Philadelphia: We like our wins like we like our partners...decisive
🏈Eagles: The Eagles are selecting 12th in tonight’s NFL draft, and it’s anyone’s guess what general manager Howie Rosman is going to do. We’re hopeful the Birds have the chance to select one of the two Alabama wide receivers (WRs), DeVonta Smith or Jaylen Waddle, but there’s also talk of snagging Northwestern’s offensive lineman Rashawn Slater.
- Our take? Forget the concerns about Smith’s size and weight, and if he’s still available, take the Heisman winner. Every. Time.
- The hottest take? The Eagles trade up to snag a top-five quarterback (*cough* Justin Fields *cough*). If that becomes the case, maybe Joel Embiid can be backup?
🏀Sixers: After a bout with injury and illness, the 76ers are back in full force. They won both their games this week, including Monday’s 121–90 win over the OKC Thunder and last night’s 127–83 victory over the Atlanta Hawks — which also clinched their playoff spot. Let’s go ring chasin’.
⚽️Soccer: The Penn State women’s soccer team crushed the Alabama State Hornets 5–0 in the first round of the NCAA tournament last night. The Big Ten regular season champs will now take on the No. 16 Vanderbilt Commodores on Saturday at 5 p.m. ET.
On the international stage, the Union continue to dominate, defeating the Atlanta United 3–0 in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Tournament quarterfinals on Tuesday. Can they do it again next Tuesday?
