, "though."
