A pic for our immigrant parents. Two Indian-Americans hosting
@SportsCenter
tonight. Never thought I’d see this let alone be a part of it. Zubin and I promise to work hard and make our families proud.
Call me a mama’s boy and I’ll say “hell yeah.” She was the toughest person I knew. She loved unconditionally. An immigrant w no education but dreamed big and would later earn multiple degrees while raising 2 boys to be strong. She was my hero. Now you can rest. I love you, Mom ❤️
This is my beautiful mom. I’ve never met anyone stronger or more loving than her. She’s a fighter. And right now, she’s in for the fight of her life. I believe in the power of prayer. If you could, please pray for her. We will need them. ❤️
Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson, Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham deserved a better finish together as teammates. Thank you to them for all they have given to the city.
The Colts failed to clinch a playoff spot against a 2 win Jaguars team and still give up a 1st round pick to the playoff-bound Eagles for Carson Wentz. Incredible.
Didn’t want to focus on it last night but real talk here- the cheering when Embiid went down twice last night? We all know how the lazy narrative would go if it were Philly fans... what does Atlanta have to say about that nonsense? My point- there’s no excuse for it anywhere.
If today is

Wow. This is an embarrassing suspension by the Orioles. Kevin Brown was simply stating a fact and underlying how good this team has been without being critical. Suspending him for this draws more attention. What a bad look during a fantastic season.
Here's the clip of Kevin Brown's pregame comments on the Orioles' recent record against the Rays ahead of a series finale on July 23. Sources tell AA these comments led to Brown's current indefinite suspension from Orioles' broadcasts.

Man... This is devastating. And today is Ed’s birthday. He was a good man. Loved talking about the biz, college football and his Gators. He will be missed by so many people. I can’t believe this. Life is so precious. Say a prayer for him and his family.
Devastated to hear my friend

has passed away after a battle with pneumonia.
Ed was a big reason I decided to pursue journalism. He took me under his wing at the Sun and I’m forever grateful.
Incredible reporter and an even better person. You will be missed!
Not one single
@Eagles
player knelt during the National Anthem in the 2017 regular season and playoffs. Not one Eagles player chose to stay inside the locker room. This has been a team that has been united while respectfully having different opinions.
We treat stars like they’re superheroes. Transcending. Unrelenting. Immortal. Kobe was all of that on the floor. Over time, he let the public in and showed the human side. He embraced being a teacher and pupil. He loved being a dad to his daughters. This is how I’ll remember him.
The
@sixers
unloaded the Horford contract, brought in a veteran shooter in Danny Green and untapped potential in 22 yr old Terrance Ferguson while drafting Tyrese Maxey. Today was a good day.
Excuses:
-not a fit w Joel
-fans too hard on him
-couldn’t make mistakes early
Reality:
-Sixers gave Simmons MAX deal
-pressure off him when they acquired Jimmy
-let Jimmy walk so he could run O
-never improved shooting
-refused to take 3s
-fans had his back til “the pass”
One more thing about tonight- we boo cause we care but don’t be that knucklehead who goes overboard and feeds into a narrative that you hate. Don’t throw anything. Don’t talk about family. Don’t be the story. Let the Sixers be the story. In the end, Philly got James Harden.
Matt Colburn had his scholarship taken away by Bobby Petrino 2 days before signing day. Petrino wanted to greyshirt him. Colburn would later walk on at Wake Forest. Today, he rushed for a career-high 243 yds w 3 TDs in a 56-35 win over Petrino and Louisville.
Let’s get one thing straight about Philly fans and the booing. We boo cause we actually care. We’re invested in what is going on. I’d rather be a part of that than being apathetic and unattached. In the end, we’re fiercely loyal to people who care about the game as much as we do.
The Phillies are the 1st team in MLB history to add 3 position players in an offseason, all of whom were All-Stars in the previous season (Bryce Harper, J.T. Realmuto, Jean Segura).
“When is the last time she threw a touchdown pass in a game?”….wooooo buddy… the testosterone insecurity is at a 10… funny how Jeff says this about
@minakimes
and no one else… Mina- keep doing your thing and ignore this BS.
The Eagles won the NFC East.
Their playmakers around Carson Wentz to finish off the Giants today:
Scott, Goedert, Ward, Perkins, Davis, Burnett.
Incredible job from those guys.
Good luck critics going after Carson now.

With a backup QB, the Eagles commit 4 turnovers and give up a 3rd and 30 and the Cowboys barely hold on. I’m more concerned about the health of Lane, Davis, Maddox.
Tyrese Maxey should be untouchable in the next 6 days. It’s the Nets who could lose Harden for nothing this summer. Why give up too much now? Morey has played the long game for the right deal and he can because of the length of Simmons contract.
Shoutout to Seth Curry and Andre Drummond. Two vets who found perfect roles in the Philly rotation to help the Sixers. It will be weird to see them in Nets threads in the coming months.
Disappointed? Frustrated? Of course. But it’s absurd what this
@Eagles
team dealt with.. Lose WRs, RB, OL, DBs.. Go on a late run w backups everywhere.. clinch division.. franchise QB gets hurt in his first playoff game and lose by one possession.. Much respect to this squad.
Philly fans are well aware how good Ben Simmons is… they accepted his mistakes because they see potential greatness… what they had a hard time accepting was he never improved on the mistakes. He avoided working on them in the regular season.. in the playoffs, they get exposed.
A Pro Bowl offensive line that sings Christmas songs? Only the
@Eagles
OL can do this… (shout-out to ESPNer Austin Lemkuil for this edit)

If there was a free agent playbook on how to make a fanbase run through a wall for you, it’s what Bryce Harper has said and done since he came to Philly.
I’ve defended him for years but it’s tough watching Ben Simmons struggle on offense. I hate how it’s turned out for him. He won’t even look at the rim anymore. Just handing the ball off every time down the floor. Never thought it would be like this in year 4.
No Embiid.. No Tobias.. No Seth.. No Tisse.. The chemistry and depth of this Sixers team is something we haven’t seen in years… really fun to watch them play w heart.
This game is living up to the hype. And the fact that the Eagles beat the Chiefs and Bills in a span of 6 days makes this season’s final 2 months even more bewildering and aggravating.
I have no interest in reading other people’s interpretations on Ben Simmons’ mental health. I’m not him. You’re not him. That’s his personal battle.
If he’s happy in Brooklyn- good for him.
I’m happy Philly has James Harden.
And.. Philly fans had Simmons back for years.
My sons are two years apart and they can’t live with or without each other in every aspect… especially in sports competition. Looking forward to showing them this side by side video so we can have 40 secs of peace before the next argument on who won nerf basketball.
Forgive me if you've seen this....
But whoever created the dual shot of Travis Kelce reacting to Jason Kelce discussing their childhood during his retirement speech just made me cry like a baby.
I can't state enough how much I love, love, love Jason and Travis Kelce.
Even though…
And….that’ll do it. The worst collapse in Eagles history.
Peaked in Bills OT win. Never felt like they were 10-1. The frustration eventually matched the play as losses mounted and panic buttons were pressed w Patricia.
Way too much talent for this to fall apart this quickly.
Eagles coaching staff will get the blame/attention but a roster featuring bad drafts, bloated contracts and awful free agent signings is what really plagues them. Pair that w the shortcomings of the staff… brutal. High future picks don’t mean a thing if you can’t evaluate talent
We really doing this Ben Simmons- Philly fans thing again? The Sixers fanbase has supported and been patient w Simmons for years. This isn’t on the Philly fans.
One of my favorite pics. My mom came to America and raised 2 boys while getting a GED. She later took me to night school while she studied to become a nurse. I watched my role model go after her dreams and get a Masters. I am who I am because of her.
#internationalwomensday
Sixers fans- worry about the playoffs in the spring. Just enjoy the greatness of Joel Embiid leading this team right now. He has been dominant, efficient and fun to watch in Nick Nurse’s system.
I do find it funny how some think I don’t want Andy Reid to succeed. It’s comical. Him winning a Super Bowl would be celebrated by many, if not all, Eagles fans.
We live in an era where shooters are required in the NBA, star receivers are essential in the NFL and bullpens dominate MLB. And Philly teams fall short in all 3... it’s maddening... Thank God, the Flyers finally have a young franchise goaltender.
