On this Saturday morning podcast: •Draft update •Best words in sports: game seven / Playoff update •Phillies’ uniform conundrum •What to expect on No Filter this upcoming week
On the show tonight, so begins with the news that Aaron Rodgers was finally traded to the New York Jets. It’s the Jordan Love era in Green Bay, and in North Jersey, Jets fans think they have a change at making the playoffs (and more). Joe wonders how crazy would it be that Rodgers plays around 64% of the plays (Green Bay needs A-Rod to play a minimum of 65% of snaps played to convey the 2024 pick to be a first rounder instead of a second), gets injured and Zach Wilson saves the day? Not happenin...
On this episode: •Edmonton/LA Kings controversy •Almost perfect game at Wrigley today •4 Lions, 1 Commander suspended for gambling •Matt Patricia an Eagles assistant •Embiid out for game 4 •Philly 3-way parlay for the Phriday Phade
On the Thursday show, Joe begins talking like Bob Dylan sings in “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35” in accordance with 420 Day. Joe reminds you that if you partake in today’s festivities, tomorrow is 4/21, or National Surprise Drug Test Day! The show begins with the news that the owner of the Oakland Athletics has purchased land not far from the Las Vegas Strip. So it appears that the next step has been taken in the A’s move to Sin City. Joe wouldn’t be surprised if Oakland is forced there before 20...
The Taxman cometh, and for some people he takes away as we inched towards the midnight deadline on the East coast. Joe had a weird day, but also felt the need to channel his inner Tony Bruno so Joe cometh with a rant that he hadn’t had before, at least not with this ferocity. Joe made an example of Google on stream tonight as they pulled a Breeders’ Cup blog post from 2019. Yes, three and a half years later! Joe went through all the guidelines that Google has, and does not see ANY reason, other ...
On this episode: •Rays finally lose •Mavericks fined 750k for “resting” players in key game •NBA & NHL matchups set •Ron Hextall fired as Pittsburgh GM •Phriday Phade
On the Thursday show, Joe began with story time. Over the last 36 to 48 hours, Joe had some bad luck in real life. Slow as sin cashiers, fellow cashiers bumping my cart into me, customers screaming non-stop the last two days while working. Trivial? Yes! But at least I can kinda make fun of it! Then we get to the sports portion of the show. There is going to be a new “Commander in Chief”. No, Biden is still the president, but Josh Harris’ group is buying the Commanders from Dan Snyder for over $6...
On the Tuesday show, Joe begins with some local Philly college basketball news as Drexel University is now part of the Philadelphia Big Five. The Big Five isn’t a real conference, but it’s an annual round robin event of the five Division I basketball schools (St. Joe’s, Temple, La Salle, Penn and Villanova). Because interest in the Big 5 has waned, the city schools added Drexel to the new format and competition starting this fall. Joe has a wait and see approach on this. Next Joe talks about the...
On this Saturday show, Joe begins with what it’s like to live the apartment life. The fire alarm went off an hour before the show. So instead of doing final prep for the pod, he took a walk to get away from the unnecessary noise and the idiocy of some people who had the front door popped open and had the guts to say “hey, leave that box there”. Shaking. My. Head. Rockin’ Reese knocks and we catch up on the men’s and women’s tourneys and even talked about a topic that I try to avoid…politics. Nic...
There was no stream on Thursday night because I was at the Sixers game, but I did want to do a quick podcast to update that I will be on NoFilter.net at 1 pm ET on Saturday (4/8). Also, some random thoughts of the Phillies living rent free in Mets' fans heads, mentioning how I was not ripped off because I graduated in air conditioning at Drexel University, and a Phriday Phade pick.
On the Tuesday night show, Joe begins by congratulating the UConn Huskies on winning the National Championship on Monday night. They got a scare by San Diego State, but pulled away to a 17-point win. Then Joe replayed the video that he first showed on last Thursday’s show where Anthony Rendon had his incident with an Oakland A’s fan. MLB made their decision to suspend him for 5 games, but was quickly appealed and reduced to 4. Joe mentioned that the setup of the stadium is quirky and may have le...
Joe’s always up for a challenge. Fellow NoFilter.net host PlayActionReal told Joe in a previous show that he was planning on going on a work outing to Turf Paradise in Phoenix, AZ. Well, PAR can’t go because of work, but I am STILL taking up the challenge which is even more daunting. Turns out that they have quarterhorse races on top of the usual thoroughbred races. Joe’s been cold lately, but maybe going out of his element here will get his confidence with his look at the 10-race card here....
On this episode: •Joe talks about the Pikkit app (use my code FIELDGOAL7540) •Anthony Rendon possibly in trouble •Phriday Phade •Florida and Arkansas Derby picks
On the Thursday show, Joe begins with a dad joke that bombed. Then we got to some odds and ends. There will be an extra show on Monday night as Joe will tackle the Wednesday card at Turf Paradise. There will also be the usual shows on Tuesday and Thursday, and the audio only show on Friday night. Joe talked about Opening Day. Joe insists that Aaron Judge has a natural upper cut swing that leads to a ton of homers, because he’s 8 foot 7 or whatever he is! Then Joe talks Phillies and blames the lo...
On this Tuesday episode, Joe begins talking about the water situation in Philly and thinks that Mayor Jim Kenney could have waited until after Joe’s show to announce the water is clean and not having any of the chemicals that they were worried about when a spill happened upstream in Bucks County, PA. Joe did announce that since he’s on vacation next week, there will be an additional show on Monday 4/3. Time is TBA, as it will be his promised Turf Paradise handicapping show for the card on Wednes...
On this episode: Joe talks about the NCAA Men’s Tourney and the Phillies first base situation with Rhys Hoskins out for the year with an ACL tear (though he talked about that Thursday night on NoFilter.net). Finally, Joe gives his picks for the Jeff Ruby Steaks at Turfway, the Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds, and the Sunland Derby at Sunland Park.
On the Thursday edition of the TPGS, Joe begins with some breaking news. Or is that tearing news? Rhys Hoskins tore his ACL, but Joe isn’t too worried about Hoskins out for the year because there are guys who can fill in Rhys’ place. Though the injury happened earlier in the day, Joe gives spitballs some names that could play first base this year, including someone you make not think of but might make sense! The Saints are apparently named so for saving lives, or Joe thinks. First Jon Dorenbos’ ...
On the Tuesday show, Joe opened with the horse racing scene from “A Bronx Tale”. Why? The jinx variable that I always talk about. But in this case, I had to give myself one of those because I’m getting back on track with wagering on the horses, and Joe would have had the late pick 4 and late pick 5 at Parx. Umm yeah, Joe just wanted to see how his handicapping skills were despite not having a full bankroll, and could have brought some extra money into his account. Then we got to the main portion...
Going scriptless toniight. Talking about the craziness of the tourney so far with Princeton upsetting Arizona and Fairleigh Dickinson pulling off the 16 over 1 upset for only the second time since the tourney expanded in 1985. Also thoughts on Edwin Diaz tearing up his knee celebrating Puerto Rico's win in the WBC. Then a few Saturday plays in the Phriday Phade. Join Joe Tuesdays and Thursday now starting at 9:15 pm at nofilter.net. The Philly Guy Speaks is part of the Bleacher Brothers Sports N...
On tonight’s show, we get into the March Madness mood, but before we get to the brackets, Joe begins by discussing how Aaron Rodgers is holding two teams hostage right now playing the same game he’s played with the Packers demanding certain players. Then Joe discusses the fine line that Ja Morant is teetering on between saving his career going to rehab and throwing it all away. Joe thinks holding yourself accountable can help Morant’s career. Then we get to the college basketball, and first we d...
On this Friday night episode: •Pikkit app; college basketball heating up like my picks •Chuck Fletcher fired; Danny Briere named interim GM •Boeheim out at Syracuse, Ewing fired at Georgetown, Anderson out at St. John’s.

On the Thursday show, we begin with the coaching carousel starting to spin in men’s college basketball. Joe has a problem with the verbiage the media is presenting about Jim Boeheim’s departure from Syracuse. Was he fired? Did he retire on his own? Things are murky there. What isn’t murky is Patrick Ewing was let go by his alma mater Georgetown, which was not a surprise. Then we talk NFL, as the Jets believe they can get Aaron Rodgers to come to the Meadowlands. Danny Dimes got paid a ridiculous...
On the Tuesday show, Joe again forgot to unmute his mic, but it was only for a few seconds this time. Progress anyone? Anyways, Joe begins with some story time that substantiates Joe’s trend of forgetting things. Then we get to the good stuff. Some NFL news broke during the afternoon. The Ravens gave Lamar Jackson the nonexclusive franchise tag, the Giants signed Danny Dimes to a 4 year contract and tagged Sequon Barkley and Aaron Rodgers will be meeting with the Jets in California. Then Joe has...
On this episode: Antoine Davis falls short of scoring record (for now?) Technical malfunction in Grapefruit League game Picks for the Gotham at Aqueduct, San Felipe at Santa Anita and Fountain of Youth at Gulfstream
On Thursday's show on NoFilter, Joe begins by making fun of himself because he didn't unmute his mic! But Joe did mention that the Flyers are an embarrassment right now, and it showed by the New York Rangers fans taking over the Wells Fargo Center. Rockin' Reese knocked and gave his opinion on that as well. Then Joe went over the proposed rule changes in the NCAA and NFL football. Finally, Joe has some Stuipd S--- he saw, as horses at Tampa Bay Downs had to avoid an alligator on the track!
On the Tuesday No Filter show: •Joe talks about asterisks in sports as Pete Maravich’s scoring record might be eclipsed in the Horizon League tournament •Joe needs to go on a rant about the plastic bag ban. Yeah, it’s good for the environment, but Joe’s rant isn’t because he’s cheap. •Joe answers Lakers questions from ThePenguinAZ •Rockin’ Reese and ThePenguinAZ join in the stream through the knocker room •The show ends with some “Stupid S---” Joe saw

On this episode, Joe’s a little under the weather, but he still wanted to do this show. Here’s the main points: Checking to see if anyone watched XFL, Daytona 500, etc. New Mexico State men’s basketball season ended for hazing incident, other incidents earlier in the year MLB rule changes Review of the Risen Star Stakes at the Fair Grounds PlayActionReal knocks and joins the stream...
