The Phillies agreed to a massive contract with free agent shortstop Trea Turner on Monday, which was perfect timing for the guys to discuss the deal and Turner's potential impact on the roster (5:59), what the lineup looks like in 2023 (16:58), and whether the signing closes the gap on the Braves and Mets (21:38). Then, after the Eagles topped the Titans on Sunday (31:38), Jalen Hurts gets his due – at least on this pod – as the favorite to win the NFL MVP award (38:13).

Then, Joe gets heated about Rob Thomson's managerial performance against the Braves on Sunday (36:52) before pouring his special brand of cold water all over the good feelings that the fan base has for the interim manager (51:03).

(22:19) Joe then shares his thoughts on what the team should be looking for in a new manager while John is, suffice to say, significantly less picky (31:15).

Then, it's Super Bowl LVI, which sealed John's win the playoff pick 'em and earned Zac Taylor some criticism from Joe (28:51). What does this win mean for Matthew Stafford's legacy (32:48) and the chances of another team doing a Rams-style all-in push for a title (38:21)?

Then, it's onto a pretty much meaningless Eagles-Cowboys game (29:25) before the guys take a brief look at the Birds' Wild Card matchup with the Buccaneers (42:04).

The guys are back and they are steamed, which is nothing out of the ordinary. But instead of being upset *at* their teams, they're angry *for* their teams, as professional sports leagues across America have conspired to screw Philadelphia's teams during the COVID-19 pandemic. The postponement of the Eagles' Week 15 matchup with Washington draws their ire first (8:00) before the NHL and NBA come in for criticism while MLS catches some flak as well (15:21). That said, it's Christmas, so the guys hand out gifts to some local sports personalities, teams, and each other (28:29) to go into the holiday with some positivity...or not?

In the first episode of 2021, the guys talk about how the Eagles just couldn't let everybody head quietly into the offseason without one more ridiculous controversy (4:39) before the preseason wins pool gets resolved...for now (16:55). After a quick look at Wild Card Weekend (19:14) and some Sixers talk (24:21), the guys delve into their favorite sports jerseys (32:37), leading to a shocking revelation that puts the future of the podcast in peril.

19. 12/22/20: The Boo Birds Christmas Spectacular
Christmas is just days away, so the guys decided to plan their own virtual holiday party. First, of course, they discuss Sunday's Eagles–Cardinals game (5:00) and the ESPN.com story about Carson Wentz's trade demand (26:31), which one of the guys believes, and one does not. Finally, Joe and John give out theoretical Christmas gifts to some current and former Philadelphia athletes, as well as each other. (38:49).

What do you know? The Eagles knocked off the Saints! This week, the guys discuss the Birds' win over New Orleans and the performance of Jalen Hurts (3:47) before Joe speculates that Doug Pederson is a better coach with a backup quarterback (8:17), among other oddities about Sunday's win; the guys then move on to applauding the Phillies – one week after roasting them for half an hour – for the hire of Dave Dombrowski (24:54).

Jalen Hurts finally replaced Carson Wentz this week, and the Boo Birds have thoughts (6:24); the guys also go deeper on whether the 2020 season can be salvaged and what that even means at this point (12:30), the life and times of Carson Wentz (16:51), and the situations of Doug Pederson and Howie Roseman (24:25). Then, John takes aim at the Phillies after they were rumored to be shopping Zack Wheeler amid an offseason of not actually doing anything (32:12) before the guys discuss the front office situation (40:42), guys who will be back (49:24), and guys who could – well, theoretically – be added (54:37).

16. 12/01/20: The Best Philadelphia Sports Movies
The Eagles didn't play until Monday night, which means the guys avoided Eagles talk on this week's episode. Instead, the guys (mostly Joe) take the NFL to task for its handling of recent COVID-19 cases in Baltimore and Denver (9:59) before they (entirely Joe) go after MLS for its handling of its postseason bracket (16:30) and segue into a brief discussion of the Union's historic season (24:12). Finally, John breaks down his list of the best Philadelphia sports movies that he wrote for The Philadelphia Globe (30:33).

In a packed show, the guys talk about the Sixers' recent transactions on the trade and free agency markets (7:33) before giving the Eagles' loss to the Browns much more attention than it deserves (18:52). Then, a new feature is born as a listener tweet sparks a discussion about which Philadelphia coaches, past or present, the Boo Birds want to see throw hands (21:55). Finally, Matthew DeGeorge of the Delaware County Daily Times calls in as the pod's first-ever guest and goes deep with the guys about the Philadelphia Union's quest for the MLS Cup title, which begins Tuesday night in Chester (31:00).

This week, the guys fail miserably in their attempt to put out a shorter episode during the Eagles' bye week. After the usual pleasantries and beverage-related buffoonery, the guys take a few minutes to reflect on the passing of legendary Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek (3:00) before discussing the Union's win over New England on Sunday that clinched the first trophy in club history and the team's playoff prospects (9:03). Then, since there was no Eagles game to talk about, they decided to take an in-depth look at where Carson Wentz ranks among NFL quarterbacks (25:40).

While you're on your way to the polls, or while you're waiting in line to vote, or if you've already voted, take a break from the political talk and join the Boo Birds as they discuss the excitement of Daryl Morey joining the Sixers' front office (6:12), the frustration of Kevin Cash overmanaging in Game 6 of the World Series (21:59), the fury of seeing Justin Turner on the field after the game despite carrying a positive COVID-19 test result (31:42), and then the contractually obligated discussion of the Eagles-Cowboys game (46:08). Plus, John tries a new beverage, and the effects are noticeable (4:56).

The Eagles are back in first place after a win over the Giants on Thursday Night Football (7:05). They're not the only ones, though, as the Union took Toronto FC behind the proverbial woodshed on Saturday night for a 5-0 beatdown that vaulted the local MLS side into first place with three matches remaining in this most irregular of regular seasons (31:48), and you best believe Joe talked about it at length. Finally, the guys talk about the preposterous finish to Game 4 of the World Series (45:14). Bet you didn't think you'd hear the name "Enos Slaughter" today, did you?
