• Ready & Rested w/ Bill Colarulo
    Jan 3 2025
    Tek & Prem welcome Bill Colarulo of 97.5 The Fanatic on the VetLine to talk Eagles and Sixers. With the great Saquon debate settled, the focus shifts to the Wild Card Round at the Linc, in which either Green Bay or Washington will be coming to town. Jalen Hurts should be out of the concussion protocol by then and the rested Birds will have a shot to make their run at another Super Bowl on the heels of a record-setting season, in multiple regards. After their bye a full 3 months ago, they will get a much-needed reprieve in the season finale, with the 3-13 NY Giants coming in for a glorified preseason game. We'll get to see Tanner McKee and the backups take on one of the league's worst teams to close out the regular season. The NFC is wide open and the Eagles may be the most complete team, from top to bottom. The Sixers trudge on, trying to climb to .500 but dropping two straight games on the west coast in pursuit of that goal, in embarassing fashion. It looks more and more likely that they are headed for another early postseason exit. Segments include: VetPhact, VetLine, Prem's NFL Picks.Courtesy of the Vet Alumni Members Association (VAMA)

  • 11 Straight Wins?
    Dec 21 2024
    Tek & Prem welcome John Barchard back on the VetLine to talk Birds. As they head to DC on a franchise-record winning streak, Super Bowl expectations abound. The defense is young, fast, and plays smart ball. Vic Fangio is clearly in control of this unit. Jalen Hurts continues to win and win as does Nick Sirianni. With the Commanders in their path this Sunday, the Eagles will look for the season sweep over the NFC's present 7th seed. Ironically, if the season ended today, the Wild Card game at the Linc would be against these same Commanders. The drama around AJ Brown was overblown and the media again takes the L. AJ and Jalen are quite alright. All sights are set on a trip to New Orleans and the team's 4th Conference Title this century. The Phillies have been underwhelming so far this offseason, and the signing of OF Max Kepler doesn't change that. They continue to fall behind in the race for NL supremacy and the question remains: Can this core get it done in October as constructed?

  • Super Bowl Birds?
    Dec 6 2024
    Tek & Prem discuss the Eagles Super Bowl expectations and the product they have put on the field through 12 games in 2024. Nick Sirianni is a winner. Vic Fangio has gotten the most out of a young and hungry defensive unit. Jalen Hurts continues to be disrespected by the fanbase and nationally. A young Carolina Panthers team comes to town this Sunday for a 1 PM kickoff at the Linc, and while they have improved, recently, a Super Bowl contender at home should easily roll through them. The Lions are the NFC pace-setters but there is still a month of football to play and some challenging games on their schedule as the Eagles have a semi-cakewalk. Saquon Barkley is on a record rushing pace and the Eagles Defensive Line has been as dominant as we have seen in years. The Flyers are young, talented, and getting better at a rapid pace. The young sensation Michkov has been as advertised, and they play with a gritty energy as a unit. The Sixers are still a dumpster fire with stars who seemingly do not want to take the floor and compete.

  • Hurts vs. Jackson I
    Nov 30 2024
    The Eagles head down I-95 for the first ever matchup between starters Jalen Hurts & Lamar Jackson, as the Ravens host the 4:25pm Sunday kickoff on CBS. Each team has Super Bowl expectations and are in position to make their run to the big game in February. The Eagles are winners of 7 straight contests with firm control of the NFC East, as Washington has taken a step back in recent weeks. Saquon Barkley is on a torrid pace and appears to be the front-runner for the MVP as well as a threat to topple 2000 yards on the ground. He will need to have another big game if the Eagles want to knock off the Ravens, who happen to boast the NFL's top run-stopping defense. It's strength versus strength in this interconference matchup of contenders and potential Super Bowl preview. The Flyers are playing good hockey and appear poised to make a run at the NHL Playoffs, while the Sixers continue to lose games at a pace we haven't seen in a decade of basketball.

  • NFC East Leaders
    Nov 16 2024
    Tek & Prem welcome Tom Kelly of SportsRadio 94WIP on the VetLine to talk Eagles, Phillies & Sixers. The Eagles are in control of the NFC East and the defense is playing elite football. Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni continue to win despite spotty offensive play and the team is starting to look more like the contender we all expected them to be. With a mini-bye and then games against the Rams and Ravens, the Birds are in control of their own destiny and continuing to improve. From 2-2 to 8-2 is quite the feat in the NFL and barring injury, this team has a chance of returning to the Super Bowl. There is talk about the Phillies trading Alex Bohm and bringing in Alex Bregman to play 3rd. There is much intrigue this offseason regarding how they will or will not shake things up after a 3rd straight disappointing October. The Sixers are a disaster and losing fans by the day.

  • Four In A Row?
    Nov 1 2024
    The Eagles have won 3 straight, with their most recent win coming over a formiddable opponent in their own house, the Bengals. The team looked cohesive and passionate as they blew out Joe Burrow. This week, Doug Pederson returns to the Linc with his struggling Jags team to try and get on track. Jalen Hurts has played turnover-free football for 3 weeks and has pushed the right buttons in tandem with playcaller and coordinator Kellen Moore. The NFC is wide open and the Birds are firmly in the mix. The Sixers are redefining the word joke, and it's a shame for the fanbase and the players. Nick Nurse is in a horrible position with no answers to give. If they want to turn it around, it may take more than some injured stars returning, but rather a change in organizational philosophy.

  • Phils Sent Packing, Onto The Birds
    Oct 11 2024
    Tek & Prem welcome Coggin of Crossing Broad on the VetLine for the Phils 2024 eulogy. Another October ends without a parade down Broad Street, as the bats go silent, the bullpen collapses, and a division-rival dismisses them in 4 games. Many questions about this team abound, the makeup of the guys, the mental toughness and ability to perform when lights are brightest. Only a handful of Phils came to play and the rest of the team was essentially a shell of their regular season form, a form which saw the team win 95 games, the 6th-most in a single season in franchise history. The Eagles host the woeful Browns off the bye week and are fully healthy after the layoff. Jalen Hurts has many doubters to prove wrong and it remains to be seen if he will. The defense needs to produce pressure and there is no better time to start than against one of the worst offenses in football thus far. Historically, Cleveland holds a 14-10 record in Philly, but have dropped 5 of the last 6 games against the Birds overall.

  • Red October Returns, Birds Embarrassed w/ Matt Hamilton of FanDuel TV
    Oct 4 2024
    Tek & Prem welcome Matt Hamilton of FanDuel TV onto the VetLine to talk Eagles and go around the NFL. The Birds lose a terrible game in Tampa Bay and continue to struggle against the Bucs. There are many burning questions about this team as they limp into the bye. With a home matchup against Watson and the Browns out of the bye at the Linc on the horizon, a solid win is desperately needed to restore confidence in the team's Playoff outlook. Jalen Hurts may have a weapon or two back in the lineup and Lane Johnson as well. The Phils will face the Mets in the NLDS and it starts tomorrow at the Bank at 4:08 PM. The Mets stunned the Brewers and come in as the hottest 2nd half team in MLB. Expectations are high for a Phils team that won 95 games, has a phenomenal lineup & bullpen, and has reached at least the NLCS in two straight seasons. The big bats have to be active and Bryce must return to Showman-form for the Phils to win another pennant.
