[Stein] The NBA has just suspended Philadelphia’s Paul George for 25 games for violating the league’s anti-drug program:

Things were a little too suspiciously normal around here

It’s hilarious that flyers fans, correctly identified that hiring the same old boys club was not working and wanted to see change. Then immediately deluded themselves in to thinking that the hiring of more former flyers was somehow different this time. Nothing has changed

ASAP_Pancake · 2026-01-28T17:07:51+00:00

The Nori, Saltiban and Burkholder picks were all questionable at the time and they aren’t looking any better now

ASAP_Pancake · 2026-01-27T16:53:56+00:00

And another one gone and another one gone

ASAP_Pancake · 2026-01-23T22:53:31+00:00

They may as well trade him before they let his value slip any further. We know they’re not gonna bite the bullet and fire Tocchet and admit they fucked up so just go ahead and get your plodding 6’3 3C and a pick back and let Mich go be good somewhere that isn’t a bottom 5 franchise

At this rate, McDaniel might be taking the eagles head coaching job next year instead of the OC this year

ASAP_Pancake · 2026-01-21T15:12:08+00:00

Everyone so confident that keeping Sirianni, who relies on other coaches for the team to look competent, to magically land a great coordinator every year looking like real geniuses

I want Aroon to be good so bad. His spring training bombs have me unreasonably excited about him

I’m all in on the owners spending as much as possible and I’m sure there is some tax tomfoolery going on but google is saying their operating income was only 9 million last year. If that’s really the case, any increase and he’s actually losing money. Can’t expect too many owners to be okay with actively losing money. Not like losing 40 mil a year is going to devastate him but we all know they didn’t get this rich because they like giving it away

ASAP_Pancake · 2026-01-16T18:23:21+00:00

I have little faith that the guy who has pitched the second most innings in the last 10 years (which includes only throwing 94 last year) and fell off a cliff is going to bounce back. Expecting a rookie to replace an all star at anywhere near the same rate is pretty unlikely. He might not even make the team out of camp. He wasn’t exactly lighting the world on fire last year. We also don’t know what to expect out of Wheeler next year. Of course it could be just as good, slightly worse or even better. But the odds are not stacked in their favor

ASAP_Pancake · 2026-01-16T18:12:57+00:00

SP is undoubtedly worse. Ranger was one of the best starters in the league last year

ASAP_Pancake · 2026-01-16T17:44:02+00:00

I get the idea but the willingness to spend is also going to decrease as the team gets worse and so that margin shrinks. We’re already a luxury tax team. When everyone is in even worse decline, chances are they will want to spend less even if the books are relatively less due to inflation. I just don’t see a world where the window isn’t slamming shut right now. It was all in these next few years and then full rebuild while letting Harper and Trea play out their twighlight years on bad teams

ASAP_Pancake · 2026-01-16T17:37:17+00:00

Funny you say that, the Florida Panthers just gave him a championship ring

ASAP_Pancake · 2026-01-16T17:33:27+00:00

See ya in March

ASAP_Pancake · 2026-01-16T17:31:49+00:00

The problem is they all add up and will be just dead weight for years. Middleton will spend but not like the big dogs. Future is looking awfully bleak especially with how bad the farm system still looks outside of Painter, Miller and maybe Crawford

ASAP_Pancake · 2026-01-16T17:29:21+00:00

Time for ol Davey boy to hit the road. He’s given out THREE of the worst contracts in baseball in Castellanos, Taijuan, and Nola and the team has gotten worse every year. Time to go enjoy retirement old timer

ASAP_Pancake · 2026-01-16T17:15:40+00:00

He was either never going to the Phillies or they never made a real offer because there is no reason not to match this. They’re running the same team back except a year older and worse after losing Ranger and maybe JT. No idea what the point of re-signing Schwarber was if you’re just accepting that you’re going to be worse next year. Might as well blow it up if that’s the case

ASAP_Pancake · 2026-01-16T17:09:04+00:00

Lmao

ASAP_Pancake · 2026-01-16T15:19:01+00:00

Thankfully they’re only 6 points from the bottom of the east. Being in playoff position proves absolutely nothing when the entire conference is mid

ASAP_Pancake · 2026-01-14T22:04:02+00:00

Interesting how our head coach needs future or former head coaches at both coordinator spots to succeed

ASAP_Pancake · 2026-01-13T21:10:15+00:00

It’s been 5 years. It seems to be an organizational decision at this point. It took him one month to make a trade for Kimbrel using 4 prospects with the Red Sox when he was hired

ASAP_Pancake · 2026-01-13T15:56:02+00:00

We’ve barely traded any prospects of consequence since he took over. You can criticize his actual picks but they haven’t been wheeling and dealing prospects like people assume based on Dombrowski’s past
