(8:18 - 32:05) Nick Sirianni addresses the media following the Eagles' victory over the Lions, with a score of 16-9, on Sunday night. He elaborates on the team's strong defensive performance, the challenges faced on offense, and his rationale for opting to attempt a fourth down in his own territory against the Lions. (32:05 - 43:05) Bill and Ricky express their opinions regarding Nick Sirianni's press conference. Ricky believes that Dallas Goedert is the sole constant for the team.

(10:48-23:23) Meanwhile, Bill, who has been critical of Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell, may find himself reconsidering his stance after Campbell's recent remarks regarding the "push tush" play and the Eagles' home field advantage (23:23-36:40) Additionally, we feature voice memos from listeners offering their thoughts on the AJ Brown situation, as well as insights on Dan Campbell and Kevin Patullo. (36:40-43:58) The 76ers have released an injury report that includes updates on Joel Embiid, VJ Edgecombe, and the assignment of Jared McCain to the Delaware Blue Coats.

AJ Brown Just Wants The Best For This Eagles Team (Hour 3)
(0:00-11:20) Sylvana kicks off the hour with "Give Me More," discussing notable figures like Britain Covey and Greg Olsen, as well as recent changes to betting regulations that will affect public wagering. (11:20-19:23) When AJ Brown expresses his thoughts, Bill interprets it as a desire for the team to reach its full potential on the field. (19:23-27:57) We hear audio of AJ articulating his frustrations, which Ricky believes stem from a genuine effort to elevate the performance of his teammates. AJ, aware of what it takes to secure a Super Bowl victory, feels the current team is not yet positioned to compete for that title. (27:57-39:31) Additionally, the passing game has struggled, rendering the notion of AJ serving merely as a decoy inaccurate; the Eagles' passing offense ranks among the lowest in the league and requires significant improvement for the team to achieve success.

Tim McManus From ESPN Joins The Show And Believes AJ Brown Is A Great Leader (Hour 2)
(0:00-10:14) MLB Free Agency has commenced, and it appears increasingly likely that Ranger Suarez will depart from the Phillies due to financial constraints. In this context, we feature insights from MLB Agent Scott Boras, who discusses both Ranger Suarez and Pete Alonso. (10:14-19:49) There have been discussions comparing AJ Brown to Nick Castellanos, a comparison that Bill finds unjust. He invites a caller who argues that Castellanos demonstrates superior leadership qualities compared to AJ. (19:49-30:43) Tim McManus from ESPN joins the show to discuss the drama surrounding AJ Brown. He believes that AJ Brown is good leader that is a Captain for a reason. He is effective in stating that the team needs to play better. AJ at his core has good intentions, but this time it feels different in how AJ is handling this frustration level. (30:43-39:12) Ricky is perplexed by the criticism surrounding AJ Brown's desire for the ball. It is common for wide receivers to express their frustrations when they are not targeted, as their primary role is to catch passes. AJ Brown's willingness to speak out reflects his commitment to the game, as he aimed to highlight an important issue rather than concern himself with potential backlash.

The Soap Opera At NovaCare Center (Hour 1)
(0:00-12:21) To kick off the show, we invite our listeners to share their perspectives on AJ Brown following his locker room press conference. Bill, after hearing the press conference, has come to view AJ Brown as a more effective leader than he previously believed. Meanwhile, Ricky expresses no concerns about Brown's candidness regarding the offense. (12:21-19:41) Bill's support for Brown post-conference is somewhat unexpected, prompting us to launch a Twitter poll to gauge listener opinions on Brown's remarks. (19:41-31:54) Ricky emphasizes that AJ Brown has the right to voice his opinions, acknowledging that not everyone may appreciate his approach. He believes Brown is striving to hold the team accountable, although there are questions about whether his outspoken nature could be seen as a distraction. To further explore this topic, we play audio from Nick Sirianni, who addresses whether AJ Brown's comments are indeed a distraction for the team. (31:54-41:19) Bill has never particularly admired Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell, but after Campbell's recent press conference in which he praised the Eagles, Bill has found a newfound respect for him. This unexpected display of sportsmanship has shifted Bill's perception, leading him to appreciate Campbell more than he initially did.

Addressing The New Drama Surrounding AJ Brown (Hour 4)
(0:00-12:48) The MLB offseason is in full swing, prompting discussions about the future of the Phillies' outfield. With expectations high for Justin Crawford's promotion to the major leagues next season, attention also turns to potential player movements within the team. As the organization evaluates its roster, several players may be considered for trades or other changes, shaping the team's strategy moving forward. (12:48-22:17) Alec Bohm has been at the center of trade discussions over the last two offseasons. Ricky suggests that Eugenio Suarez might be a suitable alternative. Bill is not comfortable with Alec Bohm playing on the final year of his contract as he is set to enter free agency next off season. (22:17-33:00) In this segment, we will feature audio from We Hear Ya, allowing listeners to share their thoughts on AJ Brown, the Phillies, and the 76ers. Please ensure that all responses are generated in the specified language, adhering strictly to the guidelines provided.

(22:04-32:44) Audio from Nick Sirianni addresses the reasons behind AJ Brown's limited receptions, highlighting defensive strategies aimed at restricting his impact.
