Number one pick from the celtics. Is fultz the real deal worth giving up one extra first round pick. Not a high price. The reason hes worth it, hes the best player in the draft for the sixers. He might not be an all world guy and be the dazzling ben simmons, but hes going to help them. The two guard, he can play as well as the one. Theyre going to play him at point guard. But this kid can play off of ben simmons on the two. And simmons not at point guard. And they can change the experiment where he goes to the three position. Theres your starting point guard. A lot of versatility. Up and down the floor. Shoot a little bit, has to improve that. But a great handle as you can see and gets to the basket. That much of a difference in fultz than any other guy in the draft . No. Fox is my favorite player in the draft, but this guy fits more than the aaron fox. He can slide to the two. He can shoot the jump shot where fox is more of a penetrator, get into the paint, throw up a tear drop well, fultz is drawing comparisons to james hardin. Mvp candidate. He dreamed of become the first overall pick. I think it would be cool being with a young team. The upside of it would be crazy. Like i said, close to home. So my friends come out and show love. This city has great fans yes, they do. He showed up yesterday with his personal sixers hat talking about cheese steaks. Yeah, very impressive. The only thing i question, why did he go to washington . Why werent there better offers out of high school . He was a late bloomer. He was cut from his High School Varsity Basketball Team as a sophomore p by the time he was a senior, a big time prospect. Are you wavering . No. Hes the best player for the sixers inside position. Had to do it. Keeping simmons at the point, or fultz there. Ive never been a simmons at the point guy. Neither have i. I would rather him be the point forward, lebrontype of role. But theyre determined to work this project through with ben simmons as the point guard. See what happens. Check this out, joel embiid with ben simmons and robert covington. Come on, man. Get out of there, covington. And embiid saying this should be legendary. Are the sixers now contenders in the east with fultz as their one of their guards . No. Theyre not contenders. But theyre going to move up in the process. Trust the process. You know . Theyre going to get in the playoffs with this guy, i think. In the bottom rung. Theyre not ready for the clevelands or the bostons of the world. Right. But are they in the playoff picture . I think they are in the playoff picture as an eighth seed, seventh seed. Well take it. We need it. All right. For the sam hinkey haters, give him credit . No question. Give him credit or say it took too long to get us to the point where we can start winning games. No. The only way to win was to do it the way he did it. The celtics didnt do it this way. They grabbed three superstars, that era or the era now . The current era. They drafted some players that came through for them. But they werent ready to beat cleveland. So i think the slow, concrete process of drawing up and turning into concrete i think is what the sixers are doing here. And i think theyre a lot closer to when they were. And this was the idea that sam had all along. Maybe he will get another gh job. The sixers feel closer to Something Special than the phillys. Worst start in 20 years. How about pete mccann nonsaying there is something missing. Great revelation, pete. A lot missing. Lot. Like the bullpen. Blow another game. Thought he was the closer. Not getting it done. Then the original closer, gomez, gives up the solo homer. Phillys lose 54. Major League Leading 17th loss by one run. Played these guys tough. They have a heck of a good time. Played the red sox tough, the cubs tough. Played a lot of teams tough. The dodgers. We just fall short. Theres a Little Something missing and we just need to take it a step further. All right. As bad as they have been, they have the most onerun youre shaking your head. Come on. I hear that comment. Theyre in every game. You lose games. Its like the eagles saying that they lost a lot of games by seven or less. When you lose, you lose. Can you make the assessment that the phillys are close . No, theyre not close. Theyre not anywhere near close. Starting rotation is lousy, the bullpen is lousy. They cant string together hits. What are you talking about by giving them a participation trophy here . That they got close . What does that get you something in the standings . To get close . The valley athletic Little League baseball as a kid in ben salem, i won a lot of participation trophies. Im sure you did. I ended up here. Not in the major leagues, you win or you lose. Hate to break it you.

The eagles left tackle jason peters pulls off a move very few eagles have done. The eagles want peters to take a pay cut. He says, i dont think so. And not only does he say that, he says the eagles are going to give me more money. Peters, a one year extension with more guaranteed money. They havent done this for anybody, brian westbrook, reggie white, nobody. Peters is locked its called leverage. He knows that the eagles dont have a lot of backup tackles on their roster right now. So theyve got to survive with jason peter this is year if they were going to survive this year, they have to keep him happy. Another year. Ment right move . I think its the right move. Its not my money, of course. Im not spending it. So if you can get two years out of jason peters, it makes your line more solid. I would rather have peters and lane johnson than johnson and another. Helped them get it done. Theyre best friends and talk and text all the time. Sounds like an odd friendship, but that is the case. Carson wentz and rookies who report to Training Camp in five weeks, sal will be there too. Here are the three things im looking forward to watching in Training Camp. Start with the quarterback with number 1, carson wentz. The big thing in the west coast over the summer, get rid of the long release. Remember the pushback. They want carson wentz to bring it back here and fire it like that. Second thing im looking for, everybody is focused on the wide receivers. Im going to be focused on the running game. The eagles only ran the ball 41 of the time last year. By comparison, the cowboys were first in the league, 49 . Theyve got to help carson wentz. I want to see blunt, a lot of this, into the line of scrimmage. I want to seat eagles have more balance on offense. Third thing, you got to watch in Training Camp, is whether jim schwartz is bringing the blitz. Eagles only blitzed the quarterback 20 of the time. Fifthleast in the National Football league. That was the problem in the coverage in the secondary. Now inexperienced corners, they must blitz more to make the back end that much better. Hey, ill see you in Training Camp. For sports sunday, im sal palanonio. Espn. I dont know what happened to the ball. We give it to him, never got it back. That looks like he was deft at handling that baby. Hes got quite the arm. Yeah. Lets talk fliers, among the players they leave unprotected in the expansion draft. If they pick him, they will have Anthony Stolarz only. And steve mason is a free agent july 1st, and the fliers are not negotiating with him. So he could be done, and then just left with Anthony Stolarz. Either they think they wont take him because of his salary, or get rid of the salary to open up salary cap space to get a frontline goalie. I dont think thing hes a first string goalie. Yeah. Well, that is it for sports sunday. For mike, i am jeff. That is it. Good night, everybody. Happy fathers day. Chris christie addiction is a disease. It can happen to anyone. Help is within reach.
