Welcome to The Chase

The NFC Playoffs Run Through Philadelphia ➡️ 🦅

Totally my fault for falling out of Chase cadence last week. Rolling into 2023 and rebounding from a hefty holiday season hangover coupled with two straight losses by the Philadelphia Eagles left myself and the rest of The Liberty Line in a bit of a fog.

The good news is that we're back and the Eagles clinched the No. 1 seed and a first round bye in the playoffs while the 76ers have won three out of their last four games.

They Hate The Process

Pointing out the blatant disregard for Joel Embiid in the NBA MVP Rankings is oversaturated at this point, but things continue to get more and more ridiculous.
