Eytan Shander: The Eagles aren't doing Carson Wentz any favors heading into 2020 season

by Eytan Shander

Once again, we find ourselves building up the most unrealistic expectations — expectations we then watch come up short, leaving us to wonder what could have been. This year — this ridiculously crazy year — you’re off the hook.

Eytan Shander: Sixers should trade Ben Simmons — not because they want to, but because they have to

by Eytan Shander

The Philadelphia 76ers are an unmitigated disaster right now — no thanks to ownership and the toxic culture created since the league-sanctioned ousting of Sam Hinkie. Once again, the deck of the Titanic will be shuffled around, making sure there will be difficulty in pinpointing who is actually responsible for all of these terrible decisions. So instead of pounding the pavement with my bare knuckles for the next 600 words, let me offer a solution to getting out of this real trouble.

Eytan Shander: Only Josh Harris can save the Sixers — by selling the team to people who care

by Eytan Shander

This is tough to watch. It’s even tougher to say. The Sixers are an absolute train wreck. This is a problem from top down and has put this team in the worst possible place: NBA purgatory, just good enough to make the playoffs, just bad enough to get knocked out in the first round.

Eytan Shander: Flyers fans deserve better as their team contends for Stanley Cup

by Eytan Shander

You really know things are starting to return to normal when absurd expectations are attached to a team. There was always a fine line between being happy your team won and then attaching some ridiculous future to said team, one that if not met, provides nothing but anguish.

Eytan Shander: Bryce Harper for Phillies GM

by Eytan Shander

Welcome home, Bryce Harper. The man is going to be here for a while and has had no issue settling in. Harper has gone to many lengths to embrace the fans - successfully – and is now throwing his hat in the GM ring. As one of those aforementioned fans, I couldn’t be happier.

Eytan Shander: Moving Ben Simmons to power forward won't save the Sixers

by Eytan Shander

This feels like a longshot. A hail Mary as the clock ticks down to zero. It smells of desperation and might be crazy enough to work. Might be…

Eytan Shander: DeSean Jackson needs to learn his lesson, but cutting him would be a bit much

by Eytan Shander

I am appalled and disgusted by what Jackson posted — and also rather amazed at how someone can misattribute quotes to, of all people, Hitler. But I don’t think he should be cut.

Eytan Shander: Sixers have the most to gain, and lose, from sports restart

by Eytan Shander

Outside of someone contracting the virus, the failures of the Sixers will be on them, and should move on accordingly once pre-season expectations come up short.
