• Bluey is coming to KOP 🐾

• Delco gets the podcast treatment🎙️

Delco’s FBI Heist Gets the Podcast Treatment 🎙️

In case you missed it, Ed Helms (yes, The Office guy) has turned his podcast, Snafu, toward a slice of Delco history—the 1971 heist at the FBI Office in Media. This wasn’t just any break-in; it exposed J. Edgar Hoover’s secret surveillance of U.S. citizens.

Journalist Betty Medsger broke the story back then and now teams up with Helms to revisit this wild chapter in both U.S. and Delco history.

Philadelphia Phillies (71-50)

Finally some good news from the Phils. In addition to a 13-3 win over the Nationals, last night, rookie Weston Wilson hit for the cycle! This is the first cycle from a Phillies rookie, and just the 10th cycle in franchise history.

Latest Scores

8/15 Nationals 3 @ Phillies 13
8/14 Marlins 5 @ Phillies 0

Upcoming Games

8/16-8/18: Nationals @ Phillies

Philadelphia Eagles (2-0)

Well, we guessed wrong on Wednesday. The majority of the Eagles starters did not play in last night’s preseason game. It’s always nice when they win, even in the preseason. But the question is, will the Eagles starters be game-ready when it comes time for the first regular season game?

(8/15) Eagles 14 @ Patriots 13

Next Preseason Game

(8/24 @ 1 PM) Vikings @ Eagles

Philadelphia 76ers

Sixers Schedule Drop: 🏀 Sixers fans, mark your calendars! The 2024-25 season tips off at home on October 23rd against the Bucks, featuring Paul George’s debut in Philly. Key matchups include an early West Coast swing with a November 6th showdown against George’s former team, the Clippers. And don't miss the Christmas Day clash with the defending champion Celtics. The full schedule is out, so start planning your game nights now!
