So I guess a reintroduction is in order.
Hi! I’m Brian!
I’m an American who commentates Aussie Rules Football and cricket, but I follow most other sports and am a lifelong Philly sports fan.
I do freelance work and love popping into podcasts to chat, so if you think I can help, let me know!

A longtime soccer twitter friend of mine who has not been to Philly but has adopted all of the Philly sports teams wore an Eagles hat to the Arsenal women’s game in London and she got a GO BIRDS and she said that was the first time anyone said that to her.

I thought there was no money in women sports. 😅
Just in:
An Unrivaled spokesperson tells me that its Philadelphia doubleheader delivered $2 million in revenue to the league, including over $1 million in ticket revenue and $400,000 in merchandise sales at the arena.

The thing I’ll remember most about last night isn’t the play on the court. It’s how much money was made.
Want to judge women’s sports as a business? I do too. So let’s talk about a fundamental rule of economics.
How can you measure demand when there’s no supply?

The WNBA ignoring Philly for 30 years is among the biggest mistakes that league has made
Official from Unrivaled:
21,490 fans in the building tonight.
That’s an all-time record for the highest-attended regular season professional women's basketball game ever.
Also, a record for a professional basketball game — men’s or women’s — at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

Everyone watches women's sports.
The announced attendance is 21,490 - the largest announced crowd in this building's history.
The prior record for basketball was 21,305 for 76ers-Bulls in 1998.
The prior record for any crowd was 21,424 for a Backstreet Boys concert in 1999.
The smaller court made room for more seats tonight.

So my 5yo lost her second tooth last night but she lost the tooth last time (it came out while she was brushing her teeth and we think it went down the drain)
Anyway I was the tooth fairy last night and I left the money but forgot to take the tooth.
I think I’m gonna end up on a PIP because of it.

I love curling so much.
Alberta-Sturmay gets out of a jam and a potential upset from New Brunswick by scoring **7** in the final end on this perfectly executed shot.
This clinches a playoff spot and knocks out Northern Ontario and Alberta-Skrlik.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
