Singer Claims Sixers Prevented Her From Performing National Anthem Because Of "We Matter" Jersey

Singer Sevyn Streeter was supposed to perform the national anthem at the Philadelphia 76ers home opener this evening, but instead, a member of the Sixers’ dance team took the microphone before the game.

Joel Embiid Says He Learned To Shoot By Watching White People Online

Joel Embiid, who’ll make his NBA debut tonight, wants our attention, so badly. He seeks it in many ways: by guzzling Shirley Temples by the syrupy pitcher, by clowning on Andrew Wiggins, or by publicly asking out Rihanna. And we give it to him, maybe a little begrudgingly, because the content is goo...

Joel Embiid Appears To Actually Be The Truth<em></em>

We rip on the Sixers more or less constantly because of their cynical, anti-fan approach to sports and their former tech-worshipping leader’s insane hubris, but goddamn it, Joel Embiid is actually cool. Please enjoy him dancing a bunch then casually flushing a huge windmill. ...

You Probably Won't See Ben Simmons Play This Season

The Philadelphia 76ers confirmed this afternoon that Ben Simmons’s foot injury was a Jones fracture. This was the most-feared scenario for the rookie, not only because the history of big men with foot problems is not full of happy endings, but because a Jones fracture in particular is a tricky injur...

Ben Simmons Fractures A Bone In His Foot

Philadelphia 76ers number one overall draft pick Ben Simmons has fractured “the fifth metatarsal bone of his right foot,” the team announced. The injury was suffered when he rolled his ankle while scrimmaging earlier today, and the team didn’t announce a projected recovery timeline....

Nerlens Noel Has No Idea How The 76ers Will Manage Their Logjam Either

Nerlens Noel is a center. Though he played some power forward last year in an attempt to accommodate Jahlil Okafor, center is the position he played his rookie year, and when Okafor was off the court, and it’s really the only position he fits because of his size and his lack of offensive game. ...

Carson Wentz Sure Looks Legit

Carson Wentz won the second straight start of his professional career over the Bears tonight, 29-14. The Bears are no great foe (Pro Football Focus had their secondary as the second-worst in football), but Wentz led his offense this evening with rare composure for a neophyte. He threw for 190 yards,...

Report: The Browns Fired A Bunch Of Scouts Who Liked Carson Wentz

I do not know what the future holds for the careers of Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, or the buttload of draft picks the Browns received from Philadelphia for the rights to Wentz. I only know that Cleveland could desperately use a quarterback now and going forward, and that the Eagles firmly believe they...

A.J. Burnett Told Andrew McCutchen To Hit Two Homers, So He Did

The Pirates whacked a mess of dingers in their 15-2 win in Philadelphia, but none quite so on-demand as Andrew McCutchen’s. Former Pirate (and Phillie) A.J. Burnett visited the Bucs’ clubhouse before the game, and, like a dying child, he had a request for his favorite slugger....

Here's An Old "Haters Gonna Say It's Fake" Video From High School-Era Carson Wentz

This one’s pretty self-explanatory. Tipster Ed sent us this video of a young Carson Wentz and his friends fucking around and creating a proto-“Haters gonna say it’s fake” video of themselves throwing paper into the trash. It was uploaded in 2011. It made me laugh much more than I thought it would. T...
