7 Winners From The Embiid Fight

Before we get to the seven reasons, here's a link to last night's fight pod, that Spike and Mike recorded at 3am today. 

This is when Andrew Unterberger does his best work, as we all know him as a brawler. He's a real-life, "you should have seen the other guy" guy. 

7. The City of Philadelphia

At the risk of being too “Baltimore was the main character of The Wire” about all of this, obviously we’re all one of the major winners here. How many other sports towns even have enough of a recognizable personality that one of our 20-something athletes could make a cross-sports callback to a team from nearly half a century ago in order to properly chest-puff about representing for his home city? Not like we really needed anything else to properly bond JoJo to us forever after all we’ve already been through together, but if our long-term relationship needed a little bit of a spark to make things spicy again, we certainly got it last night. 

6. Karl-Anthony Towns’ Mother

I mean, respect to her for almost making for an impromptu grudge match by nearly leaping out of her section to give Joel some on his way to the tunnel. (Embiid couldn’t help but give her a h/t in his Instagram comment.) Put Jacqueline Cruz in the proud pantheon of Put ‘Em Up Process Parents, along with Chukwudi Okafor, Shawn-Chapman McDaniels and Ebony Fultz, and give her honorary #FromHere status while we’re at it.

The new shirt is... a lot. It's inspired by metal artwork from the 1980s through today, with obvious hints of Megadeth and Killswitch Engage. It's a shirt that is a special Halloween release, and is a BARGAIN at 21.99 for some triblend luxury. It's designed by Tanner Lowry, and will certainly confuse your friends and family. Don't miss it. 

This is about 2/3 full! This is going to be great. Come watch Sixers vs. Pacers with us at 3pm, and then the NYE Party with TJ McConnell. Reserve your spot here. 

Join us for a night at the Blue Coats. Tickets are just $14, you also get a free Ricky/Blue Coats t-shirt, dollar dogs, and we'll do a Live Ricky on the court after the game. Click here and use promo code RTRS. 

Happy Halloween (again)!
