Opening Day Can’t Come Soon Enough | Around South Philly Ep. 8

Pull up a chair and join Danica and Cole for another episode of Around South Philly — unfiltered, emotional, and deeply unserious in all the best ways.

This week, Philly sports gave us plenty to spiral about. The Eagles’ free agency shuffle has some familiar faces heading out the door, which leaves a few emotional goodbyes and a lot of questions about what comes next.

The Sixers, meanwhile, continue to test everyone’s patience after some brutal injury news that has the fanbase wondering how much more pain one season can hold.

At least the Phillies are creeping closer to giving us something to believe in again. With baseball season around the corner and a few moments getting fans excited, the smell of spring at Citizens Bank Park is finally in the air.

And of course, the Flyers provide their usual dose of chaos — which leads to a rant or two.

Plus, we bring back Philly Sports Superstitions to see which foods are actually helping the teams win, make our best Phillies pool party assumptions and we close things out with our Awards of the Week.

General Discussion: 0:40 Philly Superstitions: 9:42 Our Super Totally Definitely Not Biased Assumptions 12:46 Awards of the Week: 25:36

If you live and breathe Philly sports (and the chaos that comes with it), you’re in the right place. Tune in next week for more wacky, emotional, South Philly sports nonsense with Danica and Cole.
