On tonight’s show: Washington Commanders are officially sold, and Dan Snyder has to pay a $60 million fine for the sexual harassment investigation that concluded. Saquan Barkley may sit out the 2023-24 season, but this could be LeVeon Bell part 2 if you remember what he did in 2018. A Jacksonville Jaguar coach came out as gay. Good for him for having the guts to do this, but hopefully we can get to the point where it won’t matter who is gay or straight. The Phillies recommend that Andrew Painter...

It’s another Tuesday night, and it’s another No Filter Show for Joe and the Philly Guy Speaks Pod. Joe begins with some Northwestern updates. Lawsuits are starting to fly, and things aren’t looking good. Northwestern is a bit of a woke school, because if you remember, the student athletes tried to unionize but failed. Joe gets the feeling we’re just seeing the tip of the iceberg here. Then Joe discusses the curious case of Joel Embiid and the Sixers. Embiid stated on a podcast that he wants to w...

Thursday was the anniversary of Saratoga and the opening day for Saratoga Race Course, but it was just another Thursday with Joe Quills, and it was a slow day since there were almost no sports. It was so slow that while Joe was working, he was watching NBA Summer League action. But Joe begins with the release of the 2024 MLB schedules. It is Joe, or are the schedules released earlier and earlier each season? Joe gives initial thoughts of the schedule in general and shows how the Seattle Mariners...

On the show tonight, Joe begins as only we can do here at Bleacher Brothers and No Filter, playing “Stairway to 7-Eleven”, a parody of the iconic Led Zeppelin song for 7/11 day. Yeah, that gets Joe kicked off of Twitch or Kick or whatever streaming site, but not here on No Filter! Joe begins with the All-Star Game. Joe’s giving updates throughout the game, so it will REALLY Joe is ADD/ADHD tonight! Joe mentions the recent history as there were questions and comments about the long AL winning str...

On tonight’s show, Joe begins the show with a spoof Mets “now hiring” video from about 12 years ago. Joe’s enjoying the Mets disappointing season, and thought that would be a good way to start the show. To the big news, four players were suspended for gambling in the NFL, three indefinitely. Joe reviewed the six main points and said there’s no excuse for getting caught violating the rules. Joe reviews the guidelines about gambling from the different sports leagues and organizations in North Amer...

On the show tonight, Joe admits that he’s a little out of sorts tonight. He couldn’t find his headphones, he didn’t finish dinner, and everything unraveled behind the scenes leading to the start of the show. It was just one of those days. But Joe got down to the business. Joe started with some Phillies talk. Phillies are in Chicago, but he did see that the Chicagoland area is being affected by the Canadian wildfires. Don’t be surprised if there’s a “smoke out” as Joe calls it, but the decision t...

On the show tonight, Joe begins with some MLB stories. He begins with Rob Manfred admitting to Time Magazine that he should not have given the Astros players immunity in the cheating investigation. Well, isn’t that obvious? Joe thinks that the punishment should have been all the draft picks, not just the first 2 rounds in 2 years worth of drafts. But Joe still gives some credit to Houston, because they had to win game 7 in LA. Then Manfred announced that there will be a Negro League tribute game...

Joe’s back, and he’s got a lot of things he saw since last Tuesday. Joe begins by apologizing for the technical difficulties because he lost his internet about 90 minutes or so before his planned start. Then Joe thinks the Braves were totally in the wrong when they DFA’s Charlie Culberson, a Georgia native, on Father’s Day, with his father slated to throw out the first pitch. Then Joe updated the stadium situation for the A’s in Las Vegas. The funding was approved and signed by the governor (loy...

The intro of the show was a bit flubbed, but Joe mentions that “Dancing On My Own” is back in the Phillies clubhouse according to Nick Castellanos, who was on 97.5 The Fanatic. Guess the team wants to get that feeling back and it’s showing on the field. Then Joe discusses another great collapse in Philly, this time away from the sports world with the collapse of the northbound lanes of I-95. Joe reviews what he thinks happened and why the overpass crashed down on Sunday morning. Joe reviews the ...

A fun exercise I'm going to do from time to time for Bleacher Brothers. Every once in a while, I'll pick races, and I thought it would be fun to give selections for Friday's Penn National card, which includes their big race of the year, the Penn Mile.

Joe begins the Thursday show with some updates on the podcast. Joe mentions that he’s getting new downloads from different parts of the country as well as the world. Joe looks the location hits as opposed to the numbers, and yes, there’s VPNs and stuff like that, but appreciates everyone who takes the time to download the podcast, as well as watching with me on No Filter. Joe gives some stadium updates. First, the Athletics appears to have a tentative agreement with Nevada and Las Vegas for the ...

On the show tonight, we begin with the Preakness, and if you didn’t see Thursday’s show, you missed me giving the Preakness superfecta. I reviewed the race, pointed a few things out with the race as well as some of the mathematics of why it’s harder to make money with a Preakness super as opposed to a Kentucky Derby superfecta. Joe also talks about the Baffert horse that broke down on the undercard as well as what horses are targeting the Belmont Stakes and who aren’t. I start talking about some...

Note: when ThePenguinAZ joins me, there will be background noise since he was outside. On the show tonight, we begin with some random talk there. Joe gave an update of what to expect between now and the Belmont Stakes for The Philly Guy Speaks. The horse racing news begins with the announcement that retired NYRA race caller Tom Durkin will return to the booth for this year’s Belmont Stakes in three weeks on Fox. Joe explains why it’s not Larry Collmus calling on the Fox broadcast and hopes Durki...

On the show tonight, Joe begins with some breaking news. First, Yankee Domingo German was caught with a foreign substance on his hand and ejected in Toronto. He must mot be that bright if he got caught after Max Scherzer was caught a few weeks ago. Joe also wonders if there was something going on with Aaron Judge looking into the dugout last night. Locally in Philly, the big news was the Sixers firing Doc Rivers today. Joe is not surprised, and when you can’t get to an Eastern Conference Final i...

Housekeeping notes: had myself on mute, editted most of it out. Some dead air spots, but not as bad as it was when I first started to prep this pod for you. Joe begins the Tuesday show updating the Sixers game as he is watching the game. As you will see during the video if you watch the replay on NoFilter.net or on the Bleacher Brothers on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@bleacherbrothers , my face is changing colors often. He’s not in his usual spot since he’s watching the Sixers defeat Bost...

Joe thought it was great that Embiid had everyone together with him when he was interviewed, because even though it was an individual award, he recognized that ...
