Is Chickie and Pete’s quite far out then? I was contemplating going there to watch the SB (if we get there) as I’m going to fly in from the UK. But if it’s too far out I’ll reconsider.

But it'd still be nice to have something more convenient right within the sports complex. I always walk there but then take their free shuttle back to the game.

Its free and im sure they will open up some of the food stands

Oh that’s definitely walkable then… Though take your point about the middle of winter. Does it get really cold in Philly in Feb? 10 hours ago, HazletonEagle said: It's very walkable. All flat.

Yes it can get down into the teens in (fahrenheit) so yes really cold but, sometimes we have unusually warm weather. Good luck trying to get into a sports bar during the super bowl man, its going to be insane

Sueno and city tap house are provisionally booked but I’ve asked about Founding Fathers and The Post too.
January 15Jan 15 As I said a few games ago, Embiid already played with his sprained foot that he is now missing games for. Someone Fd up. Its not getting attention like his mis-managed knee did this summer. But it should. Finally an article written about it. https://thelibertyline.com/2025/01/13/joel-embiid-injury-concerns/ The Philadelphia 76ers’ handling of Joel Embiid and injuries, in general, has become a masterclass in confusion and frustration. Once again, fans are left in the dark, scratching their heads about what’s happening with their franchise player. The blame of course, falls squarely on ownership and management, who have consistently failed to communicate clear plans or strategies regarding injuries, leaving fans, media, and likely even the team itself in a perpetual state of bewilderment. The 76ers’ inability to properly handle Joel Embiid’s health feels like a recurring nightmare. Embiid’s latest setback—a left foot sprain—has sidelined him for five straight games and counting, with the team once again facing criticism over their approach. Embiid initially suffered the injury on Christmas Day against the Celtics but inexplicably played in four more games afterward. The decision to push him through, despite clear warning signs, seems to have backfired, leaving both Embiid and the Sixers in worse shape. Now, Philly sits at a dismal 15-22, barely hanging on in the East, and we are halfway through January with Embiid continuously remaining a major question mark. This isn’t the first time the Sixers have botched the injury narrative, and it probably won’t be the last. Whether it’s Embiid’s mysterious "day-to-day” statuses that stretch into weeks or Ben Simmons’ infamous back-and-forth during his final season, the Sixers have a habit of muddying the waters. Are the medical staff too cautious? Is it the front office pushing players back too soon? Is it just incompetence? Nobody knows, and that’s the problem. If Embiid has a sprained foot, tell us the recovery timeline. If he’s being rested for the long haul, say so explicitly. The constant vagueness feels like a calculated effort to dodge accountability and avoid tough questions from the media That said, the organization must find a balance. What’s the plan here? Is Embiid being shut down until he’s 100%? Will he ramp up toward the end of the season? Is there a legitimate plan to ensure he’s not running on fumes by April? It’s not enough to say, "We’re being cautious.” The Sixers need to lay out a roadmap for how they’ll handle their star player, both for his sake and for the sake of the team’s future.

January 15Jan 15 KJ Martin is now eligible to get traded. Here are the players who the Sixers can unilaterally move between now and Feb. 6, with each player's salary: Player 2024-25 salary Paul George $49,205,800 Tyrese Maxey $35,147,000 Caleb Martin $8,149,001 Kelly Oubre Jr. $7,983,000 KJ Martin $7,975,000 Andre Drummond $5,000,000 Jared McCain $4,020,360 Eric Gordon $3,303,771 Reggie Jackson $2,087,519 Guerschon Yabusele $2,087,519 Ricky Council IV $1,891,857 Adem Bona $1,157,153
January 15Jan 15 Author hell ….trade yabu to okc to get that 1st rounder back. Probably can’t re-sign him anyway.
January 15Jan 15 Most important move is Paul George for Jimmy Butler. Let that Butler contract expire and free up that cap in the summer. Let him sign elsewhere as a free agent. Then, the KJ Martin move should bring picks in return. Don't worry about a player in that anymore.
January 15Jan 15 As crazy as it sounds - I wonder if we could do a 3 way trade with Paul George where we wind up taking Ben Simmons' expiring contract back as part of the deal and then buy him out? There aren't too many guys besides Butler who have an expiring max contract to match PG's salary. (Technically, Butler has a player option)
